Kevin Nash really went off on the "old schoolers" for almost killing the business by raping it till it was almost bare. Ironically, Nash raped the business for all it was worth also. Only thing is the business wasnt in bad shape because of it.
true horseman like aa flair ole sting windham blanchard malenko now those are performers and these f#cks are talking shit when they were getting paid 100xs what the best were.defend that you marks out there doin a lil konni1969 wit nash in the back of your pickup behind walmart while hall shoots up and xpac nods out
Young lions my foot; Nash is pushing 40 so how is he a young lion? Nash is considered one of the most selfish men in the business this promo is perfect for a man like Triple H the only way Nash is young is to the business being there for nearly 6 years. Sean Waltman/X-Pac/Syxx is a smack head and a recovering alcoholic so what makes him deserve respect. But I got to give it to them, the promo was from the heart and probably a lot of truth to it though.
he was around 36-37 when this happened, but by comparison to those that were running the business at the time, he (and most of the nWo) were indeed, "young lions".
@Bull1908 You cant call sean waltman an ex alcoholic...because everyone in the wrestling business has always been either drug addicts or alcoholics lol
Scott Hall must have been a no-show.Nash and Sean Waltman should be ashamed of themselves as Flair and PIper never missed a wrestling show,and had way more respect for the business and other wrestlers than all of the wreslings in that ring combined.Look at all the shows Hall and Nash missed because they knew they could,and caused the writers to rewrite the storylines.Kevin Nash is a hypocrite,and was always a average wrestler.Yeh he could talk on the mic,but not must else dd he have to offer.
@Konni1969no shit and yours too you douchebag.without the doo rag he still a 2nd rate douchebag and anybody who is a fan of his can eat a dickup til they hiccup
best days of wrestling now u have the miz who looks 15 and anyone can beat and the wigger shit wrestler john cena lame wrstling in 2011 pale lucky charms guy is the worst please go back 2 this style.and the ancient dinosaur tna
Nash is ALWAYS saying he's part of the "newer guys" but hes been around since I believe the early 80s or even earlier. so kinda hard to believe hes talking about the older ones when he IS one of the older ones.
Whether you agree or disagree with what's said in the promo - you can't tell me this wasn't raw, unscripted and from the heart, these guys meant every word.
Wow. You wonder why promos aren't any good nowadays? They aren't real. You can tell Nash and Waltman where legitimately pissed at Flair and Piper. Hell even Waltman cut a decent promo, which hardly ever happens.
Here's the one issue I have with Nash's promo...he says there's young young guys in the ring. Vincent was pushing 40, Norton was pushing 40, Nash was pushing 40, and so was Fake Sting. Bagwell and Waltman are the only two young guys and both of them got in bad- Bagwell screwed himself over and his career was over by the time he was 30 and Waltman just wore on everybody and he stopped mattering when he was 29.
@dogfan4lyfe He had all the right words just the wrong delivery. He was blown up after a match Syxx can deliver when hes really in it, He cut a blistering Promo on Dean Malenko and you cant forget about his return promo on monday night raw,plus the flair parody ,classic. Nash is just like you said. Nothing less than that. He knew how to draw the crowd in so it was all eyes on him.
These guys are jags....not ONE guy in that ring has drawn shit in the business. To bad mouth Flair and Piper is stupid. When Nash has had matches with Race,Rhodes,Brisco, Funk,Funk Jr,Valentine,Wahoo etc like Flair has, then let me know. When he has traveled from territory to territory and pulled decent matches out of nobodies like Flair has, again, let me know
@jswags Oh gosh, an internet smark. Sorry dude, just based on the NWO alone these guys drew big money. $55 million profit for WCW in 1997. BTW genius, this isn't a shoot. It's a storyline. Part of a feud is putting down your opponent. Yeah, Flair drew money. He was the last of the touring NWA champions. But Flair is very overrated, great as he is. Ask guys who actually work in the wrestling business; many of them have the same opinion Nash states here. Flair was a bastard, a mark for himself.
