- Kevin Nash, wrestling's six-time World Heavyweight Champion and twelve-time Tag Team Champion, is inviting YOU to become an insider in the most exclusive band of rebels in the Podcast sphere! Kevin and his crew grabbed the wrestling business by the sack in the 90s and never let go, making his Kliq the most powerful faction in the history of the business, both on camera and off. They spent countless hours together, riffing on the business, the lifestyle, and everything else under the sun, and this podcast is no exception. Kevin left wrestling and built a successful career as an actor and guest on dozens of talk shows. His opinionated nature has made him the most requested guest of shoot interviews and network shows for more than a decade. Now, Kevin and his frequent host Sean Oliver, bring you all that you loved about their shows in this weekly podcast. No guest or topic is off-limits. Are you sweeeeet enough.......to be the next member of the Kliq?

Sean is a really good interviewer. Very humble in that he doesn’t overplay his knowledge, but, asks in a way that a interviewee is willing to expand (he is not “off putting”). These two guys put on an excellent conversational interview.
Way better than Conrad
@@therealjcon Conrad is a wannabe know it all mark. He's a puttz
He's fantastic.
He's always had a way of making the people he's interviewing feel like they can be as candid/intimate with their stories and he did some really good stuff back in the youshoot days and had a loooot of interviews with Kev, Scott, and Sean Waltman in differing arrangements and numbers so its not too surprising Kev decided to have him be his interviewer but still very happy to Sean and Kev having these conversations
Absolutely, letting stories he knows the answers too flow naturally. And still calling back to details Nash may have forgotten. It's why Sean never seemed trashy in a world of trashy shoot interviewers.
Great podcast but boost Kevs mic volume to be more in line with Oliver's. We don't need him to speak more into the microphone because his voice is dynamic enough, just boost it a bit please.
Best wrestling podcast by a mile. Damn this is good. What a great combo. Absolutely can not wait for continuously more. Much luv all

Random question... who do you think did more for Hogan's career?... Vince Sr, Vince Jr, or Eric Bischof?
@@UCUSmusic Man thats a good one. I think it would be safe to say. If it wasnt for all 3 there would not still be people remembering HULKAMANIA
@@jakebush4749 true
@Google Hates Free Speech no?... huh
Kevin Nash has been a part of my childhood I used to watch this guy on Nitro religiously. Looking great keep it up.
Big Sexy
Mine too. Although I grew up on Kevin Nash but not Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
Kevin was always one of my favorites but it wasn't for his wrestling. Other than his finish which I still think is one of the best, it was always his mic skills and personality. Maybe I'm weird but I can like both. You can like the great personality/mic guys and also like the great workers.
It’s not weird . There is no set way or golden rule to get over . Some get over on their personality. Some get over because of their gimmick . Some get over because of their wrestling .the beauty of wrestling , their is no set way to do things . Different styles of wrestling , different ways of presenting your product , different ways of getting over.
@@robertlawrence4719 Lol yeah man, I was being semi hyperbolic and making fun of how people now days seem to feel like you have to go pick a side and hate the other guys.
I always felt I was a fan of wrestling not necessarily JUST TNT or WWE. I watched both every Monday/Tuesday (one or the other the next day).
You could say I Smelled What NWO was cooking or maybe I was DX 4Life or whatever. Or not lol
@@robertlawrence4719 I also feel it's okay to listen/watch both Jim Cornette Experience and Kliq This. They are both over with me!
Being a super tall guy that I am I'm six foot seven barefoot and with boots on I'm even taller it is not easy to wrestle being super tall I think he did a phenomenal job and if he wasn't good at wrestling why did he get in multiple inductions into the Hall of Fame reform the business as we know it with the NWO and the Attitude Era and one of my favorite Parts is when he gave Goldberg his first loss and took his title
Yeah nash had a devastating powerbom.
Good to see Sean doing his thing, great combo for the podcast. Curious to see how far they take this
You guys did it. #TheKliqTakeover, mission accomplished.🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
Only took nearly 30 years.

