In what is being reported as the Kevin Nash’s official Tumblr account the former TNA star says his goodbyes to TNA wrestling:
“The most significant aspect of anyone’s life is the relationships that they build. Sometimes in personal growth and closure, these relationships are strained, if not broken. In this past week, I had to break relationships in order to receive closure in others. I would first off thank Jeff Jarrett for inviting me back into the wrestling world upon my completion of ‘The Longest Yard’. Alot of people don’t realize what a close relationship Jeff and I have. In the dog days of the WWF, I’m sure we traveled more than a million miles together. What he went through with the loss of his wife Jill and the happiness he’s now found, while trying to keep TNA together, was amazing to witness.
What Bob Carter did to make sure this dream stayed alive, I can only say Sir you have my utmost respect. To Serge and Dixie, who I consider my friends, I wish them continued success. And now the hardest part.
To the Boyz, that means you too Knockouts, we’ve laughed, cried and bitched all along knowing how lucky we were to be pro-wrestlers. So few people get to truly go to work and do what they love. Me leaving TNA was a decision my wife and I made. For 23 years my wife has put up with this shit of ME making decisions of everyday life. 14 of those have affected my son.
After 3 yrs of self doubt and thoughts of quitting the business, I met Vince McMahon and within 24 hrs of helping Shawn Michaels win the ICC, I MEANT something. And I haven’t looked back. The glass is way less than half full. My wife and I had a long discussion and I told her how important it was for me to end my career where I began. I think it took her 2 seconds to agree.
I don’t know how many of you have seen Vanilla Sky. Don’t know if Boston was real or lucid dream. When they chanted Diesel, it sure as hell felt real for ME! You make decisions in life, sometimes never getting proof that it was the right decision. The crowd in Boston on Sunday night assured me that I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. I can’t thank the WWE enough for making it happen for me. My true friends at TNA text and called with their love and support w/in hours. Don’t think it will ever be forgotten. Didn’t realize how much I missed Diesel.”
I have the utmost respect and love in the world for Kevin Nash. Being able to watch him everyday gave me the strength, motivation, and fortitude to keep moving forward and to not give up.
He kept me from killing myself. Without what he was able to give me in my youth…I would not be here if it wasn’t for him. So Kevin, thank you from my heart and soul and god bless you brother.
Glad to see you one last few times as Diesel. To go out at Mania against Show would be awesome. Now, time to kick Micheal Myers and Jason Vorhees’s butts next.
Well done Kevin. Congratulations on your return to WWE. You have made the right decision brother. I miss those days watching WWF where legends like you used to wrestle. I miss those wonderful and glorious moments of WWF. I am sure everyone who is a true WWF/WWE fan will appreciate your comeback. Hurry up bro, I cant wait to hear the Diesel Diesel chant from the crowd. Best of luck.
