Sports Illustrated did a feature piece on Nash last week. In addition to the quotes below, he talks about Hollywood, Bret Hart, nWo, WCW, pressures as a booker, etc. Link to the whole article is below.

A Farewell Run
Nash’s vigor for the business has yet to wane, and he is still coming up with new ideas for his next WWE return.

“When Kane wrestled with one sleeve, that one sleeve would have covered my tattoo,” said Nash. “Our size is pretty close, so you could have had me as Kane, or you could have tied in the Authority.”

Kane lost his role as “Director of Communications” with the Authority this past Sunday, and Nash shared–perhaps even with a hint of foreshadow – that he works very well with Paul Levesque and Stephanie McMahon.

“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.”

His Favorite Match
While Nash is extremely proud of his farewell match with Michaels at WWE’s Good Friends, Better Enemies pay per view (“The whole world knew I was gone for WCW, but we still made them believe,” said Nash), he listed his favorite match as the world title match against Hart at the ’95 Survivor Series.

“We put that together on the telephone in about twelve minutes, then walked out there and did it,” said Nash. “Bret and I had such a similar perspective. We knew we had 25 minutes, and we needed five minutes for the close, and we just told the story through four five-minute periods.”

Hart defeated Nash for the title, ending his 358-day title reign.

“The story was that Bret couldn’t touch Diesel when Diesel when on his feet, but Diesel was in trouble when Bret had him down,” explained Nash. “The longer it went, the advantage went to the smaller guy. I pushed him onto the table and threw him back in the ring, and asked myself, ‘What have I done? I’ve become the old Diesel.’ Then, when I did bend down to pick him up, he small-packaged me for the 1-2-3, and that triggered me emotionally to go back where I had gone.

“If you look at the title run, I was originally supposed to be a killer heel. But people don’t realize, when I became champion, I hadn’t even had 200 matches.”

On CM Punk
Nash’s title reign was eventually eclipsed by John Cena and later by CM Punk and his 434-day run as WWE champion. Nash and Punk were scheduled to work together at Night of Champions in 2011, but Triple H was inserted into the match after Nash was too injured to pass his 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.”

No holds barred with Kevin Nash

OMG Kevin Nash WTF Thought he was dead LOL :umadphil:

Get your legs fixed too, Kev :mjcry:

Seriously though - He was already mad enough on Colt' Cabana's podcast. The extra :pacspit:he would have had for having to carry Nash and then lose to him would have made him even more :mjcry:than he was when he left.