Kevin is the only guy on the planet that can use 7 fucks in a 13 word sentence and make it sound interesting
Just found out about this podcast. Great to hear stories and Kevin's opinions on things. Definitely one of my favorite podcasts.
7:25 "Thought I was gonna get a Dixie exclusive"
*Kevin smirks*
Love that part😂
Rumors for years, Nash hit
@@nickgwyn1225 Can't blame him tbh, she may have been clueless at promoting wrestling, but she was a hot older Southern Belle back then.
@@nick56677 plus she controlled pay roll lol Nash always knew how to get paid lol
@@nickgwyn1225 For real, Big Kev has always been ahead of the curve. It was a win/win situation
I don't see the smirk
love the perspective, going to go buy some shares
I met Kevin at an autograph signing in NJ back in the late 90's. He was one of the nicest and down to earth dudes. Spent about ten minutes just talking to me. This was at the height of his NWO fame too. I don't watch wrestling anymore at all. But I love hearing about stories from the greatest era Pro Wrestling will ever have.
Was this at the Evesham Mall? If so, I think Hall was there too....
I met him in the early 2000s and hes one of the biggest assholes i've ever met.
Great to hear he was a Lovely Guy. Was Scott hall with him and Xpac? I love it when wrestlers take time to talk to fans for a little while .
Raw will never move to fridays but I hope to everything that we go back to 2 hours.
no joke I wanna watch the whole thing....but I have to get up so damn early in the am to do PT. I need that hour extra of sleep LOL!
3 hours is too long and stars need to be rotated. It will keep storylines fresh and last longer.
From my Sophomore through my Senior year of High School I worked in the kitchen as a dishwasher in a high-end Retirement Community. I had a female boss who was maybe about 40 or 45 at the time. She was about a 4/10 and she only rated that high because she had really good hygiene. I used to service her pretty regularly at work (she had a small suite at the place as part of her compensation). I worked 40 hours a week at $7/hour but she adjusted my hours to make it seem I worked 60 hours a week so I got 20 hours of overtime each week. This was '98-'01. I did not mind the relationship with her but I joined the Air Force after I graduated and never saw her again. She never pressured or forced me to do anything. But from like day 1 of me working there she was making friendly/flirtatious comments to me every day. I was 16 initially so it took me a while to figure out why she was being so friendly with me.
Did this start like.... penthouse I never thought this would ever happen to me? 🤣🤣🤣
"My man"-- like how Denzel says it
Gross
Was it Mae Young or Moolah that you took care of ?
Kev showed major respect 💯
Kevin Nash thanks for the great memories man ❤
Worth tearing a quad to listen to this
Or two quads
KWAB
Could listen to Kevin story telling all day. Great fella
Listening to a lot of the interviews, I can honestly say Big Sexy / Kevin Nash has an excellent memory, how he's able to retain such knowledge is incredible.
im the same and its almost a condition that we have....either you have it or not
Total agree . I miss the attitude era as an adult I haven’t watched wrestling in 10 to 15 years because its like watching a soap opera on disney
Kevin is great. Always been cool as hell. Defined 90s wrestling along with many of his peers.
Kevin can u sort the sound out please big fella, thanks and good luck with the podcast, your getting sweet numbers.
Love the show can we get a lil more volume on the recording please?
This is a great pod
Sean asking 30:17 "What is Vince's weakness?" Uh I think we found that out, given he was forced to retire. Kevin's just a really cool dude in all these podcasts.
Kevin, thank you for your respectful words to Vince. You really are the man. 😉👍 💯
Love this, but Nash's audio needs to either be pumped up or he needs to put the mic in front of him more. Can't really hear him at times.
Are they doing the talk radio gimmick of turning the host's mic up? God I hate that.
Can you turn KEvin's microphone up? You guys are at two different levels.
Definitely agree that Paul Levesque will be a great creative force moving forward.
He was in creative way before this Nxt was his
2 years Rock owns it. This whole Vince crap is to give steph what she dreamed of before he sells. Nose also wants to give himself another 3 world titles.
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 No one is selling. Stephanie is Chairwoman AND Co-CEO. Plus Vince has 80% voting power.
The Crock doesn't have enough money to buy. Nor would they entertain the idea of it leaving the lineage of it being a family business.
