So don't punch your teammates, pimp slap them instead...got it!! 😂🤣😂🤣 I love Kevin Nash!! 😂🤣
Nash: "its never ok to hit your coworkers. Never!"
Didnt you hit your coworkers multiple times?
Nash: "That's different, i was angry"
Basically
"strike/punch" versus "slap" he's not seeing them as the same because they're..well, not.
Do you know was assault is classified as in the state of Florida, my friend?@@squiddwizzard8850
They know what Nash was saying and the difference between Nash open hand smack Samoa Joe and Piper while CM Punk striked Jack Perry and Nick Jackson (allegedly) wit a closed fist, Nash is making a point that they were plenty of altercations backstage in the 80/90's but the boys would avoid punching you in the face out of respect and because the rest of the lockeroom would shun you (like the did The Mounty Bros)@@squiddwizzard8850
@@squiddwizzard8850An open handed slap is more disrespectful. It's making them look like a punk.
The most interesting thing about this podcast is learning how Kevin Nash never did anything wrong in his career, and whenever someone else does something wrong which he also did, how it still wasn't wrong when he did it. In his mid-60s with some major personal tragedies in the last few years, maybe that insecurity he tried to fill up with money his entire life might have been better served by some honest introspection.
Lol, okay Dr. Phil. 🙄
@@barryallen871 He ain't gonna blow ya, Barry but he does see that big $ over your head
Damn, 64! I mean, I kinda knew that, generally. But that reminded me of it.
All you are doing is making him more by watching his podcast 😂😂😂
@@samhoss553 I'm thinking about studying how brainlets got addicted to emojis
I never cared for Scott Hall or Kevin Nash after they left WWF... however, I admire their friendship and loyalty to one another.
Most men never get that.
Nash with the greatest mental gymnastics of all time. Brazenly explaining how smacking someone in the face without direct provocation, and then smacking them again without them responding at all is somehow better than a skirmish where both sides are engaging in a fight.
This dude is hilarious.
samoa was making the company look bad going to business for himself like Punk did, thats what hes saying and Punk on top of that got in a full brawl with talent. Nash settled it with Joe privately and Joe apologized
@@Slacker4Life3 LOL The asskissing you are doing is beyond normal dude
@@martifrey3357he’s on his knees but not behind Nash kissing butt, he’s on his knees in front of him 😂
@@Slacker4Life3 But Joe didn't go into business for himself. He did what his boss told him to do. Joe actually wasn't phased by Scott no showing.
@@Slacker4Life3yeah it was pretty straightforward. He smacked him in like a “smarten up” kind of way.
Kevin Nash has never done anything wrong. Dude's an open hand slapping monk.
Good one.
What?....he is.
@@jcbond.what do you think about the new guy cast as Bond
Kevin Nash would have an amazing career as a politician.
You misspelled 'pollutician'.
He did.
@@ec3076 haha , that's a great point.
He still has time....
Bingo 👍 rules for thee not for me
Asking Kevin Nash about backstage altercations involving him compared to other wrestlers is the equivalent of asking Rick James about grinding his feet on Eddie Murphy’s couch
Rick James admitted to grinding his feet in Eddie Murphy's couch.
@@PhillipCummingsUSAyeah... but he wouldn't have just started grinding his feet in eddie Murphys couch...
..... conversely, he does remember grinding his feet in eddie Murphys couch
I got a little bit more sense than that…. YEAH I remember GEERRRINNIN my feet on his couch.
Kevin Nash - hitting other wrestlers is bullshit, no place for it at all
Kevin Nash- paint brushes Roddy piper and then twice to Samoa Joe, also standing 6’10 and massive build then swings a bat at a couple other wrestlers directly over their heads…. Well I didn’t punch them so it’s not the same… he got alittle more sense than that
@@Floridaburg-different era crybaby
Nash still has heat with punk from 2011 🔥
“Kevin Nash, thought he was dead…OMG”. -CM Punks Sister
So let me get this straight. The guy who dressed up like Arn Anderson and called him a drunk got mad because of what somebody said in a promo?
