On a recent episode of his “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash shared his thoughts on WWE Superstar Jey Uso’s current singles run, suggesting the star might be feeling the physical effects of his prominent position and offering advice on energy management.
Nash observed potential signs of fatigue in Uso’s recent performances. “I thought Jey looked tired,” Nash commented. “I think Jey looks like he’s put some weight on. I think the pressure of this spot is weighing on him.” Despite these critiques, Nash acknowledged Jey’s immense popularity, stating, “He’s over as f**k. He’s just gotta relax.”
The WWE Hall of Famer pinpointed conditioning as a potential area for improvement. “I think he needs to do some cardio,” Nash suggested, potentially linking the demanding nature of WWE’s schedule, like recent European tours, to his observations. “These houses are so f**king electric in Europe, but they get with them anyway.”
Nash also provided specific advice regarding Jey Uso’s incredibly popular “Yeet” taunt, suggesting a more strategic approach to conserve energy for the match itself. “Like I said, that yeet thing is like Jazzercise. If you get too involved in that process,” Nash warned. He proposed a contained routine upon entering the ring: “I think he really has to get in the middle of the ring after they introduce him. I think he has to do like Hogan used to do with the gimmick. He needs to yeet one side, yeet, yeet, yeet, go to all four sides. Don’t go to the corners, don’t jump up, just do it right in the middle of the ring and then lock up and do your match.”
The rationale, according to Nash, is prioritizing the in-ring action. “I think he’s gotta save his energy and then he can yeet all he wants after he gets the win.” He compared the post-match celebration potential to another icon: “That’s the Steve Austin 10 minutes after the show is over and they’re still throwing Steve beers. That’s where you make that connection with the people.” Nash’s perspective suggests that while Jey’s connection is strong, optimizing his performance stamina could enhance his already successful run.