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 "Nose wants to give himself another 3 titles"
Are you dense? Dude has a defibrillator stuck inside his chest. One match would probably kill him.
🤖 "We're Doomed" HHH would be doing comic cons in West Virginia selling selfies @ $5 a pop if he didn't snag the bosses daughter who was like 14 when he was playing that atrocious matador ..or was it an opera singer ? 🤔 😂
Kevin Nash, you know Vince well, did he ever discuss what to do if he was to die? I wonder if he wanted some sort of angle to be used? he seemed like the WWE was his entire life. I can't see him being ok with the way he went out.
He’s not and neither am I. Vince deserves a helluva lot more. He revolutionized the industry
@@jamesstewart8377 yeah? well when you act like a sex pest for decades, maybe you don't deserve that.
I love your podcast but can you up your mic volume for Kevin Nash?!
Either get Nashs volume up or turn your mic volume down Oliver!! Jesus Christ. The volume differences between you two is fucking terrible. I love the content but this is becoming unwatchable with you coming in loud as fuck because I had the volume cranked to hear Nash
I'm SO glad you said that bro. I thought i was the only one that noticed this
Yes! Turn up Nash!
He’s so true with the PG product . Kids these days and parents don’t care . They need to bump the product up to M
Bro. Have you looked on twitter. Being offended is likely to get WWE cancelled lol
They had already moved it back up to tv-14 earlier this year.
I once tweeted nash UT was playing bama and he responded Go Vols. Not the biggest thing ever but meant a lot to me.
Solid stuff always liked Nash seems like a chill dude
I love this! Nash is the man! I love his ideas!
Am I the only one who can barely hear this. I have to have my volume all the way up
The biggest heal turn in wrestling history was done by Hollywood hogan, in 96 bash at the beach, HBK wouldn't fit there at the time he was already a heal in wwe.
Hogan has always been considered a super hero a face of wrestling, so it made sense to turn him heal to be honest it was so cool.
Heel
26:14 Kev says "fuckin" 9 times in like 12 seconds lol
Vince laid belly down, ass up, across Karma's lap, screaming "bite me" because he doesn't care... When has Lucifer ever cared..
Love this podcast Sean and Kevin mesh perfectly together but say what you want about Vince McMahon imo was a great Busy man and pretty much out with the people want it
Sean makes a wonderful point about the power play at work.
bollocks ...that's actually offensive fo women , your pretty much stating that women can't say no to their boss
@@petechambers541 Grow up, Pete. If you're unaware of the structures of power at play, then you're worthless.
There were timing issues when the expenses were recognized I think they did some shady stuff so it wouldn't all hit in 1 QTR and everyone would be like WTF...
Kevin Nash is the best the best thing I love about Kevin’s stories is that they are all true they are backed up by others only the people that don’t like him tell totally different stories that are not accurate, it just amazes me on how many old ass men hate on him just because he figured out how to work the wrestling business in his favor you can’t hate on someone for that he knew how to play things in his favor and knew how to have fun while doing it my respects to Nash if It wasn’t for him and Scott hall smaller unknown wrestlers would still be working in handshake deals that’s why the older generation hate him because they had to work almost their whole careers on handshake deals and only the few like hogan and piper got guaranteed money Nash and Hall changed that most guys don’t realize that that’s why I respect and love Kevin Nash and Scott Hall Two of the best of their time I hope Kevin Nash will read this and if you do now that triple H is head of creative maybe the Wolfpac can make a comeback with new faces and managed by none other then Big Sexy 👍🏾
Some would say that he knew how to play the game
Say what you want but Vince developed Nash into a main event player, same for Hall and Austin and Hunter. They were going nowhere in wcw. Goes to show you that what you need the most is someone having confidence in you and not being afraid to give you the ball. Putting the title on Diesel was a major risk, and sometimes that's all the individual needs.
Vince's idea for Austin was The Ring Master, which flopped horribly. It was Austin's idea to become more of what he was and that's why he got hot. Triple H was still going nowhere in WWF, in fact, he didn't even get noticed until he was in DX, an idea of Shawn's. Also, he wouldn't be as big today if he hadn't had married Steph, let's be honest.
