WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has provided an update on his health following a recent heart procedure, detailing a quick and smooth recovery process. On the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast, Nash discussed the aftermath of the surgery, which took place on September 24 to correct an irregular heartbeat. The wrestling legend revealed that he was out of the hospital and on his way to get a meal at IHOP in less than an hour after waking up from the procedure.
Nash described waking up from the procedure, which he had previously explained was to “zap you and put you back in rhythm,” to smiling doctors and his wife by his side. “So I wake up. He’s smiling at me. They’re happy. I said, Okay, you know, we’ll get your wife. She came in and said, ‘You want something to drink?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ And my go-to after-surgery drink is always cranberry juice, because I don’t ever drink anything like that. So that’s why, that’s like, you know, nice and tart, kind of cleans your mouth out,” Nash recounted.
He continued, “So I had my cranberry juice, and then they were like, ‘Well, you can get up whenever you feel like it.’ I just sat around because I already had my shoes on. She untied the back of my thing. I pulled it off, put my T-shirt on, and was in the car, I think, total time until we hit the IHOP was under an hour. 53 (minutes). And then I get home”.
Kevin Nash is a true legend, having been a main event star for both WWE and WCW during the height of the Monday Night Wars. As “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel in the WWF, he captured the WWF Championship and held it for nearly a year. His jump to WCW in 1996, alongside Scott Hall, was the catalyst for the formation of the New World Order (nWo), one of the most influential and successful factions in wrestling history.
As a member of the nWo, Nash became a multi-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and a pop culture icon. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, once as a singles competitor and again as a member of the nWo.
