  • 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?

    Mean Gene really had it. Could talk the talk as good as anyone, knew how to accentuate the good wrestlers or keep them on track during promos, able to guide (Sometimes carry) the lesser ones and had that great sportscaster voice that made everything feel more professional. And that's just in front of the camera.

      Sometimes we choose to remember folks like they were. Other times we're busy with work, taking care of our families, or just can't make it for whatever reason. Funerals aren't for the deceased anyways. They don't know you're there. It's for the relatives, friends, coworkers, girlfriends or boyfriends, etc. Unless a funeral is someone that is real close to me, I don't go to them either. It doesn't mean I love them any less.

    Mean Gene was incredible. I used to watch him Saturday Mornings on thie WWF show where he was the host and hed talk about all the things that had happened that week at house shows and live events, ppvs that were coming up, or what happened at a ppv that just happened the sunday before. Id wake up early every saturday to watch cartoons and then the wrestling show. It was awesome and im glad i got to experience the golden era of wrestling, even if it was the last gasp of it. Wrestling isnt the same anymore and we've lost so many of the guys and gals that made us fans of wrestling to begin with.
