“There were times Vince wanted to strangle me and I wanted to strangle him”. Nailz took that bet

[@randlemarsh]

Funny how Vince pulled the "we're family" when someone tries to take more money that he just told you he can't match. Billionaires really try to play people. 😂

[@DrHDoofenshmirtzphd]

To be fair, the kliq had a lot of pull with Vince enough to screw over other big names.

[@CannedHam2479]

Vince wasnt close to being a Billionaire in 1996, Bro

[@wesleyhomeimprovement2412]

But he had paid out millions by then in sex assault law suits

[@jn7339]

Vince wasn't a billionaire in 96, business has been not so good in the years before

[@christhornycroft3686]

@@jn7339hulk hogan’s net worth was probably higher than Vince’s in 1996.

[@SRPC21]

1:55 “We’re a family” Alarm bells should ring if any Boss says that to you. It’s something my old CEO did (who massively exploited me and was on a massive salary) before she spat me out the second I needed something from her.

It sucks for fans that WCW went out of business... It sucks that major territories were gobbled up by WWF... I no longer watch wrestling, just catch it here and there, so I might be talking out of my ass when I say it sucks... But I was blessed being born in 1980... I only knew WWF and the comic book era of wrestling, in high school during the Monday Night Wars, and then 18-21 during the attitude era (and we had a scrabbler for free PPV) I went to the service in 01' and didn't watch anymore... Growing up our neighborhood had around a dozen boys and it was AWESOME being able to watch Attitude Era PPV events with a group ranging from 7 years old to 21... Back in the day when the little squirts in the neighborhood were throwing up the double middle finger and slapping the "Suck It!"

[@michaelhayes4615]

I always here nothing but great things about DDP

[@darylmixan8170]

Those 185 days MAX had to be a huge blessing as opposed to constantly on the road... I think Vince knew Nash and Razor were going to become stale within the next few years in WWF, and I also think Vince knew he could run another angle for a few years and get Nash and Razor back...

[@abudujana13]

Thanks for the video, TITLE MATCH WRESTLING

[@nostalgiaman6816]

The shower story here is a little different. I’ve seen just about every interview/dvd of Hall & Nash and obviously (as everyone knows) their contracts just happen to be up at the same time. Nash said Hall kind of caught him off guard when Hall said he’s leaving and he asked Scott how much are we talking about? Scott said: “Sting Money.” And that: “I’m just an ex IC CHAMP - you’re the ex world champ…” meaning he would get more. I’m basically quoting Nash from Legends of Wrestling: NWO.

[@kebsis]

Yeah but Razor Ramon was also a lot more over than Diesel imo

[@plonkersbro]

Yeah in another in the shower Nash turns to Hall and tells him to get a deal he was coming as well

[@Drummer8282]

Nash lies a lot. Kinda like that BS story of Undertaker yelling at the Hitman when going over plans leading to WM12.

[@nostalgiaman6816]

@@Drummer8282 Yeah I remember Bruce Prichard saying on his podcast that Nash didn’t leave because Vince went with Bret’s finish - that Nash was going to leave anyway. But Bruce lies a lot anyway. If you got a wife pregnant - $750-950K and 120 dates as opposed to over 300… I would like to think Nash was going to leave. But even Bret wanted to stay and he was going to get $2.5 right? But Vince said go.

[@nostalgiaman6816]

@@plonkersbro Right. Or ask DDP if they want me as well. But yeah. It’s almost crazy to think all 3 (Scott, Bret, and Nash) didn’t want to go - even Bret said I don’t care about the money - and he was right - cost him his career because of Goldberg.

