Kevin was always one of my favorites but it wasn't for his wrestling. Other than his finish which I still think is one of the best, it was always his mic skills and personality. Maybe I'm weird but I can like both. You can like the great personality/mic guys and also like the great workers.

@@robertlawrence4719 Lol yeah man, I was being semi hyperbolic and making fun of how people now days seem to feel like you have to go pick a side and hate the other guys. I always felt I was a fan of wrestling not necessarily JUST TNT or WWE. I watched both every Monday/Tuesday (one or the other the next day). You could say I Smelled What NWO was cooking or maybe I was DX 4Life or whatever. Or not lol
Being a super tall guy that I am I'm six foot seven barefoot and with boots on I'm even taller it is not easy to wrestle being super tall I think he did a phenomenal job and if he wasn't good at wrestling why did he get in multiple inductions into the Hall of Fame reform the business as we know it with the NWO and the Attitude Era and one of my favorite Parts is when he gave Goldberg his first loss and took his title
Great podcast but boost Kevs mic volume to be more in line with Oliver's. We don't need him to speak more into the microphone because his voice is dynamic enough, just boost it a bit please.
I met Kevin at an autograph signing in NJ back in the late 90's. He was one of the nicest and down to earth dudes. Spent about ten minutes just talking to me. This was at the height of his NWO fame too. I don't watch wrestling anymore at all. But I love hearing about stories from the greatest era Pro Wrestling will ever have.
From my Sophomore through my Senior year of High School I worked in the kitchen as a dishwasher in a high-end Retirement Community. I had a female boss who was maybe about 40 or 45 at the time. She was about a 4/10 and she only rated that high because she had really good hygiene. I used to service her pretty regularly at work (she had a small suite at the place as part of her compensation). I worked 40 hours a week at $7/hour but she adjusted my hours to make it seem I worked 60 hours a week so I got 20 hours of overtime each week. This was '98-'01. I did not mind the relationship with her but I joined the Air Force after I graduated and never saw her again. She never pressured or forced me to do anything. But from like day 1 of me working there she was making friendly/flirtatious comments to me every day. I was 16 initially so it took me a while to figure out why she was being so friendly with me.
Sean asking 30:17 "What is Vince's weakness?" Uh I think we found that out, given he was forced to retire. Kevin's just a really cool dude in all these podcasts.
Listening to a lot of the interviews, I can honestly say Big Sexy / Kevin Nash has an excellent memory, how he's able to retain such knowledge is incredible.
There is nothing Kevin can say that won't be biased towards Vince. He's one of the boys. In no way is this not a horrible and disgraceful way for one of the all time television greats to go out. It's tragic. But hey, Vince was hands down one of the greatest on screen villains of all time so this is kind of fitting for him to go out a villain.

Kevin Nash, you know Vince well, did he ever discuss what to do if he was to die? I wonder if he wanted some sort of angle to be used? he seemed like the WWE was his entire life. I can't see him being ok with the way he went out.
The biggest heal turn in wrestling history was done by Hollywood hogan, in 96 bash at the beach, HBK wouldn't fit there at the time he was already a heal in wwe. Hogan has always been considered a super hero a face of wrestling, so it made sense to turn him heal to be honest it was so cool.
What blows my mind about Nash is that in the 90s and 00s, he was the classic "boy" who used every trick in the book (WITH the book!) to bury everyone and get himself as over as he could, as dirty as he could. And it often wasn't best for business (see: The Streak ending, NWO 99, etc). And he winds up mellowing out into one of the most level-headed, progressive, kind-hearted people of the wrestling community. Lol, I love the guy.
It was established long ago that he didnt have anything to do with ending goldbergs streak. Yeah he may not have spoke up against it but he didnt influence it either. Were talking about the company that did everything wrong. Its no surprise they did that too. And if the finish had been clean no one would care. Between the crap finish and the finger poke of doom the next night none of it made any sense and thats why he gets heat over it. But goldberg couldnt save wcw alone. They got what was coming.
