The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Kevin Nash was notably furious backstage during last week’s TNA Impact tapings when he received word that Eric Bischoff referred to him as "Big Lazy" in a recent interview. Nash is known for keeping himself under control in situations like these, however, Bischoff’s comments struck an apparent nerve with the former WCW star.
