Kevin Nash on his role in Macho Man taking the Slim Jim sponsorship away from WWE: “I had a lot to do with that. They came to me, because I was the champion, and we did a Slim Jim commercial. When we were wrapping things up, I was talking to the execs, and I said, ‘Man, I’m not the guy. This is synonymous with Randy. You should stick with Randy.’ … On my son’s urn, I said, ‘You should stay with Randy.'”

On Savage and Vince McMahon having long-term heat over Savage taking away the Slim Jim sponsorship: “Oops, I thought I was doing Macho a favor. He’s up there looking down on me going, ‘Nash, you always had my back.'”