Yup. He's a lousy hypocrite.
Kevin always gives his two cents. Right or wrong he knows deep down what’s up. Much respect
Idk if I can really respect Nash for a lot of his takes. He does not take accountability for his own shit either
Awesome vid. I remember the power clothesline from Starrcade 98. He absolutely leveled Goldburg.
I'd like to hear an admission from Nash that he held guys careers back. He's not alone in that Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold a bit and especially John Cena held guys back either because of a personal dislike or they felt threatened. That seems to be typical behavior for guys that are at the top of the card and want to remain there either outta ego or money or both. I like Nash and think he is one of the more honest and open guys in wrestling.
Your saying he held guys back then call him one of the most honest guys..bro make up your mind
Name 1 guy
Hogan, austin & cena can get a slight pass because at least they were drawing huge money, though I'm struggling on who austin held back....shawn was a great wrestler but a poor champion. Not naming triple h who is the mkst agregious is interesting. Not a draw in comparison nor the worker shawn was
It’s them backstage politics
@jonjohnson1978. Austin refused to work with Marc Mero after he saw Sable powebomb him. Although Mero really shot himself in the foot there. Triple H not jobbing to Booker T was egregious, but on the back hallf of his career he started to put guys over. Seth Rollins was elevated after beating Triple H. If I remember right, Shawn got the belt off Diesel in a time where the economy (94-96ish?) was in shambles. No one had any money to buy wrestling tickets, so I don't think it would have mattered who you had as champion. When he came back I think he was one of those guys that didn't need the belt like Undertaker to be over and a face of the company.
Kevin Nash: You never hit the T zone. But you can hit the side of the T zone. Thats ok😂😂
Yeah..with a working punch. It's not real mate😅
Roddy Piper repeated concussions had caused significant brain damage and lead to dementia. RIP
Piper had it coming...
You guys are great.
Love the show.
From the quad cities here thanks for the shout out big kev!
Barely related, but that reminds me of _Barbarian's_ praise of _The Rocker's_ work. Since they were good at double teaming, double drop-kicking, tripping from behind, etc. Being mindful of their advantages and disadvantages.. So he could sell their offense, and it didn't detract from his monster image.
Brignt 3.5
Nobody could have an altercation with Nash if they wanted to because he’d just go to Vince or Bischoff and get them fired.
Duh
Like he threatened to when Hardcore Holly put it on him, shit his pants
I love Piper but Kevin is right
@@alonzoharris608kev would eat Holly's food
@@alonzoharris608Bob Holly did what?! Haha
Kevin Nash still looks great!
I've heard all of these stories before, but hearing each one in long form is nice. I love the Nasty Boys one the best. "Nicely fucking played"
Got to disagree with Big Kev here, it sounds like he has an excuse for all his own attacks on coworkers yet can’t imagine Punk could have his own reasons for doing what he did
It's not so much about the reasons or justification for the incidents as it is about how the incidents are handled i.e. the golden rule was that if you end up in a fight you don't do something that would stop the other guy from being able to work. I've also heard this over the years from multiple wrestlers of that time, so it isn't something that can really be disagreed with - it was the way it was.
@@fuzzluvver69 A front facelock wasn't going to stop jungleboy from working, who had already worked.
Lmao seriously.
His reasons are valid. And so are Punk's.
@@maxxdahl6062Kev is saying the difference is a punch to the face is not supposed to happen, it had nothing to do with the headlock, if no punch had been thrown and it ended with just the headlock there would be no issue
Love u Nash, you're one of my all time faves. Could you drag a story out any longer? 😐
heard this before but its more informative on this one
Why the thumbnail with Undertaker for the title "altercation" lmao
Kevin a slap is much more embarrassing and emasculating than being punched. I understand if you punch someone they may die. But still a slap is like telling someone they are a bitch
Exactly! That was my 1st thought too, it's way more dissrespectful than a punch because a punch suggests somewhat of a first attack move in order to prevent a fight while a slap is like saying I can play around with you anyway I want.
