Kevin Nash talks about the "fake" nature of pr▨ofessional wrestling.
Everyone knows that wrestling is predetermined entertainment. But for some reason, the first line of offeꩲnse for any detractors of pro wrestling is always, "You know that stuff is fake, right?"
Kevin Nash is now weighing in on the "fake" discussion as it pertains to young ♚children getting into wrestling and whether or not parents should rip the Band-Aid off immediately and tell their kids it's not real or whether they should allow their children to haveꦕ a second Santa Claus in their lives and believe that wrestling is totally legitimate for a moment in time.
Nash, who has never had a problem talking about wrestling being "fake," also spoke about the reality of the legitimate pain he de﷽als with because whi💎le it's predetermined, that pain isn't fake.
“I don’t know how old they are. If they’re eight, they’ve already googled, ‘Is this shit fake?’ It’s like anything else. When somebody says, ‘Is what you do fake,’ you say, ‘Yeah.’ They go, ‘Not the chairs.’ I go, ‘Oh yeah, that’s the fakest thing of all.’ Because they would end up defending your business, to where if you do the [David] Schultz and pop somebody’s eardrum, ‘So that feel fake?’"
Kevin Nash went on to describe a recent moment where he underwent an MRI and found a couple of herniated discs that were just the accumuꦉlation of his years of bumping and being in the ring with larger-than-life individuals.
"I woke up off an airplane a couple weeks ago. I didn’t take a bump, I didn’t do shit, I didn’t work out, I didn’t jerk off, I didn’t take a fucking straining dump, and man, I had sciatica, and it didn’t go away, and I went and got an MRI, and I’ve got a couple herniated discs, and that ain’t from anything except cumulative damage to doing that ‘fake’ bullshit, landing on wood, with a 300-pound guy landing on top of you."
One take that Kevin Nash has uttered in the past is that professional wrestling is lik🌜e porn.
Rob Van Dam recently echoed that sentiment and expanded upon it. Read more about that here.
