Welcome everyone, the nWo's own Kevin Nash is here to take your
questions.
KSweet16 (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash - you once said you would rather have a sex change than
go to WCW. I was just wondering how you've liked the last 18
months, and if after all the current controversy, you wish you
could have your penis back.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You're scaring me talking about my penis
Michigan SW (Prodigy Member)
Could you take us through what happened with Syxx?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I had a long talk with Eric. Eric informed me that he has
people he has to answer to. It was coincidental that the
backstage controversy and the discontinuing of his contract came
within 24 hours of each other. Syxx is a very talented
performer and I know he'll land on his feet.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, thank you for joining. Internet rumors over the past
few days state that you asked WCW President Eric Bischoff for
your release from WCW on Thursday, 3/12. Is this ture? Can you
comment on it? Thank you.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
In the heat of the argument I asked for my release. He said
"Are you crazy, you're not going anywhere, you're locked for
4 years, I'll send you to Poland before I send you to
Vince." I replied...."They love me in
Poland".
infamus (Prodigy Member)
Are you sorry you left the WWF to go to WCW? wouldnt you
rather be a part of DX?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I think the NWO angle is one of the strongest angles in wrestling
history. Since Scott, myself, and Hulk started this thing
it would be very difficult to pull out. Plus...and I'm not
sure that Vince could pay me what I'm making here, which is
serious bank. This to me, is a business...and I hate to say
it, but the bottom line is dollars.
SCStunner98 (Prodigy Member)
Thanks for taking the time to join us, right before a PPV
event. There's another internet rumor going around, that
you are threatening to buy out the remainder of your WCW/nWo
contract (reportedly worth $500,000). Can you say anything
to confirm or dispel that rumor?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
If I was only making $500,000 there might be some legitimacy in
that question. Since I'm making a lot more than that, I'd
have to ask Turner to buy me out of this thing.
SCStunner98 (Prodigy Member)
When/how did you find out about the termination of Sean Waltman
(Syxx), and what was your initial reaction?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I found out Monday that the letter had been sent. Syxx is
one of my closest friends. I was irate.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, thank you for joining us. Internet rumors recently
state you have an out cluase in your contract where you can leave
for $500,000. Is this true?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
That's not true
IwantNASH (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, I gotta say... The Wolfpac isnt the same with out Syxx. I
hope Bishoff gets his "stuff" together and gets Syxx
back, and I really hope you dont buy out the rest of your
contract and go to WWF.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I talked to Eric after everything calmed down. He said that
Syxx would always have a place here. His spot was not
gone. He could come back. Syxx has not signed with
Titan, and there is still a possibility that he will be back with
the Wolfpak.
KevsBabe (Prodigy Member)
Hi Kev, What do you think about the "new" Shawn
Michaels image, and do you both still keep in touch with one
another?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I talk to Shawn usually once a month. Most of our
conversations are on a personal level. I'm more concerned
about Shawn's health right now than anything.
SHovanJEP (Prodigy Member)
Hey thanks for coming Mr. Nash. I recently read in the torch that
Hogan and Bischoff brought you into a private meeting to talk
about "things" Does hogan have MOST the controll in
WCW?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Hogan definitely has a lot of power. With the numbers he's
been delivering headlining PPV's it's a warranted power. I
just am not used to playing backup. I think I have a pretty
good voice myself.
KSweet16 (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash - do you still talk frequently with Shawn Michaels, and
if so, what has he told you about the condition of his back? Do
you think he'll be physically able to work at WrestleMania?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Shawn's a pro. He'll be at Wrestlemania and he'll give
whatever he's got...which knowing him will be worth buying the
PPV.