Roddy pipper got pimp slapped
100% a slap is to basically say the recipient is a beotch.
That's why he did it
To show he's the Alpha male in the situation and to stop it
Instead of an all-out brawl
A slap can be very painful and knock down or knock out the receiver.
For the people claiming Nash is protecting himself here, acting like he never did anything wrong: He's a wrestler. For life. That doesn't just go away. Every wrestler, even well after their career, their gains and losses, injuries both physical and mental, introspection, etc., they will ALWAYS put themselves over whenever they can. That is just second nature to them.
He had 6 moves and was horrible
Fair point. Never heard a wrestler say they were in the wrong
@skgb75 HHH accepted his punishment for the Curtain call. He said "I made my bed. Gotta lie in it." He was pissed, but didn't blame Shawn. Took it on the chin and waited 3½ years to get elevated to top guy status.
For sure. I love this guy. My entire childhood, but definitely takes zero blame ever. Always a excuse or whatever. Old school Narcissists lol
To be fair he is drawing a distinction between having altercation that disrupts the program vs one that is not going to disrupt the program which is a fair distinction.
When you break the flow of the program screws everyone behind you
Why’s the last time stamp called the steiners lol
KEVIN IS BY FAR THE COOLIST WRESTLER I EVER MET TREATED ME WITH KINDNESS WHEN I GOT PICTURE TOOK WITH HIM IN ST RITAS ON ILLINOIS DOWN 2 EARTH GREAT MAN JUST 2 SWEET
You can say you don't punch your coworker and I get that, but whatever code there is in the back doesn't overrule the law. If someone shoves you, you have every right to defend yourself, punch or otherwise. I hope that's not what happened with the Punk altercation, because Punk would have a great case to sue. You can't punish people for exercising their right to self defense.
I agree. Whatever code they have is thrown out the door the second they put their hands on you.
arghhhh
There's the law and then there's Steve Blackman, pal.
@wauliepalnuts6134 anyone who messes with Blackman isn’t bright
Nash can explain away however he wants to but realistically in any other profession what he did with Joe would get him fired
Didn't Nashy slap his college basketball coach and got kicked out of college?
I'm sure that's a true story
Yep at Tennessee
-but it wasn't in the T-Zone.
Fun fact: Kevin was college teammates with NBA legend Dale Ellis.
Interesting
11:45 the steiners portion in the description was about nasty boyz
In Piper's defense he always started at full throttle.
i'm cracking up through this whole thing
_Kliq THIS_ - Your timestamp label has the section about _The Nasty Boys_ mislabeled as _Steiners._
The more of these I watch, the more sad I am for the way things used to be.
Kevin, please take care of yourself man.
I lol'd at the mention of Jericho VS Goldberg. 😂
Nash!!!💯💪👑
Kevin Nash is a legend. Outsiders/NWO was the pinnacle of pro wrestling.
So underrated what a grate champ best ever k n
What's he grating? Cheese? Is he the Cheese Grating Champ?
The final chapter is incorrectly labeled Steiners when it should be labeled Nasty Boyz.
I'll say something good about Nash, he killed it in the movie The Longest Yard. When the good guys swapped his steroids for hormones and he became very moody with sensitive nipples was absolutely hilarious. He and Bill Romanoski were great football villains!
"The good guys"😂😂😂 How's that Hollywood programming doing for ya?
@@edwells4769 I was referring to the good guys in the movie (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, etc). Maybe re-read my comment and try again.
Oh damn I didn’t realize that was him!
@@edwells4769so do you not know how movies work? In that story the cons were the good guys and the guards along with the warden were the ones being villains 😂 that’s how the script has it
Being an above average height person, who has lived enough decades on this Earth, I can appreciate Kevin's and Scott's positions. When you're physically bigger, people make assumptions and use those against you in ways that other people can't imagine. Scott seemed to be fairly level-headed about things; and he impacted Kevin quite a bit. They were somewhat of a Yin/Yang combination, helping each other grow.
