Kevin Nash Compares Controversial WWE Incident To United States National Tragedy

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash made a comparison between one of professional wrestling’s most infamous moments to a major event in U.S. history.

In an episode of his podcast “Kliq This,” Kevin Nash drew a parallel between the notorious Montreal Screwjob and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Responding to a fan’s question about whether the Montreal Screwjob was a staged event between Vince McMahon and Bret Hart, Nash made a bold statement:

The Montreal Screwjob is our JFK assassination.

The Montreal Screwjob took place on November 9th, 1997, during WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view. It involved a controversial conclusion to the WWE Championship match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, which was orchestrated by Vince McMahon without Hart’s knowledge or approval. The incident has remained one of the most hotly debated moments in wrestling history, with countless theories about who knew what and when.

Nash’s comment was not intended to trivialise the tragic nature of the JFK assassination. Instead, he was highlighting the way conspiracy theories have surrounded both events. Just as the assassination of President Kennedy has led to decades of speculation and alternative narratives, the Montreal Screwjob continues to fuel rumours and debate among fans and industry insiders.

The fan’s question, which prompted Nash’s remark, proposed that if the Screwjob were indeed a work, it would be one of the greatest deceptions in professional wrestling. This is especially significant considering that all major parties involved have stuck to their stories for nearly three decades.

Which Three WWE Hall Of Famers Does Kevin Nash Believe Are The Stiffest He Ever Worked With?

Kevin Nash spoke about which three fellow WWE Hall of Famers were the stiffest that he ever worked with and gave some surprising names including Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and the late Scott Hall. Nash said that Bret was stiff because he was attempting to make the performance look real and due to his friendship with Michaels and Hall they were more stiff with him because they had more of an understanding between each other.