@peterp21 Hey dickhead...I'm a LONG way from a "Smark".....I know its not a shoot....and having following wrestling since 1973, I understand what a storyline is. Its a well known fact that these guys were assholes to people around them behind the scenes. Ok,they did have a good run for awhile there.Before you get too excited for the NWO,don't forget that Hogan,Piper and Savage were also there in 1997 making that profit for WCW. You could count Nash's great matches on one hand
@sakonhagakure he really doesnt..they just dont utilize him they way they should. He's in the same some boat as ALOT of guys on the roster. If your over with the crowd, then your over, period. If the crowd loves you and wants to see you, then WWE is gonna capitalize on that. He gets no legit storyline or anything so the people have no reason to cheer or boo him. But watch when he finally gets a break, TRUST
@TheJ024 well he did a damn good job in taking part in making WCW one of the hottest programs and making a life time of memories for millions around the world.
@InternationalBoy can you blame aol? the rating were shit towards the end and figure why give them a time slot when they are not producing decent ratings.
@gabeguzman quit being a mark off of what some other moron told you and actually do some real research. WCW was still TNA's highest rated program. The Buyers though didnt want to have anything to do with the wrestling business so they sold it cheap to Vince.
@InternationalBoy no shit sherlock! i'm saying in my opinion that was part of the reason other than the buyers not wanting to have anything to do with wrestling. Let's be honest it gave them more reasons to not have anything to do with wrestling. I guarantee that if wcw had high rating at the time they problaby would oo kept wcw regardless if they hated wrestling!
@gabeguzman Well you're wrong. They got rid of WCW for the simple fact that they didnt want a wrestling program PERIOD. They Didnt want Wrestling being the flag ship of the channel so They Sold it for chump change. It had nothing to do with the raitings as I've said before,WCW was still the highest rated show on TNT and to them it didnt matter. Wrestling wasn't in their plans for the new direction for the company. Ted Turner Loved wrestling,AOL/Time Warner Not so much. So thus WCW Was sold.
@gabeguzman I don't think Nitro ratings in 2001 were any lower than they were in 1995 and early 1996. Not that this is a huge endorsemnt or anything, but they didn't exactly fall off the face of the earth. They just weren't as high as in the NWO glory days.
@zaaz369 I actually thought it was pretty good. The merits of what he said were strong. It was evident that he was very nervous but he powered through it, and that is hard to do. Therefore I must respectfuly disagree. I thought it was alright.
Nash killed it though. It is easy to see why he was so freakin' 'over.'
@NWA1985WCCW a legend in pro wrestling, umm..... who the fuck are you? btw, are you in pro wrestling, do you come on T.V.? have you acted in major name movies, nope, you are just some trailer park trash, STFU.
This was "professional wrestling". Vince created "sports entertainment" so he could further insult everyone's intelligence and make his product even more cartoonish.
True Free energy devices exist,But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Get a real free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be a part of the energy revolution!
If Sean and Nash really wanted to get some love from the back they would've mentioned how Benoit, Malenko, Taker and Foley all got shafted due to Flair and the rest old heads being stuck in the past trying to only put over those in their camp.
@dgenerate707 Flair is an easy target and scapegoat for problems in the business seeing as he is so decorated and has one of the best minds for wrestling. Why not blame guys like Jim Herd, Vince Russo or Eric Bischoff? More recently, why not blame the McMahons for taking the safe route because Linda is running for Senator? And why not blame a guy hired by Stephanie, Johnny "Ace" Laurinaitis for hiring no talent, cookie-cutter body builders and swimsuit models instead of wrestlers to WWE?
@jw870206 But so is Nash as well he gets critized alot as well. Jim herd does deserve some of the blame as well. LOL Syxx just said banana nose, The Mcmahons do get blamed which is one of the reasons i watch TNA, AAA, and ROH when i can. I only believe Eric listened too much to Hogan, Nash but I won't blame Eric for the downfall cuz nitro did good up until Bischoff got kick out and russo was brought in.
