EAchank according to who? There is a difference between holding on to the top as long as you can and intentionally holding someone down. So who did Hulk hold down? It was his idea to put the title on Goldberg.
@@cragerzz if it was hulk or Shawn or anyone else had have said “I won’t lose the belt to him and I can’t lose in my home country” they’d be the prick that won’t do business. But Bret hart gets treated like a victim.
@@troystaunton254 are you kidding? Shawn forfeited the belt TWICE before cause he didn’t want to lose or cause he “lost his smile” but he never gets flak for that. Also ric flair appeared on wwf with the wcw championship belt but he gets no flak for that but Bret refuses to lose BECAUSE HE HAD CREATIVE CONTROL OVER HIS CONTRACT and he gets vilified for it? Plus so many people have said they don’t Believe Bret would have ever went to wcw with the wwf belt including Kevin nash. Bret always gets blamed for the Montreal screw job only because Shawn is vinces ex lover and hhh’s best friend so they will always protect him. Lets talk about all the careers and lives that Shawn ruined back in his days? He’s one of the worst people ever.
Thats G-unit shirt with Flip phone lol Nash is thinking ahead this shoot video will be out there forever so he like let me where my Pow MiA shirt i remember they would where fubu shirts to the ring bc they wanted to stay up to date on what the kids think are cool lol
Ray Lewis Lewis black culture always popped. Muthafuckas never wanted to admit it (Vince etc) but Nash would always give it up. Hell where yall think 4 life (foe life) came from? It was mack 10! Hell Cena's whole gimmick was ripped off from the unit. Spinner belts based off of fif's spinning chain. You can't see me based off of yayo's dance which came from Redd foxx. Props to hall for that shirt though yell
Everyone can talk about Nash's lack of (admitted) wrestling ability or Scott's issues and unprofessionalism but their arrival in WCW and the formation and first year of the nWo is THE best wrestling angle of all time. Anyone who says otherwise didn't experience it as it happened and any wrestler who says it isn't is probably jealous. It went to absolute, unwatchable shit but May '96 to December '97 in WCW is still untouchable....and with the state the business is in, that's never going to change.
As someone who has (maybe even currently is)battling addiction, I am so fucking proud of Scott Hall!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy was knocking on deaths door and he completely turned everything around. And you better believe he has some AMAZING stories to tell. I just cant wait to hear them coming from a sober Scott Hall
Difference is kevin and taker was trying to make there story better it make sense and hart was not having it, hbk and nash only complained about wrestlers that could not wrestled or gimmicks that was stupid, like all the occupation gimmicks.
I don’t agree with Kevin here. At that time he had no right in calling a finish for a Bret Hart match. Especially since it would have made Bret seem so weak as the champion. How would it have looked for Bret to have been beat in two paper views in a row? Makes no sense. Bret was the champion. Imagine seeing two paper views in a row where hulk hogan would have been beat in both of them like how he wanted Bret to have been beat? Come on. It’s not an ego thing and I know Bret had an ego just like many other wrestlers back then but in this case I agree with Bret. Now if Vince would have recommended that finish then it’s a different story.
@@jmi84 Bret wasn’t getting beat because if he was then him and Shawn weren’t going to get the ppv, which was already planned. It was for it to look like Kevin got cheated out of the title because he was about to win but Taker got him. So revenge that would make their storyline better.
Thats why it was called the Kliq. I see your point because everyplace I ever worked had their own dick cliques. A group of people who somehow managed to shove their work on everyone else less than a decade in. The same people who constantly snitch on everyone else ( yet call the police if you tell them to meet them in a field across the street after they snitched on you & dicked you up on the job) yet somehow have deluded themselves into believing they should be paid more for doing less. I had the satisfaction of seeing regional management come in & reassign every one of the dick clique to either different departments & shifts. 2 quit in protest. good riddance.
Kevin Nash is very wrong about he should do his finisher on Hart. Because as mention in here. That would make Hart look very weak and what point to see Hart vs HBK 60 minutes?
For real he should not be making no excuse, just say you want to go for the money why you got to be blaming Bret Hart for everything the one he should be blaming is Vince McMahon he's always screwing people in the business.
Bret was right tho. Why would the champ take a finish on the ppv before mania when he’s going into mania as champ. The taker diesel storyline didnt need bret to take the finish.
Especially since he would go into WM with zero credibility as champion. How could he put Shawn over under those circumstances? The fans would shit all over it. Which they did.
@@mattysquizzato7094Not to mention the month before, Nash screwed Taker over. So Bret as champion had to go into Mania on the back of two fuck finishes? He had every right to stand his ground.
These guys are so "themselves" without any apology. It's easy to hate them. That's what made them great heels. They talk candid and make it sound like they pulled off a heist. I have grown some serious respect for these guys.
I've heard him say this so many times. Imagine this your Bret Hart the reigning WWE Champion. You are heading into Wrestlemania 12 for an Ironman Match with HBK in the main event. Imagine being asked to in back to back PPV's leading to Mania get laid out and left for beaten to build up someone else's program. Gee sounds like a great idea. How selfish of him not to go along with that genius booking. Never been a huge Hitman fan but I have always found it funny that Kevin thinks he's completely right on this.
Yeah I always think this story is BS anyways. But where I do give it props is that if the shoes were reversed Bret would be mad about how Kevin didn't want to put him over. That's always the Bret issue - he never wanted to put people over but thought everybody owed it to him.
Jawanna Man thats because in real life, he is a certified g. hell fight anybody and not a scared coward like some of these wussified wrestlers . dude shot a man in real life. ppl want to hate on the outsiders (not saying you) but i have followed hall since i was a child. i love hbk bc he was one of the best performers, but we was a baby and certified bitch back in the day. hall was the real deal outside the ring
Put McMahon in a room and ask him who made him more money Hall/Nash or Bret Hart. He would say Hart 100% of the time. Dude wrestled every night unless he was actually hurt. Nash had so many phantom injuries in WCW that lazy asshole never worked a year straight. Hall was a great worker but he was weak minded and couldn’t control himself so was a liability because he could only be pushed so far. WCW was gonna give him the strap and he got drunk on Nitro and threw up on live tv. These guys can act like they know everything but they was really riding Hogan’s coattails in WCW because the NWO would of never worked without Hogan turning heel.
The NWO would have totally worked without Hogan, as a matter of fact hogan would have never turned if he didn't see what they had was a million dollar idea. Hulkamania was starting to get boring and he knew it. He needed them more then they needed him, that's why when they split and it was black and white vs wolf Pac hogan black and white sucked and he had to jump ship, it was pathetic. If they were riding his coattails he should of been just fine without them and he was not.
More like they got lucky wrestling blew up like crazy right when they were hot and the idiots up top just threw cash thinking that gravy boat would keep grown and then you know the rest.
And to add to this, Scoot Hall is wearing a G-Unit shirt, G-Unit was a collection of hip hop/rap musicians headed up by a rapper called 50 cent. They parlayed their music careers into a clothing line, like many other rappers of the day tried to do.
