Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Think you know where the Goldberg vs Gunther hype train is heaxded? Kevin Nash has other ideas—and they involve three-minute shock finishes, jealous ex-pros, and why one well-timed spear can flip an entire roster on its head. Sean Oliver keeps the gas pedal down, dragging Kev into tales you’ve never heard: chainsaws that bite harder than any wrestling bump, the backstage shovel incident that sent half the WCW locker room running, and the real reason Diesel never needed a gold belt to print money. Just when you’re settled in, the conversation swerves into live-wire territory. From...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Ever wondered how a single podcast jumps from a potential ten-billion-dollar Lakers cash-out to bunker-busting bombs and a rogue Coachman cameo? That’s the opening volley. Buckle in before the first coffee sip goes cold. Kev walks in fresh off spinal surgery and drops his new gym gospel. Stem-cell magic, the photo that shut up every doubter, and one training tweak you’ll steal before your next workout. The scale has never lied so loudly. Then the bell rings for real. One spear, one giant, and one very nervous champion. Kev maps out the scenario that could flip an entire pay-per-view,...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

There’s something about Beach Boys memories, fake concert tickets, and the scent of summer that brings out the best and rawest of Kevin Nash. This week, the conversation starts breezy and nostalgic—but like life, it takes some turns you don’t quite expect. If you’ve ever watched your kid sleep the night before a trip or stared at an empty room filled with echoes, you’ll feel this one. Kevin opens up in a way that few public figures ever do, especially around the birthday of his late son. It’s a vulnerable look at fatherhood, regret, love, and the kind of memories that hit you in...

You Can't Handle The Truth! show art You Can't Handle The Truth!

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Kevin Nash has had it. The gloves are off, and the truth is on the table. This week, Big Sexy tackles one of the most surprising WWE roster moves in recent memory—and he’s not holding back. Was R-Truth really let go to save a couple bucks, or is there more going on behind the curtain? Kevin and Sean dive into the rumors, the backstage vibe, and the business logic behind Truth’s shocking departure. But that’s just the beginning. From Magic Johnson’s 20-year contract to the sneaker culture boom to whether the Knicks are cursed by the ghost of Red Holzman, this episode sprawls across...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Kevin Nash has a lot on his mind this week, and it goes far beyond the Knicks. From getting high before a back workout to debating the collapse of American politics, this episode moves fast and hits hard. Expect tangents, truths, and a few curveballs only Big Sexy could throw. There’s a new movie in the pipeline, a Martin Short story that involves a robe, and some choice words about the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Nash shares a few memories from the road, reflects on his singing skills, and maybe overshares about what it's like to receive Uber Eats in nothing but a talk show gift. The...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Kevin Nash is not manning the grill this Memorial Day—he's lighting up the mic. In this week's episode, Kev and Sean chop it up over NBA playoff chaos, post-streaming residual despair, and what happens when you trust a 19-year-old with your house (spoiler: you shouldn't). If you've ever wondered how to fix a double knockdown in a wrestling match, why Logan Paul still hasn’t figured out pacing, or which luggage brand survives airport abuse, Big Kev has thoughts. Lots of them. Some rants, some philosophy, all gold. Sean tries to bait Kevin into grilling tips and apron-wearing fantasy...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

This week on Kliq This, Big Kev finally gets to check something off his bucket list—an overdue Roman holiday that was years in the making. But this isn’t your typical “celebrity goes to Europe” story. From chaotic baggage claim drama to a near-lost suitcase that almost derailed the entire vacation, Kevin and Sean unpack the highs, lows, and hilarity of international travel when you're 6'10" and fresh off bronchitis. What starts as a long-awaited romantic getaway turns into a globe-trotting saga that includes castle hikes with punishing inclines, a chance run-in with European mariachi...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver crack open the story of Paul Levesque — not just the wrestler, but the executive, the visionary, the man steering WWE through its post-Vince era. This isn’t your typical Triple H retrospective. It’s a candid, insider look at how Paul went from riding in the car with the Kliq to running the most powerful wrestling company in the world. And trust us — the way Kevin tells it, you’ll never look at an entrance, a storyline, or a WrestleMania moment the same way again. Kevin opens up like only a peer and friend of 30 years can, walking...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver find themselves smack dab in the middle of wrestling’s most chaotic season — post-Mania fallout, power shifts, prime bottle proposals, and maybe even a babyface extinction event. With The Rock’s latest public comments stirring speculation, Cena's heel turn drawing comparisons to the nWo era, and a few too many people tanning like it’s a contact sport, Kev weighs in with zero filter and even less patience. Beyond the squared circle, the guys get real about the grind of convention weekends, the economics of fandom, and the emotional cost...

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Fresh off a grueling WrestleMania weekend, Kevin Nash sits down to share a brutally honest, often hilarious look at what it takes to survive marathon meet-and-greet appearances in Las Vegas — fueled only by muscle milk, Gatorade, and a legendary sense of duty to the fans. Kev opens up about the physical grind, the validation he still feels from longtime supporters, and why pushing through the pain is just part of the deal when you’ve lived a life on the road. Expect sharp stories, heartfelt gratitude, and a few incredible survival tactics you won’t believe. But that's just the beginning....

Join Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver for another laid-back, no-filter conversation that dives deep into wrestling, life, and everything in between. Kevin opens up about the holiday season, the lure of huge lottery jackpots, and the reality of whether that kind of money would truly change his life. Sean keeps things lively with his anecdotes and takes on crowd behavior—because if you can’t laugh at a spontaneous sing-along or random flash mob, what can you do?

From there, the duo veers off into the world of ring psychology and what actually makes a “worker” in the wrestling business. It’s not always about high spots and fancy flips, but rather believability, storytelling, and the subtle art of controlling a crowd. Kevin shares memorable stories of wrestlers who understood this craft perfectly, and others who learned the hard way about when to ease off the gas.

The conversation also meanders through music, pop culture, and the strange quirks we develop over time—like how certain tunes can evoke powerful memories, or how a well-placed F-bomb can sometimes be the perfect exclamation point. You’ll hear Kevin recall moments that have shaped his perspective on performing, both in wrestling and in everyday life.

Throughout it all, the trademark candor and camaraderie shine through, leaving you feeling like you’re just hanging out with two friends who have seen and done it all. It’s an unfiltered look at the finer—and funnier—points of wrestling, with plenty of tangents that only Kevin and Sean can deliver. Pull up a seat, hit play, and let the guys give you their honest take on everything from power moves in the ring to the real motives behind billion-dollar ambitions.
