WWE legend Kevin Nash has lost several close friends in recent years, the most recent being Hulk Hogan, and he has discussed the moment Hogan's death hit him.
Nash spoke poignantly about Hogan's death on his "Kliq This" podcast, detailing the thoughts he had as he entered the late star's service. The Hall of Famer, who has candidly discussed the impact of Hall's passing on him, said that seeing Hogan's photo in the service program made him realize how real it was.
"So, when I walked in, you know, there was security, and they had to go through a book to see if your name was in it and everything. Then they handed you ... I don't know if it's called the program, and there was that picture of Terry, and it was just like ... I don't know, man. It was the same thing when I got the thing at Scott's [Hall]. It's like, all of a sudden, it becomes real. You know, me and death don't get along real well. I don't do death very well," he said.
Nash stated that he isn't comfortable with open-casket viewings and would have walked away if Hogan's body had been placed in one.
"And I was just like, 'Oh.' Then we walked down, and there was a bunch of the boys, people I wanted to say hi to, that were standing right by Terry's casket. Before I made any movement that way, though, I made sure that was closed, because I do not do the viewing. I would have Irish fuc***g-goodbyed from the door on that."
The legendary star emphasized how losing his father at a young age had a grave impact on how he viewed death. Fellow Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff recently said that Hogan's passing, along with that of Hall and Nash's son, has impacted Nash immensely, describing him as a sensitive person.
