Kevin Nash Chat Moderator (Speaker)
Welcome everyone, the nWo's own Kevin Nash is here to take your questions.
KSweet16 (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash - you once said you would rather have a sex change than go to WCW. I was just wondering how you've liked the last 18 months, and if after all the current controversy, you wish you could have your penis back.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You're scaring me talking about my penis
Michigan SW (Prodigy Member)
Could you take us through what happened with Syxx?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I had a long talk with Eric. Eric informed me that he has people he has to answer to. It was coincidental that the backstage controversy and the discontinuing of his contract came within 24 hours of each other. Syxx is a very talented performer and I know he'll land on his feet.

ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, thank you for joining. Internet rumors over the past few days state that you asked WCW President Eric Bischoff for your release from WCW on Thursday, 3/12. Is this ture? Can you comment on it? Thank you.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
In the heat of the argument I asked for my release. He said "Are you crazy, you're not going anywhere, you're locked for 4 years, I'll send you to Poland before I send you to Vince." I replied...."They love me in Poland".
infamus (Prodigy Member)
Are you sorry you left the WWF to go to WCW? wouldnt you rather be a part of DX?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I think the NWO angle is one of the strongest angles in wrestling history. Since Scott, myself, and Hulk started this thing it would be very difficult to pull out. Plus...and I'm not sure that Vince could pay me what I'm making here, which is serious bank. This to me, is a business...and I hate to say it, but the bottom line is dollars.
SCStunner98 (Prodigy Member)
Thanks for taking the time to join us, right before a PPV event. There's another internet rumor going around, that you are threatening to buy out the remainder of your WCW/nWo contract (reportedly worth $500,000). Can you say anything to confirm or dispel that rumor?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
If I was only making $500,000 there might be some legitimacy in that question. Since I'm making a lot more than that, I'd have to ask Turner to buy me out of this thing.
SCStunner98 (Prodigy Member)
When/how did you find out about the termination of Sean Waltman (Syxx), and what was your initial reaction?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I found out Monday that the letter had been sent. Syxx is one of my closest friends. I was irate.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, thank you for joining us. Internet rumors recently state you have an out cluase in your contract where you can leave for $500,000. Is this true?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
That's not true
IwantNASH (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, I gotta say... The Wolfpac isnt the same with out Syxx. I hope Bishoff gets his "stuff" together and gets Syxx back, and I really hope you dont buy out the rest of your contract and go to WWF.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I talked to Eric after everything calmed down. He said that Syxx would always have a place here. His spot was not gone. He could come back. Syxx has not signed with Titan, and there is still a possibility that he will be back with the Wolfpak.
KevsBabe (Prodigy Member)
Hi Kev, What do you think about the "new" Shawn Michaels image, and do you both still keep in touch with one another?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I talk to Shawn usually once a month. Most of our conversations are on a personal level. I'm more concerned about Shawn's health right now than anything.
SHovanJEP (Prodigy Member)
Hey thanks for coming Mr. Nash. I recently read in the torch that Hogan and Bischoff brought you into a private meeting to talk about "things" Does hogan have MOST the controll in WCW?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Hogan definitely has a lot of power. With the numbers he's been delivering headlining PPV's it's a warranted power. I just am not used to playing backup. I think I have a pretty good voice myself.
KSweet16 (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash - do you still talk frequently with Shawn Michaels, and if so, what has he told you about the condition of his back? Do you think he'll be physically able to work at WrestleMania?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Shawn's a pro. He'll be at Wrestlemania and he'll give whatever he's got...which knowing him will be worth buying the PPV.
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
I'm sorry to hear about what Bischoff did to Syxx. When your contract expires, any chances of a Kliq reunion in the WWF?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
If someday the Kliq were to reunite...in what federation we don't know....the s*** will be on.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, thank you for your time today prior to your match with the Giant. Please compare for us working for Vincent K. McMahon and Eric Bischoff. Others have made comparisons and we'd like to hear what you have to say.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Working for the WWF things are laid out six months in advance. You're more worried about details than you are about substance. Booking here is a lot looser. It's more of a helter/skelter situation...but it's proven successful.