These 2 really are amazing. Scott might be the best ever, life long heel, never wanted the spotlight, constantly upping everyone around him. Only one that even comes close to this is Taker.
So -- funny and true story: I was there the night the cops got really called on Monday Nitro; I was working for WDW resort at the (then) MGM Studios theme park. I was a ride host on 'Inside the Magic' -- the mini special effects tour; I walked folks through the ride, did a little gimmick at the beginning and end, and Bob's your dad's brother. But -- that summer, and prior to that -- WCW had been shooting wrestling there, and if you wanted a BIG bump in your paycheck and overtime -- and a backstage look at production being shot on site -- you could sign up to work park security and semi-PA for the producers/AD and whoever else asked you to do stuff. So I worked about half a dozen WCW Worldwides, and the inserts they'd shoot for Nitro and Saturday Night as security (though Turner guys were always there - I guess it was just a requirement of Disney to have WDW people there as well.) I also got to work the couple of Nitros they did out in the front patio/bus loading area. It was a blast - and wrestling was peaking again because of Hogan turning. Every night, it was easy to get a crowd for the Nitros - but the Worldwide crowds were just -- unbearable. Mick Foley talks about it in his book -- check that out. But basically it was 'whoever wants to see a show!' -- not necessarily 'who wants to see a WRESTLING show'. No merch was sold - or allowed to be sold - on Disney property; so any signs/merch at Worldwide in those years would be handed out to tourists as part of the 'preshow get 'em excited' deal, and so you'd have folks waving Four Horsemen foam four-fingered things, sitting across from floppy 'Hacksaw Duggan' two by fours -- and those wack white t-shirts with the purple WCW logo on them -- and occasionally (I had every single 'special' shirt they gave out) a STING or Ric Flair shirt or -- and this was killer -- a Hulkamania shirt. This was like the third or fourth Nitro I think? They have an opening match - and the broadcast has the Horsemen fighting Luger - when Jimmy Hart of the Dungeon of Doom runs out and begs the Horsemen for help. Cut to backstage, where Nash and Hall appear to have destroyed Arn Anderson and Scotty Riggs with bats, and then throw Rey into the trailer like a dart. I'm IN THE CROWD at that point, sneaking in to catch the show, trying not to be seen on camera because we weren't supposed to get tickets for these events ESPECIALLY given the lack of seating for tourists who WANTED to be there. Then, I hear my buddy tell me to get backstage - and I run back there; the 'attack' took place in a side street for food deliveries where the production vehicles and satellite trucks were set up next to Tower of Terror. My buddy Chris and John were on the radios saying that Orange County Sheriff's had been in contact with Reedy Creek (the Disney Police -- no lie -- Disney has a Secret Police Force) about a gang fight on the premises, and were asserting jurisdiction for that level of crime. I got to hear the frantic 'It's just a show! Turn on the TV!' type argument over the walkies we had; I throw on my godawful yellow costume shirt for 'security' -- (Production was around the corner from the primary locker/cleaning and central Disney offices as well) -- and I caught the aftermath of what was going on. Two ambulances from ORMC got sent, but Reedy Creek already took the 'victims' to the 'hospital'. Cops show up, warily, and meanwhile -- NOTHING is happening out in the ring -- just chants of 'BULLSHIT' and 'BORING' -- the folks unaware they were missing history. Checking it out on the Network, I'm visible once or twice in the crowd, but I'm leaving the area as Chris is telling me to come backstage. Always been a fan of Hall and Nash -- basically because for ONE NIGHT -- Wrestling was real to EVERYBODY, dammit. :D
These guys have more fun stories than the entire current roster combined. No wonder, Razor was my favorite. I was 8 yr old when I watched my first WWF match, and it was Razor vs someone whom I don't remember, lol. At those times, here in India, matches were telecast like 2-3 weeks after they were taped. Most times ppl rented VCRs to watch WWF Superstars episodes.
Still one of the all time greatest Monday Nitro moments. Nash catching Rey, and tossing him into the trailer wall. Larry Zbyszko yelling,"He threw him like he was a dart!" ruclips.net/video/gdu__J8jTnI/видео.html We were screaming that across the shop floor at work Tuesday morning.
@@Mr_Clean Yep, the only time a Wrestler was on both shows simultaneously. RAW taped every other week, while NITRO was Live every week. Rude may have been one of the last guys to NOT have to SIGN a No Compete Agreement.
There was a little buzz kinda getting me back, but that Mysterio bump is what got me back into wrestling. That cold open of the show with these two guys just "invading" another company and destroying people "for real" was great television and I was all in after that.
Jonathan Oosthuis but how would you even think of that in the first place? If you'd never thought you'd see it doesn't that mean you had the thought of it already in your mind before you first saw it?
It’s funny how Kevin in several shoot interviews he calls his match at Mania 12 with Taker a “co-main event” He and Taker had a great match but it was never promoted or sold as a “co-main event” any time by the company.
@@Lord_Bibulous I realize that. Once again though, go back to all the build-up on the Raw and Superstars episodes, or even the day of the PPV, never once do you hear it being pushed as a double main event. At least not like it was at Wrestlemania 8.
I remember watching that show where Scott first showed up. Was a WCW fan long before the NWO was created. I remember thinking WTF is Razor doing there, thinking he was WWF, then uttering that iconic line. One of the greatest moments in wrestling tv.
WCW was great for wrestling overall....... u had the split of old guard to allow the WWE to do the attitude era with Rock and Austin etc...... it's a very strange chemistry how that played out....... never to be replicated again.
Did anybody else notice Kevin Nash saying Eric came to my 'crib' around 4:20? That's why he's my #1 fav wrestler of all time because he's just chill AF
I grew up in middle school watching these guys and it felt real for sure. I remember going to school on Tuesday and everyone was talking about what happened on nitro the night before. True legends, RIP to the bad guy.
It would be a great idea for the reigning champion to get humiliated twice in a row leading into wrestlemania to get people over in an angle he isn’t directly involved in! ESPECIALLY when one of those guys (who’s even had a run as champ) will leave the company at the drop of a hat if he doesn’t get his way once….
I see both guys logic on the issue, Bret being a wrestling lifer and how important he took the being a champion thing though (screwjob included, not wanting to drop the title before Survivor Series 1997, for example, after being billed as champion) his approach was probably best. and as noted in another comment, that elevated HBK's win too, the very top guy in the company.
Bret took a tombstone from the Undertaker not long before that match. Diesel was still under Shawn at this point. Having Bret take the tombstone, then take the jack knife from Diesel who was under Shawn would diminish the buildup for Shawn vs Bret that was coming at WM12.
I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit. I'm heard several versions of Nash's "call Bishoff" story or stories. Some take place in the locker room, some in the shower and some in a motel. Now down by ringside.
Neeta Song there's video where they call Bret the "400 thousand dollar champion." Where both Hall and Nash both claim that Bret was happy making only 400k per year as long as he won. Well the problem with that bullshit story is it's very well documented that Bret was the very first Superstar in the WWE (WWF at the time.) to be signed to a million dollar contract. In fact because of that contract and Vince not being able to pay it is what eventually would lead to the events surrounding the Montreal Screwjob.
