WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently took to an episode of his Kliq This podcast, where he discussed a variety of topics such as how the German Suplex is a dangerous maneuver because it can break necks.
Kevin Nash said:
“Nobody got hurt until the German. Nobody ever broke their neck when I first broke in. But then all of a sudden that German Suplex comes in.”
Kevin Nash also talked about how he dislikes the Knife Edge chop as well and how he used to like them when Ricky The Dragon Steamboat would do the move similar to a Steven Seagal-ish chop.
Kevin Nash said:
“Jericho and Danielson had that match in AEW, where I lost count. I just don’t get it. I lost count. Why is it ‘I give you one. You sell it. You give me one. I sell it?’ Why is it ‘I give you one. You sell it. You give me one. I sell it?’ I used to like when Ricky The Dragon Steamboat would send them off [the rope] and drop to one knee and do like a Steven Seagal-ish chop.”
Kevin Nash also talked about how WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair would use the Knife Edge chop and follow it up with a punch.
Kevin Nash said:
“Our management just immediately outlawed that [the knife edge chop.] When you chop somebody [for real] that’s right below using a handgun. The list goes ‘Firearm, knife edge chop. Ric would chop me, but Ric would always follow it up with a punch. Chop. Punch. So the chop could give him a chance to fire his f punch. But they’re not doing that [anymore.] There’s psychology for why it would or wouldn’t work.”
Kevin Nash then talked about how piledrivers is another dangerous maneuver as it almost paralyzed WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Kevin Nash said:
“Piledrivers are another one. I mean that almost paralyzed Steve [Austin.] I’ve never given one. I don’t take backdrops and I don’t give backdrops. There are certain things you have to do in order to f***** have a pro-wrestling match. Like running the ropes is one of them.”
