10 Wrestlers That Became Complete Party Animals

6. Kevin Nash

Kevin Nash was credited with the suggestion that there'd been a significant social paradigm shift in the late 1990s. Wrestlers, so said 'Big Sexy', didn't party like rock stars - the rock stars partied like wrestlers.

It spoke mostly to WCW (and the industry at large) and its most hedonistic, and while Nash was usually able to keep it together on screen, there were select occasions where the locker room animal made it all the way out to the ring.

Guilty of namedropping the suspended Scott Hall whenever he fancied as per the power he held over those that once had power over him, the seven-footer was famously the life of the party when WCW held their 1998 "Spring Break" edition of Monday Nitro in Panama City.

In direct contravention of a "no going in the pool" rule just because he could, a three-sheets-to-the-wind dove in right before Paul Wight was to throw Scott Hall in as an offensive manoeuvre. Fabulous (if hugely unprofessional) patter from the big man, who has since found a fondness for fine wine over whatever it was he might have imbibed at the height of the war.