@jw870206 Flair has a great mind? How so? He is a great wrestler, a legend, but how is he a known great mind? Sure, you can blame Herd, Russo and Bischoff. But realize that wrestlers think differently than dumb marks do. Flair earned a lot of enemies. Kept Luger down, kept the Steiners down. Only jobbed to his buddies. Arn Anderson, an utterly mediocre wrestler in looks, charisma and skills got pushes whenever banana nose was in WCW. When he wasn't, Arn was a midcard loser chump.
@peterp21 As a wrestler he is a great mind. He knew how to make a jobber look like a main eventer. Maybe not the best promoter, but certainly better than Eric Bischoff. Bischoff lets Hogan do all his thinking for him. Luger had a lot of potential, but he was never really anything that special because he was more or less a bodybuilder. And what world are you living in where Double A is a mediocre wrestler in skills and charisma. Sure he's not much to look at, but that's not what this is about.
This is one of the MANY reasons why I preferred WCW over WWE (and prefer TNA over WWE big time).....because you got/get FAR more "stripped down", shoot-based promos, which I wish WWE did far more. Then again, I guess when you have a promotion catered to kids, you get circus/cheesy shit anyways. Vince McMahon SUCKS ASS! WWE = WORLD's WACKEST ENTERTAINMENT
This is THE GOSPEL TRUTH, from Nash. I forgot about this promo, and I can easily say that out of all of Nash's great promos, this is one of his best and speaks the truth. Flair has ALWAYS been a selfish piece of shit, and the business WAS (and still is , in MANY ways in WWE today) very dependent on keeping alive the "family name" by only pushing the sons and daughters of others....who were ALSO pushed on THEIR family name back in the day, and so and so forth.
@marcusrob02 Amen.Internet marks listen too much to Scott Keith and Dave Meltzer. They think that the workrate guys they guys love are also loved in the business. I bet you more guys like Hogan than Flair. Yes, Hogan kept people down and they didn't get their chance to wear a fake title belt. But guess what, those guys don't care about belts or Hogan's workrate. They care about success and making money. And Hogan did that in spades and his opponents and coworkers all benefitted.
@peterp21 Haha, Nash and Hall have said numerous times that they had more cons than pros in regards to working with Terry, but in the end the dollar signs he generated just by being a part of their program made him invaluable even if they all didn't see eye to eye some of the time.
The REAL glory days of wrestling, right here. NOTHIN on WWE TV today comes CLOSE to greatness like this. Great mic work...great matches...great moments
@InternationalBoy Damn right. This is strikingly similar to HHH's promo that he cut regarding the hell he went through after the MSG incident. Exposing the business was a big deal.
"..we're gonna try the best we can to patch the potholes you guys (Flair and Piper) left behind". Yeah, Kev. We saw how ya did that. By flapping yer gums and NOT WRESTLING. Same thing yer doin' today. The only thing more remarkable is that some idiot organization is willing to pay ya for it.
Nash is right. Piper and Flair would sell their mothers for another spot in front of a camera. Piper and Flair look both like hell and talk abot things that happened 25 years ago.
@Konni1969 Amen.I think the blinders are off as it regards Flair. The man has now tarnished his legacy for about 15 years. He's in his mid-60s, flabby, crazy, balding, and making a fool of himself weekly because he can't leave the business behind and is absolutely broke. I mean, he was over the hill when this promo occurred! Has Piper drawn a dollar since Wrestlemania I? Piper is an incoherent prick who never jobbed to ANYONE. He first retired in 1987, and has kept coming back for 24 years!
I like how Sixx Pac is flapping his gums about ripping ppl off when Hogan, HHH and pretty much every power wrestler copied off of Superstar Billy Graham, Keven Nash's light copy off of Mean Mark from the 80s and every other cruiserweight including Sixx Pac copied off Of Lou Thetz, Rey Misterio Sr and every other Great Lucha libra and great japanese wrestler. lol Sixx Pacs promos were always pointless. Really? Banana nose? give me a break...
