Kevin Nash Discusses WrestleMania, Legends Contract, More…

Aaron Oster, of the Baltimore Sun, posted an interview with former WWE/WCW/TNA superstar Kevin Nash Thursday. The interview covers what Nash has been doing since his last run in the WWE, his thoughts on the NXT roster, memories from WrestleMania, wrestling the independent circuit, and more.

When asked what he has been doing since he left the WWE in 2011, Nash said, “I’ve been keeping busy.  I’ve been making personal appearances as well as doing independent bookings.  I’ve been working on a movie project locally with some writers and a production group.  It has a good script, and a medium-budget of about $1-to-1.5 million.  There’s also a reality show that I’ve been in talks with. I also have a legends deal with WWE, so I go in from time-to-time for DVD commentaries, and I sometimes go to developmental (NXT). It gives them an extra set of eyes who doesn’t necessarily get to see the guys as often, and can give them a different perspective.”

Nash also mentions that he believes the current NXT roster isn’t just a bunch of cookie-cutter wrestlers, but that they can be the future of the business. He also talks about the benefits of wrestling on the independent circuit, saying that he gets to perform in front of young fans that are just getting to know him via DVDs, and that it helps find new talent for promotions like the WWE. “The independent workers have gotten a lot better.  Better bodies, better skill level.  If I see a diamond in the rough, I can buzz Triple H, and say that this guy is worth a look.  It gives me a chance to stay out there and keep an eye open.”

He then shares some of his favorite WrestleMania moments, “The first Wrestlemania I was involved with was the Michaels/Hall ladder match, when I was Shawn’s bodyguard.  I still think that was one of the greatest matches of all time.  A year later, me and Shawn were headlining.  And then I co-headlined with ‘Taker the next year.  I was involved with some great moments in the early-to-mid-90s.” 

Nash goes on to talk about being part of the Undertaker’s streak, the WWE Hall of Fame, and even more on independent wrestling. You can read the entire article here.