IwantNASH (Prodigy Member)
I have a huge Tribute to Kevin Nash on my web page, from Steel to Current Big Sexy Giant Killer. What do I have to do to get you to visit my site and look at your tribute?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Teach me how to work a computer.
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
With Syxx gone, does this make the chances of the Wolfpack ever breaking off from the nWo slim or nil?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Syxx isn't gone yet.
ChrisMurray (Prodigy Member)
Mr. Nash, I appreciate you taking the time to chat with us prior to Uncensored. Is there any heat between yourself (and Scott Hall) against people like Hollywood Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Also, why do you believe Sean Waltman was actually terminated? Thank you for your time.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I don't think the word is "heat", I think it's more of a difference of opinion. Scott and I had a long talk with Hulk and we've decided to make money together.
IwantNASH (Prodigy Member)
If Syxx goes to the WWF, will he keep the name Syxx or go back to 1-2-3 Kid, real name?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You'd have to ask Syxx
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
What do you think of Jim Cornette' comments about you a couple of months back ago on RAW?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Cornette is entitled to his opinion. I think Jim Cornette's biggest problem is he's secretly in love with me, and would like to challenge me to an apartment wrestling match. The proverbial banana on a pole match.
KSweet16 (Prodigy Member)
If it were up to you, what direction would you like to see the nWo go in next? Do you feel that Hogan has taken your vehicle for stardom, and would you like to have a feud with him in the future?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'll stay over no matter what. I'm just too damn funny to keep on the back burner. Maybe an HBO half hour comedy deal.
kozcdiy (Prodigy Member)
How often do you work out at the gym? When your on the road where do you usually workout?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Work out 4-5 times a week. I just find whatever gym I can in whatever city I'm in.
UnforgivenPM (Prodigy Member)
I know you must make a great deal of money in WCW, but when does the money surpass treatment of friends and respect? Any truth to the rumors that the Mexicans are not longer allowed to work Mexico?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I don't know what the deal is with the Mexicans. I know Eric was concerned they might get hurt down there.
SyxxPacBF (Prodigy Member)
Is there any chance of you going back to the WWF when your new contract ends?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Techlight17 (Prodigy Member)
Do you feel that Vince McMahon has done well with the WWF after you, Scott Hall, and Bret Hart all left, in other words worked well with what he has?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Vince has done a great job with a limited talent roster. I think Vince is back at the top of his game right now.
SyxxPacBF (Prodigy Member)
I have two questions. One. Do you still keep up with the happenings in the WWF? Two. Do you have Prodigy? If not, I suggest you sign up.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have AOL at my house. I have friends in the WWF and keep up with what's happening.
JDaveW (Prodigy Member)
When will you have the WORLD TITLE, Champ?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have to have a title shot before I get the belt.
Wiccan Witch (Prodigy Member)
Kevin Nash, is the wrestling business everything you expected it to be? or was it kind of a let down?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Like in any business there's going to be ups and downs. It's proven to be beneficial from a monetary sense. I just have a different perception of where the business should go.
FlyerJon (Prodigy Member)
Hey Kev. Was the NWO a creation of Scott Hall & Kevin Nash, or were Hogan and Bischoff involved from the begining?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Eric actually came up with the concept. Scott and I with Eric put the groundwork together, while Hulk was making a movie. When the controversy came on who the 3rd person would be, the only person any of us could come up with with the impact that Scott and I had jumping was Hulk.
soltis (Prodigy Member)
The introduction to the diciple in the nwo has made an impact some people don't like. some fans know that brutus "the barber"/diciple wanted to be in the nwo but you wouldn't let him. so now who decided to bring him in?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
We never said we didn't want him in the NWO. Hulk felt it was too predictable in the beginning.
NeutronSTAR (Prodigy Member)
You seem to have accomplished so much in pro-wrestling, what's left for you? What would you like to see yourself doing over the next few years?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'd like a run as world champion. I'd like to be able to add more entertainment to professional wrestling. I think humor is missing from professional wrestling.
