5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Dec 1)

Kevin Nash recently made an appearance on a terrible Sky One original comedy drama entitled 'Living The Dream' in which a Yorkshire family uproot to a Florida trailer park in order to 'Live The Dream'. But, as you can imagine, this dream soon turns into a nightmare! Or something. That's probably the premise.
A Nash cameo on a terrible TV show isn't newsworthy in itself - he, after all, appeared on 'Love Boat: The Next Wave' - but writer Mick Ford, despite devising such a hack-tastic title, has a certain way with a rib. In the show, Nash plays a retired wrestler suffering from a shoulder injury. Ford was clearly clever enough to realise a torn quad was too on-the-nose. In the show wink-wink, Nash's character Troy Marshall is too broken down to "make it look good for the people", and so his match with Buff Bagwell is the same "stuff" he subjected WWE audiences to in 2011.
Nash throws weak boots and weak elbows in the corner, doing that and everything else at a snail's pace. A match framed as a disaster on a lighthearted sitcom contained as much action as his effort against Triple H at TLC 2011 - which was the net result of the Summer of Punk storyline.
