Kevin Nash Claims Hulk Hogan’s N-Word Scandal Was a “Complete Hit Job”

Kevin Nash isn’t holding back when it comes to how Hulk Hogan’s legacy is being remembered—and he’s pointing fingers at the way Hogan’s N-word controversy played out.

On his Kliq This podcast, Nash spoke about his longtime friendship with Hogan and revealed that he was asked to participate in an upcoming Netflix documentary about the late wrestling legend. While he agreed to be interviewed, Nash didn’t hide his skepticism about how those types of projects are usually edited.

“They’re doing a Netflix special on Hulk and they asked me to be a part of it. I’ve done several of these things—you talk for nine hours, and they find a way to cut together three sentences to make you look like an a**hole.”

Still, Nash went ahead with it and said he spent a large portion of the interview recounting how closely he had worked and traveled with Hogan throughout the years.

“I said I would do it, and I spent half my time saying I spent a lot of days, from morning till night, with him. I never heard him drop an n-bomb—ever.”

Nash emphasized that when someone is truly racist, they tend to show it through their language. And in his experience, that word was never part of Hogan’s vocabulary.

“If you’re around someone who’s racist, they use that word. There are guys in my gym, I hear them talk amongst themselves, and they say stuff—especially when Obama was President.”

When the controversial tape dropped in 2015—capturing Hogan using the N-word while also engaging in a sex act with his best friend’s wife—Nash said he was personally disturbed. But as a white man, he admitted he didn’t feel it was his place to offer a defense.

“So it’s like—I never heard Terry use the n-word. In that case, I have no defense for him. There’s nothing I can say. I’m not Black. I don’t have the right to speak on it. Personally, I found it offensive. It did change how I felt, because I had never heard it from him before.”

Even though Nash didn’t excuse the language, he couldn’t help but wonder about the timing and how the footage came out.

“But I also tried to dig deeper and figure out—why did it come out this time, of all times, after everything else he’s been through? It’s on tape. That’s the part that always got me. I never heard the guy say it in my life, and the one time I do—it’s on tape? Along with a sex tape?”

That’s when Nash floated his most controversial opinion: the entire situation may have been orchestrated to destroy Hogan’s reputation.

“How much of that whole situation was a setup? I look at it as a complete hit job. Who’s to say it wasn’t? You get a sex tape of him sleeping with his best friend’s wife and the n-word in one single tape? And nobody else?”

Kevin Nash isn’t trying to rewrite history—but he’s raising serious questions about how it all played out. Whether you believe it was a targeted takedown or just a case of someone’s darkest moment going public, one thing is clear: Nash thinks the entire scandal deserves a second look.
