Full Kevin Nash Biography
Kevin Scott Nash (born July 9, 1959 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American professional wrestler and actor. Nash has wrestled under various ring names for World Championship Wrestling, the World Wrestling Federation/ World Wrestling Entertainment, and currently, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
Nash debuted in WCW as the orange-mohawked "Steel", one half of the tag team known as the "Master Blasters". He was initially partnered with "Iron", who was later replaced by "Blade". The Master Blasters disbanded within a year. In May 1991, Nash was repackaged as the silver-haired "Oz", a character based on the Wizard of Oz from the 1900 children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Oz, managed by Merlin the Wizard, was pushed strongly throughout early 1991; he squashed several wrestlers before losing to Ron Simmons at the Great American Bash on July 14.
Diesel won the Intercontinental Championship from Razor Ramon, on April 13, 1994 in Rochester, New York following interference from Michaels. The duo defeated The Headshrinkers to win the WWF Tag Team Championship on August 28, 1994 in Indianapolis, Indiana. On August 29, 1994 in Chicago, Illinois, Ramon defeated Diesel to regain the WWF Intercontinental Championship. The alliance between Diesel and Michaels became strained after Michaels accidentally superkicked Diesel on several occasions, and the duo finally split after another miscued superkick at Survivor Series 1994. On November 23, 1994, Diesel and Michaels vacated the WWF World Tag Team Championship, and Diesel went on to turn face.The MSG Incident.
After Sting won Giant's half of the tag team titles at the Great American Bash that June, Nash became Sting's partner. They would defend the championships until July 20, 1998 when they were defeated by Hall and the Giant. Nash then set his sights on his former partner, and the rivalry came to a head at Halloween Havoc on October 25, 1998. During the course of the match, Nash jackknifed Hall twice, but instead of pinning him left the ring, taking a count-out loss.
The next month at World War 3, Nash entered the 60-man, three ring battle royal that was a staple of the pay-per-view, with the winner getting a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade the following month. Nash survived to the end, and earned his shot at the title.
Nash and Scott Hall were reunited on February 20, 2004 when they teamed together in a loss to Christopher Daniels and Tom Howard at the fifth Ultimate Pro Wrestling anniversary show. On May 8, 2004, Nash and Hall traveled to Japan to wrestle for the Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX promotion. They were defeated by Naoya Ogawa and Shinya Hashimoto in the main event of Hustle-3 in the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama.
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.
At No Surrender, Kurt and Nash had an altercation before Kurt's world title defense against Abyss. Within the month, they had forgiven each other. 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.
He also has appeared in two movies in 2006, DOA: Dead or Alive as Bass Armstrong and in Grandma's Boy.
He made guest appearances in three different TV shows as well. He appeared on one episode each of The Love Boat: The Next Wave (episode "Captains Courageous") and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (episode "The Crucible") and in two episodes of Nikki as The Big Easy (episodes "Gimme Shelter" and "Stealing Nikki").
Nash has a son, Tristen, who was born in June 12, 1996 with his wife, Tamara. The couple wed in 1989 and separated in 2000 but have since reconciled. Nash dated WCW Nitro Girl Chae from the late 90s to 2002.
He is friends with Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and Paul Levesque (Triple H), the former of whom was instrumental in Nash's WWF signing in 1993. They formed the backstage faction known as the Clique. |
