"Don't work harder. Work Smarter" Good one for other things in life.

[@bulletclub4life]

"Never get too comfortable like you can't be replaced.".... If you cant take change then there will be someone next to you that will.

[@datboichevi1017]

He forgot to put "quad pull" to his list of moves

[@Silent_Shadow]

I have worked in the trades since turning 18. I'm 37 now. My Dad taught me as a small kid, this piece of knowledge. It has saved me from being completely physically destroyed and still productive.

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

His experiences and understanding of the art are unmatched. Makes sense why he could still have matches after the constant knee pain he's been in.

[@floggyWM1]

Nash basically described his whole career, Knee in the corner, big boot, sidewalk slam and powerbomb

[@Daltonjabs]

I actually love listening to him talk about the industry he actually seems to understand it

[@jackieparmz]

Kev could’ve been one of the greatest bookers and promoters ever, but his ego and blind dedication to his buddies got in his way. He absolutely has a brain for the business and anybody who doesn’t think so just hates him for other reasons.

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

For sure one of my top 5 story tellers. He's just so eloquent and yet, so normal.

[@kyledamron]

Hes so right about facials and telling a story. I believed wrestling was real longer than I should have because of Shawn Michaels facial expressions and Randy Savage's selling

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

Facial expressions is something EVERYONE can relate to, that's why it's so effective.

[@sychophantt]

There's no storylines. It's all entrances, high spots and finishes

[@TPaineYang]

Perfect description of what wrestling is like today. That's why wwe is losing fans and viewers by the millions.

[@ews6724]

Amen

[@ЛукаТ-э3э]

You all clearly don't watch New Japan

[@joeyfife6994]

@@TPaineYang There was a loss of fans well before today's style of wrestling. See: The Invasion Angle (2001), which was a story, in a time full of stories. In WWE, there are still stories - just a matter of their quality. I think it's simplification to think that wrestling style alone is the reason for wrestling's post-AE lull. If you're focusing on indies, then yes, of course there would be less storytelling - no contracts = no certainty of a wrestler being around long enough to finish a storyline. Go to NJPW for the best stories and wrestling in the world.

[@rickcharlton4452]

I’ve never been a huge Kevin Nash fan mainly due to the backstage politic stories and stuff…. But the guy seems really intelligent and he is one of the best story tellers in the game. Thumbs up for sure!

[@wiredforstereo]

Same, but he has really matured, talks about how much of an asshole he was, etc.

[@The_Realm_is_Real]

You think he's the only one involved in backstage politics? McMahon is king of that.

[@FEARSWTOR]

When I think back, yeah there were a lot of great camera shots in Shawn Michaels matches. "I'm sorry, I love you", "Stay down!", etc. You don't really think about the coordination that has to go into getting all of that, especially for a live event. Instead it just helps you get lost in the moment.

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

A major part of that comes down on talent. IF we can know the story we're telling in advance, then we can inform crew to know where to be. If I know I have a certain moment in my match that's pertinent to the story, then I better make sure the camera crew and fans have the best way to be able to view so they can understand the story I'm telling.

[@FreneticZetetic]

Lol at Nash admitting his exact 5 moves that Cornette calls him on!

[@anthonywarren9885]

Nash has always admitted that.

[@noahhossman7070]

I’d rather only have 5 moves that matter instead of 35 that people don’t care about.

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

@@anthonywarren9885 Yeah, he isn't worried about anyone's opinion lol. He has a really great story about a pitcher having "just" one pitch, but nobody can hit it.

[@StoneCold311]

@@noahhossman7070 facts lmao

[@TimedRevolver]

On one of his interviews, he's shown a video of Corny talking about his 'five moves of doom', which he counts off then nods in agreement that those are indeed his only five.

[@ajmacintyre]

Wow wish I had seen this years ago. He tells it like it is. Much Respect.