Bret didn't sign the 20 year, million dollar contract until late 1996 after being gone for at least half a year and 100% after Hall and Nash were both already gone. So, it's not bullshit. Even if he was making more than 400k from late '92-early '96, it sure as hell wasn't a million.
Everybody involved has changed the story multiple times. It's the main reasons other wrestlers say it's a work. If you look at Bret's history...his father, being involved in the business all his life, and how he takes the business more serious than ANYONE...for him to go against the number one rule of "Do what you're told, when you're told." doesn't make any sense. Plus, Vince's insistence on making sure Bret was allowed to attack him. When you combine the whole story it really does start to come off as a work. It was the end of a year long angle of Bret accusing Vince of always screwing him (they let him say "goddamn" and "bullshit" on Raw in 1997 while "shooting" on him, ffs)...then turning heel...and starting to publicly trash Shawn and Vince...Vince at one point encourages Bret to go to WCW because of the money but then "screws" him...the "Bret Screwed Bret" interview where he made sure you could see his black eye a week later...the perfectly timed "Wrestling With Shadows" doc, etc...It probably seems impossible to be a work to some until you remember what they do for a living. They are masters at making people believe something that isn't real IS real.
Nash settled on his reason for leaving because he can sound like the victim. Hello Kev you were in The Kliq and you guys were running the place. He and Hall are entertaining guys but they were greedy and political as Hell.
Its actually more like Kevin saying Bret caused him to leave Scott had actually started to say he liked the angle he said it was cool then Kevin cuts him off. And tbh the best thing he couldve done is gone to wcw imo he wasnt that great as champ and his matches where boring except for his matches with Bret & hbk or the times he was in a royal rumble he could pull off that monster tossing everybody out pretty good but I always thought Scott > Kevin sucks he had those demons I could see him as champ.
I think the point was that Nash felt he should stick Bret with a powerbomb before Taker grabbed him, so that it was obvious that Diesel was going to win the match and Taker cost him the title. (And he's right.) The way they ended up doing it, you could argue that Taker just spoiled the match and you didn't know who was going to win the Bret/Diesel match anyway. Not a huge Nash fan, but he's 100% right here. If this story is accurate, Bret needed to chill out and let them tell the story better.
Early in his WWE tenure as "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, Nash, a wrestler of average skills at best, befriended Shawn Michaels who had Vince McMahon's ear at the time backstage. Later in WCW, he was closely aligned with Hogan and Bischoff and somehow managed to parlay those relationships into the job as a booker. Later, when he went to TNA, he befriended Jeff Jarrett who's father owned the promotion. Nash's problem wasn't that he was a good networker, but rather that he used his backstage stroke to not only push his own career but also to hold down wrestlers who he felt were not at his level (and ironically almost all of the guys in question from Chris Jericho, to Bret Hart, to A.J. Styles were vastly superior wrestlers to Nash). For those who believe that the ability to act cool and cut a good promo is what makes a wrestler truly great Nash, might have a case. However, he was a pitiful wrestler, and even where he was strong (charisma and mic skills) he was still always overshadowed by the likes of HBK, Triple H, Scott Hall, and Hogan
Imo, a good wrestling show has a balanced card. I don't wanna see high flyers every match, nor do I wanna see big guys every match 🤷 Nash and Hall brought something to the table that most guys couldn't: charisma. People were cheering for Kofi Vs Bryan, and that shit was the most boring main event I have ever layed eyes on. It only went down so well because the fans were *invested* in the storyline. Neither Kofi, Daniel Bryan or PG WWE is to my taste, so for me, the whole thing sucked ass, but my point is that guys like Nash and Hall are what made wrestling into the party atmosphere it became. *I'd tune in to WWE if it had personalities like Nash and Hall still*
TrashCanDatNoOb Wut I like this post but I respectfully disagree with the party aspect (you didn’t like DB/Kofi, I did but to each it’s own), Vince was the first to that with the early Wrestlemanias with the connection with MTV and celebrity involvements like Mr. T, etc.
TrashCanDatNoOb Wut and that’s what it’s all about. People try to make it seem like Professional wrestling is real lol. People come to watch wwe/wcw for entertainment that’s it. That’s why the ratings blew up back in the day. Stone cold and the rock is two of the most well known professionals wrestlers of all time not cause of their wrestling but because of their charisma and how they had the audience in the palm of their hand. Also I might add these wrestlers are today are better wrestlers than the wrestlers from back in the day but that doesn’t mean shit if they don’t have no type of charisma. Ratings suck because of all these damn vanilla midgets on tv.
Obviously didn’t watch WCW back in the day if you think he purely made it due to who he knew. He was one of the most over guys in the business & regularly got the biggest pops of the night. History revisionists really helped skew reality for you. The nWo’s heart & soul was Scotty & Big Sexy.
You may question his wrestling abilities but with Nash and Hall leaving it changed the wrestling dynamics in many ways. It forced the WWE to actually pay their staff and wrestlers a decent wage as they were not the controlling monopoly anymore. They were apart of the biggest movement that pushed WCW and WWF at the time the NWO BROTHERRRRRRRR then the attitude ara and DX and the NWO back. So he did play a part in making wrestling history.
This is why the territories worked IMO. Popular guys switching promotions, taking spots or time from other established guys that were in place. Nash and Hall get it to a certain degree I think. Oh and that Rey Mysterio lawn dart by Nash into the trailer was epic.
Really? You might be too young to know this but Nash and Hall were 2 of the most OVER wrestlers of all time. Wether it was as razor and diesel or the outsiders them boys sold out every arena in this country!
@@brfuzz5600 Yeah i know they were over. I just find it hard to believe anyone would pay Kevin Nash to wrestle. Have you seen him wrestle? Its awful. Ive been watching since the 80s
Would you say the same about Andre the Giant? Nobody paid to see him wrestle. It was the spectacle. It takes more to get over in wrestling than doing moves. If this were true and the best "wrestlers" made the most money and were selling out arenas guys like Dean Malenko would be the best ever.
Ive been listening to Bretts interviews over the years and he portrays everyone as demons including Nash. After listening to Nash Brett just appears a self righteous spoilt kid!
They were young Bret saw during their younger days when they were bullies and smacking old wrestlers around . Bret probably The only one who stood up to them
Yeah they really could have even had it so that Bret saw Taker first and got distracted. Then right after the powerbomb Taker gets in and screws the match. There, both guys look strong
Bret didn't want to have the title saved by interference again, didnt want to look weak heading into Mania Especially since he was dropping the belt to Shawn Michaels
@Douglas Taggart Still, in my opinion there would always have been an "if" that people would wonder. If Diesel did the Power Bomb maybe Bret would of gotten out of it or kicked out. That's how I would've pitched it.. but he really wasn't being a better team player
Nash is the Best Shoot interview... but he tripped himself up on this one... You left cause of Brett... But then invited him to come to the place you left him to go to? Did you leave cause Brett? Or cause the money and Brett was crutch you used to do what you already wanted to do? 🤔
Douglas Taggart Same with Shane Douglas. In fact everyone says once Kev was away from Scott and Shawn, he was a great person. Douglas even stayed he saw Shawn bully Kevin into being an asshole towards Carl Oulet
He doesn't hold grudges, he's not the type to hold someone back because of things they might've done to him. He's a hero he's an american hero jackass.
