PWInsider reports:

The Bristol Press in Connecticut featured an article on Kevin Nash today, promoting his appearance for Northeast Wrestling.

Nash said he’s looking forward to appearing in an intimate venue and with running into Ric Flair, who is making an appearance at the show. “I really want to catch up with Ric. Actually, as soon as I heard he was going to be there, I knew it was a good time to go. I love doing these things because it’s nice to sit around and talk with the guys. It’s a fraternity of brothers. It’s also eye-opening when you’ve been wrestling for 20 years and there are guys in the business that you’ve never met.”

Nash said he credits genetics to his stardom. In regard to his recovery from the staph infection in his elbow, Nash said he would be back in the ring as soon as he could and until then, he’d maintain his bookings by making appearances.

When asked about steroid use in wrestling, Nash commented, “That was just the era and the look. No promoter told us to take them. Vince never mentioned them. We did it to compete. Now, I don’t think it’s a big deal because it’s a different era. Look at Samoa Joe; nobody thinks he takes steroids. There’s always going to be a genetic freak, and people are going to question him, but steroid use is very small. With our financial state in this country, do you think senators should be giving Roger Clemens the better part of a week to appear in front of them? Does he deserve it? But it’s all steroids, steroids, steroids. These senators need to worry about paying their taxes, not steroids. Honestly, cigarette smoke is just as bad. If cigarettes were developed today, the FDA would never approve it. But it’s entrenched. Maybe if there were steroid lobbyists things would be different.”

In regard to the Big Lazy nickname given to him and mentioned by Eric Bischoff in Bischoff’s book, Nash cracked, ““When Bischoff called me lazy, I was 7-foot and 300 pounds. When he gets to that size, he can let me know what lazy is.”

Others on the NEW show are Paul London, Reid Flair, Velvet Sky and Jimmy Hart. You can read the article here.
