On the latest “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash and co-host Sean Oliver took some time to talk about the passing of Kevin Sullivan. Nash talked about seeing Sullivan last year and he said that Sullivan was dealing with heart issues.
“We talked and he had some congestive heart problems,” Nash said. “Last time I saw him, I was with my buddy Dave Herro. We were at a signing and we all had dinner together. That was like the last time I sat down with Kev, maybe a year ago. I could tell he was weak. Plus he had been there all day. It was late like 9:30 when we were catching some food, but he was quiet.”
“One of the best. He was a great character. He was believable, and he wasn’t a very big man. He was muscular wise. He had some gigantic thighs, but he knew how to get over. He knew what heat was and when he got a chance to be on the creative end, I mean, I’ve said it a million times that if we don’t have Kevin Sullivan, it wouldn’t have mattered who was the third man because if we didn’t have heat and the ability to pore heat on us (it wouldn’t work)”
“One thing I will say about Sting and Lex and Randy and the crew of guys that were working as babyfaces, Piper, Ric, Mongo, Arn, you know, all those guys that were working as babyfaces, they let us get a sh*tload of heat on them week after week after week, and it wasn’t for them being giving, then it wouldn’t have happened.”
