10 Wrestlers Who Ruined Their Bodies For The Business
9. Kevin Nash
No, Kevin Nash isn't someone any wrestling fan would describe as a "super-worker". He didn't deliver springboard aerials or bump around like a man possessed (like The Dynamite Kid). However, it's important to remember Nash's physical size - this was a big man moving around that ring.
Kev's previous stint as a basketball player proved his athleticism, but no man in the 7ft range is going to take the physical pounding being a pro wrestler demands without pain. Did Nash bump and feed like a prime Bryan Danielson? Nah. Did his knees take serious abuse from years and years of in-ring work? Absolutely.
Look at the pic above for evidence.
Nash appears to have slimmed down up top too. Shedding some muscle likely helped his legs, but numerous surgeries have helped correct what you see on the left there. The one-time Diesel's lengthy wrestling career played a huge role in that physical breakdown.
