The release of Mandy Rose from WWE last week over some risque fan content on her FanTime page caught the wrestling world by surprise, including that of WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash.
During the latest edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, Nash opened up on the Toxic Attraction leader’s release from the company, and the difference between the Playboy spreads of the Attitude Era and now.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the difference between the Playboy spreads of the Attitude Era and now: “Different era. Yeah, it comes down to the just absolute loss on a daily basis of more and more freedoms.”
On Rose’s photos: “So I just don’t see — I read some things about it they use the term ‘softcore.’ So I mean, there’s stuff on even Instagram that is I would consider softcore.”
On Rose’s independent contractor status: “That’s my problem. If you’re a 1099 — if she’s in wrestling gear and she’s got the NXT belt? Absolutely, crosses the line. If she’s her? I guarantee you that that person that’s on that picture is the same one that’s on her driver’s license. And I guarantee you the check that gets paid to that person is not to Mandy, to the wrestling name. I think again that’s the thing. It’s just, you’re either an independent contractor you’re not…
“In this case, obviously she’s not making, I don’t think that Mandy would, if she was making seven figures, be doing anything to subsidize her employment and or income as she’s doing right now. Obviously she’s not making enough money… she’s not doing [anything illegal]. It’s not like she’s a prostitute! It’s not like, she’s not doing anything that’s against the law, you know.”