26:00-26:59 to me this sounds like Kevin is saying, "yes i loved Shane, he brought the cool factor into the business, good kid etc but that's it, nothing beyond that" It sounds to me like Kevin doesn't have high hopes for Shane being a chairman of the WWE. Judging by how Shane booked the Royal Rumble 2022, who could blame Nash for saying this?
EASILY the top 2 wrestling podcasts out there right now!!! I dont know who would take the number one but just naming them off, my top 2 favorite wrestling podcasts is Kliq This and DDP Snake Pit
Kevin Nash is the best the best thing I love about Kevin’s stories is that they are all true they are backed up by others only the people that don’t like him tell totally different stories that are not accurate, it just amazes me on how many old ass men hate on him just because he figured out how to work the wrestling business in his favor you can’t hate on someone for that he knew how to play things in his favor and knew how to have fun while doing it my respects to Nash if It wasn’t for him and Scott hall smaller unknown wrestlers would still be working in handshake deals that’s why the older generation hate him because they had to work almost their whole careers on handshake deals and only the few like hogan and piper got guaranteed money Nash and Hall changed that most guys don’t realize that that’s why I respect and love Kevin Nash and Scott Hall Two of the best of their time I hope Kevin Nash will read this and if you do now that triple H is head of creative maybe the Wolfpac can make a comeback with new faces and managed by none other then Big Sexy 👍🏾
Say what you want but Vince developed Nash into a main event player, same for Hall and Austin and Hunter. They were going nowhere in wcw. Goes to show you that what you need the most is someone having confidence in you and not being afraid to give you the ball. Putting the title on Diesel was a major risk, and sometimes that's all the individual needs.
Vince's idea for Austin was The Ring Master, which flopped horribly. It was Austin's idea to become more of what he was and that's why he got hot. Triple H was still going nowhere in WWF, in fact, he didn't even get noticed until he was in DX, an idea of Shawn's. Also, he wouldn't be as big today if he hadn't had married Steph, let's be honest. Diesel's title run nearly tanked the company also.
@@crystalwater505 You're not being "honest." HHH had heat as the Blueblood. It just was not a character he liked, nor saw as a lasting one to become a main eventer. DX was not "Shawn's idea." All FIVE members of the Kliq wanted to live their real life group on TV. Vince kept saying no. Fast forward to Hall and Nash not only being pissed with their Creative, but cash too. So they leave. With the nwo they live out their bond as the outsiders. Hogan was irrelevant at that point, so leeched onto them to get hot again. After financial and ratings distress, Vince FINALLY allows Shawn and Hunter to do their backstage antics on TV through DX. HHH always had a mind for the business. He was always the responsible and professional Kliq member Vince over time grew to like the most. He volunteered himself to Vince and Creative to pitch ideas for all talent, not just himself, long before Stephanie knew who he was. He absolutely would be a higher up whether he married Stephanie or not. And he already cemented himself as a legend before the nuptials. It's a 2way street by the way. He can't force himself to marry Stephanie. She had to love him too. No one becomes an all time wrestling star unless management takes the reigns off and let's them be themselves with the volume turned up. That's everyone. Not just Austin. HHH, Rock, Michaels, et al.
@@crystalwater505 He was the facilitator. Mankind though was 100% Vince's creation. He hated Cactus Jack and didn't want him on his program. So he came up with Mankind.
Either get Nashs volume up or turn your mic volume down Oliver!! Jesus Christ. The volume differences between you two is fucking terrible. I love the content but this is becoming unwatchable with you coming in loud as fuck because I had the volume cranked to hear Nash
There were timing issues when the expenses were recognized I think they did some shady stuff so it wouldn't all hit in 1 QTR and everyone would be like WTF...
Love this podcast Sean and Kevin mesh perfectly together but say what you want about Vince McMahon imo was a great Busy man and pretty much out with the people want it
The company has to revise its books, indicating that the money apparently came from THEM. And now the DOJ and SEC is investigating it, so the money definitely came from the company in some way. THAT is illegal.
I heard somebody say that Vince paid the women from his own account. As part of his severance package the WWE would reimburse Vince the amount that he paid to the women. That is why they had to adjust their books.
