What a joyous experience the marriage between TNA and a Kevin Nash in comedic career-form was. Starting life in Orlando as one of Jeff Jarrett's Kings Of Wrestling group (Elvis jumpsuit included), he sardonically mocked (and aimed to "destroy") the X Division as a way to earnestly try and get the ailing flyers over.
