Kevin Nash suffered an ankle injury when he slipped on ice while getting out of his car over the weekend, thus Nitro had to be entirely rewritten. Terry Taylor was largely responsible for writing this week’s Nitro after Nash suffered his ankle injury and Buff Bagwell suffered a strained neck. Nash was scheduled to wrestle on upcoming house shows, including a tour of Germany. Apparently he wasn’t happy about the situation and some within WCW predicted he would suffer a “conveniently timed” injury beforehand. The injury happened, but whether it is fake (or exaggerated) or just a coincidence it came before the house show tour is up for debate. Nash once claimed to have had a “heart attack” shortly after being asked to do a job to Paul Wight at Starrcade.
