| Nash, with the use of crutches, hops into rehab for some intense
sessions … with his normal off-beat humor mixed in, of course. He starts with 20
minutes of icing and a few cell phone calls, though service inside is "touchy,"
at best, he said. His first call this Monday morning was to WWE Headquarters, to send
birthday wishes. Nash uses a wireless cord, attached to his Nokia phone. He sits below a
framed, signed poster of Triple-H. Why? "I call it, The Hunter bed," Nash said. In
his first sit-down interview following the injury, Nash spoke with former WCW Magazine
editor Ross Forman. Nash talked about his rehab, his return and Eric Bischoff, among other
things.
Ross: You had to be crushed going down in your first
match after bicep surgery, especially since you weren’t expecting to work that Raw.
You even had to Delta Dash your wrestling gear to Philadelphia for the match.
Kevin: People might say that to blow a quad
on the first night back after a three-month bicep injury has got to drive you crazy. Well,
I always say, ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ Maybe the reason here is to
determine how much I want to continue this as my career. Well, being in Birmingham, away
from my family and basically living a spartan existance, shows my dedication. Thank God
I’ve got Hunter, so when I hit a wall (in the rehab), I can always call him and he
can tell me what to expect, when, how, etc. It’s nice to have a barometer to
guide/gauge where I’m at.
That said, I’m in good spirits. A month after the surgery I was
driving.
Ross: It’s been a tough 2002, huh?
Kevin: Kevin Nash has been pretty injury-prone over the past year
of so, so it may be time to wake up Diesel, see if he can have a healthier run. Since it
looks like I’m coming back this time by myself, I may be back as Big Daddy Cool.
Maybe not with black hair, though. |
