WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently took to an episode of his Kliq This podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including his time with TNA Wrestling and what led to him leaving the company in 2010.
Nash said, “I think…I mean I worked hard there. I was in good shape. I think the Main Event Mafia thing could have been, that was money. They let [Booker T], it was a bad move to let Book go. Once Book left, I said, ‘F**k it, I’m bolting.’ I heard Book was gonna be at that Royal Rumble, I said, ‘S***, not without me.’ So I died my s*** black, went out there….”
On how Scott Hall would tell him not to smarten up fellow workers:
“Yeah…once you know what’s up, you have to be part of the process. All you need is one person that’s good at it. I promise you, the guy that’s good at it doesn’t want to look f**king bad at it. I remember Scott [Hall] would always be like, ‘Don’t smarten him up.’ Like dude, we gotta work with him. What do you mean, don’t smarten him up? ‘Don’t say anything when he’s got your f***ing job.’ Yeah, Scott would always be like, ‘Man, don’t f***ing smarten him up.’ Like you’re the one that’s got the brain.”
