Kevin Nash has been outspoken about things he doesn’t like about AEW and that has led to some fans accusing him of being biased. During the latest Kliq This podcast, Sean Oliver read a question from a listener who accused Nash of being “state media” for WWE because they pay him. Nash stated that he’s not on WWE’s payroll and he’s “not so sure” that he’s biased.
“I’m not on the payroll,” Nash said. “I don’t get a paycheck from the WWE. I get royalties. I sell merchandise. I have a percentage of that. That pays me. I am no way am on their payroll so you don’t know what the f*ck you’re talking about…”
On his two best friends (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) booking the WWE shows, Nash again said, “How do I get paid?”
On being accused of being “state media” for WWE, Nash said the following:
“What I said about R-Truth. Who books him? I don’t think Tony Khan does.” Sean Oliver noted that Nash was critical of WWE’s use of Truth. Nash continued, “I’m not so sure I’m biased. I expect more out of the WWE.”
“What did we say last week? That we weren’t going to pile on anymore on AEW because it was just too easy. Criticizing AEW is too easy so we’re just not doing it.”
Tony Khan was recently asked about Nash’s comments about Will Ospreay. Khan said, “I think Kevin Nash was a great wrestler. His opinions on wrestling I’m not sure I agree with them. He’s had some takes on Will Ospreay that I definitely don’t agree with. I’d be remiss if I don’t bring that up. I think Will Ospreay is one of the best young wrestlers in the world. We’re really fortunate to have Will Ospreay in AEW.”
Based on what Nash said on his podcast, it looks like we won’t hear much more criticism from him about AEW.
