• “I’ll tell them to f**k off” – Rumor Killer On Hulk Hogan & Kevin Nash Not Getting Along
Kevin Nash was one of the biggest Superstars of the 90s and he wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation / WWE (1993-1996, 2002-2003, 2011), Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling (1996-2001) and Dixie Carter’s Total Nonstop Action! (2004-2011).
He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015 and again in 2020 as part of the nWo, making him one of only a few 2-time WWE Hall of Famers.
During a recent episode of his weekly ‘Kliq This’ podcast, the former ‘Big Daddy Cool’ Diesel shut down all rumors about him not getting along with ‘The Immortal’ Hulk Hogan.
Here’s what Nash said:
“Hulk is one of the smartest guys I’ve ever met in this business. I saw something the other day in one of these comments. The guy said ‘You really hate Hogan, don’t you?’.
I’m thinking to myself, that’s probably one of the 10 closest people that I have in the industry. Terry and I could not talk for 8 months, and we can get on the phone and talk, and we’ll talk for 3 hours, and we’ll catch up on each other’s lives.
Like I just got a call from a documentary place out of London and they were going to do a Hulk Hogan promo. They wanted to include the Gawker stuff. So, they came through my management. They made an offer. I said to my agent ‘Let me first check and make sure that Hulk is cool with this’.
They hadn’t even talked to Hulk. This was some bush league, back door, and they were going to try to get Gawker information out of me.
I asked him ‘Do you know anything about this?’. He said ‘No’. I said ‘Cool, then I’ll tell them to f**k off’, and he said ‘Thank you. Love you brother’. It’s as simple as that. I don’t have to be with him 24/7, but when it comes down to somebody trying to bushwhack him, I got his back, and I know he’s got mine.”