[@leroyrasberryjr]

This is the longest I’ve heard in talk in years without swear words, I’m conflicted lol

[@ValFinale]

Hes 1000% right. The memorable matches/moments are from guys that are fantastic performers . Guys who can tell a story and carry the feud into the match. If you have a heated feud and then go out there and just have a great technical match with holds and flips etc. no ones gonna remember it. We want to see the feud in the ring. We wanna see how badly you wanna destroy each other.

[@d_ruggs]

anyone who thinks Nash isn't down to earth and chill needs to see these videos. the fact nash would hangout at the CZW training center and shoot the shit with the boys is super cool of him. im sure theres a chance he was paid to be there but still, its CZW and if Nash had a chip on his shoulder he wouldn't be there. You can tell he really just loves the business

[@datboichevi1017]

They got at randy for the way he wrestles, smarter rather than harder,but when he lasts longer nd earns more and also has a healthy retirement,being smart don't seem too dumb🧐🤔🤯

[@fherrivera951]

He's great man,I would listen to him

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

Favorite seminar I've attended!

[@othersideproductions2776]

I could listen to Nash for hrs

[@TraumaER]

He's 1000% right. Today's wrestlers are more athletic and acrobatic. They are way worse at telling a story. Half of them are smiling while getting their ass beat in the ring. It makes no sense. It ruins the belief you are watching a legit battle.

[@2Sweeet]

Nobody needs more than 5 moves. It's mainly punching and kicking outside of the ring these days anyway.

[@dantedlane2]

Each move represents a shift in the story,don’t need 1000 moves ,maybe on a ppv you pull out 2-3 new moves or rare moves you use but yea 5 moves is really good ,

[@mikemiken1963]

"And that's if I do 3 of them 2 times" lol

[@donmooney21]

My god, how did Nash turn 60 this year? Even though he looks older. He looks really really great for being 60. If I looked like him at 40 Id take it. Hahaha

[@parkandharbourproductions]

He partied hard too

[@parkandharbourproductions]

@@Andi88T I've watched lots of shoot interviews with Nash talking about his drug fuelled nights in hotels. There's a story where he said he ate 30 odd painkillers. I just think Nash could party and then stop for a while unlike Scott Hall

[@Greeneggsz]

Exactly why Bad Brown left $250 dollars for 10 dates? That’s ridiculous..

[@polopopolo2197]

I think the absolute worst thing about pro wrestling today is the phony run towards their opponent. It looks so choreographed and dumb

[@TraumaER]

Well you got the other wrestler holding their hand out like a retard. They think they are doing ballet or gymnastics. In real fights, you don't have each person setting up spots for one another. WTF?

[@dame2547]

Still Better than pro wrestling in the 80's tht shit sucked so I rather watch a choreographed match than tht garbage. stop taking pro wrestling so serious, wanted it to look real loser

[@patrickjacobsen7805]

The people that needs to be credited for putting all these wrestlers over are the commentators. These are the people who reaches the millions and millions of the fans. Try watching wrestling on TV without any commentary its boring as fark.

The comment about Foley though. When you're 7 feet tall and have the genetics of Kevin Nash you don't have to do much to get noticed or be considered for a top spot. Foley HAD to do those crazy things to stand out because he wasn't gifted physique-wise.

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

I wish I didn't, but I agree with you... I just wish Foley wouldn't have helped in the popularization of death matches. (I hadn't heard of any of that stuff until Foley was acknowledged with all of it.) But I was young, so I'm sure I would have found it eventually. I feel like his psychology was better than all of the jaw dropping "stunned" moments he had. But he is one of my top 5 favorites, so I accept all of him lmao.

[@fehner27]

@@ProWrestlingPsychology101 My thing about Foley is that he has been hard on ECW in the past few years, yet ECW helped make him and he took the cage bump in WWE, not ECW.

Well considering today’s wrestling gets only a fraction of the ratings compared to when guys like Nash, Hogan, Austin, ect were on top, maybe he knows what he’s talking about. Or should guys emulate Benoit and Dynamite Kid whos brains were mush by 40 and had violent domestic attacks on partners
