10 Biggest WCW Signings
WCW had some huge signings during their history
2. Kevin Nash
When Kevin Nash saw the money his best buddy Scott Hall was being offered to jump ship, Big Daddy Cool negotiated an equally sweet deal to come in alongside him. While Hall was a big star in his own right, Nash was even bigger.
As Diesel, he had held onto the WWE Title for 358 days and was – along with Hall, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and one or two others – one of the faces of WWE’s New Generation.
In WCW, Nash proved to be not just a big star, but also a smart son of a gun, as it was said he was the real ‘brains’ behind much of what the nWo did.
A master politician who knew how to game the system better than almost anybody, there were some who felt that Big Sexy’s backstage meddling and, ultimately, creative choices during his ill-fated spell as a booker, were a major contributor to WCW’s downfall.
Had Nash never joined, however, there may not have been anywhere from WCW to fall down from, so instrumental was he in WCW’s Monday Night Wars success.