@Douglas Taggart there is more to Brett not being greedy. But Brett also pushed and got a 20 year large contract that Vince claimed he couldnt afford in the end.
Hall should have gotten that strap. I've re watched a lot of those mid 90's Nitros. Hogan was embarrassingly past his prime at this point. Hall was absolutely on top of his game while Hogan was doing those terrible seemingly hour long pose downs with Bischoff.
It's funny that Nash left because Bret wouldn't let him get over. Pretty sure a lot of talent left WCW cause they got buried by Nash. Jericho comes to mind.
Then we would of not had the NWO change over and the attitude area and most wrestlers were still not on contract getting decent deals. They may of left for themselves but it forced the WWE to actually pay their people and take some accountability. Like it or hate it they changed wrestling.
Rest In Peace Scott Hall. Greatest kilq member. Not even close. My favorite member of them. Thank you so much for everything. Kevin, stop lying. You left wwf for the money and less days. Nothing wrong with that. The greatest of all time Bret Hart had nothing to do with that. He gave you your greatest matches ever. Stop just be thankful for what Bret did for you. Unlike your boy er I mean Vince's boy toy
Mark Calaway is THE ultimate company man and even he thought Bret was being incredibly selfish, so it's unfair to blame Nash in this case. Hart was one of those wrestlers who could be just as self-absorbed as any Kliq member, but tried to hide it behind a veneer of 'tradition' and 'respect for the business'. Treating kayfabe ring results as legitimate wins and losses is about as pretentious as it gets.
Agreed. Bret is just as manipulative and pouty as The Kliq, only the Kliq dudes admit their own wrongdoings while Bret points fingers at people for his own faults. Guys like Nash and Hall will always have a future in the WWE as legends while Bret fades into irrelevance just like Scott Steiner, Ultimate Warrior, Miss Elizabeth, Lex Luger and Ron Simmons are now.
@@FilipoSooaUlufale Bret Hart is respected by the majority of the wrestling business while Nash has all ways been called out for what he was: a backstabbing manipulative asshole who buried others to get ahead. Bret has a legit point of not liking how he was booked in those PPVs before Mania 12, he was the champ and the build was supposed to make him and HBK look strong coming into their Ironman match, not look like a total chump. Sure Nash helped create the NWO angle which is historic but don’t forget, Bret was the one who put Austin over, who would help create the Attitude era, so this talk about Bret “fading out” like those other names you mentioned is beyond idiotic.
This is why no one likes Nash. Because during his whole career Bret tried to get ahead and at every turn someone else wanted to become a star at his expense regardless of how it made him look. When Bret has his own program and someone is trying to derail his momentum before he does it then it is about him.
Kevin's entire career has been nothing but clips and backstage manipulation as stated by Eric Bischoff in a TNA segment. Atleast, Hall was a good wrestler.
regardless of the subjects they're talking about i'm so happy to see Hall this clean and healthy... and Nash is such a smooth talker and is such a smart guy... he actually makes you believe that everything he says it's true...

The 80's Wolf Bischoff admitted he copied the nWo angle from Japan.
As someone who has (maybe even currently is)battling addiction, I am so fucking proud of Scott Hall!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy was knocking on deaths door and he completely turned everything around. And you better believe he has some AMAZING stories to tell. I just cant wait to hear them coming from a sober Scott Hall
❤️❤️❤️😞
Amen!@ you John, you are also a classy person!! Thumbs 👍 👍 up to you! Have a great day and God Bless you! To you and your whole family and friends!!
DDP added a decade to his life. Thank God Scott went to him for help.
Ant proof for what you said dude?
@@KevinSorbo. that's an interesting take.
So Kevin leaves because of Bret complaining, but conveniently forgets how many people him and Shawn complained to Vince about...seems legit.
Difference is kevin and taker was trying to make there story better it make sense and hart was not having it, hbk and nash only complained about wrestlers that could not wrestled or gimmicks that was stupid, like all the occupation gimmicks.
I don’t agree with Kevin here. At that time he had no right in calling a finish for a Bret Hart match. Especially since it would have made Bret seem so weak as the champion. How would it have looked for Bret to have been beat in two paper views in a row? Makes no sense. Bret was the champion. Imagine seeing two paper views in a row where hulk hogan would have been beat in both of them like how he wanted Bret to have been beat? Come on. It’s not an ego thing and I know Bret had an ego just like many other wrestlers back then but in this case I agree with Bret. Now if Vince would have recommended that finish then it’s a different story.
@@jmi84 Bret wasn’t getting beat because if he was then him and Shawn weren’t going to get the ppv, which was already planned. It was for it to look like Kevin got cheated out of the title because he was about to win but Taker got him. So revenge that would make their storyline better.
Thats why it was called the Kliq. I see your point because everyplace I ever worked had their own dick cliques. A group of people who somehow managed to shove their work on everyone else less than a decade in. The same people who constantly snitch on everyone else ( yet call the police if you tell them to meet them in a field across the street after they snitched on you & dicked you up on the job) yet somehow have deluded themselves into believing they should be paid more for doing less. I had the satisfaction of seeing regional management come in & reassign every one of the dick clique to either different departments & shifts. 2 quit in protest. good riddance.
Kevin Nash is very wrong about he should do his finisher on Hart. Because as mention in here. That would make Hart look very weak and what point to see Hart vs HBK 60 minutes?
Bret didn’t push Nash out, Kevin took advantage of a company (wCw) that was clueless and was desperate to beat WWF.
@JV Harbin Nearly, until they became cancerous with hogan and stopped talent and matches coming through in 1998.
@TheVolourn Not from 1998 onwards.
Nash went where the money was. Period. No need to make excuses.
Joseph Johnroe he’s a smart man
I don't think he ever made excuses just more reasons why to leave, he made it clear the money was a big reason.
If another job offered you double the money, half the work, what would u say? Anybody would take it
and less work
For real he should not be making no excuse, just say you want to go for the money why you got to be blaming Bret Hart for everything the one he should be blaming is Vince McMahon he's always screwing people in the business.
Bret was right tho. Why would the champ take a finish on the ppv before mania when he’s going into mania as champ. The taker diesel storyline didnt need bret to take the finish.
Especially since he would go into WM with zero credibility as champion. How could he put Shawn over under those circumstances? The fans would shit all over it. Which they did.
@@mattysquizzato7094Not to mention the month before, Nash screwed Taker over. So Bret as champion had to go into Mania on the back of two fuck finishes? He had every right to stand his ground.
@@dane21dc Yep. He's not the "whiner" he's made out to be.
The moment of shared admiration for Rey Mysterio was a nice touch.
