10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash

4. No Match At WrestleMania 18 Because WWE Was Worried About Scott Hall

When the NWO returned in 2002 it was built up to be a huge deal because Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash & Scott Hall were all instrumental in the growth of WCW. Vince McMahon brought them in as a group that would "poison" WWE and they were put in major angles right away. One of their most famous matches was a 3 on 2 handicap match with the NWO guys teaming up against The Rock and Steve Austin. Since WrestleMania 18 was on the horizon soon after the NWO debut, people figured all three NWO guys would have a match at the biggest show of the year. Hulk Hogan faced off with The Rock, Scott Hall was against Steve Austin and Kevin Nash was left completely off the card. It was weird because you would think WWE would want to feature a big name like Nash, but they kept him out of the ring. The reason they didn't put Nash in a match is because WWE knew Hall was behaving erratically and his alcohol problem was out of control, so they kept Nash off the card in case they needed him to replace Hall against Austin. There were also rumors that Nash was going to face Undertaker so that he could be against one of WWE's top guys like Hall was taking on Austin and Hogan was taking on Rock, but we don't know that one for sure. It would have made more sense to put Nash in the match instead of Hall in the first place. Even though Hall was the better in ring performer of two, if he's the one that was irresponsible why reward him with a match? Odd choice. Hall ended up getting fired a few months after WrestleMania 18 anyway while Nash remained.
