WWE Hall of Famer and one of the greatest big men in all of pro wrestling Kevin Nash took to his Kliq This podcast, where he discussed a variety of industry related topics including how WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque has complete control of the company’s creative as well as Triple H’s past differences with “The Best In The World” CM Punk.
This is what Kevin Nash said:
“It’s funny now that Vince has taken a backseat in this whole thing, I see Paul, like, he owns it now. He has ownership of that company as far as when they say he’s creative. His demeanor, his pacing, I mean, he is in complete control of that situation. There’s never been anybody of his talent in the ring. I mean, when he was with us, we were all ruthless and we were all very driven for our success. It’s such a different Paul now. I know that when I was supposed to wrestle Punk, you know, he just got under Triple H’s skin so bad. Paul just came up to me and just said. ‘I’m going to beat him. You’re not gonna wrestle him. I’m beating him.’ I’m like, ‘Cool.’ That’s why me and Punk never wrestled. He’s said, ‘I gotta beat this f***er.’”
Nash also discussed Punk’s interview from RAW last week and how he thinks it felt very contrived.
This is what Kevin Nash said:
“For somebody who’s so pipebomb, it just felt very contrived. Then at the end, you know, oh s**t. I better slip this in so I have some credibility, ‘I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to make money.’ I’ve heard that before.”
Nash then discussed what is next for The Best In The World.
This is what Kevin Nash said:
“Ten years ago, he walked around with a hydrocollator pad on his lower back. He’s been beat up. He worked a very, I’m not gonna say reckless, but just a very indie style for those years in Ring of Honor. He put miles on his body early.”