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
I'm sorry to hear about what Bischoff did to Syxx. When your
contract expires, any chances of a Kliq reunion in the WWF?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
If someday the Kliq were to reunite...in what federation we don't
know....the s*** will be on.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, thank you for your time today prior to your match with
the Giant. Please compare for us working for Vincent K. McMahon
and Eric Bischoff. Others have made comparisons and we'd like to
hear what you have to say.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Working for the WWF things are laid out six months in
advance. You're more worried about details than you are
about substance. Booking here is a lot looser. It's
more of a helter/skelter situation...but it's proven successful.
IwantNASH (Prodigy Member)
I have a huge Tribute to Kevin Nash on my web page, from Steel to
Current Big Sexy Giant Killer. What do I have to do to get you to
visit my site and look at your tribute?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Teach me how to work a computer.
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
With Syxx gone, does this make the chances of the Wolfpack ever
breaking off from the nWo slim or nil?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Syxx isn't gone yet.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, I appreciate you taking the time to chat with us prior
to Uncensored. Is there any heat between yourself (and Scott
Hall) against people like Hollywood Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and
Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Also, why do you believe Sean
Waltman was actually terminated? Thank you for your time.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I don't think the word is "heat", I think it's more of
a difference of opinion. Scott and I had a long talk with
Hulk and we've decided to make money together.
IwantNASH (Prodigy Member)
If Syxx goes to the WWF, will he keep the name Syxx or go back to
1-2-3 Kid, real name?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You'd have to ask Syxx
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
What do you think of Jim Cornette' comments about you a couple of
months back ago on RAW?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Cornette is entitled to his opinion. I think Jim Cornette's
biggest problem is he's secretly in love with me, and would like
to challenge me to an apartment wrestling match. The
proverbial banana on a pole match.
KSweet16 (Prodigy Member)
If it were up to you, what direction would you like to see the
nWo go in next? Do you feel that Hogan has taken your vehicle for
stardom, and would you like to have a feud with him in the
future?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'll stay over no matter what. I'm just too damn funny to
keep on the back burner. Maybe an HBO half hour comedy
deal.
kozcdiy (Prodigy Member)
How often do you work out at the gym? When your on the road where
do you usually workout?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Work out 4-5 times a week. I just find whatever gym I can
in whatever city I'm in.
SyxxPacBF (Prodigy Member)
Is there any chance of you going back to the WWF when your new
contract ends?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Techlight17 (Prodigy Member)
Do you feel that Vince McMahon has done well with the WWF after
you, Scott Hall, and Bret Hart all left, in other words worked
well with what he has?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Vince has done a great job with a limited talent roster. I
think Vince is back at the top of his game right now.
SyxxPacBF (Prodigy Member)
I have two questions. One. Do you still keep up with
the happenings in the WWF? Two. Do you have
Prodigy? If not, I suggest you sign up.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have AOL at my house. I have friends in the WWF and keep
up with what's happening.
JDaveW (Prodigy Member)
When will you have the WORLD TITLE, Champ?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have to have a title shot before I get the belt.
Wiccan Witch (Prodigy Member)
Kevin Nash, is the wrestling business everything you expected it
to be? or was it kind of a let down?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Like in any business there's going to be ups and downs.
It's proven to be beneficial from a monetary sense. I just
have a different perception of where the business should go.
FlyerJon (Prodigy Member)
Hey Kev. Was the NWO a creation of Scott Hall & Kevin
Nash, or were Hogan and Bischoff involved from the begining?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Eric actually came up with the concept. Scott and I with
Eric put the groundwork together, while Hulk was making a
movie. When the controversy came on who the 3rd person
would be, the only person any of us could come up with with the
impact that Scott and I had jumping was Hulk.
DLA BSTGK LS (Prodigy Member)
Was there a reason for the firing, or was it just Eric Bischoff
drunk with power?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You have to know Eric Bischoff to understand why he did what he
did. Eric was very angry at Scott and I and I feel that the
firing of Syxx was to put us in our place. By the same
token in retrospect Eric kept the door open for Syxx.
