– During a recent edition of Kliq This, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed his experience watching a WWE NXT TV taping, and Shawn Michaels telling him about the organization’s style, which Nash wanted to be slowed down. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Kevin Nash on his experience watching the NXT TV tapings: “I went down and I watched NXT taping. I said, ‘Slow it the f*ck down, right?’ … He just looks at me and goes, ‘It’s not the style anymore, you just have to accept that. The style is the style’ … He goes, ‘You go out there and f*cking do test of strength and people will walk the f*ck out of the arena.'”

Nash on how he responded to Michaels: “‘The fans want to see this, they want to see a spot-fest.’ That’s great if that’s what the fans want. I particularly don’t.”

On the Raw tag team match featuring Theory and Seth Rollins vs. Bobby Lashley & Riddle: “I thought the tag match that ended ‘Raw’ had psychology. Yes, there was spots, but the first time Theory gets brought in, it’s a stiff f*ckin’ punch. Good facials, he goes to the body, gets … some body shots in. They f*ckin’ keep cutting the ring off, cutting the ring off, cutting the ring off, not letting Lashley get the tag and just working in and out, and Seth’s coming in, doing one or two things, boom. Tagging back out. Like the old Anderson brothers working the corner. And it’s just like, there we go. That’s tag psychology.”
