10 Wrestlers That Seriously Took The Piss
8. Kevin Nash
Kevin Nash spent some of his biggest-earning years taking the piss out of the industry that he'd found his fortune in, and it was impossible not to want to be on his side of the jokes.
The coolest guy in every room then, now and forever, 'Big Sexy' had a way with words that often outstripped what he could offer in the ring even at his mid-1990s peak, particularly if he could exert some control over the situation.
Few others could have pioneered the tweener role as well as he did at the tail-end of his Diesel run in WWE, but the Cool Hand Luke manifestation of that appeared in the dying days of WCW (and batsh*t insane ones of TNA) holds up as a character ahead of its time for understanding the merit of premium patter.
He took to mocking himself with the comfort of a man that had the money not to give a sh*t but the size (and stroke) to do something about it if anybody agreed. A departing boss openly mocking the process on the final show he held the book for, a 'King Of Wrestling' dressed in an Elvis Presley jumpsuit, a legendarily ground-based big man pretending he was moonlighting in Mexican X divisions - he got across every gag about him and got paid to take the piss out the millions watching him.
Were millions actually watching? They were that night.
