Kevin Nash has shared his views on the WWE and their move to Netflix next year.
He spoke on the latest episode of the Kilq THIS podcast. He explained how the WWE nowadays have to cater to multiple demographics, unlike in the Attitude Era. The former WWE Champion added that media is changing, and nobody can silence him on his podcast and stop the hosts talking about what they want to.
“I always felt that there should be… it’s like anything else, there should be a version of this that’s like a movie. There’s a reason why people want to go see a robot carry a duck around. That’s animation we want to watch,” Nash explained.
“I think if you’re an entertainment company, you’ve got to perform entertainment for more than one demographic. We’re in whatever spot, but when it comes down to it, if you’re not — you and I could do this show, and we could “motherfuck” everybody. If we lost our advertising, we’d lose it,” Nash added. “But we would never lose our ability to speak whatever we want to speak about.”
Kevin Nash Doesn’t Think Raw On Netflix Gives Wrestlers More Freedom For Promos
Kevin Nash explained why he doesn’t think Raw moving to Netflix will give the wrestlers more freedom, noting how the business has changed since he was a wrestler.
“I just wish they would take an hour and call it Raw, or two hours and put it on Netflix, and let people cut promos like people cut promos.” Kevin Nash explained. “I don’t know, because you still have to have control. You can’t run Curb Your Enthusiasm. You can’t give everybody just, ‘Hey, this is kind of the premise.’ That doesn’t work.”
“That’s how it was when you were there. We still stayed within the guideline. The actual verbiage might not have, you know, but what the verbiage was supposed to incite… the direction it was supposed to go… that was always clear. We knew that. You’re going to try to rile him up, he’s going to try to come back at you, and we’re pushing it toward something.”
“So, if you just go out there and cut a promo, it’s not like you’re going to go out there and… you know, I’m working against Roman Reigns, and I cut a promo on Cody. It’s still a structured, written episodic, right? It’s just different.”
