New Jack made a lot of waves during his time on this earth. He even had an entire episode of Dark Side of the Ring dedicated to his life while he was still with us. It appears that one old rumor about Kevin Nash and New Jack doesn’t have any weight to it.
Kevin Nash had a lot of pull in WCW, so he could get in Eric Bischoff’s ear if he wanted to. That being said, there was never a time when Nash actively kept New Jack off of Ted Turner’s pro wrestling show.
During the Kliq This podcast, co-host Sean Oliver asked Kevin Nash if he ever kept New Jack out of WCW. After all, this is a rumor that’s been going around for years. Big Kev was quick to shut that down.
With a simple shake of his head, Kevin Nash denied that story with a, “naw.” He never politicked against New Jack in WCW to keep him out of the company.
Kevin Nash went on to say that he actually met New Jack. This was a while ago, at a pro wrestling event. Nash didn’t get any feeling that there was heat between them or any issues there at all.
Sadly, New Jack passed away in 2021, he is not around to share his side of the story. New Jack may be gone, but he certainly isn’t forgotten. It also seems that Kevin Nash never had an issue with him, either.
