** Go back and watch him when he was Vinnie Vegas, what little footage there is on the WWE Network. Compared to his second run in WCW he's moving like Tiger Mask. The gimmick itself is hilarious, even if Nash has [[Main/OldShame completely disowned it.]]

* For a man with a reputation of not being that great of a wrestler (and being incredibly injury prone himself), Nash was able to go his entire career without injuring ''anyone'' with a powerbomb, which is a legitimately dangerous move even when done properly (see: Wrestling/{{Vader}} for one of many examples). The closest he got to hurting anyone was [[Wrestling/BigShow The Giant]], who he had no business picking up and dropped on his neck. Despite their similar sizes, he didn't take into account The Giant's odd proportions due to acromegaly, but fortunately, those same proportions likely kept Giant's neck from breaking.

Nash had actually successfully executed the powerbomb on Giant months before... when Giant was about 75 lbs. lighter[[/note]], but fortunately, those same proportions likely kept Giant's neck from breaking.

As everyone from the crowd to the commentators to the wrestlers themselves sits awestruck, he slowly puts on his black glove, walks into the ring, and proceeds to ''clean house.'' In the first couple of seconds, he delivers a strong right to Wrestling/WadeBarrett and Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}, a punt kick to Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr, sends Wrestling/KofiKingston into a turnbuckle and clotheslines ''Wrestling/JohnCena.''

* In a mix of both CMOF and CMOA, his "Big Sexy The Giant Killer" promo after the aforementioned dropping the Giant on his head (seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XxEwSfRAXw here]]) is a great mix of both legitimate humor, dickheaded heel arrogance and the origin of one of the best [[RedBaron nicknames]] in wrestling.

** That was Nash's entrance to Fingerpoke of Doom, by the way. Some say the pyros are still going off to this day. At one point, Nash looks back and is like, "...Jesus, still?"
