D-Von Dudley Defends Kevin Nash After Backlash Over “Mr. Bojangles” Remarks

TLDR

D-Von Dudley defended Kevin Nash on the DukeLovesRasslin podcast regarding Nash's controversial comments about Je'Von Evans that included phrases like "Mr. Bojangles" and suggestions about Evans being presented as "more urban." Dudley argued that Nash's comments were due to poor word choice rather than malicious intent, stating he never witnessed racist behavior from Nash during their decades working together in WWE, TNA, and Japan. While acknowledging that Nash's phrasing crossed a line, particularly suggesting someone be "more Black," Dudley described Nash as someone who jokes around but not in a malicious way and has always supported underdogs and minorities.
