WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently spoke on his podcast, “Kliq This,” about a variety of professional wrestling topics including the reason Scott Hall felt uncomfortable working with Goldust in WWE:
“He was very uncomfortable,” Nash said. “They did the Goldust angle. He unzips his singlet, Goldust the character does, and there’s a heart, and on the heart, it says Razor. Scott’s son, Cody, was like five years old when that angle played. He came home and Cody said, ‘Dad, why does that mean?'” Nash continued, “Scott, who wasn’t a homophobe, told Vince, he goes, ‘If I have to go home and explain this to my kid’, because you can’t just say, ‘Oh, well, you know, some men.’ I mean, you have to go into that whole, you know, and so Scott just said, ‘I don’t feel comfortable doing it.’ That’s all it was. It wasn’t that Scott was a homophobe. Scott just didn’t want to teach his five year old kid about homosexuality where now it’s a different world.”
Hall was on the original WrestleMania 12 posters, but he was left off the card because his angle with Goldust was scrapped. This was also around the time when he was on his way out of WWE and on his way to WCW.
