I remember the set up to their title match was pretty cool with Kev power bombing Bret through a table. This was in 95/96 so the table spot hadn’t been worn out yet and was probably one of the first times it was done on WWF tv.
Exactly. When Vince decided that Diesel should be a babyface, it killed his run before it even got started. It was slim pickings when it came to top heels that a babyface Diesel could have a money program with. But if he had been a heel during his year long title reign, then he’s got guys to work with like Bret, Razor, Taker, maybe Luger, HBK could’ve turned face sooner, Owen could’ve turned as well, and now you’ve got all these guys who are chasing a heel champion Diesel who should’ve been portrayed as the monster at the end of a dungeon who is protecting his gold. McMahon is a genius, no question, but sometimes he tries too often to piss against the wind. 1995 was a horrible year for the WWF, but with one simple change of keeping Diesel a heel, it didn’t have to be as bad as it was.
@@TheGingerExpress243 Remember the promo he did on Raw the night after Survivor Series 1995 when he lost the title to Bret? It was outstanding! I remember thinking “why couldn’t have Vince let the fans have THAT Diesel during his year long title reign?” Because that guy was money! Just let him be a take-no-prisoners ass kicker who refused to be a corporate stooge and would steamroll anyone who tried to take the belt away from him.
Dude Kev was awful. Couldn’t work and couldn’t cut a promo. His title reign almost killed the WWF. The Outsiders gimmick was great but Nash was bad in the role and hugely responsible for WCW being terrible as it went on (though this was as a booker, but still).
@@JoeGamer81 Diesel vs. Taker at WM is one of the best big man matches of all-time. And Bret vs. Diesel was always money. Kev COULD work, and are you insane that he couldn't cut a promo?? He lived on his ability to cut a promo in WCW.
The irony is the worst thing that could have happened to aew was vince selling the company. When he was still in charge, the wwe was in the toilet creatively speaking, which gave aew the window that it needed to burst out on the scenes. People were soo sick of vinces creative garbage at the time, that they were begging for an alternative wrestling program. But now that hhh is running the shows, wwe programming has gotten good again. aew is the company now in turmoil and tony khan is to blame just like Vince was to blame for the past 8 or 9 years of garbage wwe television. Tony khan just needs to step out of his own way and hire, former pro wrestlers, that have a really good mindset for the business and let it play out. Tony khan is the single biggest reason for aews problems right now. I mean hes made active wrestlers apart of the companies operations, which just screams drama and corruption. Why he thought that was a good idea boggles my mind and yet he's still doing it with guys like Daniel Bryan. He never learnt from the young bucks being all VP's mistake. Its dumb decisions like that is what's costing aew.

I’d absolutely love some pods where Nash talks to some of the people he’s had an issue with in the past… it’ll never happen… he always talks such a big game but has nothing to say to your face … typical kliq bs still all these years later
@@roccojamison89gooker51 kev may be jacked. But he ain't taking any bumps at this point. him vs punk isnt happening unless WWE throws a check at him so large he'd take it just by default.
1st. Love ya Kev! U and Scott were my role models and coolest guys I’ve ever witnessed! Much kudos and respect to u!! Long live Scott, Long live T and shout to Sean as well! (Oliver) 🫡🤞🏽✅
AEW was a wonderful opportunity for the likes of Arn and Cornette, with the right financial backing, to have more influence in guiding a pro wrestling show that would've been a true alternative to WWE. Shame what it's actually become.
Kevin Nash FKA Big Daddy Cool Diesel has had some of the cool entrance music and ring gear, I would’ve loved to see Kevin Nash/Diesel team up with the undertaker back in the 90’s/2000’s
Would have loved seeing Diesel Vs. Kane back in 2002 when nWo came in.. I don't know why they didn't pull the trigger on that match.. They were close on a couple occasions, but I just don't get how management didn't see you have 2 near 7 footers, nearly identical in look (long hair, both huge human beings) and not put them together?
You poor baby 👶 If the WWF machine didn't build up your confidence and give you the fat push, you never would've got all the cushy perks off of ATM Eric or Ted 🤑🤑
Yea Kevin Nash literally has ZERO to do with his success. He just stayed home and Vince and Eric used holograms of him and then sent him $. Good call...very intelligent insight
Kevin and Bret did some of their best stuff when business was down.

Tony would find as has found a way to screw up no matter how advantageous a position he might be in.
Well put. Tony Khan really needs to stop being a fan and buddies with the performers. I dont think they respect him. Hes an atm.
After finding out that Vince loved "crap", the quality of the product for he's last years. Makes perfect sense 💩💩
Kevin nash a great guy I wish him and roddy piper were friends they are my two favorite Wrestlers

Kevin looking thicker and healther. Like he ready for a return.
I want Nash to return to WWE and finally have a match with CM Punk. 12 years of a build up
Those Jacknifes he gave him ruled, to HHH too.
@@gcgc6381 Check out the Jacknife Powerbomb Nash gave to Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2003.
Royal Rumble is right around the corner. Would love to see Nash in the ring again if there’s no risk for his well-being.

hey yo.... big kev love ya man,great podcast videos
Damn Xerox machine. Haha!
Konnian worked as max moon only for one or 2 matches until he said no thanks . Then Paul Dimond took over the roll of max moon.
Did he actually have a match. I swore he said no bueno when he saw the suit.
I wanted to see Dies on his back more in New York
1995 was not a kodak moment.
Drinking game alert drink every time Nash talks about the xerox machine
1st.
Love ya Kev! U and Scott were my role models and coolest guys I’ve ever witnessed!

At 21:20 Nash says Konnan didn’t work for WWE, but technically he did as Max Moon for a minute back in 1992.
That is true
Long live the doors!
Where is Sean's suit?
Popped it into the Asian dry cleaners for a good shmick 🤙🏽😎
18:28 That's most definitely what's up.
Bret, diesel and Shawn, the trinity of worse drawing champions of the 90s
Hogan leaving in 93. Effected wwf more than they probably realized it would.
I loved those days because all the real wrestling fans were watching. All the hogan casual dickriders disappeared.
93-98 was bad no matter who it was. Between hogan and attitude
@@adamcraig1468 97 was one of the best years in WWF history.
1:06 Dave Meltzer and a lot of negativity, coincidence?
I wonder if Big Sexi Sean Oliver has a Kannon story?
They had a bad year when Diesel was champ, but worse when Shawn was champ (lost 6.5 mil).