To borrow a phrase often used by two of my favorites, His Lordship Alfred Hayes and The Gorilla - who could have guessed the very thing that would put Vince down for the final three count would be the squared circle? Waka waka waka! 😕
Awesome show. I like the way you tell it like it is and fuck them if they don't like it. I remember seeing you just about every day when we lived in Daytona, and I worked security at a gate there and you drove on the property. Very cool guy.
Kevin Nash needs to be given a GOOD movie of his own. Him as The Russian in The Punisher, and his comedy skills in The Longest Yard(he was funnier than every fucking comedian in that movie, by a MILE) proves his worth.
I watched a vlog this weekend and a guy looked and watched Kevin at his booth ; and didn’t approach him or say hey man I’m a huge fan and I can’t pay but I love you …
Following Sean Oliver's logic if you're a CEO you can't date unless its another CEO even if you are not married. The problem with a 3 hour Raw is that's not going anywhere. They are making revenue for that third hour through commercials. I agree that 3 hours is too long for a weekly wrestling program. I also understand people's argument that most sporting events last more than three hours. The point I would make though is the Pro Wrestling doesn't have an off season and these other sports do. I do think work rate matters to a degree, but PERSONALITY and RAW EMOTION (pardon the pun) is what really sells wrestling.
A lot of famous men make women sign papers. I heard a lot of rappers say they make them sign it before they enter the house because they scared of what the women might try to do
@Kliq THIS I hope Kevin Nash is getting his heart checked. The Reason i say this...... Everybody gets older, has health issues, looks a bit more frail than they did when they were young and superman . But certain people you see often you don't recognize the little changes in them, but if you havent seen them for a while you do. EXAMPLE of this. The guy who played Coach from Cheers, when you watch season to season you don't notice him going down hill as much and getting thinner, but anyway my point is , if you go back season by season and look , you start to see him getting thinner and weaker looking, and ultimately he had heart problems and passed. So what i am saying while Kevin might be just working out better , he just looks a lot thinner all of a sudden. So if Kevin Nash or Sean Read the comments section, maybe get the 'ol ticker checked if you haven't recently-- just in case.
The only criticism I have of the show is that on youtube Nash is a little on the low side and I find myself lowering and raising the show between Nash and Sean. Otherwise Nash is a great communicator and Sean is a great interviewer and there are no commercials for reverse mortgages.
Pretty sure Vince did a good amount of booking and creative. Just because he wasn't "Mr. McMahan" the character, doesn't mean he wasn't a part of creative.
WCW Nitro had its highest ever ratings in 1997-1998 when they couldn't even say words like "ass." The show had tons of swearing and sexuality in 1999 with Russo, and it didn't save them. The storylines were gripping enough in 1997 that people didn't need swearing. Every wrestler had a catchphrase. There was a storyline that left each show with a cliffhanger. Adult-rated content isn't always necessary. Wrestling just needs to have good writing and be fun.
No; it’s because the money initially came from company funds and Vince is going to pay them back. Nobody seems to be able to clearly read the report. That’s why they have to restate the financials.
Raw being 3 hrs is the least of the problems with modern wrestling. 3 hrs with the right writers, mindset and stars can be great every week. The problem is the lack of efforts and selfish agendas pulling the product in different directions; to the point the show is too confusing or a chore to watch. Vince Russo also leaving was the slow death of wrestling
"Vince Russo also leaving was the slow death of wrestling" LMAO yeah sure, pal WWF's most successful year was 2000, aka right after Russo left. WCW's worst year was 2000, aka right after Russo arrived.
The problem with modern "wrestling" is that it's just not wrestling. It's sports entertainment. It's 35 high spots in an 8 minute match where no story is told and 13 finishers slammed out for the cheapest pops possible. There's nothing in pro "wrestling" today except a guarantee that you'll be injured by a botch on national television.
I’ve always thought that 3 hours of Monday Night Raw was just way too long and that they should’ve went back to the standard 2-hour maximum per each of their weekly televised shows, whether it’s Raw, SmackDown, or even NXT.
