"Fantastic. Kevin Nash, smart guy, funny guy, he's a character, an intelligent guy, knew how to navigate his way through the business but Kevin gave us an opportunity. Kevin was willing to work with us. We were green guys, a lot of old timers didn't want to work with us. Kevin wanted to work with us, taught us a lot, inside and outside the ring. We had a lot of great times with him and just a lot of fun. Everything from the matches to the travel and road life, we learned a lot from Kevin, had a lot of fun with him. He's a good person and I really appreciated what he did for us," Palumbo said.
