This first ran about the three weeks ago and took the 'net by storm. Feel free to link it from your website or forum, just give proper credit to Lethal Wrestling. Thanks to everyone who's gotten the word out. Sometimes I wonder if it’s all worth it, then something like this happens and the answer is given IN SPADES! THE BACKGROUND: Like many “wrestling purists”, Kevin Nash is the bane of my existence. For years we’ve watched great workers held back and potentially explosive feuds killed off because “Big Sexy” has had enough pull in the back to keep anything that would (easily) overshadow him out of the reach of fans. I certainly didn’t coin the term “Big Lazy”… it’s a nickname bestowed upon him by fans worldwide. And the worst part is that he’s REVELED in it. Nash has never shown anything but distain for wrestling fans. He’s openly boasted that he’s one of the biggest names in the industry despite never doing a damn thing to earn it. He’s a “four move wonder”, and hasn’t given a whole-hearted effort in the ring since he was “Diesel”, way back in a period before many people reading this were even watching. Fact is, no one is a better representation of what is wrong with this sport than Mr. Nash. THE INJURY: Flash forward to his arrival in the WWE. Nash somehow manages to injure his arm while kicking someone. This is something that can never happen if someone has been working out a tiny fraction of what should be expected for someone making 7 figures in an industry where stamina is everything. True to form he didn’t spend his time off from this injury working on the parts of body that wasn’t injured, and what happened next was so inevitable that ten minutes before he made his return I asked our chat room “How many minutes will he be in there before he’s injured again?” 37 seconds into his return I got my answer. So now Nash is putting up a whole series on HIS WEBSITE documenting his rehab vowing to return better than ever (which I assume means he’s expecting to be at least as mobile as John Tenta now). And the best part is that includes pictures, all of course documenting how much effort he’s putting into his comeback. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for us), his webmaster isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. THE GRIFT: In addition to the pix online, the directory of the site included pictures of his REAL rehab. Don’t bother looking for them there now, as they’ve since been yanked. However, before they were one of our readers, “Weevie”, stumbled across them (again, they were in the picture directory, you didn’t exactly have to know how to hack NASA to find them) and was kind enough to post them on our forum. The pictures are included below. HOWEVER… that’s not the best part… NASH’S SACRIFICE: Once the pictures were posted, erstwhile TRP writer and banner maker “Twitmare” suggested a way to really hammer home the significance of these pix… by doing one of those WWE “Desire” clips. You know, take the Creed song and use it to demonstrate the level of dedication that has gotten him where he is today, like they did so magnificently with Triple H and Undertaker and others. A few of the guys gave it a shot (including our good friend Sabotage), and simply seeing those images with the song and the significance behind it alone is LOL LMFAO ROFL funny. One, however, definitely separated itself from the pack, and I honestly haven’t been as honored about anything during my time in op boards since being hired at WU as I am to present it to you now. This was done by Donny Camaro, aka “Sexton Effect” aka “Sexton Hardcastle”. Below the link are the pictures in question, and when you see them everywhere else be sure to remember who first brought them to you (since it isn’t like anyone’s going to credit us… fuckers). Additional credit for this goes to “Z-Man” TOM ZENK for first hitting the jackpot with the picture at the bottom and inspiring Mr. Weevie to go digging. It is the sincerest hopes of myself, Lethal Wrestling, and the vast majority of its readers that this will not anger Mr. Nash, but rather do one of three things: 1. Amuse him: This is the man who vowed to return to the ring because he wasn’t finished “holding the younger guys down”. Hell, why SHOULDN’T he get a kick out of “smarks” opinion of him? We’re the people too socially inept to have something better to do than bitch about the business that pays him seven figures a year to get a lot of TV time despite the fact he’s made no attempt to improve his ring work for at least the last six years. If I read a bunch of dateless wonders bitch about me before I rolled over and fucked Chae I’d incorporate that shit into my foreplay. As a wrestling fan I DESPISE Kevin Nash, but as a human being I’m fully cognizant of the fact he’s LIVING MY DREAM!! 2. Humble him: He’s managed to play the office game better than any wrestler that ever existed, working main events and even booking despite the pre-ordained failure of either. Now it’s time to realize that sort of thing was fine and dandy when the rings were lined with gold, but not when the business is in trouble. They have to be able to draw in people that have never watched before, and that requires absolute dedication from every single person involved. The Kevin Nash of the WCW/WWE era has nothing positive to contribute in that world. 3. Inspire him: Get PISSED OFF, Kevin. Train like you’ve never trained before so you can spit in the face of every last one of us from Meltzer all the way down to guys like us who’ve built our readership primarily at the cheap shots we’ve taken at you. Let every bead of sweat and muscle cramp represent the pain that we’ll be feeling when you return and tear up the ring like no one’s ever seen so we can all eat our words (of course that logic is flawed, since if by some unimaginable miracle he DID return as a world class wrestler, we’d happily eat our words as we just want a great product. Still…). Without further ado, here is the flash movie and accompanying stills. Tell a friend, and my highest level of praise to Weevie, Twit, and Sexton for the last 48 hours.             |
