#5 Kevin Nash thought his mistake would get him fired from WWE
Former WWE Champion Kevin Nash recently spoke to Stone Cold Steve Austin on Broken Skull Sessions. Nash talked about the time he thought he would be released by Vince McMahon for having a bad match due to drinking too much alcohol.
Nash, formerly known as Diesel, said he had had a bad match on a Europe tour. When Vince McMahon called him to his house after he had returned to the US from the tour, he thought it was to fire him. However, the real reason was very different.
“I’m like, ‘Well, I f****d up so bad he wants to fire me in person,’” Nash said. “He ain’t gonna FedEx me, he’s gonna fire me in person. So I’m thinking like, ‘Vince is gonna fire me.’ So of course Vince gets busy, I fall asleep on his couch in his house. He walks in, looks at me, and goes, ‘Damn, make yourself comfortable.’ I sit up, he’s like, ‘Come on, let’s go by the pool.’”
Interestingly, soon after this incident, Kevin Nash won the WWE Championship from Bob Backlund in a match that did not even last a minute.
