Jackson Andrews the New Kevin Nash?

**JohnnyPhantom** · 12-27-2010, 08:56 PM

Not sure if anyone has covered this but I really think ive seen this before. Not saying that its a bad thing cause it created one of the best duos of all time. This Tyson Kidd/Jackson Andrews really looks like Shawn Micheals/Kevin Nash of the 80s.

Oh and just so we are clear, im not comparing Tyson Kidd to HBK in no way other than to compare the similiarity of the pairing. But from the looks of Andrews he might be able to pull off the Nash-like character...

Any thoughts?

What is it about wrestling fans always needing to declare "___________ is the new ___________"?

Haha you really think Wrestling fans are the only people to compare the past to the present? Seems like the NFL,MLB,NHL and so on all do the same thing.

Comparisons only help to fuel interest in athletes.

No, I don't think wrestling fans are the only ones who do it. But we certainly do it A LOT, and I'm not sure why. Like, why is it important that we establish that there once was another tall body guard with a beard? I mean, let's face it: that's really as far as the comparison goes at this point, as we've seen next to nothing from Jackson Andrews. So if we all agree and say "yes", where are we at then? We've got two tall bodyguards with beards having existed. Does that really cut to the core of who Kevin Nash was in any way? No, not really. So once you really analyze it, we have no idea if this guy is the new Kevin Nash as we have nothing but superficialities to go on.

Anyways, it wasn't really a complaint so much as it was a curiosity. Besides, hopefully my point will have opened the conversation up beyond just "beards!"

When you actually look at it, most comparisons dont pan out. Its just a good way of getting more into the "Sport"

Its mainly for entertainment purposes.

When i think more about this, i would have to think that the reason for more comparisons is because your creating a character rather than being an athlete going for Points, touchdowns or goals. Its easier to compare one guy to another in wrestling because lets face it, its an easy thing to do. Its fun to do no matter the reason.

To be fair, height and facial hair are not characterization. If it comes out that Jackson Andrews is a self-serving, back-stabbing, money hungry behind-the-scenes politician, though, then you might be cooking.

Of course, if we're just going off of base superificialities, then I guess you're in business. If that's the case, I'd like to offer that Brie Bella is the new Nikki Bella.
