Kevin Nash Praises the Work of Former WCW Wrestler Scott Norton

– During a recent edition of Kliq This, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed former IWGP Heavyweight Champion and WCW wrestler Scott Norton. Nash noted that while Norton had a lot of great success in NJPW, it didn’t translate over into success in the US as part of the nWo. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Kevin Nash on Scott Norton not translating to success in the US: “He was used … he was a top guy in Japan all through that period. I don’t know why it didn’t translate [in the US.] I think, you know, he was a stud.”

On Norton’s work in Japan: “My first tour, it was him and Vader and Tony Halme — there was a couple. Norton was, there was — if you guys want to look at some classic New Japan matches, Norton and Bam Bam [Bigelow] had a series of tag matches with the Steiners that are fu**ing really some [great matches]. That Japanese style was, you know, Norton worked super strong but Bam Bam was so athletic and, of course, the Steiners are just incredible.”
