Just for the record, I didn't say this.
And as far as my comment regarding the evidence that the WWF has for worrying about Hall screwing up, and people citing Hall's obviously checkered history--that is not evidence of the WWF's worry. It is the reason that the WWF *should* be worried. Evidence of the WWF's worry would be any statements WWF officials have made, actions that they have or are taking to demonstrate that they fear a relapse.
I'm with the guy who stated that the relationship betweenconcerns about Hall and Nash's lack of wrestling is spurrious.

What the hell was that shit he was doing on Smackdown when he got the Spit Punch of Doom? Was was floundering around like he couldn't get his fat ass over the top rope. At 7 foot that is pathetic.
I said it's pathetic.

I think it comes down to actual in ring work Hall can work whereas the other two cannot... I'm not saying Hall is anything special in the ring or hasn't been known to mail it in but the man does have an actual moveset and he can take a bump somthin that BIG LAZY had serious trouble doing lastnight in the simple execution of selling a Rock Punch and going over the tope rope...
I nearly pissed my pants laughing at big poochie as he totally misjudges his surroundings and instead of going over the top rope backwards a standard move by every wrestler in the history of this biz he gets tangled between the bottom and middle rope WTF!!!
There is no such thing as Old School or New School...There is only one School either you get it or you don't...
"Hey Rock just give us a second." As CRZ would say, thanks for coming out tonight, Nash.

Ha! Even the sheep know Nash sucks.
Though, seriously, Big Kev looked RATHER LOST in there last night. How hard is it for a 7' guy to fall over the top rope?
Paul Wight is taller outweighs Nash by 150 lbs at least and he can go over the top rather flawlessly.
Most big men in wrestling are stiff as hell. Remember Andre, Big John Studd, Kurrgan, etc. There are exceptions to the rule tho (i.e. Kane). It just seems to me people expect Nash to perform like a Benoit, and since he can't he's lazy.
I'm not saying Nash isn't lazy, but considering the fact that all we have seen so far is him screw up selling a punch, i think its too soon to judge.

For God's sake, the rope is at your waist! You can practically trip over it! Besides the rope thing, with both throwing AND selling punches, he looks like a god damn idiot! I took a 5 year break of wrestling, which coincided with the Kliq era of WWF, so how the hell did Nash ever get so famous? I know it was the NWO, but he still had to be pretty big before hand for the NWO to even work the first time. Is it just age, or did he ever know how to sell a punch? Maven looks like a veteran compared to him.
I think we now know the real answer to why Hall is fighting at Mania and not Nash!

He hadn't backed up enough. Rock gave him those first few punches, and he sold them backing up about half a step. In the end, he hadn't backed up enough to the ropes and he had to try to throw himself over them. He wan't able to.
I don't see any big deal here. He had a little trouble with one bump, which would have been pretty difficult for alot of guys.

...who don't know how to wrestle.
Sorry, but this is Nash's JOB. It's not long he has a vast array of bumps in his arsenal. The "tall guy bouncing out over the top rope" bump is pretty standard.
In his defense, he got it right on the second try.

We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool Stay out all night, it's gonna feel all right...
This was his first time bumping like that in a WWF ring in 6 years, he mat not have been used to the dimensions of the ring and lost track of where he was.

common sense, or presumptuous bitching? Did Nash tell you this?

I'll cop to the "bitching" part. You caught me, Perry Mason!
But one man's presumption is another man's logic. And based on the kind of guy he is, and the condition his body is in, I think it's logical to reach the conclusion that Nash wants no part of match action.
There was talk that he might face Big Show at Mania, but we as fans, saw a little bit too much of that situation in WCW. Then again, I wouldn't mind seeing it again in the WWF.
