Kevin Nash says AEW seems “dated” and “has a very WCW Thunder feel” but praises several stars
During his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash gave his thoughts on the AEW product…
“It just seems dated. It has a very WCW Thunder feel when I watch it. I watched [Chris] Jericho on that and I’ve always thought Chris was a great performer. I thought when they brought Punk in, I really liked the fact that every guy Phil [CM Punk] worked with, Phil gave 80% of the match to. Phil made everybody before he beat them. He was very professional. I like his style. They both work an older school style.”
“But I’ll tell you right now, Orange Cassidy, that’s my boy. I know that Corny and other guys like that sh*t on it. Wardlow is a good looking guy. Good body. He had a match with Orange Cassidy to start off the show. I’m like, ‘Wow, this guy is going to eat Orange Cassidy alive.’ Low and behold, that big dude gets it. He let him do the kicks to the shin. They ended up having a really good, competitive match. He beat him, and he should have. I know the Kevin Nash/Cornette in me wants to fu**ing slit my wrists, but the Shawn Michaels nowadays realizes that it’s not your dad’s fu**ing wrestling anymore.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