Bret hart gave this guy his only decent matches
The match he's talking about at mania 12 versus the undertaker was pretty good too but I agree his best match by far is with Bret Hart
I disagree, I’ve liked his matches against HHH, Rey Mysterio, Goldberg, Sid, Booker T, Sting, Steiners, Jericho....
The list goes on.
His best match was the one with HBK at the Good Friends, Better Enemies PPV after WM 12.
@@SRPC21 Nash/Diesel vs. Sid sounds like the bore fest of the century lmao
@@EnigmaticAnamoly nah man, it was very dope
These guys are so "themselves" without any apology. It's easy to hate them. That's what made them great heels. They talk candid and make it sound like they pulled off a heist. I have grown some serious respect for these guys.
It’s easy to like them too, it’s why they were so over in the 90s.
Unlike biter Bret.
@@al112v4you’re going to offend someone with talk like that lol
Kevin Nash did a pretty good impression of Shawn Michaels.
A great impression of Bret as well.
I've heard him say this so many times. Imagine this your Bret Hart the reigning WWE Champion. You are heading into Wrestlemania 12 for an Ironman Match with HBK in the main event. Imagine being asked to in back to back PPV's leading to Mania get laid out and left for beaten to build up someone else's program. Gee sounds like a great idea. How selfish of him not to go along with that genius booking. Never been a huge Hitman fan but I have always found it funny that Kevin thinks he's completely right on this.
Yeah I always think this story is BS anyways. But where I do give it props is that if the shoes were reversed Bret would be mad about how Kevin didn't want to put him over. That's always the Bret issue - he never wanted to put people over but thought everybody owed it to him.
@@Matt-cr4vv that's bollocks buddy. Bret put over plenty.
Diesel real first title defense was bret at the Royal rumble which ended in a draw so nash always had that in the back of his mind

I think he bought them in bulk . I seen him wear many G Unit shirts.
Well they were comfortable as hell lol
Jawanna Man thats because in real life, he is a certified g. hell fight anybody and not a scared coward like some of these wussified wrestlers . dude shot a man in real life. ppl want to hate on the outsiders (not saying you) but i have followed hall since i was a child. i love hbk bc he was one of the best performers, but we was a baby and certified bitch back in the day. hall was the real deal outside the ring
Freemasonry
Still love watching Kev play darts with Mysterio. Definitely a classic.
Put McMahon in a room and ask him who made him more money Hall/Nash or Bret Hart. He would say Hart 100% of the time. Dude wrestled every night unless he was actually hurt. Nash had so many phantom injuries in WCW that lazy asshole never worked a year straight. Hall was a great worker but he was weak minded and couldn’t control himself so was a liability because he could only be pushed so far. WCW was gonna give him the strap and he got drunk on Nitro and threw up on live tv. These guys can act like they know everything but they was really riding Hogan’s coattails in WCW because the NWO would of never worked without Hogan turning heel.
That puke was gimmicked. *facepalm*
@@BigEvan96 he must think wrestling is real😂🤣😂🤣.
The NWO would have totally worked without Hogan, as a matter of fact hogan would have never turned if he didn't see what they had was a million dollar idea. Hulkamania was starting to get boring and he knew it. He needed them more then they needed him, that's why when they split and it was black and white vs wolf Pac hogan black and white sucked and he had to jump ship, it was pathetic. If they were riding his coattails he should of been just fine without them and he was not.
Shiver nope your wrong
Chad Willett it is fagatoe
its nice to see Scott hall doing well. he looks great
This hasn't aged well.
These interviews are golden, thank you
The match that Nash w. Shawn Michaels & Hall had for the WWF intercontinental title hooked me.
Rest in Peace, Scott Hall
"Kev, this is what I'm getting...if you come in, try to get more...get more!" - This just sums up these two perfectly.
Wrestle for 25 years incur injury after injury and you are dam right I want my god dam money.
Lol if you were Scott Hall and had that deal you’d do the same thing. Lmao
Say what you want about these two, but they knew how to make money.
More like they got lucky wrestling blew up like crazy right when they were hot and the idiots up top just threw cash thinking that gravy boat would keep grown and then you know the rest.
anyone notice Razor's Razer LMAO
People of the future, that was a phone Hall pulled out of his pocket
And to add to this, Scoot Hall is wearing a G-Unit shirt, G-Unit was a collection of hip hop/rap musicians headed up by a rapper called 50 cent. They parlayed their music careers into a clothing line, like many other rappers of the day tried to do.
@Abe Lincoln Jr. 90's was the absolute best decade ;)
@@HeyYo8 built a time machine and take me back to the 90s
These 2 really are amazing. Scott might be the best ever, life long heel, never wanted the spotlight, constantly upping everyone around him. Only one that even comes close to this is Taker.
Is Scott Hall really wearing a
G-Unit shirt 😂😂😂
Sure is 🤣
So -- funny and true story: I was there the night the cops got really called on Monday Nitro; I was working for WDW resort at the (then) MGM Studios theme park. I was a ride host on 'Inside the Magic' -- the mini special effects tour; I walked folks through the ride, did a little gimmick at the beginning and end, and Bob's your dad's brother.
But -- that summer, and prior to that -- WCW had been shooting wrestling there, and if you wanted a BIG bump in your paycheck and overtime -- and a backstage look at production being shot on site -- you could sign up to work park security and semi-PA for the producers/AD and whoever else asked you to do stuff.
So I worked about half a dozen WCW Worldwides, and the inserts they'd shoot for Nitro and Saturday Night as security (though Turner guys were always there - I guess it was just a requirement of Disney to have WDW people there as well.)
I also got to work the couple of Nitros they did out in the front patio/bus loading area. It was a blast - and wrestling was peaking again because of Hogan turning. Every night, it was easy to get a crowd for the Nitros - but the Worldwide crowds were just -- unbearable. Mick Foley talks about it in his book -- check that out. But basically it was 'whoever wants to see a show!' -- not necessarily 'who wants to see a WRESTLING show'.
No merch was sold - or allowed to be sold - on Disney property; so any signs/merch at Worldwide in those years would be handed out to tourists as part of the 'preshow get 'em excited' deal, and so you'd have folks waving Four Horsemen foam four-fingered things, sitting across from floppy 'Hacksaw Duggan' two by fours -- and those wack white t-shirts with the purple WCW logo on them -- and occasionally (I had every single 'special' shirt they gave out) a STING or Ric Flair shirt or -- and this was killer -- a Hulkamania shirt.
This was like the third or fourth Nitro I think? They have an opening match - and the broadcast has the Horsemen fighting Luger - when Jimmy Hart of the Dungeon of Doom runs out and begs the Horsemen for help. Cut to backstage, where Nash and Hall appear to have destroyed Arn Anderson and Scotty Riggs with bats, and then throw Rey into the trailer like a dart.