Diesel's title run nearly tanked the company also.
@@crystalwater505 You're not being "honest." HHH had heat as the Blueblood. It just was not a character he liked, nor saw as a lasting one to become a main eventer.
DX was not "Shawn's idea." All FIVE members of the Kliq wanted to live their real life group on TV. Vince kept saying no. Fast forward to Hall and Nash not only being pissed with their Creative, but cash too. So they leave. With the nwo they live out their bond as the outsiders. Hogan was irrelevant at that point, so leeched onto them to get hot again. After financial and ratings distress, Vince FINALLY allows Shawn and Hunter to do their backstage antics on TV through DX.
HHH always had a mind for the business. He was always the responsible and professional Kliq member Vince over time grew to like the most. He volunteered himself to Vince and Creative to pitch ideas for all talent, not just himself, long before Stephanie knew who he was. He absolutely would be a higher up whether he married Stephanie or not. And he already cemented himself as a legend before the nuptials.
It's a 2way street by the way. He can't force himself to marry Stephanie. She had to love him too.
No one becomes an all time wrestling star unless management takes the reigns off and let's them be themselves with the volume turned up. That's everyone. Not just Austin. HHH, Rock, Michaels, et al.
@@Speedyreedy1218 All that does is prove my point that Vince wasn't the mastermind of any of those successes.
@@crystalwater505 He was the facilitator.
Mankind though was 100% Vince's creation. He hated Cactus Jack and didn't want him on his program. So he came up with Mankind.
@@Speedyreedy1218 And for every Undertaker and Mankind we got 10 bad ideas like The Goon, Duke the Dumpster, etc.
26:00-26:59 to me this sounds like Kevin is saying, "yes i loved Shane, he brought the cool factor into the business, good kid etc but that's it, nothing beyond that"
It sounds to me like Kevin doesn't have high hopes for Shane being a chairman of the WWE. Judging by how Shane booked the Royal Rumble 2022, who could blame Nash for saying this?
There is nothing Kevin can say that won't be biased towards Vince. He's one of the boys. In no way is this not a horrible and disgraceful way for one of the all time television greats to go out. It's tragic. But hey, Vince was hands down one of the greatest on screen villains of all time so this is kind of fitting for him to go out a villain.
I'm sure it won't get any worse
Damn this a good duo
Some ppl say " ya know" every sentence
Nash says " Fuckin" every sentence hahaha
Last i checked im still 7 4”
7:27 dollars to donuts this was dixie lol.
hi guys, how do you ask Kevin Nash a question?
I'm still wondering how a person paid millions still snitched
She probably blew it all away.
Hey wait a minute...is this the guy from John wick ...the bouncer outside the club?
I watched a vlog this weekend and a guy looked and watched Kevin at his booth ; and didn’t approach him or say hey man I’m a huge fan and I can’t pay but I love you …
Nash is absolutely right, I stopped watching RAW after 20 plus years whenit switched to 3 hours.
EASILY the top 2 wrestling podcasts out there right now!!! I dont know who would take the number one but just naming them off, my top 2 favorite wrestling podcasts is Kliq This and DDP Snake Pit
They are both great, but have you listen to Mick Foleys podcast? It's amazing.
@@GameTime-yj6qv Ya i've watched one of his episodes. It's really good :)
Good luck bro
Needs more Horsecock Express. So stoked to watch this clip.
To borrow a phrase often used by two of my favorites, His Lordship Alfred Hayes and The Gorilla - who could have guessed the very thing that would put Vince down for the final three count would be the squared circle? Waka waka waka! 😕
What blows my mind about Nash is that in the 90s and 00s, he was the classic "boy" who used every trick in the book (WITH the book!) to bury everyone and get himself as over as he could, as dirty as he could. And it often wasn't best for business (see: The Streak ending, NWO 99, etc).
And he winds up mellowing out into one of the most level-headed, progressive, kind-hearted people of the wrestling community. Lol, I love the guy.
