WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin had fellow WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash as the latest guest on his Broken Skull Sessions podcast, which is now available to watch on Peacock and the WWE Network. During his appearance on Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions podcast, Kevin Nash spoke about how he as well as fellow WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall jumped ship from the WWE to WCW and how the fans and Eric Bischoff believed they would put Vince McMahon and the WWE out of business.
Kevin Nash said:
“So, we’re flying back that night, and Bischoff goes ‘We’re gonna put Vince [McMahon] out of business.'” “I said, ‘Dude, do you realize what happened tonight? The perception that two guys from WWE jumped ship and are going to take over your company — the people believe that. They think two guys can beat 100. No, you’re not gonna put him out of business. He’ll sit back and watch it.’ Hogan said the same thing, that’s what Vince did. Vince sat back and watched.”
Kevin Nash then talked about remembering the day things changed for the WWE, which is the day he knew the WWE would beat WCW.
Kevin Nash said:
“And I won’t forget the day in my life when Tyson came to WrestleMania [14].” “Every WrestleMania match had a movie quality trailer in front of it, in case you hadn’t been watching, you were caught up. Kane was shooting fire, everybody — it was amazing. The next day I go to TV, and I just knew. You know, man, you watch something, you’re smart to the business.”
“I walked by [Kevin] Sullivan. He said, ‘Feel that, Nash? Water got a little cold last night, hit an iceberg called WrestleMania.’ [Laughs] He knew, he knew, I knew, anybody who was smart knew that. And all of a sudden [the ratings war] was back and forth. All of sudden it was just like, ‘and the Lakers have won 33 straight.'”
