Kevin Nash is one of the most influential wrestling icons of all time. The decorated legend has been involved in the wrestling industry in various roles. 2022 was a brutal year for Nash, the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion lost his closest friend Scott Hall and his only son, Tristen. Nash recently made several concerning comments that caused the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office to visit his house for a wellness test on him. Thankfully, Nash is doing fine at the moment.
During the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash addressed the incident and assured everyone that he would not do anything to harm himself:
“So for the people that don’t know, the easiest way for me to explain this is, so I did the thing last week, and I mean, I’m not saying that I’m not in a great place, but I promise you, everybody out there, this whole fu**ing week, people have been saying, ‘Man, we need you. We love you. You were one of the best big men.’ If you’re trying to save my life, you better say I’m the best big man, ok.’”
“Emily Sherman was Brad Siegel’s niece, but she worked for us. I think she worked in international or whatever when we were in WCW. Her and Scott started dating. She would travel with us a lot on the road when we would go from from town to town, especially from Nitro to Thunder. It was always this ongoing thing where they would say, ‘Well, what do you guys think about that?’ Scott and I would both say, ‘Yeah, as soon as we get done sticking a pistol in our mouth.’ They would say, ‘Oh, that’s not funny’ and Scott would say, ‘It is because we’re gonna leave a note.’ A couple people buzzed her and they’re like, ‘Hey, your boy Nash, I think he’s in trouble.’ She watches it and pops. Like she watches it and pops, she’s like, ‘Oh, they don’t know the skit.’ They don’t know, it’s the note. You know, it’s like, that’s what makes it funny.”
“Last week I made some off-color remarks, but for anybody out there, I would never do anything to harm myself. I guess people don’t realize I have a wife that’s been with me for 35 fu**ing years. It’s never been about me. I drive a fu**ing ’05 Mustang. I know it sounds like that skit from fu**ing Saturday Night Live where, ‘I drive a Dodge Stratus’, but I drive a 2005 Mustang. I don’t give a fu**. It’s never been about me. It’s about the people that I take care of and that’s your job. Your job is to provide and protect. That’s your job.”
It was reported that Kevin Nash had absolutely no intention of harming himself and that he was doing completely fine when police officers checked up on him at his home. It’s evident that Nash is going through an extremely difficult time emotionally, considering his only child passed away due to cardiac arrest at the age of 26 last year. Nash lost his best friend Scott Hall on March 14th, 2022.
Kevin Nash stepped away from the ring years ago due to multiple injuries, after competing in almost every major promotion. He last wrestled for WWE in a losing effort against Triple H at TLC 2011.
Kevin Nash is currently signed to WWE under a legends contract. While fans expected Nash to be part of RAW Is XXX, it doesn’t seem like the Hall of Famer is even in a position for a surprise appearance at the moment.
Nash won 20 major titles throughout his career. His 358-day WWF Championship reign is the longest of the 1990s. In WCW, he ended Goldberg’s undefeated streak after 173 wins at Starrcade in 1998.
