As someone whose only knowledge about Kevin Nash is from shoot interviews and Yea Forums, was he good for the business?

Nah he was always a shitter carried by his friends.

>Revived WWF's MSG attendance from 100k gates in 1993 to 300+k gates with him on top on his way out the door
>Towards the end of his WWF run, Diesel had really come into his own as a performer. Ahead of the curve, his anti-establishment persona which was arguably the precursor to Stone Cold, was ground breaking in the cartoon/occupation New Generation Era.
>In their autobiographies, Steve Austin & Mick Foley credit Nash with helping them get hired by WWF
>Many performers have drawn money but how many can legitimately say they were responsible for making the genre cool? Nash was at the forefront of the coolest, most popular & socially acceptable era in the history of the business.
>Wrestling in the mid 90's was not cool. The cartoon era was passe with teenagers & young adults thinking it was dumb. When Hall and Nash came out they were coming out with cool music, they were dressing cool. That was from the influence The Outsiders... no one else.
>Nash was the catalyst that sparked WCW's ratings dominance over WWF in the Monday Night War which kicked off the late 90's pro wrestling boom period, lead to WCW becoming the #1 promotion in the world & give the kick up the backside WWF needed to create the Attitude Era.
>Nash was a key player on screen & one of the behind the scenes architects of arguably the greatest angle & faction in pro wrestling history. Many of the booking ideas that propelled WCW's rise came from Nash (& Hall).
>"Nash & Hall could have blown by Hogan they really could've but they accepted him with open arms, & made him cool. They could have ostracised him pretty easily because Hulk wasn't cool." - Kevin Sullivan

>Nash was influential behind pro wrestling's shift to more reality based content. At the time rap music, especially East Coast rap music & the Death Row/Suge Knight label had become very crossover. White boys were now listening to it. Tupac bandana wearing Nash knew the demographic had changed & tried to crossover.
>Nash revolutionized the babyface/heel dynamic; WCW merchandised nWo, heel fans were encouraged - it was pioneering.
>Nash leaving WWF was instrumental in Vince McMahon's decision to start offering downside guaranteed contracts to all his talent.
>A shrewd businessman; Nash's role in increasing the pay scale of the industry was significant. Without Nash doing some of the things he did, the business wouldn't be as lucrative for some of the guys as it was & still is today e.g. Eddie Guerrero wouldn't have made $509,553 in 1999.
>Nash redefined what a giant in pro wrestling could be.
>Despite being vilified by sheet writers who manipulated marks into believing he was a scumbag that couldn't work & didn't draw, Nash was a mostly a good guy, a tremendous worker for his size & drew big money.
>Nash is a success story; transcending beyond the genre & making headway in Hollywood. He's a good mainstream representative for the business.
Anthony Anderson
Nah lel Scott carried him in practically all the promos. Nash had retarded great khali tier physique so he couldn't really wrestle without injuring his quads and shit. He just appeared on the right time in the right place.

"I'm going to tell how smart they (Hall & Nash) were. They could have blown by Hogan they really could've but they accepted him with open arms, & made him cool. They could have ostracized him pretty easily because Hulk wasn't cool. They next day we're doing interviews. He used to come to the building Levi jeans, his very expensive cowboy boots, cutoff shirt with his pythons showing & the durag. When he becomes nWo, they day we are doing interviews he comes with baggy shorts, sneakers on & a hat on backwards. Here's the funny thing Nash & Hall were two of the easiest guys I ever worked with because they just wanted to make money. And we looked at each other & everybody was biting their lips. Hogan just come out of the wayback machine & got with it, & Hall & Nash could have ribbed him into being really ridiculous. Some times I wonder if I put Kevin & Scott over too much but they did revolutionize the business & again I'm putting them over because a lot of people don't put them over & knock them, I was there for everything. They said to themselves we can make a lot more money with this guy if we bring him up to speed." - Kevin Sullivan

>Triple H
"He had a great in-ring career, he did a lot of things that were revolutionary that changed the industry that heavily impacted the business. His influence shaped the business that WWE is today"
>Shawn Michaels
"Without Kevin Nash there would be no nWo. Without nWo there would be no DX. Everybody in WWE now has a guaranteed contract because of the actions of Kevin Nash & Scott Hall"
>Beth Pheonix
"Kevin Nash exuded this superstar charisma. The way he walked and talked, he had a lot of appeal and he really went against the grain & kind of walked his own path, & I think his popularity with the fans took him to World championship levels in both companies"
>Jim Ross
"He's one of the top players without question, he was a catalyst, & was involved in some of the biggest nights of the 90's. You can't look at the top stars of the 90's without including Kevin Nash & you really can't do it honestly without putting him near the top of the list"

>Sting
"Kevin Nash is an innovator, a creative guy, smart, funny, talented, could probably write his own sitcom I mean he's real witty. I think he alongside Scott Hall changed WCW, I think they're responsible for that"
>Michael Hayes
"I think Kevin Nash redefined what a giant was because all of a sudden he made a giant hip & cool"
>Booker T
"Just his stance alone, how much revenue he drew in this business, how big of a star Kevin Nash was & still is, I think he has to be ranked in top 5 big men of all time"
>Wade Keller
"WCW legitimately sold out the 5,000 red & black NWO t-shirts in Auburn Hills last week. The story going around was that WCW only sold 3 black & white NWO shirts"
David Rogers
They used to say he booked his own divorce.

Carson Taylor
They're making fun of Hogan for wearing cowboy boots while Nash wears these...
Brandon Campbell
One of the best big men and most charismatic on the mic.