I'm IN THE CROWD at that point, sneaking in to catch the show, trying not to be seen on camera because we weren't supposed to get tickets for these events ESPECIALLY given the lack of seating for tourists who WANTED to be there. Then, I hear my buddy tell me to get backstage - and I run back there; the 'attack' took place in a side street for food deliveries where the production vehicles and satellite trucks were set up next to Tower of Terror. My buddy Chris and John were on the radios saying that Orange County Sheriff's had been in contact with Reedy Creek (the Disney Police -- no lie -- Disney has a Secret Police Force) about a gang fight on the premises, and were asserting jurisdiction for that level of crime.
I got to hear the frantic 'It's just a show! Turn on the TV!' type argument over the walkies we had; I throw on my godawful yellow costume shirt for 'security' -- (Production was around the corner from the primary locker/cleaning and central Disney offices as well) -- and I caught the aftermath of what was going on. Two ambulances from ORMC got sent, but Reedy Creek already took the 'victims' to the 'hospital'. Cops show up, warily, and meanwhile -- NOTHING is happening out in the ring -- just chants of 'BULLSHIT' and 'BORING' -- the folks unaware they were missing history.
Checking it out on the Network, I'm visible once or twice in the crowd, but I'm leaving the area as Chris is telling me to come backstage. Always been a fan of Hall and Nash -- basically because for ONE NIGHT -- Wrestling was real to EVERYBODY, dammit. :D
they should be in the Hall of Fame as a Tag Team.
matthew reeves why?
@@kingrama27 Both his quads should be in the Hall of Fame as a tag team.
Sleep easy Scott. Nice that we have so much of their friendship on film we can watch and enjoy forever
These guys have more fun stories than the entire current roster combined. No wonder, Razor was my favorite. I was 8 yr old when I watched my first WWF match, and it was Razor vs someone whom I don't remember, lol. At those times, here in India, matches were telecast like 2-3 weeks after they were taped. Most times ppl rented VCRs to watch WWF Superstars episodes.
1:22 "what's in it for me what's in it for me?" lol. nash is so funny. i love these shoot interviews. Rest in Peace Scott Hall!
Still one of the all time greatest Monday Nitro moments. Nash catching Rey, and tossing him into the trailer wall. Larry Zbyszko yelling,"He threw him like he was a dart!"
ruclips.net/video/gdu__J8jTnI/видео.html
We were screaming that across the shop floor at work Tuesday morning.
Scott Hall’s reaction was what made it funnier.
The funniest in my opinion was when Rick rude was on nitro completely clean shaven, but also on Monday night raw with a beard 🤣
@@Mr_Clean Yep, the only time a Wrestler was on both shows simultaneously. RAW taped every other week, while NITRO was Live every week.
Rude may have been one of the last guys to NOT have to SIGN a No Compete Agreement.
Yeah Nash it was Bret Hart not the 10 million+ contract they wrote you
Remember when scott first came out on wcw I was barely watching it and was lucky to not have change the channel . This blew my mind as an 8 year old .
This interview is old as hell.
Kevin has very stylish hair and Scott obviously likes G-Unit music. Rip Scott Hall
Bret Hart gave Kevin Nash the best match of his career. Like most other wrestlers
@J Crash Bye Shawn...Survivor Series was better
@J Crash You seem like Shawn's bitch, always writing something against hart in all videos. Biased fucker
Well that’s one more reason to be thankful for Bret Hart.
LOL Rey, "Throw me hard as you can!"
Everyone else "OMG poor Rey!"
My man Scott rockin the G unit tee lol my guy! Rip!
I said the same thing
Nash & Hall two of the coolest dudes wrestling has ever had.
True. And selfish bullshitters
'cool' is gross, but we need them, I guess
So Nash is saying he would have turned down more money to work less days if it wasn't for Bret Hart? Sure Nash we believe you.......
He's so full of shit.
😂😂😂 ikr Nash c'mon bruh
Yeah he’s not being completely honest here
There was a little buzz kinda getting me back, but that Mysterio bump is what got me back into wrestling. That cold open of the show with these two guys just "invading" another company and destroying people "for real" was great television and I was all in after that.
Scott Hall with a G Unit shirt is soo epic! lol
Anthony Starkey Scott Hall in a G Unit shirt is something I never thought I'd see lol
Jonathan Oosthuis but how would you even think of that in the first place? If you'd never thought you'd see it doesn't that mean you had the thought of it already in your mind before you first saw it?
jrodjc shut the fuck up
It’s funny how Kevin in several shoot interviews he calls his match at Mania 12 with Taker a
“co-main event”
He and Taker had a great match but it was never promoted or sold as a “co-main event” any time by the company.
Shawn, Bret, Undertaker and Nash were on the promo poster. So was Hall even though he wasn't there.
@@Lord_Bibulous I realize that. Once again though, go back to all the build-up on the Raw and Superstars episodes, or even the day of the PPV, never once do you hear it being pushed as a double main event. At least not like it was at Wrestlemania 8.
Scott when Kevin started telling the story about Eric Bischoff coming to his house😭😭😭
Da Bad Guy sporting a G-Unit shirt wit a Razor flip phone!!! True G
Hall is such a smooth mo-fo, but damn I just gotta say that in this vid he really really resembles Steven Segal.
I remember watching that show where Scott first showed up. Was a WCW fan long before the NWO was created. I remember thinking WTF is Razor doing there, thinking he was WWF, then uttering that iconic line. One of the greatest moments in wrestling tv.
WCW was great for wrestling overall....... u had the split of old guard to allow the WWE to do the attitude era with Rock and Austin etc...... it's a very strange chemistry how that played out....... never to be replicated again.
Nash does a dead on impression of Shawn Micahels
I love hearing these guys talking about how they were able to get paid. Scott was really a best friend to Kevin Nash, even while battling his demons.
these guys created and ended the best years in wcw history
Wow. I love how these guys are being honest and not trying to say every idea was there's ...... Gave Bischoff and Larry Z credit
Did anybody else notice Kevin Nash saying Eric came to my 'crib' around 4:20? That's why he's my #1 fav wrestler of all time because he's just chill AF
No doubt, I always thouggt the same thing about him..hes mad cool and down with the culture and talks the talk lol
I grew up in middle school watching these guys and it felt real for sure. I remember going to school on Tuesday and everyone was talking about what happened on nitro the night before. True legends, RIP to the bad guy.
These 2-guys changed wrestling forever in spring 1996 WCW -NWO
Both the best, and worst thing that ever happened to WCW.
@@2HitWonder it wasn't hall n Nash that made it go bad
It would be a great idea for the reigning champion to get humiliated twice in a row leading into wrestlemania to get people over in an angle he isn’t directly involved in! ESPECIALLY when one of those guys (who’s even had a run as champ) will leave the company at the drop of a hat if he doesn’t get his way once….
I see both guys logic on the issue, Bret being a wrestling lifer and how important he took the being a champion thing though (screwjob included, not wanting to drop the title before Survivor Series 1997, for example, after being billed as champion) his approach was probably best. and as noted in another comment, that elevated HBK's win too, the very top guy in the company.
