On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash pulled back the curtain on the early days of the nWo. The group celebrated its 30th birthday earlier this month and nASH describED how he and Scott Hall sensed Eric Bischoff’s original plan wasn’t working and how the group’s chemistry came together on its own. You can check out his comments below:

On the Group Not Working At First:

“We’re getting ready to move forward, and it’s oil, it just doesn’t work. I’m sitting at a picnic table at Universal with Scott and Eric comes over, and we just looked at him with a look like, ‘Dude, this ain’t gonna work.’ We weren’t going to say anything, so we were just bookends in Daytona that night on the seventh, and then we went to Universal. Scott and I were up on top of the studios — the backstage thing was at Universal, or Disney, one of those Florida studios down there.”

On the Change:

“Eric wouldn’t have been around us cutting promos, so he wouldn’t have known — it wasn’t like he was going, ‘Wow, you really have to watch Scott, he can throw a cutter,’ or, ‘Nash will throw that split-legged finish.’ He didn’t really know what we did. Even though they might have thought they were going to come up with some gourmet food, that first time we all sat together, it was a big bowl of goulash. It just kind of came together organically.”
