Kevin Nash Confirms He is Leaving TNA

[#hamler]

All of the following are from Kevin Nash's twitter account.

RealKevinNash 4 days left and I'm done ,hope you that enjouyed me and are left happy .I always did my best with a beaten body. thanks and goodbye.

RealKevinNash no WWE

RealKevinNash 2 my fans thank you I love you. 2 my haters thank you you always made me push harder

RealKevinNash Time to be a husban and dad this part of my life is over.If I'm woprth nothing than I need to stay at home. Thanks TNA 4 letting me go

What could this mean? I've seen Nash go on twitter rants saying he's done but he actually sounds serious. So does this mean he's retired from wrestling? Maybe a possible WWE Hall of Fame induction this year?

Your thoughts...

 

[Rulk25]

Quite coincidental that his last day is right after 10-10-10 it could be a work. Although looking at the way he has been at the last few Impacts he does look to be going through the motions. I really cant see him going to WWE as TNA is the only one with light of schedule he needs.
I can see him being inducted into WWE HOF though perhaps even for the NWO/Outsiders to tie in with WCW theme

 

[Zeven_Zion]

if they let him go, they let him go. One free spot for some young guy to be hired. No biggie.

I'd love to have Nash around, though. But not as a wrestler. Manage somebody, something that involves him talking, he's good on the mic. Other than that, the guy is 50 or 51 years old. Time for him to go. Go be a husband and a dad and an uncle, whatever. I'll miss Nash but I won't shed a tear.

 

[Hundred Dollar Man]

I don't see WWE as really what would they have for him? The guy has had a good run and if he is getting out without being too beat up all the power to him. I hope he has a lot of fun and happiness in retirement, he should have done it years ago.

 

[THTRobtaylor]

Nash as the the Mystery GM would be a nice ending to that angle... Alternatively I could see Kevin as a great colour guy for PPV's... might be a good way to change it up...

As a wrestler, sure, he is done... but I am sure WWE will sign him at least to a legends deal..

 

[Theo Mays]

I like Kevin Nash, but I've learned you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt. He has gone on twitter posting streaks in the past saying he is done. And while this one isn't quite the rage, it still could be Nash working us. He is involved with a decent sized angle on TNA and I'd imagine he is going to give Pope a strong rub just by being at his side. Who knows what this means and if this is truly the end of the road for Big Sexy he had a great run. Numerous world titles and I'd imagine a WWE HOF induction is in his future.

 

[Neiler187]

I'd love to see Nash go to WWE to commentate on Raw with King and Cole, if anyone remembers the Impact where he and Booker T commentated look at how good he was and he would make the announce team easier to listen to

 

[Chess]

Why are we not hearing the wrestling sites confirm or talk about his retirement. I just believe he is adding to the deception angle, even though I wish he would retire.
If he is leaving, why ruin the angle he is involved in by declaring it two days before the PPV.

 

[Immaculate]

You know, I'm not the type who will come out and be 100% positive about something I can't confirm, but this time I'm going too.

THIS IS A WORK! Nash is NOT leaving TNA.

If TNA is begging and throwing money at Sting to stay while he wants to retire, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for Nash who isn't looking to retire. The only way this could be true is if TNA is offering Nash good money and he wants more.

I think Nash is just trying to sell tickets for BFG; billing it as his last wrestling appearance.

What I think will happen is the Abyss termination papers Bishoff asked Dixie to sign, which she didn't read btw b/c Bisch caught her distracted, will turn out to be the termination of Sting and Nash's contract and this will expose Bisch turning on Dixie as she did not OK their terminations and Eric tricked her.

Even though Nash can't wrestle or even break out the jackknife once in a while, he is still valuable to storyline when Hogan/Bisch are involved.

I'm betting Nash is staying and this is all a work.

 

[TheFOUR]

dude i bet his twitter got hacked.........because when he rants he goes all out, doesnt hold anything back, he would have told us more of what was going on than what was put out there with those posts.......not to mention the wolfpack is coming back sunday so yeah i doubt we're going to see Big Sexy leave the DAY AFTER the feud comes to a head.

 

[hatehabsforever]

I don't know guys, with Bound For Glory right around the corner, as in tomorrow, I don't think I would be reading too much into tweets, e-mails, interviews, whatever. Pretty much anything and everything being said at this point could certainly be legitimate, but as well, it's all potentially just a work, a smokescreen to add to the intrigue of 10/10/10. With all due respect to Kevin Nash, he has been known to work the IWC in the past and that's fine, if that's what they do to try to fool the audience to progress a storyline, that's fine, as long as it's only vague and misleading and not downright deceitful (as Dixie Carter tends to do).

I think if Nash were leaving he wouldn't be a part of the group, along with Sting and Pope, in the match this weekend and its potential involvement in either the deception storyline, or "they," or both. Someone else could fill this role if this guy's departure were that imminent. Plus, it seems awfully coincidental to be right on the heels of Bound For Glory.

If it turns out that he is leaving, I hope he gets an appropriate send-off, he's earned it. I doubt he'll go back to WWE as an active wrestler, but he could return to WWE in a backstage, off-camera, mentoring sort of role. And I certainly could see him alone, or along with Scott Hall, entering the WWE Hall of Fame at WM27 in Atlanta. Or remaining behind the scenes in TNA.

I guess like everything else, just let it develop and we'll have some answers (good or bad) tomorrow night.

