Kevin Nash Says WrestleMania 42 Felt ‘Soulless,’ Doesn’t Think TKO Gets It

On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash talked about WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend, calling the experience soulless while drawing a distinction between how the business operated under Vince McMahon and how it functions now under TKO. TKO has drawn criticism for how it handled the event in multiple aspects, from the security for talent to the pricing, to the creative. You can check out some highlights below:

On Mania Feeling Soulless:

“I’m so detached from the product and everything else that to me, the whole weekend — and maybe because I was running on fumes — but it felt kind of soulless.”

On TKO’s Approach to Vince McMahon:

“I’m not stupid and I’m not naive, and I understand that the bottom line is, ‘Man, that is a business.’ And once it left Vince’s hands, like no matter if you love Vince or don’t love Vince. From the standpoint of the boys, if you had a relationship with Vince and you were a guy that pushed those numbers. A [Shawn] Michaels, a Triple H, a Steve [Austin], a Taker. If you’re a guy that pushed those numbers, you had a relationship that was gold.”

On TKO Not Appreciating Legends:

“And now I don’t think that they look at Steve and Taker the same way. I’m talking about TKO… They just don’t show the appreciation. It’s almost kind of like having a president that has no experience in warfare that just kind of doesn’t get it.”