The respect towards Stephanie, Russo, and Bischoff is fairly vomit inducing. All three never should have been in the business, there's no talking around that.
I think a big celebration is coming for Vince but they weren’t gonna do that right after all of the news was revealed. I say they end up putting Vince in the hall of the fame next year at mania once the scandal is forgotten about. They will have a big send off for him. People today forget about shit so fast, by the time Mania comes around next year nobody will care about what happened lol.
When it comes to the Rating Change from PG to 14, its just like Nash said in the 90s.."Our channel has S&P in the creative room telling us we cant curse while their channel has Val Venis and Jenna Jameson doin softcore porn..I wonder where that demographic is gonna go"...except today its "our Channel is PG while their channel has MJF, has Blood dripping everywhere, people falling off of cages, women dam near wearing Lingerie and acting lesbian...I wonder where that demographics gonna go"....WWE needed to Adapt just like they did in the 90s or they will lose the Adults
I'd point out that anytime the boss asks an employee for sexual favors or a relationship of any kind beyond a professional one, it's improper. I mean, how many times did wrestlers do dumb shit just because Vince said to. A subordinate may not feel they have the ability to say no.
Sean is a really good interviewer. Very humble in that he doesn’t overplay his knowledge, but, asks in a way that a interviewee is willing to expand (he is not “off putting”). These two guys put on an excellent conversational interview.
Way better than Conrad
@@therealjcon Conrad is a wannabe know it all mark. He's a puttz

@@Speedyreedy1218 All that does is prove my point that Vince wasn't the mastermind of any of those successes.
@@crystalwater505 He was the facilitator.
Mankind though was 100% Vince's creation. He hated Cactus Jack and didn't want him on his program. So he came up with Mankind.
@@Speedyreedy1218 And for every Undertaker and Mankind we got 10 bad ideas like The Goon, Duke the Dumpster, etc.
This is a great pod
Vince laid belly down, ass up, across Karma's lap, screaming "bite me" because he doesn't care... When has Lucifer ever cared..
Either get Nashs volume up or turn your mic volume down Oliver!! Jesus Christ. The volume differences between you two is fucking terrible. I love the content but this is becoming unwatchable with you coming in loud as fuck because I had the volume cranked to hear Nash
I'm SO glad you said that bro. I thought i was the only one that noticed this
Yes! Turn up Nash!
There were timing issues when the expenses were recognized I think they did some shady stuff so it wouldn't all hit in 1 QTR and everyone would be like WTF...
Love the show can we get a lil more volume on the recording please?
Love this podcast Sean and Kevin mesh perfectly together but say what you want about Vince McMahon imo was a great Busy man and pretty much out with the people want it
The company has to revise its books, indicating that the money apparently came from THEM. And now the DOJ and SEC is investigating it, so the money definitely came from the company in some way. THAT is illegal.
I heard somebody say that Vince paid the women from his own account. As part of his severance package the WWE would reimburse Vince the amount that he paid to the women. That is why they had to adjust their books.
It's Vince..he won't burn 1 bit for this shit...
You probably won't read this shit but you're the best Kevin. Thanks for the show
Needs more Horsecock Express. So stoked to watch this clip.
To borrow a phrase often used by two of my favorites, His Lordship Alfred Hayes and The Gorilla - who could have guessed the very thing that would put Vince down for the final three count would be the squared circle? Waka waka waka! 😕
26:14 Kev says "fuckin" 9 times in like 12 seconds lol
Some ppl say " ya know" every sentence
Nash says " Fuckin" every sentence hahaha
Awesome show. I like the way you tell it like it is and fuck them if they don't like it. I remember seeing you just about every day when we lived in Daytona, and I worked security at a gate there and you drove on the property. Very cool guy.
Kevin Nash needs to be given a GOOD movie of his own. Him as The Russian in The Punisher, and his comedy skills in The Longest Yard(he was funnier than every fucking comedian in that movie, by a MILE) proves his worth.
Kevin Nash seems like a real smart dude, in general...not specifically wrestling related.