DLA BSTGK LS (Prodigy Member)
Was there a reason for the firing, or was it just Eric Bischoff drunk with power?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You have to know Eric Bischoff to understand why he did what he did. Eric was very angry at Scott and I and I feel that the firing of Syxx was to put us in our place. By the same token in retrospect Eric kept the door open for Syxx.
FlyerJon (Prodigy Member)
Later in the same HHH interview he says, "People want to talk about [DX] being the NWO or whatever. The NWO has peaked. You've seen as much as you are going to see. You've seen the best those athletes can give you. You've seen the most creative things they're going to give you." Do you believe any of these remarks may be correct?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I know I've still got a lot in my brain. Ways to make the NWO stronger and the storyline better. I don't think we've peaked, I think we've plateaued until we peak again.
AZ Wildcat34 (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, you and the Giant have been in battle many times, Will u Jacknife him, even though there is that rule that says no Powerbombs allowed?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
If I can stick him...I'll stick him
FabulousKen (Prodigy Member)
Who was the genius that came up with the Oz gimmick?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Dusty Rhodes
FabulousKen (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, today is my birthday. Can I get a Happy Birthday from you?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Happy Birthday...I hope it's just a cold sore and nothing more.
TheLariat (Prodigy Member)
How do you feel about Hogan not wanting you and Hall to be "cool" heels, but then he goes out and does all of the things that you guys were doing and that got you over as cool to begin with?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Being cool isn't an act. I didn't get the nickname Big Daddy Cool from the guys in the lockerroom as a marketing ploy.
TheLariat (Prodigy Member)
Do you find it ironic that Vince McMahon screwed Bret Hart out of fear he would not show up to drop the WWF Title when he continues to put belts on Shawn Michaels, the guy who loses his belts because he loses his smile?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I think the Bret/Vince angle was a work.
SyxxDxGH (Prodigy Member)
What do you think of the phenom that is known as Hacksaw Jim Duggan?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Say what you want about Jim Duggan...he stays over
ClioquesBarr (Prodigy Member)
Kevin- On a recent addition of WCW Internet Insiders Scott Hall stated that Wrestlemania could be Shawn Michaels last match in wrestling. Have you spoken to Shawn at all or been given any indication that Wrestlemania could be his last match?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Shawn's pretty beat up and his doctor and Shawn are the only ones that can say if it's his last match. I know he's going to take some time off after Wrestlemania.
SyxxDxGH (Prodigy Member)
How come you all can't do crotch chops on camera, but Hogan can talk about Liz screwin the guys in the lockeroom?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
You'll have to ask the higher powers.
UncensoredBA (Prodigy Member)
Can you comment on the alleged heat between you and the Giant?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have no heat with the Giant. If he doesn't like me, I guess that makes every guy in the business.
StoneCold JD (Prodigy Member)
Is it true that you were promised a World Title in your contract within your 1st year? If so, what is Eric Bishcoff's excuse for that not happening?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
No
KevTheGrad (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, any chance of you acknowledging the long time NWO-ites from prodigy tonight on the PPV? Perhaps a tug on your ear, one strap down, or shouting "Hey Prodigy NWO-ites!"? Just asking.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'll adjust myself deep and hard...just for you guys.
Jon360 (Prodigy Member)
How do you feel about the WWF's current product and direction?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I don't get a chance to watch enough to have an opinion. They are still doing decent ratings.
Mega Jr (Prodigy Member)
Yo, whats up Mr. Nash, and thanks for taking some time out to talk to us. I just got one question... What are your feelings about Eric Bishoff after the knowledge of how he has treated his employees in the past, termination wise, and well, now with Sean??
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
All I can say is I definitely wouldn't want his job.
Georgie711 (Prodigy Member)
Kevin how many more years do you have on WCW contract, are you happy there?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
3 years 9 months. I'm ecstatic.
Mega Jr (Prodigy Member)
Hey Big Sexy, don't you just wanna beat the hell outta Eric Bishoff, hehe
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I'd give him the beating of his life.
