| Lunch is a pair of chicken burritos at Moe’s, where he’s asked to sign
several autographs – and of course obliges. After the second training session, Nash
drives home, er, to his hotel, the first time he’s driving himself since the injury. In
his first sit-down interview following the injury, Nash spoke with former WCW Magazine
editor Ross Forman.
Ross: Tell me about The Moment it happened, and what
stands out to you.
Kevin: Every time I run that moment through
my eyes, I see Bubba Ray Dudley.
As I was coming across the ring to hit Bubba on the apron, we locked
eyes. Then all of a sudden I went down. I know he must have seen that look in my face as
if saying, ‘Damn.’ And down I went. I don’t know what he was thinking at
that moment, but he came over and I said to him, ‘Man, I’m hurt.’ And he
then just covered me up; he made sure no one landed on me. Bubba and I don’t really
know each other that well, but it was just one of those moments, like I was looking in his
eyes before I died.
Tommy Dreamer was really super with and for me, especially that night; he packed my
bag for me. And, like Bubba, I don’t know Tommy too, too well. My Kliq also was there
for me that night, and so many others. There are so many great guys in that locker room;
people don’t understand that. Arn Anderson, Ric Flair and about 80 percent of
wrestlers called me after the injury to see how I was/am doing. That’s nice. |