Listening to Kevin now, I can understand where he's coming from. In some ways I was in similar situations to what he describes.
All I can say to those who say that Kevin acts like he can do no wrong, is that you need to walk a mile in our shoes. Nothing is as simple as that. You take far too much for granted.
💯🎯👍
Nash is the 💣 ❤
Who was he referring to when he was talking about "Joe"? Animal from the Road Warrirors? Not sure what year this was, probably after my time as a fan.
Samoa joe
@jeremybrownfield1025 Thank you! A bit after my time as a fan, but I know the name Samoa Joe thanks to Steiner math!
I would LOVE to see hear / more about the Taker, Bret, Diesel thimg!
Me too because the one thing I do not like about the wrestling community both on the wrestler side and the fans side is that there are certain wrestlers that it’s OK to hate and bring up bad things they’ve done but then you’ve got gatekeepers like Dave Melzer kind of pick and choose what stories they want. You’re never going to hear Dave say anything that would make Kevin look good. He’s not going to want to tell stories about how Brett Hart was being a Primadonna, and only thinking of himself.
It’s like after 30 years of shoot interviews it does feel like Brett is kind of full of himself, and has no problem with looking out for him and family members that were in the company but if the same thing was done to him or one of his family members Then he’s going to bitch about it.
I’ve heard the story about the undertaker, jumping up and yelling at bread because Brett had this idea that no one in the company should be able to do their finish to him in a match . If Nash or HBK said that it would be held over their head forever.
1:42 where is The Undertaker when you need them to just pop out of nowhere and be like stop
I like the stories Kevin Nash tells!
Badass
I was a big Diesel fan. When undertaker ripped through the ring in 1995 and pulled diesel under🤯🤯🤯 cage match vs Brett
“ I think it’s in the Lord’s Prayer “ open hand slap only.😅
I've already heard this before on one of there earlier podcast shows. Kev must be sick i hope he's getting better. Keep us updated Sean.
Pills
Watch live 😊
What about the fight between DDP and Scott Steiner
I don't think Nash saw the fight he did see the aftermath as both Kev and Scott are the ones saying let's get out of here and DDP was thinking if I leave now everyone's gonna think I'm a wimp and they said you stood up to Freakzilla no one thinks that.
He didn’t have a lot of offence” Kevin Nash lol love the guy, he had a plethora of moves himself 😂
Good shit5.0
Nash at the grocery store “I went to the butcher and he said he was out of pork chops so I open hand slapped him”
As a bjj practitioner, I also carry a gun everywhere. There is always someone more badass than you so you have to be prepared.
BJJ black belt here, same... Concealed carry.
Chris Jericho in one of his books said during a backstage fight Nash instigated, Nash sat in the corner like a giant praying mantis… and then kept referring to Kevin as “Nash Mantis” afterwards and I haven’t been able to not think of that every time I see Kev. 🤣🤣🤣
Nash is obviously super smart but I wouldn’t necessarily call him a historian of the business
Only kevin nash could describe what most men would believe to be the ultimate disrespect only bested by spitting in someones face but kevin nash convincingly describes it as mutual respect. Essentially a come back to reality. What the hells ur problem roddy?! Get it together. Damnit. He thwarted joes ego as a friend
I love Nash , but man there’s some serious double standards going on here. C’mon man.
First Instance punk was in his dressing room the “elite” cone busting in looking for trouble.
They found it.
Second .. jungle boy gets in his face he front face locked him.
So what? If Harley race did the sane thing , Nash would be telling the story like it was the greatest thing that ever happened.
EXACTLY. I don't know what Nash is trying to get at. Simply put, his situations were identical because he still put hands on somebody.
Random question: Anyone know the story with the rings behind the host? Lol
Why does it say stieners in the chapters? They werent even brought up
Would like to apologize Kevin for my comments a few weeks back, was going through some things. Anywho, thanks for show , urs and others gives me an escape. Keep pushing
You probably have a better chance of finding bigfoot than having Nash read your comments. It's not an insult, it's just a fact. Unless he knows you, he won't bother.
