Kevin Nash was a guest on the 83 Weeks Podcast.
During it, the WWE Hall of Famer
revealed talks he had with The Undertaker in the mid-90s about changing up his gimmick and joining WCW.“It was the fact that [Michaels] had gotten that top spot and he knew he would be in the mix for that top spot,” Nash mentioned. “Taker was the one that I was trying to get. I’m not saying [he would’ve come], I just told him, I said ‘Man, you’ve got to change up your gimmick. You got no bargaining power whatsoever as long as you stay in that Undertaker gimmick.’
“I’m not saying that made him turn into the American Badass, but I’m just saying that American Badass you can take pretty much anywhere you want to go. All of a sudden, they had to pay those guys money, if [WWE] wanted to keep them, they had to pay them money.”
