On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash talked about the reaction to his take on WWE talent cuts, calling for a union and revealing why he can understand why at least one WWE wrestler was willing to take a drastic pay cut.  You can check out some highlights below:

On Wrestlers Taking Pay Cuts:

“I’ve got enough moles in the business where — I mean, I know the people that took 50% cuts. I know one of the guys, and when I found out what the person was making. And after I just picked myself up off the ground that he was making that much money, and then realized that even at 50%, he was making huge money.”

On His Interactions With Ari Emmanuel:

“The only person I’ve ever met from TKO is Ari. He’s the only one that I’ve ever met. And he was such a gentleman. He came up, he shook my hand. I’ve never been treated better by anyone in management than the way he treated me. He just said, ‘If there’s anything I could do for you, blah, blah, blah, blah.’ And every time I’ve seen him since — he’s the only person I know. He’s the only one. So the other two cats, I don’t know them. I just wanted to lash out at somebody, so they — I don’t know them, you know?”