I watched a vlog this weekend and a guy looked and watched Kevin at his booth ; and didn’t approach him or say hey man I’m a huge fan and I can’t pay but I love you …
Solid stuff always liked Nash seems like a chill dude
Sean makes a wonderful point about the power play at work.
bollocks ...that's actually offensive fo women , your pretty much stating that women can't say no to their boss
@@petechambers541 Grow up, Pete. If you're unaware of the structures of power at play, then you're worthless.
Hey wait a minute...is this the guy from John wick ...the bouncer outside the club?
I wonder what it would be like to have Paul Heyman as head of creative and Eric as the face while HHH runs things from the background with Steph.
The only thing that could beat this podcast is of Scott wasbalive and had his own!
Following Sean Oliver's logic if you're a CEO you can't date unless its another CEO even if you are not married. The problem with a 3 hour Raw is that's not going anywhere. They are making revenue for that third hour through commercials. I agree that 3 hours is too long for a weekly wrestling program. I also understand people's argument that most sporting events last more than three hours. The point I would make though is the Pro Wrestling doesn't have an off season and these other sports do. I do think work rate matters to a degree, but PERSONALITY and RAW EMOTION (pardon the pun) is what really sells wrestling.
Should be interesting how long before a company like Comcast or Netflix makes an offer to buy WWE?
Would love for Raw to go back to 2 hours but doubt WWE can afford to lose the extra hour of advertising
I love this! Nash is the man! I love his ideas!
A lot of famous men make women sign papers. I heard a lot of rappers say they make them sign it before they enter the house because they scared of what the women might try to do
Props to christy hemme getting that 7.5 million dollar sack!! Lol
Is it wrong to ask if Ashley Masarro was caught up in this? The years in question match up. Idk, not spreading rumors, just asking a question.
Damn this a good duo
I'm still wondering how a person paid millions still snitched
She probably blew it all away.
Vince McMahon is the man in wrestling vince McMahon made wrestling what is today
@Kliq THIS
I hope Kevin Nash is getting his heart checked. The Reason i say this...... Everybody gets older, has health issues, looks a bit more frail than they did when they were young and superman . But certain people you see often you don't recognize the little changes in them, but if you havent seen them for a while you do. EXAMPLE of this. The guy who played Coach from Cheers, when you watch season to season you don't notice him going down hill as much and getting thinner, but anyway my point is , if you go back season by season and look , you start to see him getting thinner and weaker looking, and ultimately he had heart problems and passed. So what i am saying while Kevin might be just working out better , he just looks a lot thinner all of a sudden. So if Kevin Nash or Sean Read the comments section, maybe get the 'ol ticker checked if you haven't recently-- just in case.
Bring back WHAT’S IN THE BAG!
Am I the only one who can barely hear this. I have to have my volume all the way up
hi guys, how do you ask Kevin Nash a question?
The only criticism I have of the show is that on youtube Nash is a little on the low side and I find myself lowering and raising the show between Nash and Sean. Otherwise Nash is a great communicator and Sean is a great interviewer and there are no commercials for reverse mortgages.
A beautiful moment Vince should only be the talking person like he used to do in the early 90s and 80s
Pretty sure Vince did a good amount of booking and creative. Just because he wasn't "Mr. McMahan" the character, doesn't mean he wasn't a part of creative.
WCW Nitro had its highest ever ratings in 1997-1998 when they couldn't even say words like "ass." The show had tons of swearing and sexuality in 1999 with Russo, and it didn't save them. The storylines were gripping enough in 1997 that people didn't need swearing. Every wrestler had a catchphrase. There was a storyline that left each show with a cliffhanger. Adult-rated content isn't always necessary. Wrestling just needs to have good writing and be fun.
Of all the things nash could say for for Shane. He says he has a great shoe game and he’s cool lmao. Shanes knowledge of the business would be great.
No; it’s because the money initially came from company funds and Vince is going to pay them back. Nobody seems to be able to clearly read the report. That’s why they have to restate the financials.
