Good on the mic
Decent in the ring
Background:
Kevin began his career in WCW first as "Steel" who was one half of the tag team called the Master Blasters. However that team didn't last and they separated within a year then Kevin was repackaged as Oz based off the book the Wizard of Oz. Much like Steel, the Oz character was short lived. He was repackage again this time as Vinnie Vegas and like the story goes that's the character Shawn Michaels saw Nash doing and thought he would be good in the WWF as Shawn's bodyguard. Low and behold Kevin got out of his WCW deal, and jumped to the WWE and finally got something that stuck his name was Diesel.
Within less then a year Nash won every title there was to win in WWE from the Tag Team Titles to the Intercontinental to the WWF title as well. Which is one of the reason that contribute to him jumping back to WCW in 1996 I also think it was the more money for less work. Kevin jumping ship allowed one of the best angles in Wrestling history to play out and that was the NWO. Even though the NWO, became one of the leading causes of death for WCW it was one of the main reasons WCW started to get hot in the mid-90's like they did. Nash stayed in WCW until 2001 when the company closed and from 1996-2001 he amounted to have 9 Tag Team Titles & 5 World Titles to his name. After WCW went out of business he went back to the WWE for a short run first with Hall & Hogan then Solo. It never really meant much. More recently he was apart of TNA & was with WWE for a short run in 2011. But I think it's safe to say Kevin Nash is done wrestling for a company and he should just sit home and enjoy retirement he has earned it.
Below is I think the greatest moment of Kevin's career:
