World Wrestling Entertainment has now confirmed that Kevin Nash will be the final inductee into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class.
The news came through a piece at RollingStone.com. WWE later tweeted out the story on its official account:
BREAKING NEWS via @rollingstone: @RealKevinNash Enters the @WWE Hall of Fame: He Did It His Way http://t.co/9UlqF1sM3n #WWEHOF

“I’ve been called just about everything, but this is the first time I’ll be called a Hall of Famer. It’s nice,” Nash laughs, per RollingStone.com.
“It’s been a long 25 years, but this business has been great to me. Without wrestling, there’s no way I’d be where I am today. I’d probably own a strip club someplace.”
PWinsider.com had reported several times that Nash was to be inducted this year, but it had yet to be confirmed by WWE.
It’s expected that Nash will be inducted as the “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel character he portrayed in the nineties, similar to how Scott Hall was inducted as Razor Ramon last year.
He joins Rikishi, The Bushwackers, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Arnold Shwarzenegger, Alundra Blayze and Tatsumi Fujinami as the official class.
