I went to college in the midwest on wrestling scholarship. While i was there i dated a local waitress at a strip club. When the wrestlers were in town they always came in after the event. She calls me up and says there are these huge guys in the club and they are all crazy. I show up and its, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Xpac and Shawn Michaels. This was right before Hall and Nash moved to WCW. Nash was quiet and mostly kept to himself. Shawn Michaels was all over the club, practically bouncing off the walls, wearing a tank top and sweating constantly. Scott Hall refused to break character and acted like Razor Ramon all night, always saying he was going to give someone a "knuckle sandwich"  and following the girls all over the club lol. He and Xpac got sloppy drunk and acted like fools all night.
I did manage to talk to Nash for a bout thirty minutes at his table. He was really cool and answered every question i asked. He was huge in person, legit 7ft. I'm 6'2 at felt small even being next to him. He said the reason he was being quiet and not drinking much was because he was always has to be the babysitter for the other guys!


I've heard more than a few stories that Hall is/can be somewhat of a prick.
By all accounts, Hall, Kid, and HBK were always pegged as the "sloshes," with Nash & Hunter often carrying one or all of them back to their rooms after a night of "partying."

Supposedly, Nash developed a bit of an ego - especially after his brief title run, but he's usually been good with the fans.
I think, too, that a lot depends on how people approach him.
It sounds like you weren't the pestering mark/smark who was persistently ruining the guy's night.
That was quite common for wrestlers at that time.

I've also listened to Nash talk in interviews outside of wrestling; he sounds quite intelligent and well-spoken.

When I was a teenager I was in the locker room at a WCW event,my  brother asked Nash for a pic and he wouldn't do it, then he was talking to my dad and realized we were his kids and then wanted to take the picture with us.  He came off as a real  jerk.

Great find!!! Interesting how everyone has the same comments as us here on the board as to why wrestling stinks nowadays.

No gimmicks, squash matches, feud build-ups

Also Patera seems like a really good guy...

I remember being so involved that when Jake Roberts was sprayed in the face by Rock Martel i was genuinely concerned for him (the blindfold match was a brilliant concept as a result!). Same when Savage was bitten by the snake, brilliant TV and one hell of an emotional rollercoaster but everyone is injured so often these days and in the most ridiculous ways that nobody really cares.
