Kevin Nash, the WWE legend gave his thoughts on the current WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
Kevin Nash compares himself with Roman Reigns
During an interview on The Hashtag Show Kevin Nash discussed about the gimmick change of ‘The Big Dog’. He said that he finds shades of himself in the evolution of Roman Reigns’ character just the way ‘Diesel’ character underwent a change.
He said:
“I think turning Roman was huge because they did with Roman what they did to Diesel. He was over as an ass-kicker then, they made him do the little teacup commercial and all that — I remember with the Santa Claus hat on. I was beating everybody’s ass. The next thing you know, I wish you a Merry Christmas in Titan Tower. Basically, [I was] just castrated, and then I did the tweener thing on my way out and got back over, and that’s when Diesel was, you know, the match with Bret [Hart] going forward was probably the best of Diesel because that’s who I was.”
He added:
“And I think that was a fact with Roman. Roman has a little bit of that… Number one, there are times where I’ve seen pictures, I’ll go through Twitter and I’ll say, ‘Is that me?’ I’m like, ‘No, that’s Roman’, because when I was Diesel, there’s a little bit — the tattoos of course, but now I’m changing. But I thought we both kind of had a similar look, and I said, ‘jeez, it’s almost like the kiss of doom, too.’ But I think now he’s situated where he needs to be.”
