Kevin Nash didnt hold back when asked about the infamous split of the Outsiders and what was really going on behind the scenes in WCW during the Monday Night Wars.
During a Q&A panel at River City Wrestling Con, Nash responded to a fan question about the breakup of his legendary tag team with Scott Hall. According to Nash, neither he nor Hall wanted the splitpointing the finger at higher-ups who believed it was unfair to put the Outsiders against Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage.
While Nash and Hall had favored nations clauses in their contracts, he made it clear that they had no creative control, unlike Hogan. Then came the shocker: WCWs long-term plan wasnt just to build the NWOit was to let it completely take over the show.
According to Nash, internal politicsand pressure on Eric Bischoff from Turner execsended up derailing that vision. And then he dropped a bombshell that explains why WCW was always rumored to be losing money, even during its peak.
The real issue? All the pay-per-view money WCW earned didnt go back to WCW. It went elsewhere.
Nash didnt just speak on historyhe exposed what he believes was an internal sabotage of WCWs own success. The idea that one of wrestlings most dominant brands was set up to fail from the inside might explain a lot about how fast it all crumbled.
Kevin Nash pulling back the curtain on NWO Nitro and WCWs money trail? Thats the kind of truth fans rarely hear.
