A former WWE Champion has opened up about an angle involving a fake leg back in the day. Kevin Nash faced Shawn Michaels at an In Your House pay-per-view, which involved the legendary Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon and his prosthetic leg.
On the latest episode of the Kliq This podcast, a fan asked Nash about his No Holds Barred Match against Michaels at In Your House Seven: Good Friends, Better Enemies in 1996. It involved an angle where the former Diesel took off Vachon's prosthetic leg to use it as a weapon.
"I think that Vachon pitched the idea. All I remember is talking to him and I said, 'I'm going to pull you over the railing.' I said, 'Give me the iggy, 'cause I sure as hell don't want to pull it off. We did so many things in that match. The fire extinguisher, [and] powerbomb through the table. We did a lot of things," Nash said. [0:18 - 0:50]
