Kevin Nash was not interviewed for "Mr. McMahon," the six-part docuseries on the life and career of Vince McMahon.
According to Nash, he didn't want to be interviewed for the docuseries.
He was questioned about the documentary, which he has seen, by co-host Sean Oliver on Kliq This.
On the podcast, Nash was asked if he believes Vince the person and Mr. McMahon the character were separate.
"I think they're separate. I can only go by my experience and my relationship with him. The last time he and I talked was at Paul's (Levesque aka Triple H) 50th (birthday). There was a lot of family there. The Kliq and I think Dave Bautista was one of the only other boys that were there. We talked about a bunch of different shit. Still asking him for advice on a couple of things. 'How did you get from here.' You don't have a lot of billionaire friends.
"Undertaker makes a reference that he's a father figure. (John) Cena makes a reference that he's a father figure. Anybody that had that kind of relationship with him at the highest level...Mark (Callaway aka Undertaker) had it for 30 years, John had it for 10 to 15. I only had it for a year, just every day being at TV when nobody else would get to see Vince, you can just walk in. To have that relationship with him. I'd go there sometimes and want to see Vince, just showing up at TV, and there would be this fucking line of people. I'd cut the line. I'd never bother him close to show time. I always got a chance to see him because he was my friend. He's still my friend."
Nash was WWE Champion for nearly a year from November 1994 to November 1995.
Many of the interviews recorded for "Mr. McMahon" were done before allegations of hush money, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, and sex trafficking came to light.
