[edit] Whose reaction?

Under the WWE subheader, the following statement was there: "The first reason was that Hulk Hogan's reaction to his WrestleMania X8 match against The Rock in Toronto prompted his return to his old babyface, yellow and red persona." Obviously, it's missing the word "fan", as in his unexpected fan reaction was the reason for this. The reaction was overwhelmingly pro-Hogan that the Rock was booed for probably the first time ever since his successful 'Rock' character. Not even when he wrestled Steve Austin was he booed like this. I added the word 'fan' just to clarify.--SlightlyInsane 01:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just how tall is Nash?

I noticed several recent entries to this page that changed how tall Nash really is. I made an edit (the latest as of right now) that reflected what his official website says (the FAQ on his official website has as it's first question that he is 6'11. However, I visited the TNA profile link at the bottom of the page and they list his height as 7'0. So, who's right? I'd say that his official page should be the most reliable, but TNA may have measured him at some point to come up with what they have. Eric42 04:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

His website also gives his height as 6'10". [1]. He's unlikely to be any taller than 6'11", because wrestlers often exaggerate their height. McPhail 18:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

K Nash legit height is 6,9(Powerslam magazine). He has been led to the ring at anything between 6'9 and 7feet in his career. In his first appearance on WWF telly, they actually put him at 6'9. He soon 'grew' to be 7feet in subsequent shows. Halb

Kevin Nash is about 6'11 1/2. Look at his photos compared to the Big Show, he's almost right up there with him. His height should be changed to being 6'11 1/2. Son of Kong 47:1, 5 August 2006

Nash is clearly 2 - 2.5" shorter than the Big Show. In the old face offs with Show he had to look up dramatically to meet the Big Show eye-to-eye. In fact, I believe Big Show himself to currently stand only 6'11.5" in bare feet, though he is still over 7 feet in footware. Manssiere

[edit] Protection

I protected this page due to vandalism, as requested on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. --Phroziac ^(talk) 03:10, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

"Tearing quad" is still listed as a finishing move; it would be ideal to remove this. McPhail 16:39, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

This being protection or tearing quad? --Phroziac ^(talk) 17:33, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Tearing quad. The protection should stay.

↪Lakes 17:57, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Done. --Phroziac ^(talk) 18:56, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. McPhail 20:01, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unprotection?

Do you guys think it's safe to unprotect this yet? Do we know why it was being vandalized so much? Also, I got away with unprotecting WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 today, so far atleast -- maybe the vandals just haven't noticed yet. :) --Phroziac ^(talk) 22:27, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Unprotected, since no-one here objected. --Phroziac ^(talk) 01:45, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] One of the worst crowd drawing champions?

"Unfortunately, Kevin Nash's reign as WWF Champion is considered a failure. He is actually one of the worst crowd drawing champions of all time and is often compared to The Ultimate Warriors failed title reign in 1990." An anonymous user has added those two lines a while ago. Sounds rather peculiar to me, as Nash was a very succesful wrestler when he joined WCW and drew a lot of crowd to their shows, and I certainly don't think that he would have held his WWF title for almost a year if he was such a bad crowd draw. Unless someone here has any proofs to those claims, I'll revert the article to the previous version. (DuDe)

WWF was doing very bad business while he was champion, although whether this is due to Nash is a different question. Certainly not encyclopedic to have that line.

↪Lakes 11:30, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough, I have removed those two lines. DuDe 13:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

As Lakes say's, WWF was in a slump. It was usual WWF policy (when they still focused on one top man) to slump the blame on the champ. As for his reign length, everyone seems to hate Cena, yet they let him have it for almost a year. Halb

The comment was from a Jim Cornette interview where he recounted a conversation that someone, I believe it was Jerry Brisco, had with Nash. Nash had complained about being paid less than previous World Champions, and Jerry told him that he was their lowest drawing champion ever. Matt

[edit] Nash still has fans who respect him.

To me... I'm a big fan of Nash, man. Sadly but true it's late for him now, He did good back in the day but as others like him, He's an old timer and I'd rather see him go with some kind of respect than to throw his life away in TNA. It's the worst Federation I've seen, Yes they do have Good talent but Storylines and Other stuff is getting old and Cheap. I think Kevin's Career Highlight was with the NWO... God I remember when Scott Hall (Razor Ramon in Back when WWE was WWF) Kept talking about Bringing in the Big man. Between him, Holgan, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner and Syxx.... Those were the real NWO guys,; I feel the rest were just Simple recruits To claim Power in numbers. I don't think there will ever be a group that was as Popular as the NWO. Then that went Down the toilet too cause of all the Branch offs... Hollywood NWO(Black and White), NWO Wolfpack (Black and red), NWO (Red, Black and White) and Finally The NWO black and Silver. Let's not forget the LWO, even though it had nothing to do with any NWO but Supposedly the Mexican Wrestlers were tired of getting beat up by the NWO members so they banded together and started the LWO which Flopped almost immediately. So Nash did draw Crowds to WCW and he was the reason I kept watching it.... He and the NWO. But I said before I think it's time for Nash to retire. HE's making Movies so he still has something there.

[edit] He's 6'10. 6'11 tops

Looking at Photo comparisons between Nash and Big Show, Show has about 2 inches on Nash, and Show is about 7ft tall give or take a half inch. (Show's Wichita state University team listed him at 6'11 at age 20). Given this, it seems that Kevin Nash is likely about 6'10. and probably 7ft tall in boots. --63.224.226.148 03:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I would say possibly more than 2inches, mabbe three? http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/wwfmi/showthen271012.jpg. If Show is a legit 6'11", Nash has to be no more than 6'9". His own website contradicts itself over his height.(Halbared 08:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Super Shredder

One actingitem says:

Nash is frequently credited as having portrayed "Super Shredder" in the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. The role of Super Shredder was actually played by Tyler Mane. Ironically, Mane was Nash's tag team partner as half of the Master Blasters.

Anyone got a source on that? Because both IMDB and the Official TMNT Website credit Nash. I've deleted this trivia until someone finds a source equally reliable for it. -- Ritchy 00:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you can get much more creditable than an official website. The deleted sentances in question, are lies. Plain and simple. SilentRage 13:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I also thought he was credited in the actual film as well. --IrwinRShyster

Kevin Nash did play Super Shredder in the TMNT II movie. He is credited in the end of the film. I have viewed the credits and sure enough it lists Kevin Nash as Super shredder

[edit] What about his Wife?

I heard that Kevin used to be married to a woman named Tamara and has a son, Tristen with her but now I read that he is divorced from her and married to a new woman. Is this true?

[edit] Pulling a nash

should there be any references in here? 81.110.2.1 12:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalized

this article is vandalized by opinion. "is the crappiest wrestler ever" "shittiness" in the very first paragraph. 169.232.102.36 10:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)mfiedor

[edit] Nash Trivia

The WWE On a link on their webpage (http://www.wwe.com/subscriptions/247online/wrestlemania/?cid=wwe247mar07-06) say that the beating that nash recieved at the hands of the uundertaker at wrestlmania was so stiff that this was the reason that Nash was not seen in the WWE for a long time.This is actually untrue as the reason Nash was not seen was thatbhe was on WCW during this time.I feel that a hading TRIVIA should be on the page,reporting various bits like this.What is the general Opinion?? Strangelycool 19:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• TRIVIA: Nash once drove a golf ball 572 yards. Longest drive ever. BTW the link you gave says no such thing...FACT! --TheTruthiness 04:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