 

[WzTopHeel]

why wouldnt NASH have told the world he was going to retire earlier and had his last match at BFG? wat a dumbass his last match dont mean crap right? thats why I dont buy into it if ur going to retire then retire but why not have a one on one match


Kevin Nash= Asshole

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

If Nash is really retiring I would just like to say that he has had a great career and he definitely one of the Legends of the Wrestling Business, This will be a Big loss for TNA no matter people say Nash has done alot for the young guys in TNA and he is still very useful. I hope that he could stay involved in some fashion in TNA like working backstage in some capacity. Hopefully he does not retire because I really enjoy Kevin Nash in TNA.

 

[The Crock]

It could be, and most likely is, a work. I wouldn't be surprised if he really was done with wrestling though. He'll probably get inducted into the WWE HOF along with a few other WCW guys, if he really goes. I've seen Nash say so much random shit, though. Just can't believe everything he says. He rants for no reason and then he is all happy the next day, other days he's retiring and others he's wanting to become Champ. You just never know with Kevin Nash.

 

[Fan_of_Wrestling]

4 days? So not Bound for Glory then? He could tape his last matches for on impact... I would love to see him put someone like Samoa Joe (who he reportedly wanted to put over before) in a couple of last singles matches. Give him a real last match, and put over young talent in the process.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Ugh, that sucks. I'm a huge Nash mark, and I for one would assuredly miss him in TNA, no matter how marginal his role.

If this is indeed true, thanks for all the memories Big Sexy!

 

[Rehabilitated]

If Nash is really leaving, could this mean that Paul Heyman actually was signed by TNA?

Heyman wanted to get rid of all the old guys TNA has, with Nash gone that's one down. And also Heyman brings up TNA after it's been dead for a while saying things were very close, just before BFG?

If TNA did sign Heyman, that kind of worries me. He seems a bit radical and I don't think he's all that he's cracked up too be.

Btw, HBK tweeted

Looks like my buddy is gonna b joinin me. I think he will find it 2 b great. Enjoy big Kev. U deserve it.

... Wow. Just wow.

People need to forget about Paul Heyman. He's not coming into TNA until they meet his ludicrous demands and they're doing okay without him.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I wonder if Sting will follow suit too when his contract is up. This may be a work, but if it's not then there really isn't much else for Nash to do in TNA or anywhere else. It sounds like he has enough money and other projects to comfortably retire. Boat drinks Kevin Nash, boat drinks.

Nash's tweets may be true

I hope this is a work tbh. I became a big fan of his really in '94 when he started stomping everyone for titles in the wwe. His matches nowdays are pretty blah sometimes, i can't help but blame his knees for alot of that. But if this is legit I really hate to hear it. I always kinda hoped him and Shawn Michaels would have one more go together before the end for either of them. I honestly only ever turned on tna years ago because i heard hall and nash were there. I ended up liking other things about it but that was the legitimate reason i gave it a chance. Sadly their pairings there never lasted that long. Either way tho, if this is his final curtain then i will miss him and i hope he enjoys it. No matter if you like him or not, the fact that he is always a big conversation topic means he mattered. In the end, that is all you can really ask for as a professional wrestler.

 

[Notorious718]

If Nash is indeed done with TNA after BFG, then I do wonder where this would leave the deception angle seeing as he's a central character in the storyline. I'm guessing may e an injury angle at the PPV to write him off. Shame. Although he'll probably be done as a wrestler, I still think be can do wonders as a manager. He's done a great job giving a good run to Pope just by being in an alliance with him. After all the titles he's won and his other accomplishments, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the HOF.

 

[Optimist Prime]

If this is true...and Shawn Michaels' follow up "tweet" makes it seem like it is...it's yet another legend heading off to pasture...leaving the wrestling world with several young inexperienced flip floppers without nearly the same personalities of the guys of the past.

Kevin Nash will always be one of my favorites of all time. At nearly 7'0", I never expected him to be able to do somersalts and cartwheels in the ring...but what he could do...he did very well. He was a brawler with a great personality...and he continued to succeed in that up until recently. Injuries have plagued him from staying relevent in recent times to most IWC marks...but anytime Big Kev is with a company...it gave me more incentive to watch them.

As good as a lot of you might think the current genre of wrestlers are...there will never ever be a crop of wrestlers like there was during the glory days. If this is true, Kevin Nash...I bid you a dear fairwell...and I owe to you and other like you...a special thank you for a huge portion of my childhood.

Take care, Big Guy...and enjoy the rest of what life has to offer.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Nash has posted a message to his fans/friends/colleagues confirming his departure:

"Hogan is a beast," "To see the cuts on his back and to see his pain tonight tells me that I was right when I saw the Hulkster as a mark and wanted to get in this crazy biz. Mad respect, Terry."

"If you were a fan of mine, please stay true to TNA. My deal went south on money, not respect for the guys I worked with or the production crew that busts their ass every week. I'm not out of wrestling, just don't want to be owned.

"To the boys that I love, I will do everything I can to make you money outside of TNA. Please, guys, remember we're 1099, the world is ours. Goodnight. I have my last Impact tomorrow. I can't express how much you all mean to me. I love you all and thank you."

No, Kevin, thank you for all the memorable years. You were one of the most personable performers in pro wrestling history, and I can't thank you enough for that!

Kevin Nash rules, finally he hangs up the boots after one of the greatest careers in wrestling. For years he's put over younger guys, despite constant criticism for doing the opposite. One of the nWo founders, the best big man of the 90's, a well-deserved rest is in store.
