Kevin Nash has been involved in professional wrestling since making his debut way back in 1990. Since then, he's worked for almost every major company in the industry, including WCW, WWE, New Japan and TNA. In that time, Nash has faced a plethora of wrestling greats, but he counts one current WWE star as his favourite to share the ring with.

Recently, the artist formerly known as Diesel was asked to sit down and compile a list of his favourite rivals by Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard. The results were eye-opening, in a collection that included the likes of The Undertaker and Bret Hart, AJ Styles snatched the number one slot.

Undertaker and Hart came in at numbers two and three respectively, but it was AJ who came out on top in Nash's eyes. Working together in TNA, the pair had several matches that Nash counts as some of his best.

At the time, the veteran was well into his late-40's, and he was surprised at how much Styles was able to draw from him. It's a huge compliment to AJ that Nash feels this way and a testament to his simply phenomenal ability.
