- Kevin Nash appeared on ESPN Radio's Pro Wrestling Report, available at pwrshow.com, last night to talk about his return to WWE and more.

Nash noted that WWE flew him out of Daytona Beach, Florida so it would be easier on him. He said if TNA would have flown him out of the state, he would have to have driven from his home to Orlando, 90 miles, opposed to the few miles when traveling with WWE. Nash talked about how nice his accommodations were while staying in Boston.

The former World Champion noted that he signed paperwork and had a physical upon arriving to the arena. Nash said he spent about a half-hour with Triple H before shooting photos and video with WWE staff. He then met with Vince McMahon before hanging out with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, where he went over plans for the Rumble with Triple H.

Nash also noted that he talked with people from THQ, makers of SmackDown vs. RAW and All Stars, while he was at the Rumble.

Nash said that he is signed to a Legends contract and will meet with WWE officials on Wednesday of this week to talk about what's next. Under the Legends deal, Nash will likely be involved with things like action figures and DVD's.

Expect to see him in the next SVR or as some DLC or something this year. Not surprised he he spent a good amount of time hanging out with Trips since it's probably been a while.

He also said he would be signing an active deal on Wednesday. I wrote what he said in the interview last night:

Nash did a radio interview on the pro wrestling report and I listened to it, and I see why he went back to WWE.

He said TNA told him he wasn't a draw or essential anymore and offered him less money than he has ever been offered since he starting out wrestling. Nash said then they came calling months later and acting all respectful to talk him into doing the MEM angle for Spike, but they offered him less than he could make on social security because their exact response was they have to pay their rock stars in Jeff, Matt, and RVD.

He signed a Legends deal for games, toys, merch, and dvd. He will also be signing on for an actual active roster deal this week but won't be wrestling weekly while on the deal. He also thanked Vince and the guys in WWE for how they treated him and welcomed him back after all those years of being gone.

Nash also said Booker came back to the back and said he thought someone was behind him about to do a sneak attack for him to get that kind of pop. He also joked that there were as many WWE fans there to greet him and Booker at the airport as there were at a TNA house show. He also said they sent them a car, paid for dinner/wine, and got them secluded rooms to try and keep the surprise somewhat and they snuck them in CIA style. He also joked about the main difference between a theme park and an arena is that you have to do more walking and remember where you put your actual things because it isn't such a small space.

He said he looked around and only really knew Kane, Edge, Cena, Orton, Rey, and Show in the locker room. Then he said that he met Wade and they joked about their tweets. He also said he was shocked how all the top guys all come to the arena in buses and how he remembered that the Kliq and guys used to think they were pimping by sharing a Cadillac, whereas now you are slumming if you got a 40 inch bus instead of a 48.

Also said he chose to come out as Diesel and the reaction and respect he got from the fans and in the back made everyone of his 30 operations worth it over the years.

He also talked about how WWE's production quality is ahead of TNA and even was ahead of WCW's years ago, and that is another reason why the opportunities are limitless there for what they can do to build for a match or feud.

He said point blank what separates WWE from everyone else is that they always evolve and progress regardless of what any specific person or group tells them to do. They stay constant on their business approach and that is why they still are the top company and outlast anyone.

He also said you don't leave Ric Flair behind stranded because without guys like him their would be no business for the young guys to work for. If you are going to punish him, punish him but don't leave the guy stranded.

He also said he would be a manager, announcer, faction member, tag team partner, singles wrestler, GM, ambassador, or whatever they need him to do.

Nash also said Sting would be a damn fool to not come to WWE and face Taker at Mania. He said Kurt's deal is up in August and Scott Steiner needs to blow up one good time so they can do the MEM right.

Said the one guy he would want to work with at Mania is Taker in a perfect work, but this world and scenario isn't essentially perfect for him so he would say Kane, Wade, or Big Show.

He said the rock stars in TNA draw 600 and that the collective WWE band drew 20,000 so he is rolling with being just a member of a band. He also said WWE told him he can honor all of his commitments he made before coming back, but he has a clear schedule until Mania as far as WWE TV is concerned.

Lastly said he wishes TNA all the best in the world because he spent 4 years there, has buddies there, and some of the young guys were good to him. He also said Dixie was good to him and he wishes her to the best but they just don't have the money to allocate between guys right now and it was in their best interests for them to part ways.

Really good read and I find it funny they actually call Matt, Jeff and RVD rock stars when they barley draw. Pretty fucked up to offer Nash less money than he was even offered when he first started. Like yeah he is a old guy buy that is pretty disrespectful. Also find it funny they came crawling back not too long after. They really need to get a better grip on what they are doing.

no one in tna draws. to call matt hardy a draw is ridiculous, all he does is draw all the food.
