Kevin Nash Praises How Oba Femi Has Been Carrying Himself

On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash talked about Oba Femi after seeing Braun Strowman shown with a title belt at a Milwaukee Brewers game. Nash said Strowman is the only wrestler who could stand across the ring from Femi and look like the bigger man. He also praised how Femi has carried himself lately, including turning down Paul Heyman on Raw, and said Femi will keep getting better. You can check out his comments below:

On Strowman and Femi:

“So I’m watching a baseball game the other night, a little Brew Crew action live from Milwaukee. And Braun Strowman was there with a WWE-type belt and they put ‘WWE Superstar’ under his name. That was big talk on the internet. ‘Has he signed? Is he coming back? Will he be an ambassador? Is he actually going to wrestle?’ He’s been back two different times. And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Am I the only one that realizes the guy with the rocket up his ass is Oba Femi?’ The only person you’d be able to bring into the ring to stand across from him and be the bigger of the two would be Braun.”

On How Femi Has changed:

“He still kind of does that. When he came down it was very exaggerated, kind of a cartoony, Bushwhacker-y kind of thing. Now he does that for maybe six to eight steps, and then he drops out of it and goes into a kind of cool jazz version of the original deepest, darkest Africa vibe that he was throwing on with the toilet seat covers around his biceps. But when he was leaving the ring after he told Heyman off. Because Heyman wanted to pull him in and be his next guy, which was basically dumping Bronson Reed and saying, ‘You’re my boy.’ He said he’s not a Paul Heyman guy, and then he left. He did one or two little bits of the movement thing, and then I think he was just genuine from how well things are going, and he feels it. You could see the genuineness of that. He’s just a nice guy. You can see it in his eyes. You can see it in his face, his smirk. He’s just going to get better and better and better. You always take that piece of clay, and it takes a minute to refine it.”

On If Being a Nice Guy Limits Femi To a Babyface Role:
“I don’t think so. It’s more like a Disney type thing where he’s the Lion King. The Lion King’s not necessarily bad. The hyenas just aren’t going to mess with him. He’s kind of the shit.”
