Former WWE and WCW world champion Kevin Nash just finished a movie, is filming another and has been rumored to be taking over the reins at TNA Wrestling -- but he still found time to give me an update on the world of pro wrestling as he sees it.
Nash is in China working on a new action film, but his fans soon can see him on the big screen as one of the guards in ''The Longest Yard.'' The movie's supporting cast also includes Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bill Goldberg and Bob Sapp.
As for his future in wrestling, Nash said doing 225 nights on the road is just not going to happen anymore. Nash has been rumored to be the man in line to take over for Dusty Rhodes, who left as the booker for TNA, but over the years he has learned that doing it alone just won't work.
''No one person can do it,'' Nash said. ''TNA has a lot of young talent better than what the WWE has to offer, but the company needs a new approach and a whole new set of rules.''
The feeling is that the TNA product has too much of a southern, rural feel, and that approach just won't fly in suburban markets -- especially if the company is to secure a deal with WGN.
''It's too rural, especially in a hip-hop, NBA, urban time,'' Nash said. ''Changes need to be made, but this thing can be fixed right away.''
