Kevin Nash Explains Why He Doesn’t Remember Winning WCW World Titles

Kevin Nash has held world titles, headlined major pay-per-views, and helped revolutionize wrestling with the NWO—but when it comes to remembering those moments, he admits he can’t.

Speaking at River City Wrestling Con, Nash revealed that the non-stop grind of pro wrestling has left huge chunks of his career lost to memory. And no, it’s not because of drugs or partying. It’s the schedule. He addressed the misconception that his memory lapses were due to drug use:

“You’re on the road 300-plus days a year. I don’t remember. It’s not because I was on narcotics or anything. I drive every day.”

Nash said even when he watches clips of his biggest moments—like title wins—he draws a blank. These weren’t dozens of meaningless wins. He’s talking about major accomplishments:

“I’ll watch Instagram. I’ll watch two-minute tapes of me winning the WCW World Title with a chair shot, a guitar shot, Booker T getting powerbombed — and I’m like, I don’t remember.”

“And I win. I leave the ring with the championship belt. And I’m like, I don’t remember that match. And I only won it five times there. So it wasn’t like there was a bunch of times.”

To put it in perspective, Nash compared the wrestling grind to any normal job—except you’re rarely home and constantly performing:

“That’s the whole thing about wrestling. People think you’re aloof or something… but how many people remember getting their first paycheck at their first job?”

In Nash’s world, even the highest points can feel like a blur when you’re never allowed to stop and process them. This wasn’t a confession—it was a reality check. Kevin Nash explained why the wrestling lifestyle takes more than just a physical toll. When every day is spent on the road, even your biggest wins can disappear from memory.
