Prayers up for my man Kevin Nash.
Tons of WWE fans across the world are worried about the condition of famed wrestler Kevin Nash, after he made some troubling comments on his podcast, Kliq This.
For a little perspective, the 63-year-old lost his son, Tristen, last October at the age of 26 after suffering from seizures. The doctors believe that this may have been a result of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, due to him quitting alcohol cold turkey.
However, when asked about it, Nash hinted at suicidal thoughts, and then even doubled down when questioned by the host:
To open up the podcast, he said:
“Today is week 12 that I lost my boy. Time flies when you got a gun in your mouth… I mean, time flies when you’re having fun.”
Co-host Sean Oliver was clearly troubled by the remarks, responding:
“Don’t play like that. You have guns so you can’t say those things.”
Nash responded:
“I can do whatever the f*ck I wanna do. Long as I leave a note.”
Oliver then asked him what’s been going through his mind since his son’s death, and Nash responded:
“Every morning when I wake up, the first thing that happens is, I come to the realization that instead of there being three human beings in my home, there’s now two.
And the third person isn’t on vacation or staying with friends, or is out late. He is never coming back.
And then I sit up in the bed and I have absolutely nothing I have to do, and it’s like, ‘so, why am I getting out of bed?’”
Heartbreaking.
Nash is a six-time world champion, and was part of the New World Order, alongside Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall.
He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015, and as part of NWO in 2020.
I can’t imagine what Nash has been going through over the past few months, and our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family during this difficult time.
A couple weeks ago he shared this heartbreaking post to Instagram:
“My son. Always thought we would have so much time together when I stopped chasing the almighty dollar. Everything was in place.
Just ran out of time. Lesson learned not that it does me any good.”
