Kevin Nash recently spoke to Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard blog about his acting career, his WWE run and more. You can check it out here and read some highlights below.
During the interview Nash had a lot of praise for The Undertaker and put over his ability to tell a story in the ring.
“There’s a reason why, right now, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson are out touring,” said Nash. “People want the drama. When guys are kicking out of 450-f—— moonsaults on one-and-a-half, what’s the false finish? There are so few storytellers left, but ‘Taker can go out there and tell a story.”
He also mentioned that he doesn’t think we’re going to be seeing The Undertaker face off against Sting at WrestleMania 32.
“You don’t put ‘Taker against Sting at [WrestleMania] 32,” said Nash. “I don’t think Sting wants it.”
Nash also opened up about the feud he was supposed to have with CM Punk back in 2011. Kevin Nash shockingly returned at SummerSlam and powerbombed CM Punk prompting Alberto Del Rio to make his way to the ring and cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase. A feud was being set up for Punk and Nash but Nash couldn’t pass the WWE’s physical.
“I never had a problem with Phil [Brooks aka CM Punk],” said Nash. “I wish we could have had our match. I knew he was talented enough to carry me, even at that point in my career, and he was super over. Even with the size difference, he could have done enough to help carry me. We could have done something with it, and we would have told a hell of a story. It wouldn’t have made my run any longer, but it would have been one more nice piece to add to the puzzle.”
Nash also made it clear that he feels he’s got one more run in him.
“I have one more run,” said Nash. “I’m started to get things fixed. I’m getting my shoulder fixed, I’m getting my neck fixed. I miss it, so never say never.”
