10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Competed At Wrestle Kingdom
5. Kevin Nash
Kevin Nash, for reasons both good and bad, is one of the most important wrestlers of all time.
Nash has been a main eventer in the WWF, WCW, and TNA and was a major backstage player in all three of those companies.
In 2009, Nash took a break from Too Sweet-ing his buddies and tearing his quads to compete at Wrestle Kingdom III.
He was part of a team called "Legend", which also included Masahiro Chono and Riki Chosu. They took on the GBH stable, which stands for "Great Bash Heel" rather than Grevious Bodily Harm, because Japan.
Whilst some big American names like Vader and Chris Jericho went to Japan to either hone their craft or make their name, Big Daddy Cool came from a very different breed of wrestler who got big in America and stayed there.
Outside of a few appearances for All Japan Pro Wrestling, this was Nash's sole appearance for a major Japanese wrestling company. It's nice that the big man got this chance and it's also nice that those two Japanese Diesel fans got a chance to see their hero.
