When WCW introduced the New World Order, Nash was there to lead the way, and become a multi-time World Champion with that organization. [1]

Nash at the Big Apple Convention in Manhattan, October 2, 2010. [...] Nash has wrestled under various ring names, but is most notably known by his real name in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and in World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), where he was known as Diesel in his first run with the company. [2]

Vegas and Page teamed up for a short run as the Vegas Connection but a year later, Nash, renamed Diesel, was in WWE, acting as the bodyguard of Shawn Michaels. [1]

He is also a one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and a two-time TNA Legends (now known as Television) Champion. [2]

Although at first Diesel was simply the silent muscle in Michaels’ corner, he soon became active in the ring, defeating Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) for the Intercontinental Championship on April 13, 1994. [1]

It’s no wonder that Kevin Nash, better known as BIG SEXY to his fans, is one of the most well known personalities in the wrestling business and has established himself not only in the realm of sports, but in the entertainment world as well. [...] He played basketball for the University of Tennessee and headed overseas for several years where his dream of becoming a pro-basketball player came true, playing for various European teams. [3]

He has achieved notable success in the tag team division as well, being a twelve-time world tag team champion: nine times in WCW, two times in WWF and once in TNA. [2]

Diesel was the last wrestler eliminated in the Royal Rumble 1996 by Shawn Michaels, which eventually led to a rift between the two men.

Diesel successfully defended the WWE title against Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble when the match ended in a draw due to massive outside interference from Backlund, Michaels, Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett and the Roadie (BG James). [1]