Pac, Nash, Vincent, Buff, Fake Sting, and somebody nobody knows....what a collection of freakin losers. What a joke these clowns are bashing the greatest of all-time.
Nash does have a point. If you think about it, after the initial runs of people like Flair, Hogan, Savage, Luger, Sting, Warrior, Piper, etc, the business was left in kind of a funk. It too the like of Nash, Hall, HBK, Taker, Bret, and in my opinion ECW to keep pro wrestling afloat until the nee renaissance started up.
Nash can talk, but it takes a special kind of guy to wrestle, and the NWO had nothing to offer. Ric Flair didn't have to go on national TV and bawl for his chance to shine...he busted his ass for it!
Nash was and is awesome on the mic! X-Pac is as well and Scott Hall. That's what made them great. Nash is telling the truth. Now it's time for someone to replay this for him... But there is no one good enough in TNA to make a point with it. AJ Styles????World Champion!?!?!?!?!? That's dumb. He might be their biggest start but that just explains why WWE will always be #1
@KaiXi333 i feel the way his position changes is that back in the day, Wrestling was in its prime and a lot of guys who weren't established like a Hogan or Flair was given next to zero chance of being a success and had to work EXTREMELY hard to for any chance given but now a decade later and stars today are all about the cars, clothes, money and fame, even the sport of wrestling now takes a back seat, just look at WWE PG, there's a reason why wrestling isn't taken seriously anymore
@KaiXi333 Yea, but in TNA he was a major factor in a lot of the younger guys getting pushes to be stars. He started that whole 'feud' with the X Division to bring more attention to them. He'd squash them after they'd wrestled a match and then get challenged and back out like a bitch to make himself look scared to wrestle. he finally got his comeuppance. He ran all those skits with Alex Shelley and Lethal for them, not for himself.

Syxx was a big player in the nWo. He was good on the mic as well. If Syxx didn't leave in '98 for WWF, he prolly woulda been a bigger player like Nash and Hogan was in the nWo
@campKILLer listen to that video NWO shoots on Ric flair what nwo said about ric flair and u will understand and watch this video 2 /watch?v=1TuJcuUv0Uw&playnext_from=TL&videos=JLhvWM_SP4k maybe u will understand

@zaaz369 I actually thought it was pretty good. The merits of what he said were strong. It was evident that he was very nervous but he powered through it, and that is hard to do. Therefore I must respectfuly disagree. I thought it was alright.
Nash killed it though. It is easy to see why he was so freakin' 'over.'

If Sean and Nash really wanted to get some love from the back they would've mentioned how Benoit, Malenko, Taker and Foley all got shafted due to Flair and the rest old heads being stuck in the past trying to only put over those in their camp.
dgenerate707 1 year ago
@dgenerate707 Flair is an easy target and scapegoat for problems in the business seeing as he is so decorated and has one of the best minds for wrestling. Why not blame guys like Jim Herd, Vince Russo or Eric Bischoff? More recently, why not blame the McMahons for taking the safe route because Linda is running for Senator? And why not blame a guy hired by Stephanie, Johnny "Ace" Laurinaitis for hiring no talent, cookie-cutter body builders and swimsuit models instead of wrestlers to WWE?
jw870206 1 year ago
@jw870206 But so is Nash as well he gets critized alot as well. Jim herd does deserve some of the blame as well. LOL Syxx just said banana nose, The Mcmahons do get blamed which is one of the reasons i watch TNA, AAA, and ROH when i can. I only believe Eric listened too much to Hogan, Nash but I won't blame Eric for the downfall cuz nitro did good up until Bischoff got kick out and russo was brought in.
dgenerate707 1 year ago
@jw870206 Flair has a great mind? How so? He is a great wrestler, a legend, but how is he a known great mind? Sure, you can blame Herd, Russo and Bischoff. But realize that wrestlers think differently than dumb marks do. Flair earned a lot of enemies. Kept Luger down, kept the Steiners down. Only jobbed to his buddies. Arn Anderson, an utterly mediocre wrestler in looks, charisma and skills got pushes whenever banana nose was in WCW. When he wasn't, Arn was a midcard loser chump.