Bret took a tombstone from the Undertaker not long before that match. Diesel was still under Shawn at this point. Having Bret take the tombstone, then take the jack knife from Diesel who was under Shawn would diminish the buildup for Shawn vs Bret that was coming at WM12.
I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit. I'm heard several versions of Nash's "call Bishoff" story or stories. Some take place in the locker room, some in the shower and some in a motel. Now down by ringside.
Also his whole story about which finish to the match Bret had a problem taking has changed at least twice this year as well.
Neeta Song there's video where they call Bret the "400 thousand dollar champion." Where both Hall and Nash both claim that Bret was happy making only 400k per year as long as he won. Well the problem with that bullshit story is it's very well documented that Bret was the very first Superstar in the WWE (WWF at the time.) to be signed to a million dollar contract. In fact because of that contract and Vince not being able to pay it is what eventually would lead to the events surrounding the Montreal Screwjob.
Bret didn't sign the 20 year, million dollar contract until late 1996 after being gone for at least half a year and 100% after Hall and Nash were both already gone. So, it's not bullshit. Even if he was making more than 400k from late '92-early '96, it sure as hell wasn't a million.
Everybody involved has changed the story multiple times. It's the main reasons other wrestlers say it's a work. If you look at Bret's history...his father, being involved in the business all his life, and how he takes the business more serious than ANYONE...for him to go against the number one rule of "Do what you're told, when you're told." doesn't make any sense. Plus, Vince's insistence on making sure Bret was allowed to attack him. When you combine the whole story it really does start to come off as a work. It was the end of a year long angle of Bret accusing Vince of always screwing him (they let him say "goddamn" and "bullshit" on Raw in 1997 while "shooting" on him, ffs)...then turning heel...and starting to publicly trash Shawn and Vince...Vince at one point encourages Bret to go to WCW because of the money but then "screws" him...the "Bret Screwed Bret" interview where he made sure you could see his black eye a week later...the perfectly timed "Wrestling With Shadows" doc, etc...It probably seems impossible to be a work to some until you remember what they do for a living. They are masters at making people believe something that isn't real IS real.
Nash settled on his reason for leaving because he can sound like the victim. Hello Kev you were in The Kliq and you guys were running the place. He and Hall are entertaining guys but they were greedy and political as Hell.
Its actually more like Kevin saying Bret caused him to leave Scott had actually started to say he liked the angle he said it was cool then Kevin cuts him off. And tbh the best thing he couldve done is gone to wcw imo he wasnt that great as champ and his matches where boring except for his matches with Bret & hbk or the times he was in a royal rumble he could pull off that monster tossing everybody out pretty good but I always thought Scott > Kevin sucks he had those demons I could see him as champ.
I think the point was that Nash felt he should stick Bret with a powerbomb before Taker grabbed him, so that it was obvious that Diesel was going to win the match and Taker cost him the title. (And he's right.) The way they ended up doing it, you could argue that Taker just spoiled the match and you didn't know who was going to win the Bret/Diesel match anyway. Not a huge Nash fan, but he's 100% right here. If this story is accurate, Bret needed to chill out and let them tell the story better.
I absolutely hated Kevin when I was a kid because of the Rey incident lol I 100% thought it was real
Two of the coolest guys in the biz
Early in his WWE tenure as "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, Nash, a wrestler of average skills at best, befriended Shawn Michaels who had Vince McMahon's ear at the time backstage.
Later in WCW, he was closely aligned with Hogan and Bischoff and somehow managed to parlay those relationships into the job as a booker. Later, when he went to TNA, he befriended Jeff Jarrett who's father owned the promotion.
Nash's problem wasn't that he was a good networker, but rather that he used his backstage stroke to not only push his own career but also to hold down wrestlers who he felt were not at his level (and ironically almost all of the guys in question from Chris Jericho, to Bret Hart, to A.J. Styles were vastly superior wrestlers to Nash).
For those who believe that the ability to act cool and cut a good promo is what makes a wrestler truly great Nash, might have a case.
However, he was a pitiful wrestler, and even where he was strong (charisma and mic skills) he was still always overshadowed by the likes of HBK, Triple H, Scott Hall, and Hogan
Imo, a good wrestling show has a balanced card. I don't wanna see high flyers every match, nor do I wanna see big guys every match 🤷
Nash and Hall brought something to the table that most guys couldn't: charisma. People were cheering for Kofi Vs Bryan, and that shit was the most boring main event I have ever layed eyes on. It only went down so well because the fans were *invested* in the storyline. Neither Kofi, Daniel Bryan or PG WWE is to my taste, so for me, the whole thing sucked ass, but my point is that guys like Nash and Hall are what made wrestling into the party atmosphere it became.
*I'd tune in to WWE if it had personalities like Nash and Hall still*
TrashCanDatNoOb Wut I like this post but I respectfully disagree with the party aspect (you didn’t like DB/Kofi, I did but to each it’s own), Vince was the first to that with the early Wrestlemanias with the connection with MTV and celebrity involvements like Mr. T, etc.
TrashCanDatNoOb Wut and that’s what it’s all about. People try to make it seem like Professional wrestling is real lol. People come to watch wwe/wcw for entertainment that’s it. That’s why the ratings blew up back in the day. Stone cold and the rock is two of the most well known professionals wrestlers of all time not cause of their wrestling but because of their charisma and how they had the audience in the palm of their hand. Also I might add these wrestlers are today are better wrestlers than the wrestlers from back in the day but that doesn’t mean shit if they don’t have no type of charisma. Ratings suck because of all these damn vanilla midgets on tv.
Obviously didn’t watch WCW back in the day if you think he purely made it due to who he knew. He was one of the most over guys in the business & regularly got the biggest pops of the night. History revisionists really helped skew reality for you. The nWo’s heart & soul was Scotty & Big Sexy.
You may question his wrestling abilities but with Nash and Hall leaving it changed the wrestling dynamics in many ways. It forced the WWE to actually pay their staff and wrestlers a decent wage as they were not the controlling monopoly anymore. They were apart of the biggest movement that pushed WCW and WWF at the time the NWO BROTHERRRRRRRR then the attitude ara and DX and the NWO back. So he did play a part in making wrestling history.
They were over to an insane level
This is why the territories worked IMO. Popular guys switching promotions, taking spots or time from other established guys that were in place. Nash and Hall get it to a certain degree I think. Oh and that Rey Mysterio lawn dart by Nash into the trailer was epic.
I didn't know Razor Ramon was now Italian fast food clerk. Hm. I learnt something today.
i still can't believe kevin nash was paid to wrestle
Really? You might be too young to know this but Nash and Hall were 2 of the most OVER wrestlers of all time. Wether it was as razor and diesel or the outsiders them boys sold out every arena in this country!
@@brfuzz5600 Yeah i know they were over. I just find it hard to believe anyone would pay Kevin Nash to wrestle. Have you seen him wrestle? Its awful. Ive been watching since the 80s
@Antonio 1848 yes , but to be fair, it was a wrestling program he was on.
Would you say the same about Andre the Giant? Nobody paid to see him wrestle. It was the spectacle. It takes more to get over in wrestling than doing moves.