Mega Jr (Prodigy Member)
this isn't a question, but a comment. I would just like to say Good luck in the future.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Thanks
MondySunday (Prodigy Member)
Do you like Bret Hart. I know him and Shawn Michaels didn't like each other too much and your friends with Shawn so do you have the same feelings about Bret that Shawn does?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I have never had any personal heat with Bret and have never had anything but a great match with the guy.
KatsKorner (Prodigy Member)
Do you want a shot at the World Heavy Weight Title, and will it matter if an NWO member holds it, even if its Scott Hall?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I wouldn't wrestle Scott...that's my boy.
Kliq 316 (Prodigy Member)
Is it true that You, Hall, Flair, Benoit, Giant, Melinko, Guerro, and almost all the luchadors want out of WCW??
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Scott and I aren't going anywhere. Eric made that very clear. As for the rest of them, I haven't spoken to them.
TWNPNashNWO (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, are those internet rumors saying that you have an out-clause in your contract true.?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
No
Redwings25DM (Prodigy Member)
Kevin, Just wanted to say you are by far the most interesting guy in WCW. You are great in the ring and on the mic. Not to mention big and sexy! My question is, how much longer can you stand to be around Hogan before you just have to take him out?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
30 seconds

Hitman0000 (Prodigy Member)
How is your relationship with Scott Hall, how do you feel about him getting a title shot?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Scott is my best friend, along with Syxx, Hunter, and Shawn. Anytime any of my friends are put in the limelight, I'm happy.
Redwings25DM (Prodigy Member)
Is Bischoff really such a pud that he would fire Sean because he is mad at another wrestler?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Let's just say Eric has an explosive temper
rod tha bod (Prodigy Member)
How did it feel to be power bomed by the giant and does it still hurt?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Can anybody take the powerbomb sweeter than me?
Solo26 (Prodigy Member)
Any more acting in your future?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I just signed a 10 picture deal with Vivid Video
AmercanDream (Prodigy Member)
if you were in the wwf would you join degeneration X?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Yes
OhCanadaMV (Prodigy Member)
Do you think Bischoff's placing of himself in the nWo has hurt the angle? When the angle started, it was more of an intimidating heel group... but now, it's more of a joke. I think his presence has hurt Hogan... and maybe the rest of the group, because, since Bischoff associates himself with Hogan in the angle... Hogan gets the top push, so Eric can get himself some quality camera time. And, the match... oh boy. Next time you see Eric, tell him to invest in some T-shirts.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I thought Eric did a pretty good job for his first match.
Cryer John (Prodigy Member)
What do you really think of Eric? He's your boss, but tell the truth.
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I get along with Eric on a personal level. We disagree a lot on a professional level.
NWO4LIFE (Prodigy Member)
how's ur health, Kevin, are you 100% now?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
My right knee is still screwed up. I came back too soon.
hey jerky (Prodigy Member)
do you think WCW has done a poor job with Louie Spicolli's death?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I miss Louie
OhCanadaMV (Prodigy Member)
Kevin... when you and Rey Misterio used to go to the bar... who won the shot-for-shot contests?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Me
BrEt 6 13 (Prodigy Member)
Who is your favorite boss, Mcmahon or Bischoff
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
They both have their strong points.
SHovanJEP (Prodigy Member)
The people Eric said he has to answer to ..is that Hollywood Hogan?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
No, it's higher than that
NJLigerNJ (Prodigy Member)
Kevin - You once said that having the WWF title was better than prison sex. What did you mean by this?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Wanna be my cellmate?
TWNPNashNWO (Prodigy Member)
What are your thoughts on Tyson joining DX?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Is this question in any way related to the prison sex question?
MidNyteRider (Prodigy Member)
What's the relationship between you and Flair now?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
I've always respected Ric Flair. He's a true Icon.
NeutronSTAR (Prodigy Member)
Has Eric ever considered giving you guys a spot to lighten things up like you did with the "Arn Anderson" thing?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Mark Madden and I are currently writing a funny little script involving the Giant.
WiCkEd VaTo (Prodigy Member)
do you see a Hollywood Hogan vs Kevin Nash match in the future?
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
Absolutely
Kevin Nash (Speaker)
That's all the time I have right now. I have to go get ready for the PPV. Seeya!
