OWW Wrestler of the WeekL Kevin Nash
Our resident philosopher looks at the career of Big Sexcy, who took the Legends championship from A.J. Styles at Victory Road.
The past week was filled with title changes. The Knockout, TNA World Tag Team, X-Division and Legends titles all ended up with new owners. The most surprising win would have to be the Legends belt. Very few gave the middle-aged Kevin Nash a chance to taking the Legends strap from A.J. Styles. Nash actually cleanly pinned Styles, following a Chokeslam. He didn’t need the help of his Main Event Mafia buddies to take the newest TNA title.
Basketball to Battler
Kevin Scott Nash was born in Michigan in July of 1959. After high school, Nash moved to the University of Tennessee where he played basketball. Nash’s basketball career was a chaotic one as he often clashed with his coach, Don DeVoe. Nash was studying philosophy and eventually was removed from the basketball team. Nash wanted to transfer to Bowling Green, but decided to move to Europe.
Once he relocated, Nash played for several teams before a severe tear of his ACL ended his basketball career. After taking some time to recover from the leg injury, Nash decided to enlist with NATO. He served with the Military Police for two years before returning to the states.
