On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash revealed that he was partly responsible for the late “Macho Man” Randy Savage taking his Slim Jim sponsorship with him to WCW.
As the WWE Champion, Nash went to Slim Jim and filmed a commercial. While wrapping up, Nash spoke to the company executives and asked them to stick with Savage as their spokesperson.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his role in Macho Man taking the Slim Jim sponsorship away from WWE: “I had a lot to do with that. They came to me, because I was the champion, and we did a Slim Jim commercial. When we were wrapping things up, I was talking to the execs, and I said, ‘Man, I’m not the guy. This is synonymous with Randy. You should stick with Randy.’ … On my son’s urn, I said, ‘You should stay with Randy.’”
On Savage and Vince McMahon having long-term heat over Savage taking away the Slim Jim sponsorship: “Oops, I thought I was doing Macho a favor. He’s up there looking down on me going, ‘Nash, you always had my back.’”
