Official Gamingring TNA Wrestler Showcase Thread Kevin Scott Nash (born July 9, 1959 in Trenton, Michigan, USA) is an American professional wrestler and actor. Nash has wrestled under various ring names for World Championship Wrestling (WCW), World Wrestling Federation/ World Wrestling Entertainment (WWF/WWE) where he wrestled famously as Diesel, and currently, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Kevin Nash is a six-time World Heavyweight Champion, eleven-time World Tag Team Champion and one-time Intercontinental Champion. Nash debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling alongside the returning Scott Hall on November 7, 2004 at the inaugural monthly TNA pay-per-view, Victory Road, with the duo helping NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett retain his title in a ladder match with Jeff Hardy. In subsequent weeks, the trio identified themselves as the Kings of Wrestling, and began feuding with Jeff Hardy and A.J. Styles. At Turning Point on December 5, 2004, the Kings of Wrestling were defeated by Hardy, Styles, and Randy Savage. Hall left TNA in early 2005, and Nash and Jarrett separated after Nash made clear his desire to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Nash received a title shot against Jarrett on February 13, 2005 at Against All Odds, but lost following interference from the debuting Outlaw. Following the defeat, Nash joined forces with Sean Waltman and began feuding with the newly formed Planet Jarrett. At Destination X on March 13, 2005, Nash lost to The Outlaw in a First Blood match following interference from Jarrett, who struck Nash with his title belt. The rivalry between Planet Jarrett and Nash and his allies culminated in a scheduled Lethal Lockdown match at Lockdown on April 24, 2005 pitting Nash, Waltman, and Diamond Dallas Page against Jarrett, The Outlaw, and “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown.
However, Nash was removed from the card and replaced with B.G. James after contracting a staph infection, which left him sidelined for much of 2005. During his time out, Nash did an interview with WWE.com. He discussed the Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan match which was scheduled for Summerslam 2005.
Nash returned to TNA on October 1, 2005 on the first episode of TNA Impact! to be aired on Spike TV, attacking and powerbombing Jarrett. Nash went on to challenge Jarrett to a match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Bound for Glory on October 23, 2005. In the weeks preceding the event, Nash and Jarrett had several heated confrontations, on one occasion brawling with one another and with guest referee Tito Ortiz. On October 22, 2005, one day before Bound For Glory, Nash was hospitalized with chest pains. At Bound For Glory, a battle royal was held to determine the number one contender; Rhino won and then defeated Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Nash was later discharged from the hospital, having suffered a mild cardiac episode. He made a partial return to the ring in December 2005, wrestling several matches on a tour of South Africa.
Nash returned to TNA once more on the April 27, 2006 episode of Impact!, announcing in a pre-taped segment that he would give a private interview to Alex Shelley one week later. The interview saw Nash claim to be the most profitable WWF World Heavyweight Champion of all time and describe the X Division as “basically filler”. Nash went on to announce that he intended to destroy the X Division in order to re-assert his position within TNA. He began his campaign at Sacrifice on May 14, 2006, powerbombing Puma, and continued his campaign on the May 19, 2006 episode of Impact! attacking Chris Sabin shortly after he had defeated Petey Williams to win the TNA 2006 World X Cup Tournament for Team USA.
After destroying the World X Cup trophy and powerbombing Sabin, Nash informed the supine Sabin that “size matters!” Nash continued to attack X Division wrestlers over subsequent weeks, leading to Sabin challenging him to a match at Slammiversary. Nash’s attacks were also coupled with pre-taped segments with Shelley (some appearing only on the internet website YouTube) and his “X Division debut” on the June 15, 2006 episode of Impact!, where Nash wrestled a comedy match against a midget Shelley dubbed a “Sabin-type wrestler”. Nash defeated Sabin at Slammiversary in his second televised match in almost a year, albeit with the assistance of Shelley.
Around this time, Nash and Alex Shelley formed a stable known as Paparazzi Productions, with Johnny Devine as a cameraman. Nash then decided to go for the X Division championship. He got penciled into a Number One Contendership match for the title against Chris Sabin at Hard Justice.
He claimed that he had developed an 840° somersault splash that he would unveil in the match. However, over the weekend, he suffered a mysterious neck injury, supposedly while practicing it with Tito Ortiz, and named Alex Shelley to replace him in the match. Confined to a wheelchair, Nash was helpless as he watched Shelley lose the match to Chris Sabin. Nash remained out of action due to the injury (Nash was actually re-negotiating his contract with TNA), but returned prior to Bound for Glory, and announced The Kevin Nash Open Invitational X Division Gauntlet Battle Royal. Austin Starr won the match. Nash took an interest in Starr, which seemed to be at the behest of Alex Shelley
Kevin Nash then worked with the X Division stars in a weekly segment known as the Paparazzi Championship Series (a play on the “Bowl Championship Series”). Despite being portrayed as a heel, Nash’s amusing appearances in the PCS and occasional guest commentary turned him into a face. He also began continuing these skits along with Dutt and Lethal, in a segment called “Paparazzi Idol”. Nash became a manager of sorts for Jay Lethal, helping him adopt a gimmick where he impersonates “Macho Man” Randy Savage.
At Sacrifice 2007, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt had an altercation. Nash broke it up, but Sonjay kicked him. Sonjay apologized, and Nash forgave him. Dutt then became the “Guru” with Nash humming mantras backstage. Since then, he announced his intentions to begin managing the Motor City Machine Guns, but would actually next appear in the role of Dr. Nash, “psychiatrist” and adviser to Kurt and Karen Angle.
Nash then engaged in a small program with TNA Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle, which eventually culminated in Nash aiding Angle. Nash warned the Angles about how dangerous Sting can be based on Nash’s experience feuding with Sting in WCW and claimed that “the man’s a demon”. At Bound for Glory, Nash interfered on Kurt Angle’s behalf during his World Title defense against Sting. However, it was for naught, as Sting captured the title from Angle via Scorpion Death Drop after fending off Nash and Angle’s wife, Karen. The following Thursday on Impact!, Nash and Angle had an altercation because Angle blamed Nash for him losing the World Title. Angle would eventually attack Nash but Nash would have the last laugh, jackknife powerbombing Angle in the middle of the ring.
The following week, Sting would defend the TNA World Title against Angle in a rematch from Bound For Glory, and Nash would have a ringside seat. Near the conclusion, Angle pushed Sting into Nash, and Sting punched Nash after landing in his lap. Nash would eventually recover, and jump onto the apron, only to be met by Sting. The referee attempted to break up the fight, but Angle caused the ref to be knocked out, and at the same time, was able to hit the Olympic Slam to gain the victory, and the World Title. Following the match, Nash offered a hand shake to Angle only to be “flipped off” by the new champ. An enraged Nash demanded a match with Angle, but TNA Management’s public face, Jim Cornette, instead booked Nash into a tag team match as Angle’s partner against Sting and a partner of his choosing, with the stipulation being that the person that gains the pinfall or submission would be crowned the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. After a red herring that Scott Hall was the mystery partner, it was revealed to be Booker T.
At Final Resolution Nash and his partner Samoa Joe lost in a title match to TNA World Tag Team Champions Tomko and A.J. Styles after Nash abandoned and seemingly betrayed Joe. But the following Impact, when Joe stormed into Nash’s locker room looking for a fight, Nash was actually able to persuade Joe into accepting his Machiavellian mentorship. Kevin Nash lost to Kurt Angle in a one on one match on TNA Impact! on the 28th February.
