Kevin Nash had a huge outburst backstage at tonight’s TNA Impact taping following Chris Sabin’s injury. Following the match, Nash was screaming to whoever would listen that the production of the match should have been halted because of Sabin’s injury and was loudly complaining that the company continued on with the match when it was obvious Sabin had injured his neck.
TNA sources also confirmed that when Nash went out before the crowd and made reference to the incident and that the company should have halted the match, he was going into business for himself and shooting. It wasn’t something scripted for him or added to his promo at the last second by TNA creative. I suspect those comments will be edited off the 10/29 Impact broadcast.
One rumor making the rounds is that Nash was screaming at Team 3D for the situation, but according to witnesses I spoke to, there isn’t anything to that. I was told Nash wasn’t yelling at 3D or any other talents during his tirade but more screaming and “throwing a tantrum to anyone in ear shot” about the production truck not being responsible to the wrestlers.
As one source noted about that story, had Nash been complaining about 3D continuing the match and “not protecting Sabin” following the injury, there would be a lot of irony there as when Nash blew out his quadriceps during a July 2002 episode of Monday Night Raw, it was Brother Ray who immediately realized something was wrong and pulled Nash to the ropes during a 10 Man tag bout.
There’s no word yet as to whether TNA management spoke to Nash following his outburst and unscripted comments on the mic.
