Kevin Nash this week let it be known that he’s not too happy with how he was portrayed in Netflix’s Hulk Hogan documentary.
The four-part Hulk Hogan: Real American documentary has been a hot topic in the wrestling world since its premiere on April 22. While the Netflix special goes a long way in covering Hogan’s career throughout his years in WWE, WCW, and TNA, some viewers have been critical about various aspects of the series, included how it covered the racist comments Hogan made on a leaked sex
tape.
Among the critics are Nash, who spoke to the documentary crew about his close friend and nWo stablemate, but now indicates he’s displeased with how much of his remarks ended up on the cutting room floor.
Nash first spoke out about his frustrations in response to a Monday (April 27) post on X (Twitter) from Ariel Helwani. The MMA journalist called the docuseries a “fun trip down memory lane,” but “in the end, it felt a bit surface-level.” He also said that one could argue that “more could have went into” Hogan’s controversies.
Helwani’s post caught Nash’s attention, who wrote in response: “I was personally interviewed for 3 hours. I went into depth on several topics, including the race incident. I had 30 seconds of air time. Surface is the intent and wasting people who were close. Their time.“
Nash then elaborated more about his issues with the documentary on the Monday episode of his Kliq This podcast. In these more expanded comments, he indicated the editing of the series painted him in a negative light.
“I watched it over the last two nights. It made me really f***ing sad,” The WWE Hall of Famer said. “I’ve got some quotes in it, but one quote makes me come across like such an a**hole.”
He continued: “It goes into the fact that I would have never gotten into this business had I not seen Hulk Hogan live and what an impact his charisma…But what I say in that is I make the assumption when I see it: ‘I’m bigger than him, I’m better looking, I’m more athletic. F*** I can definitely do this.’ Which is like I’m almost shunning my buddy.”
Nash then seemingly concedes he understands why he was edited heavily, given his propensity for cursing.
“I understand also that it’s got to be so hard to use my quotes, because I’m dropping f-bombs, and they leave them in the show. I think I say f*** like I think I’m the leader in throwing f-bombs, and I’ve got like three clips.”
What do you think about the Hulk Hogan documentary, Cagesiders? And how do you think Nash came off in it? Let us know in the comments.
