Kevin Nash was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics from his wrestling career. One of the highlights was Vince McMahon’s idea for him to fight Mike Tyson in a charity event back in 1995.
Here is what Nash said:
“They brought me up to WWE Headquarters, which was called Titan Tower at the time, and Vince went into this elaborate idea of me fighting Mike Tyson in Central Park. I asked him, ‘How much am I going to get paid?’ Vince said it was for charity, and I said, ‘F—. I ain’t fighting Mike Tyson and getting knocked the f— out for charity”
Nash says that this was a smoke and mirrors move by McMahon to get him to agree to lose the WWF title to Bret Hart.
“Then he told me, ‘By the way, you’re going to drop the strap to Bret at Survivor Series because we’re going to put it on Shawn at WrestleMania”
