Kevin Nash talks running into LA Knight at SummerSlam.
Alongside other legends like DDP, X-Pac, and Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash appeared in the legends suite in the crowd for WWE SummerSlam.
On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash detailed his interaction with LA Knight at the event. Previously, Nash had noted his feelings on Knight’s character, stating that he was a rip-off of The Rock. Knight responded earlier this year criticizing Nash for trying to take food off of his table.
“So LA Knight was sitting at the end of the table. I sat down at the table behind him, he turned around and I just said, ‘So, you finally getting to go over tonight?’ He goes, ‘Something like that.’ We talked and I asked, he was working with Logan Paul, I just asked how it was to work with Paul. Is he a natural, is he paint by numbers? He just gave me his opinion on how he handled the situation, not for me to explain on this show because I don’t want Logan Paul and his relationship to be verified or injured by comments that I make that I might have construed differently than it was meant to be said to me. He seemed like a really nice guy, there was no heat between us.”
Nash went on to state that there we no heat between him and Knight before adding on that nobody is trying to hurt anybody in this business.
“No. No, at that point, nobody is fucking trying to hurt anybody in this business. I wasn’t trying to take food off his table.”
Nash finished off the topic by stating that he would rather be a guy that’s being talked about than a guy that’s not being talked about.
"Other people have mocked my words to him in promos on their television. I’d rather be the guy being talked about than the guy not being talked about, that’s just the way I look at it. If I’m talking about you, cause I can talk about anybody I want in wrestling. There’s a bunch of dead guys I can talk shit about that could never rebuttal any of that. But, to me, this new breed of guys, I’m not trying to piss anyone off. I want the company to excel.”
Nash recently joked about his ladder match with Triple H in 2011. Learn more about those comments here.