It was established long ago that he didnt have anything to do with ending goldbergs streak. Yeah he may not have spoke up against it but he didnt influence it either. Were talking about the company that did everything wrong. Its no surprise they did that too. And if the finish had been clean no one would care. Between the crap finish and the finger poke of doom the next night none of it made any sense and thats why he gets heat over it. But goldberg couldnt save wcw alone. They got what was coming.
Should be interesting how long before a company like Comcast or Netflix makes an offer to buy WWE?
Over for you bro
The idea people did not know Vince was having affairs is so funny to me its been an open secret for decades
That is true but the payouts were amazing.
Yeah affairs are one thing but when you're the CEO and it's employee's and millions in hush money comes out it's big news.
@@mulltothree4375 Yep,once you become a publicly traded company you have to be more careful about what you do. Of course Vince being Vince, he was always going to do as he pleases without any regard to the ramifications of his actions. But this time it bit him in the ass.
Bring back WHAT’S IN THE BAG!
The only thing that could beat this podcast is of Scott wasbalive and had his own!
Awesome show. I like the way you tell it like it is and fuck them if they don't like it. I remember seeing you just about every day when we lived in Daytona, and I worked security at a gate there and you drove on the property. Very cool guy.
I wonder what it would be like to have Paul Heyman as head of creative and Eric as the face while HHH runs things from the background with Steph.
I can only guess they revising because it would be taken out of his corp investment retirement or the capital gains tax if the money was taken out with the selling of stocks.my uneducated guess
I agree with you wasn't cause of his wrestling skills that is for sure
Diesel was my fav as a kid and i did like his tastles lmaooo
The company has to revise its books, indicating that the money apparently came from THEM. And now the DOJ and SEC is investigating it, so the money definitely came from the company in some way. THAT is illegal.
I heard somebody say that Vince paid the women from his own account. As part of his severance package the WWE would reimburse Vince the amount that he paid to the women. That is why they had to adjust their books.
It's Vince..he won't burn 1 bit for this shit...
Is it wrong to ask if Ashley Masarro was caught up in this? The years in question match up. Idk, not spreading rumors, just asking a question.
You probably won't read this shit but you're the best Kevin. Thanks for the show
Would love for Raw to go back to 2 hours but doubt WWE can afford to lose the extra hour of advertising
Perfect ending
It was all a dream 🎶🎵 word up magazines👏✌️
Props to christy hemme getting that 7.5 million dollar sack!! Lol
Nash is just dope, yo
U rock
A beautiful moment Vince should only be the talking person like he used to do in the early 90s and 80s
Pretty sure Vince did a good amount of booking and creative. Just because he wasn't "Mr. McMahan" the character, doesn't mean he wasn't a part of creative.
God damn pal
Kevin Nash seems like a real smart dude, in general...not specifically wrestling related.
We got the dreaded WcW split screen dynamic going on.
Saturday night live maybe
Vince McMahon is the man in wrestling vince McMahon made wrestling what is today
Diesel, waddupdoe
The respect towards Stephanie, Russo, and Bischoff is fairly vomit inducing. All three never should have been in the business, there's no talking around that.
No; it’s because the money initially came from company funds and Vince is going to pay them back. Nobody seems to be able to clearly read the report. That’s why they have to restate the financials.
28 min in is the money question and answer
Oh my God what ah CASE BRO
Nash is on point 👉. Vincent's company and Money, if he played and payed it's 💯 on him. Not to hurt WWE he left...end of problem
👊🏾👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾✊🏾
A lot of famous men make women sign papers. I heard a lot of rappers say they make them sign it before they enter the house because they scared of what the women might try to do
Kevin Nash should be part of the creative team now that hunter is in charge.
Of all the things nash could say for for Shane. He says he has a great shoe game and he’s cool lmao. Shanes knowledge of the business would be great.
Sean completely misquoted Jericho. lol.
Kevin Nash needs to be given a GOOD movie of his own. Him as The Russian in The Punisher, and his comedy skills in The Longest Yard(he was funnier than every fucking comedian in that movie, by a MILE) proves his worth.
Apparently this guy with his defacto power balance doesn't understand what HR literally exists to do
So of all the guys, Nash and waltman are friends still.