If this were true and the best "wrestlers" made the most money and were selling out arenas guys like Dean Malenko would be the best ever.
@@justinmartin1831No. I would never compare the two.
these guys are gold ,Hall an Nash always kill it together. good shit guys.
Ive been listening to Bretts interviews over the years and he portrays everyone as demons including Nash. After listening to Nash Brett just appears a self righteous spoilt kid!
They were young Bret saw during their younger days when they were bullies and smacking old wrestlers around . Bret probably The only one who stood up to them
Bret is his own biggest mark, which is quite an accomplishment
Bret was smart. He knew exactly what Nash was thinking. Not saying it was the right thing to do or say but they were both after their own interests.
I remember catching that part on Nitro when Nash threw Rey into that trailer. That was a good spot they did back there. Definitely seemed real atm
Nash is a huge mark for himself.
And Bret isn't? Try and find me any video with Bret talking where he doesn't end up talking about himself.
@@SBandy Bret isn't known for burying talent the way Nash was. Especially as a Booker. 🤷♂️
Makes better sense to let Diesel powerbomb Bret Hart to look like he was about to win but Undertaker screws him.
Yeah they really could have even had it so that Bret saw Taker first and got distracted. Then right after the powerbomb Taker gets in and screws the match. There, both guys look strong
Bret didn't want to have the title saved by interference again, didnt want to look weak heading into Mania Especially since he was dropping the belt to Shawn Michaels
@@coxx5150 And... Literally later on we had Undertaker losing his shot at the title because of Kane which became money at WrestleMania
@Douglas Taggart Still, in my opinion there would always have been an "if" that people would wonder. If Diesel did the Power Bomb maybe Bret would of gotten out of it or kicked out. That's how I would've pitched it.. but he really wasn't being a better team player
Favored Nations is the GREATEST clause ever in a contract.....
Kevin told Vince to match Eric’s financial offer . Vince said, “No”. Kevin left. I’ve seen him say it on other shoots. Bret’s the best ever.
Yeah I've never understood why he tries to spin the Bret narrative. I don't think anybody blames them leaving for double the money and half the dates.
Nash is the Best Shoot interview... but he tripped himself up on this one... You left cause of Brett... But then invited him to come to the place you left him to go to? Did you leave cause Brett? Or cause the money and Brett was crutch you used to do what you already wanted to do? 🤔
Didn’t you hear what he said? They got a lot more money when he came in.
Douglas Taggart Same with Shane Douglas. In fact everyone says once Kev was away from Scott and Shawn, he was a great person. Douglas even stayed he saw Shawn bully Kevin into being an asshole towards Carl Oulet
He doesn't hold grudges, he's not the type to hold someone back because of things they might've done to him. He's a hero he's an american hero jackass.
@Douglas Taggart there is more to Brett not being greedy. But Brett also pushed and got a 20 year large contract that Vince claimed he couldnt afford in the end.
Bret Hart’s the goat. These bums couldn’t lace his boots
Amen... Especially Kevin "stiff" Nash! 😅
He wasn’t even the best Hart smh
Hall should have gotten that strap. I've re watched a lot of those mid 90's Nitros. Hogan was embarrassingly past his prime at this point. Hall was absolutely on top of his game while Hogan was doing those terrible seemingly hour long pose downs with Bischoff.
The Curtain Call, matches with H.B.K. and the arrival to W.C.W. its been nearly 25 years, and Hall and Nash talk about the same thing.
its coz what they are asked by the interviewer
"He came up from underneath, it was sweeett." Undertaker's the coolest!
It's funny that Nash left because Bret wouldn't let him get over. Pretty sure a lot of talent left WCW cause they got buried by Nash. Jericho comes to mind.
Literally no one ever has said Nash buried them
Then we would of not had the NWO change over and the attitude area and most wrestlers were still not on contract getting decent deals. They may of left for themselves but it forced the WWE to actually pay their people and take some accountability. Like it or hate it they changed wrestling.
Rest In Peace Scott Hall. Greatest kilq member. Not even close. My favorite member of them. Thank you so much for everything. Kevin, stop lying. You left wwf for the money and less days. Nothing wrong with that. The greatest of all time Bret Hart had nothing to do with that. He gave you your greatest matches ever. Stop just be thankful for what Bret did for you. Unlike your boy er I mean Vince's boy toy
Mark Calaway is THE ultimate company man and even he thought Bret was being incredibly selfish, so it's unfair to blame Nash in this case. Hart was one of those wrestlers who could be just as self-absorbed as any Kliq member, but tried to hide it behind a veneer of 'tradition' and 'respect for the business'. Treating kayfabe ring results as legitimate wins and losses is about as pretentious as it gets.
Agreed. Bret is just as manipulative and pouty as The Kliq, only the Kliq dudes admit their own wrongdoings while Bret points fingers at people for his own faults. Guys like Nash and Hall will always have a future in the WWE as legends while Bret fades into irrelevance just like Scott Steiner, Ultimate Warrior, Miss Elizabeth, Lex Luger and Ron Simmons are now.
@@FilipoSooaUlufale Bret Hart is respected by the majority of the wrestling business while Nash has all ways been called out for what he was: a backstabbing manipulative asshole who buried others to get ahead. Bret has a legit point of not liking how he was booked in those PPVs before Mania 12, he was the champ and the build was supposed to make him and HBK look strong coming into their Ironman match, not look like a total chump. Sure Nash helped create the NWO angle which is historic but don’t forget, Bret was the one who put Austin over, who would help create the Attitude era, so this talk about Bret “fading out” like those other names you mentioned is beyond idiotic.
Undertaker has never confirmed this story. Why? Cause it’s bullshit
This is why no one likes Nash. Because during his whole career Bret tried to get ahead and at every turn someone else wanted to become a star at his expense regardless of how it made him look. When Bret has his own program and someone is trying to derail his momentum before he does it then it is about him.
Bret was right. He would of looked weak going into Mania with a tainted win over Nash.
Why do the use such lousy mics, it's annoyingly hard to understand them...
Rip Scott 😔
So you want him to get beat at the rumble by taker and at in your house to Diesel and an WM 12 to HBK? Yeah, I would've said no too.
people talking about a flip phone. This interview was from 2008-2009 😭😭😭😭. There were know Samsung galaxy's or Apple iPhones.
Brian Cromartie *no
Kyle mac 👍👍
Hall & Nash are som bad ass motherfuckers man. Outsiders were far more over than DX ever was
Kevin's entire career has been nothing but clips and backstage manipulation as stated by Eric Bischoff in a TNA segment. Atleast, Hall was a good wrestler.
The same Nash who changed the business in the mid 90s, same can't be said for your precious angel Bret Hart who failed miserably as a draw.
regardless of the subjects they're talking about i'm so happy to see Hall this clean and healthy...
and Nash is such a smooth talker and is such a smart guy... he actually makes you believe that everything he says it's true...
This is 2004-2005 buddy
Nash always has something negative to say about somebody. Like his shit doesnt stink.
