Kevin Nash doesn't believe that fan i🧸nterest is up because of WWE's recent controversies.
Throughout the decade, WWE has been involved in a number of legal controve♌rsies, many of which involve the company's former head honcho himself, Vince McMahon. Notably, McMahon is currently facing a lawsuit from Janel Grant, who alleges that McMahon sexually assaulted and trafficked her during her time with the company.
As a result of McMahon's removal from WWE, Triple H now serves as the Chief Content Officer of the company. Kevin Owens recently suggested that the change of the promotion's creati⭕ve direction probably turned a couple of new eyes towards the company.
On the latest edition of Kliq This, Nash disagreed with the statement, saying that Endeavor is more responsible for WWE's rece🐭nt resurgence in popularity.
“Nah. I think that’s a very ‘I live in the wrestling bubble’ view of the world. I’m sorry man, it’s very difficult, I did it for thirty years, it’s very difficult for me to watch professional wrestling. Somebody shitting on somebody, that’s the news headline and that makes me watch, it’s not gonna draw me to becoming somebody that watches it on a weekly basis. I think the fact that number one Endeavor got involved, I just think it was time for somebody besides Vince to be in charge of the company. I think it was a lot to do with Endeavor and they wanted to put different eyes on it.”
Nash went on to say that there isn't a controversy that wo♓uld make him want to watch stock car racing.
“To me, it’s like stock car racing. If all of the sudden somebody in the France family gets charged with some kind of sex [charge], it ain’t going to make me want to watch fucking stock car racing. I’m not gonna watch NASCAR. There ain’t nobody that doesn’t know what pro wrestling is, that doesn’t know NASCAR is.”
