Kevin Nash Talks About Almost Fighting Mike Tyson

I wonder if Tyson can punch that high up. Kevin Nash recently spoke with Sports Illustrated for a new interview on SI.com. While a lot of the interview was Nash speaking about his WWF World Title reign in 1994/1995, he also told a very interesting story about something the company wanted him to do as a charity event. From the interview on SI.com:

“They brought me up to WWE Headquarters, which was called Titan Tower at the time, and Vince went into this elaborate idea of me fighting Mike Tyson in Central Park,” said Nash. “I asked him, ‘How much am I going to get paid?’ Vince said it was for charity, and I said, ‘F—. I ain’t fighting Mike Tyson and getting knocked the f— out for charity.’ Then he told me, ‘By the way, you’re going to drop the strap to Bret at Survivor Series because we’re going to put it on Shawn at WrestleMania.’

That would certainly have been something to see and it’s certainly something that could have happened. While Nash likely would have gotten destroyed by Tyson, who was in his late 20s at the time and making a comeback after a long prison sentence during the end of Nash’s reign as WWF World Champion. There’s no real reason for Nash to make this story up so we can call it something that would have been entertaining had it actually happened. If nothing else, it was for charity so it’s hardly something all that bad.
