NoDQ.com > WWE > Nash On Why He Left WWE For WCW Posted by Steve Carrier on 11/24/2016 at 10:23 AM Former WWE/WCW/TNA star Kevin Nash spoke with Justin Barrasso of SI.com about his first stint in WWE that lasted from 1993 - 1996 and here are a few highlights... On the wrestling business in 1996: “At that point, wrestling was dying. The Hulkamania era was over for Vince, and he was looking for the next big thing. A lot of his guys were working as occupations. There were a couple stars, and then there was a pig farmer, a dentist and a plumber.” On his decision to leave WWE in 1996 to go to WCW: “I had a wife who was due,” explained Nash. “I was living year-to-year on whether I got a payday at ‘Mania. I didn’t know what I was going to make, and I’m driving a used Mercedes. Then, all of a sudden, I’m going to get a minimum of $850,000 from WCW, and it was for 180 days, which was considerably more days off than Vince at over 300. “I was coming from a world where I’d sit in the car and watch guys come back from the phone booth after making a collect call home and say, ‘My kid walked today.’ Then we’d drive off to Binghamton, New York or wherever else. I didn’t want that to be my life. If you’re in this business, you’re already on the road way more than you should be. The majority of our time was Waffle Houses and getting lost with no GPS. You had a map.” Tweets from @nodqdotcom/real-wrestlers Steve Carrier's Plug NoDQ.com - Online Entertainment Latest WWE Click here to discuss this post If you are reading this, go to the main page JR reacts to Superstar Shakeup Reigns takes out Strowman at WWE live event Ex-WWE star talks about company's bullying culture Otunga's commentary replacement revealed Backlash matches; Ambrose/Young marriage News regarding plans for Reigns/Strowman/Lesnar WWE teases temporary replacement for Otunga Kevin Nash comes to JBL's defense Why Stephanie is gone; WM merch sales
