Vince McMahon Told WWE Hall Of Famer About His First Homosexual Experience
Kevin Nash has recalled Vince McMahon discussing his first “homosexual experience” with another WWE Hall of Famer.
On the most recent edition of Kevin Nash’s Kliq This podcast (available early from AdFreeShows), he aired an old interview with his late friend Scott Hall.
During the interview, Hall discussed how Vince McMahon pitched the idea of a feud with Goldust in WWE. To try to get his point across, the former WWE Chairman surprised Hall with a personal story from his hitchhiking days.
“I remember when Vince called me, and you gotta remember, this is a whole different era. We’re not allowed to fight on the floor, you don’t hit guys with chairs, nothing, and they’re real big on family entertainment.
“So Vince calls me in and they were doing the Goldust thing and he goes, ‘We’re gonna do this Goldust thing. We’re gonna do this thing with you’, and he goes, ‘He’s gonna be in love with you.’ I remember thinking like, what? I just went through a long angle with Shawn and I worked with Kev, who was like a big killer.”
At this point, to the confusion of both Hall and Nash, Vince McMahon decided to tell them about his first “homosexual experience”.
“He goes, ‘Let me tell you about my first homosexual experience’, and I remember sitting, me and Kevin were both sitting in Vince’s office at TV. I looked at Kevin and my first thought was, as opposed to your most recent, like you and Warrior on the bearskin rug?”
“He was talking about when he was living in North Carolina and was hitchhiking one time, and I don’t know anything about Vince’s past, but I’m thinking, hitchhiking from where, the pool to the country club? Like what?
“He said some guy picked him up and was like rubbing his hand on his leg. I’m thinking okay, now you told me. What does this have to do with wrestling? But I remember being really resistant to it. That wasn’t the way we were doing business.”
Kevin Nash went on to say he and Scott Hall had recalled that conversation many times in the years that followed. He also discussed what happened when Hall’s young son saw the storyline.
“Yes. Scott and I rehashed that conversation numerous times. I was so blessed to spend like 33 years of my life with that human being. Later on, the angle goes a little bit forward, and Scott’s in there with his son, Cody.
“Him and Cody are watching it and Goldust unzips his outfit, pulls it over, and there’s a heart and across it says Razor and Scott has to explain why this freak has a heart…Cody is like 10 or 11, enough to scar you.”
