3 Wrestlers Kevin Nash Is Good Friends With And 2 He Probably Doesn't Like

#2 Friend: The Undertaker

WWE legends Kevin Nash and The Undertaker have a ton of respect for one another

Kevin Nash and The Undertaker have always known to have shared cordial relations outside the ring. Nash as "Diesel" had a memorable feud with the Deadman around the 1996 Royal Rumble--when the former interfered in The Undertaker's match against Bret Hart.

With the WWF World Heavyweight Championship on the line, The Undertaker had Bret Hart reeling and almost beat--only for an outside interference from Diesel leading to 'Taker winning by Disqualification (DQ). As is tradition in the WWE, the title cannot change hands by way of DQ unless specified as such--with Hart retaining the title.

Diesel would then go on to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 12 in March of 1996; where the former would lose to the Phenom. Kevin Nash has often narrated the story of The Undertaker standing up for him as well as the WWE, against Hart, around the time that 'Taker and Nash were engaged in the forenamed feud.

One of the most notable backstage incidents that transpired in WWE history was Bret Hart refusing to take Kevin Nash's finisher, the "Jackknife Powerbomb", in their WWF World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage match at WWF In Your House 6: Rage In The Cage--an event which took place on February 18th, 1996 in Louisville, Kentucky. In ensuing years, several wrestlers including Nash, have corroborated that WWE boss Vince McMahon wanted Nash, Hart and The Undertaker to continue their angle which gained a tremendous amount of steam after Nash cost 'Taker the title at the Royal Rumble.

Considering that Diesel aka Nash interfered in their match at the 'Rumble and costed The Undertaker the WWF title, the original booking was to have The Undertaker interfere in Diesel's Steel Cage match against Hart at In Your House 6--where he would've pulled Nash inside the cage while Hart escaped. However, before the match, Hart refused to look weak after taking Nash's finisher; alluding that if he took Nash's finisher, looked weak and then climbed out the cage owing to outside interference from The Undertaker, the "Bret Hart" character would appear to have been beaten by Diesel.

For a considerable amount of time, Hart had been engaged in heated discussions backstage with Vince McMahon--something that Diesel and The Undertaker witnessed first-hand. Addressing this issue on a YouShoot interview a few years ago, Kevin Nash praised The Undertaker--noting that while Hart continued disagreeing with Nash, The Undertaker literally jolted out of his chair to the latter's defense...While Hart ultimately didn't take the finisher, the ending was partially agreed upon as evidenced in the video below--with The Undertaker dragging Diesel inside the ring, while Hart climbs out the cage to win the match.

Addressing the controversial backstage moments which transpired before the match, Nash recalled that The Undertaker screamed the following phrase at Bret Hart--"Moth********, not everything is about you!". Well, it'd come as no surprise that to this day, Kevin Nash and The Undertaker (Mark Calaway)--having supported each other back in their primes--still share a great amount of mutual respect and friendship...