True. A dozen people probably read this.@@roadkillz78
Tony should have been like Bill Watts and put them in room together and let them fight it out.
Roddy was a trained amateur boxer and at his peak he could’ve probably pummeled Nash!
U gonna outbox a 7 footer that's 300 lbs of muscle
Uysk (6'3) beat the shit out of Tyson Fury (6'9). Skill beats size 9/10.
" i just swung a baseball bat 6 inches above someone's head.... but punk should've been fired and not me"
Wtf😂
I’m with ya. These excuses from Kevin are laughable
All you need to know about kev character is he slapped his coach from basketball
Now what about the Orndorf Vader fight he “saw.”
Kevin owes punk an apology
Sting still has the bat Kevin swung right above the Nasty Boys head in the back.
"jerry thinks he's in the right" added so much more respect to Hall
Wasn't Piper in his 50's at that point?
So when it’s an issue that Nash has, it’s cool to fight. Anyone else, it’s not cool and they need to be punished. Playing some lawyer ball.
He's a locker room lawyer for sure.
Quad Cities native here. I heard Moline and and went “huhhhh?!!!”
I’m always surprised by the amount of bigger celebs who are aware of the QC 😂 met a record/talent dude in Nashville a couple years back who knew all 6 of the cities off the top of their head! (No there’s not four and yes whoever you ask will give you different answers as to what those cities are)
Never heard of Moline or the 4/6 cities, is it similar to NYC and the Burroughs ?
What's up with the 7' CM Punk shirt 😅😂
You know what’s funny, Kev and and Scott Hall got into a major altercation with Bam Bam Bigelow
I love Kevin Nash's stories. That's all I have to say.
Fiction is always entertaining
In the mind's of many men a smack is more disrespectful than a punch. In the end both would start a fight.
“The fact I didn’t strike him” has me confused.
Yeah sure Kevin
Well nash looks good and healthy. Still all the memes of his weak knees give me a great chuckle
Nash is telling Piper and Flair how the match is going to go.
That lack of respect was probably what made Piper lose HIS temper and charge them. Piper, maybe was washed up, was a big draw in the 70s through 80s, way before Hall and Oates rolled in....just sayin' - could have been a tad more respect shown pre-match planning
What about the Steiner Bros. ?
Best interview ever
Dude. Do you know how many shoots you have saying otherwise ?
Think about how Nash looked in 97, 98....... And imagine that running towards you lol
Where I'm from a smack much worse much degrading much belittling than a punch, a punch says you're dealing on man time, a smack is saying you nothing 💯💯💯
Sittin there like a mantis...
The problem is The Elite kicked Punk’s door down looking for a fight when there supposed to be EVP’s of the company. If Tony Khan would be a boss Punk would still be in AEW. Imagine going to work everyday being badgered by children. Jungle Jack shoulda been fired as well. I mean he wanted to use real glass. You of all people Kevin know that’s a bad idea. Ask Goldberg. I think at some point Punk probably decided he had enough. Those guys didn’t want to do business and mend fences and do right by the company. Now look Punk is the biggest thing in Wrestling again while Jungle Jack is off TV and the Young Bucks gotta take time off cause no one cares if they’re in wrestling anymore. And there buddy Hangman was drinking Swerves blood. See a recurring theme.
Odd, I thought I just watched a new interview with Joe where he was told to go out there and say some stuff to stir up shit. He didn't do it on his own, he was told to do it.
It’s official.. Nash is taking chapters out of the book of Harley Race. I got maybe one and half good fights in me before I get my permit to carry
I couldn't watch. The lighting makes Hall look as though he's hanging upside down.😂😂😂
Oh naughty naughty kev not towing the dem party line by being pro gun tut tut
A smack to the face is actually worse than getting punched in the face 😂 thats waaaay more humiliating Nash is funny
I think he was there for ddp vs steiner
