Kevin Nash has apologized directly to LA Knight.
Recently, Nash had said that Knight was a rip off of The Rock. However, in the aftermath both fans and members of the industry alike have criticised these comments from Nash.
On Nash’s Kliq This podcast, he apologized for his recent comments on the mega star.
“One thing I’ve gotta say is, four-five years ago, man, I thought wrestling was gonna die. I was like, ‘God, every show is bad.’ Then Raw started getting better. I’ve just never been a SmackDown guy. We didn’t have SmackDown, and when I went back, I was rarely on it. I was always a Raw guy, so I just watch Raw. That’s the show I watch. That’s the show that I watch every week. I watch NXT probably the second-most of anything, and now that they’re sending Raw guys down to NXT, now it’s got my interest because I’m trying to see who there giving a rub to, that they’re probably gonna bring up to the main roster. The production is, Kevin Dunn has always been so far above everybody else from a production standpoint. There were a lot of people that were saying, ‘Does Vince have his hands in creative?’ It’s like, I watch the show, and I said it a couple weeks ago, I said, ‘Am I the only that sees a better continuity going from match to interview?’ It just seemed like things are clicking. I don’t know,”
“If LA Knight, if he’s the chosen one, if he’s the people’s champion, then he’s the people champion. It doesn’t fucking matter to me. If his segments do a number and that fucking helps WWE, which I’m a stockholder, and it makes my buddy fucking Paul’s life easier, then fuck, get over dude. It was just one of those things where I don’t watch SmackDown, so dude, I didn’t know who the fuck your were, and I apologize. But some of us that are in professional wrestling actually watch sports, watch film, occasions read a book. I do other things besides watch wrestling. There’s 394 hours of wrestling on television a week. I just can’t do it,”
Kevin Nash
Knight is set to compete in a fatal four way match on SmackDown, with the winner advancing to the finals of a number 1 contenders tournament for the United States Championship.