The stock didn't go up because it's wrestling. The stock went up because people believe there will be a sale now that Vince is out.
You wrong much, huh?
@@paulwinstanley904 You read much, huh?
I quite clearly said people believe there will be a sale, not that there would be.
Try reading.
@@ROCKETS2965 you bite much, huh? 😂😂
@@paulwinstanley904 Don’t try too hard to pass off your stupidity as trolling. 🤣
Raw being 3 hrs is the least of the problems with modern wrestling. 3 hrs with the right writers, mindset and stars can be great every week. The problem is the lack of efforts and selfish agendas pulling the product in different directions; to the point the show is too confusing or a chore to watch. Vince Russo also leaving was the slow death of wrestling
"Vince Russo also leaving was the slow death of wrestling" LMAO yeah sure, pal
WWF's most successful year was 2000, aka right after Russo left. WCW's worst year was 2000, aka right after Russo arrived.
I would think you're Vince Russo but you didn't type a single bro in your entire comment
What is the adage? "Always leave them wanting more?" Two hours is plenty even when everything is running on all cylinders.
The problem with modern "wrestling" is that it's just not wrestling. It's sports entertainment. It's 35 high spots in an 8 minute match where no story is told and 13 finishers slammed out for the cheapest pops possible. There's nothing in pro "wrestling" today except a guarantee that you'll be injured by a botch on national television.
@@MidTennPews that’s a good point
Nash is on point 👉. Vincent's company and Money, if he played and payed it's 💯 on him. Not to hurt WWE he left...end of problem
Fans absolutely care abt work rate. You can GET over if u can’t work. But you won’t STAY over
I’ve always thought that 3 hours of Monday Night Raw was just way too long and that they should’ve went back to the standard 2-hour maximum per each of their weekly televised shows, whether it’s Raw, SmackDown, or even NXT.
They would lose too much in ad revenue
@@jamesmcconnachie3491, how, when most of the commercials are repeated over and over again anyway?
Sean completely misquoted Jericho. lol.
The respect towards Stephanie, Russo, and Bischoff is fairly vomit inducing. All three never should have been in the business, there's no talking around that.
Hey Big Kev next time im home in daytona how can i come meet you Nwo 4 Lyfe!
Find a meet and greet event he's attending. Other than that, leave him alone.
Hogan's Beach Shop in Orlando or Clearwater is your best bet. Nash and Hall were doing autograph meet & greets while I was there.
Kevin Nash should be part of the creative team now that hunter is in charge.
7:27 dollars to donuts this was dixie lol.
I agree with you wasn't cause of his wrestling skills that is for sure
Nash will forever be a McMahon loyalist.
Diesel was my fav as a kid and i did like his tastles lmaooo
Good luck bro
Apparently this guy with his defacto power balance doesn't understand what HR literally exists to do
I still think Vince and Shawn were banging. He was able to get away with soo much and Vince didn't let him go or even punish him.
I think a big celebration is coming for Vince but they weren’t gonna do that right after all of the news was revealed. I say they end up putting Vince in the hall of the fame next year at mania once the scandal is forgotten about. They will have a big send off for him. People today forget about shit so fast, by the time Mania comes around next year nobody will care about what happened lol.
Nash is just dope, yo
The scandal isn't going to stop the stock of WWE. Ppl has always tried to get rid if wrestling but, it will never go away.
When it comes to the Rating Change from PG to 14, its just like Nash said in the 90s.."Our channel has S&P in the creative room telling us we cant curse while their channel has Val Venis and Jenna Jameson doin softcore porn..I wonder where that demographic is gonna go"...except today its "our Channel is PG while their channel has MJF, has Blood dripping everywhere, people falling off of cages, women dam near wearing Lingerie and acting lesbian...I wonder where that demographics gonna go"....WWE needed to Adapt just like they did in the 90s or they will lose the Adults
I'd point out that anytime the boss asks an employee for sexual favors or a relationship of any kind beyond a professional one, it's improper. I mean, how many times did wrestlers do dumb shit just because Vince said to. A subordinate may not feel they have the ability to say no.
