Cubone posted:lol I don't think he goes on the road any more but he used to always carry "burger towels" so he could just shove them into his huge mouth and not worry about messing up his clothes. If you check on youtube there's probably like 13 hours of Jim Cornette talking about cheeseburgers.

Sadly he got cancer not long after getting niche internet celebrity status and passed away. thankfully a whole bunch of wrestling fans did get to tell him how much they loved him as a kid or whatever so that was cool. I loooooooved this promo he did where he comes out and says I'm not a shark, I'm a man https://youtube.com/watch?v=TowM2e1XADI

while Jim Cornette's food quirks aren't nearly as bizarre as Vince's, I admit "burger towel" is a phrase I definitely would have assumed came from or was foisted onto some goon in olden times in printer-toting/apple-dieting/Grover-hausing fashion

He'd just pound it down. Nourishment for the next workout.

Vince would just be shoving a turkey club down his throat, screeching "You motherfucker, I will betray Bret Hart." Jim Cornette would try to talk him out of it, but it was too late. Shawn Michaels promised Vince a mountain full of cocaine, so the screwjob was on.

Nash is a terrible Maybe part of it was working his body to specific failure and grabbing that dragon horde when it was being shoved his way because gently caress if you know what's gonna happen medically. * changed because my word choice didn't sit well, since Nash is a great talent and skilled athlete and admirable in a number of other ways. From a company standpoint, he definitely took any chance to make his workload lighter. FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 23:59 on May 29, 2023 |

You probably had to be mindful of your momentum, too. Fail to go upwards in WCW, you are very likely to fall downwards. It's an absolutely toxic working environment that encourages absolutely bullshit behavior, but I imagine Nash was very aware that if he didn't take on the job as booker and just do whatever, they might have a feud with Hacksaw Jim Duggan ready for him, fighting for the custody of Duggan's secret child... Kevin Nash!

A guy won a $35 million Powerball jackpot, took a $17 million lump sum, and decided he wanted to use the money to recreate GLOW but in 2010. He partnered with Jimmy Hart and a former GLOW producer and they made one season of a really bad TV show. They announced that they were working on a second season and hired some new wrestlers and started filming matches for it but it never materialized. Probably because he ran out of money.

the story I heard about Kevin Nash was he went in to the production truck there and talked to one of the guys in there, and I guess the guy was out of the closet because Nash asked him "are you gay?" and the guy said "uh yeah" so Nash said "cool, you smoke weed?

In my experience, pretty much every business in the world is run this way. Companies only make good products when absolutely all other options have been exhausted. I think someone ITT offered a similar explanation as to how the Attitude Era happened.

And he eventually got the nickname of "Syxx-pac" in WCW by his NWO friends. So when he returned to WWE, his name was now X-Pac. Ex-Pac.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:kevin nash doesnt have any major controversies outside of robbing wcw blind he's a saint by wrestler standards Yes, by human being standards he is a top level guy in wrestling. Professionally he was greedy, selfish, and held down guys like Eddie Guerrero, Benoit (may his bones be crushed), Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, and Chris Jericho because they were "vanilla midgets" He also helped write some of the dumbest storylines in the history of wrestling and helped kill Goldberg's career out of jealousy.

If Kevin Nash was a Game of Throne character, and he might very well have been in WCW, his house motto would have been "après moi, le déluge".