peterp21 10 months ago
@peterp21 As a wrestler he is a great mind. He knew how to make a jobber look like a main eventer. Maybe not the best promoter, but certainly better than Eric Bischoff. Bischoff lets Hogan do all his thinking for him. Luger had a lot of potential, but he was never really anything that special because he was more or less a bodybuilder. And what world are you living in where Double A is a mediocre wrestler in skills and charisma. Sure he's not much to look at, but that's not what this is about.

This is one of the MANY reasons why I preferred WCW over WWE (and prefer TNA over WWE big time).....because you got/get FAR more "stripped down", shoot-based promos, which I wish WWE did far more. Then again, I guess when you have a promotion catered to kids, you get circus/cheesy shit anyways. Vince McMahon SUCKS ASS! WWE = WORLD's WACKEST ENTERTAINMENT
marcusrob02 1 year ago 2
This is THE GOSPEL TRUTH, from Nash. I forgot about this promo, and I can easily say that out of all of Nash's great promos, this is one of his best and speaks the truth. Flair has ALWAYS been a selfish piece of shit, and the business WAS (and still is , in MANY ways in WWE today) very dependent on keeping alive the "family name" by only pushing the sons and daughters of others....who were ALSO pushed on THEIR family name back in the day, and so and so forth.
marcusrob02 1 year ago 3
@marcusrob02 Amen.Internet marks listen too much to Scott Keith and Dave Meltzer. They think that the workrate guys they guys love are also loved in the business. I bet you more guys like Hogan than Flair. Yes, Hogan kept people down and they didn't get their chance to wear a fake title belt. But guess what, those guys don't care about belts or Hogan's workrate. They care about success and making money. And Hogan did that in spades and his opponents and coworkers all benefitted.
peterp21 10 months ago
@peterp21 Haha, Nash and Hall have said numerous times that they had more cons than pros in regards to working with Terry, but in the end the dollar signs he generated just by being a part of their program made him invaluable even if they all didn't see eye to eye some of the time.

@Konni1969 Amen.I think the blinders are off as it regards Flair. The man has now tarnished his legacy for about 15 years. He's in his mid-60s, flabby, crazy, balding, and making a fool of himself weekly because he can't leave the business behind and is absolutely broke. I mean, he was over the hill when this promo occurred! Has Piper drawn a dollar since Wrestlemania I? Piper is an incoherent prick who never jobbed to ANYONE. He first retired in 1987, and has kept coming back for 24 years!

Nash does have a point. If you think about it, after the initial runs of people like Flair, Hogan, Savage, Luger, Sting, Warrior, Piper, etc, the business was left in kind of a funk. It too the like of Nash, Hall, HBK, Taker, Bret, and in my opinion ECW to keep pro wrestling afloat until the nee renaissance started up.

Because a decade later in TNA he was singing the tune of how its the young guys who were so arrogant and didn't know what real sacrifice was about.
And you know what the funnies thing is? He has a lot of good points.
KaiXi333 1 year ago 2
@KaiXi333 i feel the way his position changes is that back in the day, Wrestling was in its prime and a lot of guys who weren't established like a Hogan or Flair was given next to zero chance of being a success and had to work EXTREMELY hard to for any chance given but now a decade later and stars today are all about the cars, clothes, money and fame, even the sport of wrestling now takes a back seat, just look at WWE PG, there's a reason why wrestling isn't taken seriously anymore
MWacesz420 1 year ago
@KaiXi333 Yea, but in TNA he was a major factor in a lot of the younger guys getting pushes to be stars. He started that whole 'feud' with the X Division to bring more attention to them. He'd squash them after they'd wrestled a match and then get challenged and back out like a bitch to make himself look scared to wrestle. he finally got his comeuppance. He ran all those skits with Alex Shelley and Lethal for them, not for himself.