FlyerJon (Prodigy Member)
Later in the same HHH interview he says, "People want to
talk about [DX] being the NWO or whatever. The NWO has
peaked. You've seen as much as you are going to see.
You've seen the best those athletes can give you. You've
seen the most creative things they're going to give
you."
Do you believe any of these remarks may be correct?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I know I've still got a lot in my brain. Ways to make the
NWO stronger and the storyline better. I don't think we've
peaked, I think we've plateaued until we peak again.
TheLariat (Prodigy Member)
How do you feel about Hogan not wanting you and Hall to be
"cool" heels, but then he goes out and does all of the
things that you guys were doing and that got you over as cool to
begin with?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Being cool isn't an act. I didn't get the nickname Big
Daddy Cool from the guys in the lockerroom as a marketing ploy.
TheLariat (Prodigy Member)
Do you find it ironic that Vince McMahon screwed Bret Hart out of
fear he would not show up to drop the WWF Title when he continues
to put belts on Shawn Michaels, the guy who loses his belts
because he loses his smile?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I think the Bret/Vince angle was a work.
ClioquesBarr (Prodigy Member)
Kevin- On a recent addition of WCW Internet Insiders Scott Hall
stated that Wrestlemania could be Shawn Michaels last match in
wrestling. Have you spoken to Shawn at all or been given
any indication that Wrestlemania could be his last match?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Shawn's pretty beat up and his doctor and Shawn are the only ones
that can say if it's his last match. I know he's going to
take some time off after Wrestlemania.
SyxxDxGH (Prodigy Member)
How come you all can't do crotch chops on camera, but Hogan can
talk about Liz screwin the guys in the lockeroom?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You'll have to ask the higher powers.
Jon360 (Prodigy Member)
How do you feel about the WWF's current product and direction?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I don't get a chance to watch enough to have an opinion.
They are still doing decent ratings.
Mega Jr (Prodigy Member)
Yo, whats up Mr. Nash, and thanks for taking some time out to
talk to us. I just got one question... What are your
feelings about Eric Bishoff after the knowledge of how he has
treated his employees in the past, termination wise, and well,
now with Sean??
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
All I can say is I definitely wouldn't want his job.
Mega Jr (Prodigy Member)
Hey Big Sexy, don't you just wanna beat the hell outta Eric
Bishoff, hehe
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'd give him the beating of his life.
MondySunday (Prodigy Member)
Do you like Bret Hart. I know him and Shawn Michaels didn't
like each other too much and your friends with Shawn so do you
have the same feelings about Bret that Shawn does?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have never had any personal heat with Bret and have never had
anything but a great match with the guy.
KatsKorner (Prodigy Member)
Do you want a shot at the World Heavy Weight Title, and will it
matter if an NWO member holds it, even if its Scott Hall?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I wouldn't wrestle Scott...that's my boy.
Hitman0000 (Prodigy Member)
How is your relationship with Scott Hall, how do you feel about
him getting a title shot?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Scott is my best friend, along with Syxx, Hunter, and
Shawn. Anytime any of my friends are put in the limelight,
I'm happy.
Redwings25DM (Prodigy Member)
Is Bischoff really such a pud that he would fire Sean because he
is mad at another wrestler?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Let's just say Eric has an explosive temper
AmercanDream (Prodigy Member)
if you were in the wwf would you join degeneration X?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Yes
Cryer John (Prodigy Member)
What do you really think of Eric? He's your boss, but tell
the truth.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I get along with Eric on a personal level. We disagree a
lot on a professional level.
BrEt 6 13 (Prodigy Member)
Who is your favorite boss, Mcmahon or Bischoff
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
They both have their strong points.
NJLigerNJ (Prodigy Member)
Kevin - You once said that having the WWF title was better than
prison sex. What did you mean by this?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Wanna be my cellmate?
TWNPNashNWO (Prodigy Member)
What are your thoughts on Tyson joining DX?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Is this question in any way related to the prison sex question?
