Nash’s style of wrestling gets very boring real quick. That’s what happens when your skills and ability are limited and usually need others to carry you to have a good match constantly. One thing about Nash I’ll admit is that he’s one of the few wrestlers to have a bodyguard gimmick who went on to greater things while the majority of bodyguard wrestlers end up getting lost in the shuffle or either fired.
I talk about Wrestling like it’s beneath me? That must be why I’ve reviewed so many DVD’s and own essentially all of them. If it’s a bad event I will say bad things, it’s that simple. Why should I lie?
I think Nash, like most wrestlers just got tired over the years. His work with Undertaker, Bret Hart and HBK in 94/95/96 was great. But, focusing solely on his return around 2002/2003 made me question if I was even looking at the same guy. Funny to me that when NWO returned at NWO2002 even Hogan had more fire than Nash and WWE obviously agrees since Hogan and Hall were on the WM18 card and Nash was left out.
omg buddy. Why you guys still letting this guy do reviews? He always talks about wrestling like its beneath him. Are you a fan or not? Boo this man..boooooo
Spike you completely missed my point. I didnt put him in the same category. I’m saying that its good to have someone like him with a different style so that people like Shawn and Bret had the monster to work against and tell a good story. I’m a massive Bret Hart fan, not so much a Nash fan, but I think its good to have different styles. Thats just my opinion. He’s not in the same category. But I’m saying there is nothing wrong with a smash mouth style like his and if everyone had the same style then nothing stands out and everything seems dull. Shawn and Bret both had good matches against Nash and they carried him, but it takes two to wrestle a good match. Just because he’s limited doesn’t mean he’s not good at what he does do.
@Anonymous: How can you put Kevin Nash in the same category as Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels?? Those two guys could hold their own when it came to having a good match while Kevin Nash, a guy for most of his entire career had to be carried through a good match. Hulk Hogan on the other hand, wasn’t a great wrestler but he had good in ring psychology and could work well with bigger guys and still be entertaining. Kevin Nash was decent to mediocre but he always took the shortcut and shat on people that worked hard …
There is nothing wrong with Kevin Nash. Its such a shame every thing has to fit in the same mould now. I’ve watched wrestling since 1990 and to me his style is welcome. An exciting match with lots of high spots means nothing if you can’t tell a story. It has to be believeable. And Kevin Nash is a very real wrestler. It not hard to believe he could beat someone up. I feel there is room for that. Same goes for people like Mark Henry. It makes the real stars stand out more when their opponent doesnt look the same as everyone else. Shawn Michaels made his name wrestling big guys remember? Bret Hart to an extent too. And Hogan’s most iconic moment was when he wrestled Andre. I think today’s wrestling fan has a very short sighted view. In many ways, less is more.
Scott Hall should be in there. His problems outside the ring don’t alter the fact that he was one of the biggest stars in the WWF. Regarding the hell in a cell match I actually really enjoyed it. It was more like a real fight and a ‘slobber knocker’ or ‘slug fest’. I Triple H got the best out of Nash in this one. I think he’s had a lot of injury problems and the matches with Hunter were his first big matches in that run, as well as his last. Although I did find Triple H as World Heavyweight Champion to be extremely dull. I found the Evolution storyline to be extremely dull. The best part for me was when they split up. That was the whole point of it no doubt, to build stars in Orton and Batista. But this was probably one of the last ppvs I enjoyed before wwe really started to suck in my opinion. I was happy when Goldberg won the belt, but it was really baldy done and again it was boring how Evolution kept getting the better of Goldberg. Really didnt make sense either. I’m not a huge fan of any of them, but its no wonder Bill left.
I don’t think things were too bad at this point, but shortly after they announced Triple H vs. Goldberg at Summerslam, the CANCELLED it and put on an elimination chamber match where the old goldberg would have run through them all. He does that but only to Triple H pins him at the end. Not saying goldberg had to win, but the way it was done undermined everything about Goldberg’s character and there was no way back after that, even when they gave him the belt.
But regarding this ppv I would say you could do a whole lot worse. Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair, Nash vs. Triple H and Goldberg vs. Jericho are all pretty good in my view. Plus you get an RVD match, but its a shame Scott Steiner couldnt move like he used to during his return to wwe. I agree that everyone was expecting Booker to win too. I remember that was really disappointing and pretty much a sign of thing to come for the newly reinsated IC belt.
@Steven: When it comes to wrestling, I know a good wrestler when I see one & Kevin Nash is not one I would consider a good or great wrestler. Besides, I’m not the one who was going on about wanting to see a Nash dvd. That’s such a joke man. I’d rather see an X-Pac dvd over Nash. At least he was a better wrestler than Nash as well as better matches throughout his entire career.
Nash should’ve won the title I thought at Bad Blood and let him hold the title for a while. That Brad Attitude must hate Nash, Kevin Nash is one of the greats I think. Should be in the Hall of Fame, the only other Kliq member to be in the Hall of Fame will be Nash, Scott Hall and SyxxPac has a slim chance of getting in the Hall of Fame.
This Cell match was definitely okay, hence ** 1/2 (I don’t consider that a bad rating, just mediocre as it’s half way home, or slightly below mediocre due to the fact it’s a cell match and the main event.) I liked the tools spot in the match, some hard bumps. But 5 of 7 heels Went over on the night and it just left a bad taste in people’s mouths for the show to end how it did.
Considering how Nash’s previous world title wins were usually tainted along with his limited in-ring skills, it was best he didnt win the world title … i liked the story being told between nash & hhh but for them to headline three ppvs was a bit too much. i thought their judgment day match was worse than this, that match just lacked intensity and most of all blood … which this match made up for.

I don’t understand how the HBK-Flair WM24 match is overrated…

X-Pac should for sure be in the Hall of Fame one day, a big draw during the attitude era and he was a great aerial talent in both WWF and WCW

john cena vs randy orton in hell in a cell was just a weird match.
