Kevin Nash recently talked about his relationship with his â~Cliqueâ friends Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sean Waltman and Scott Hall to The Baltimore Sunâs Kevin Eck, who does a lot of great wrestling articles.
On Scott Hallâs condition after no-showing the TNA Turning Point PPV: âMy relationship with Scott â” wrestling is probably like one percent of what our relationship is. I knew that if Scott no-showed that he was in trouble. While everybody else was running around concerned that they couldnât put the match together, I was concerned about my buddyâs well-being. I was very upset about it, but Scottâs Scott. Heâs dealing with those issues now and heâs doing better.â
On getting help for Sean Waltman and checking him in to rehab: âYeah. I mean, weâre like brothers, all of us. I think itâs just that weâve spent so much time together that when one of us shows up at the door, itâs kind of like, âOh God, my big brotherâs here.â And Iâm not going to come do it unless youâre screwing up. And if youâre screwing up, itâs like, âOK, youâve got to take care of this.â The three of us have a really good relationship, as I do with Shawn [Michaels] and Paul [Levesque, aka Triple H]. [Hall and Waltman] have just had a bad year (laughs). But I think in the long run this will probably be the most productive year both have had in a long time.â
On confronting Shawn Michaels several years ago telling him he needed to straighten up, and trying to keep his friends safe on the road: âI donât know. I mean, when we all went out, I drove. I was kind of the dad. I drove most of the miles. They used to say, even when we were pretty screwed up, âYouâre the heaviest â” you drive! Youâve got more body weight.â For three years, we spent 300 days a year together, in an environment that wasnât really advantageous to proper living. I look back and I just say, âOf all the guys who have passed, itâs a miracle that the four of us made it through that.â But I think itâs because we did watch out for each other, and we always pulled back the reins and kept an eye on each other, and would say, âDude, youâre out of control.â I think thatâs why weâre all still here.â
Big Kev, who is wrestling in the Lethal Lockdown match at this Sundayâs TNA Lockdown PPV, also speaks on his in-ring work and future. You can check out the full Baltimore Sun article at this link.
