Kevin Nash isnāt buying a word of Bret Hartās latest accusations.
Speaking on Kliq This, Nash dismissed Hartās claim that Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels were romantically involved in the mid-90s. As Michaelsā closest friend and near-constant travel partner during that era, Nash said the allegation doesnāt pass even the smallest smell test.
āI spent the better part of three years with Shawn,ā Nash said. āI never once remember having a double knockout with Vince on any of our trips.ā He added that the only off-camera moment he could recall with McMahon was a tense meeting in Indianapolis about a possible strike.
Nash pointed out that the Kliq operated with complete openness. If anything like what Hart suggested had happened, heās certain it wouldāve been obvious to the entire group. āNot only would we have known, but thereās just no way he couldāve kept something like that quiet,ā he said.
As the conversation widened to Hartās ongoing commentary about the Montreal Screwjob, Nash made it clear heās exhausted by the decades-long discourse. āPlease somebody get the f*** over that,ā he said, noting that while he respects the hardships Hart has endured, the specific claims about Michaels and McMahon are baseless. āI donāt agree an iota that thereās any truth to that. Why he said it? Thatās for Bret to deal with.ā
The podcast also touched on long-standing rumors about The Ultimate Warrior and McMahon. Nash refused to repeat any of it, even with those stories being part of wrestling lore. āIām not going to say anything derogatory about anybody thatās deceased,ā he said, adding that he never believed those rumors in the first place.
Before wrapping up, Nash tipped his cap to McMahonās business mind, recalling an old Steve Austin interview that described McMahon as someone you donāt have to like to recognize as a genius. Nash echoed that sentiment, crediting McMahon for turning the real-life fallout of the Screwjob into the iconic āMr. McMahonā character. āHe takes a situation and makes it to the greatest advantage possible,ā Nash said.