[@karlepaul6632]

I like Kev, I think he's one of the more honest wrestlers out there...BUT... he's also one of types that's never wrong about anything... and if there's a story involving a friend when it comes to toughness, he goes into the mentality that every wrestler has: their friend is tougher. I'm regarding his recollection of Tank Abbott and Rick Steiner. I seriously doubt Rick scared Tank so much he packed his bag and never came back. 😋

[@aidanbagwell7879]

For sure. Scott hall breaks it down personally in his interview. Vince wasn’t willing to give him the money he wanted and the time with his family that was needed. So he said nah i can’t even stay another year

[@darylmixan8170]

Vince was on top of his game and always a move ahead... He knew there were on a handful of spots on the main card for WCW and knew he'd be able to pick up great mid card guys from WCW with fresh storylines... It all worked out...

[@darylmixan8170]

You know its all about money, and thats fine... If WCW offered more and thought they could make them money back then they're in... If Vince thought he could have made the return on investment, he would have offered it...

I'd like to know how much he was making if he was living "week to week" on his paycheck.

[@RedfishCarolina]

They were making "Sting Money" but they definitely put asses in seats. WCW went from shitshow to big show partly because of these two guys

[@SRPC21]

WCW was still decent before the outsiders arrived, just not as modern/edgy which was the injection the industry needed.

[@RedfishCarolina]

@@SRPC21 Agreed. I enjoyed both franchises. My favorite fueds were the many fueds between Sting, Flair, and Vader. I loved especially the surfer - Sting vs. Monster heel Vader. Sting made Vader look so damned unstoppable.

[@SRPC21]

@@RedfishCarolina then why did you call WCW a shitshow before the outsiders arrived?

[@RedfishCarolina]

@@SRPC21 Their ratings were terrible, that's what I mean. But a lot of their content was terrible too. I know it sounds like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth but they definitely had major problems. Sting, Flair, and Vader weren't one of them, they had some good matches. What I'm calling a shitshow is all the bizarre stuff they did prior to the Outsiders. Look at the strange crap they did with the Yeti, Shockmaster, trying to sell Paul Whyte as the son of Andre, casting John Tenta as "the shark" . They had a ton of talent around but couldn't figure out how to use them. They moved so far away from what made the old NWA so good, the matches used to be very realistic and gritty, but WCW tried to chase the WWF cartoonist style, and went way too far with it. I really hated the Dungeon of Doom, it was really trash. It was cheesy and reeked of 1980's cartoon villains like Mum-zra.

[@joncolunga673]

Vince brought in Nash and Hall specifically to squash them. Can you blame him?

[@astrofan6002]

I love Lauren Anderson, but I don’t understand why he got upset by that. It was funny, when you’re staying in wrestling and you’re older they make fun of you. It’s part of the show.

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

[@devi2691]

credit Kevin for seeing through the bull. "We're a family." and "If i pay you [850k] i gotta pay everyone that." geez. Diesel was limited, but he has main evented Wrestlemania's by that point. and i doubt Shawn was being paid a flat rate either. i'm surprised at Vince for being so wrong-footed. and we know he was, cos why would fake Razor, and fake Diesel ever lift off the launch pad? and.. why he offered Brett a 20 yr contract soon after. why are billionaires so cunty?

[@mikeg2491]

Because he wasn’t a billionaire then. WWF almost went out of business during that time period.

[@devi2691]

@mikeg2491 and Vince saw that. So he kept billing Diesel as a main event guy? Anyway it's sliced Vince was trying to pinch pennies in a time when that wasn't best practice. And they almost went out of business BECAUSE WCW was spending money. WWF won in the end, but it due to a lot more than Kevin wanting 850k, and Vince trying to play martyr and spout BS about having to pay everyone if that were the case..

[@clivet3252]

[@GBody-sn5ok]

Yeah, so fake the injuries and mental health issues are so real! 😂 Look, I'm no mark but I would hate doing their profession being on the road more than 3/4 of the year. Cena, Hulk, Sting, and a few others who did it right by just living on the WWF/WWE road and Hulk and later Cena and Undertaker had the money to buy their own jets to get back to their homes and back to work after a few days off so yeah, the money part definitely had its perks.
