Following the news that Kevin Nash’s son Tristen passed away last week, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair reached out to the former nWo member.
As we reported last week here on eWn, Tristen Nash passed away at the age of 26 after he suffered a seizure, which is believed to be from quitting alcohol cold turkey.
During the latest edition of his “To Be The Man” podcast, Flair revealed that he spoke with Nash on the phone.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what he told Nash: “You’re never going to get over it, you just have to figure out how to deal with it. Dealing with it the way I did, by just completely shutting down and drinking for five straight years didn’t work out, it didn’t do anything. My advice to him was just hang on to your wife as tight as you can and don’t throw blame at each other, there’s no way to deal with it.”
On Tristen’s passing: “It happened on the eve of Scott Hall’s birthday. It’s a double whammy for him because I don’t think he’s recovered from the loss of Scott yet. So it just shows what a great friend he was to Scott, you know, Scott could be problematic, and Kevin never left his side, never heard Kevin say anything negative about Scott … After all those years it’s hard to find friends like that, so I’ve got nothing but respect for him.”
