The buzz going around the RAW locker room last night was that Kevin Nash has some kind of nerve injury in his back that caused him to faint in the lobby of a hotel in Australia. The severity of the injury is still unknown; however, he was taken off the last two Australia shows for precautionary measures.
While on the subject of Nash, he has been telling those close to him that he landed a part in a movie that will require to him to cut his hair extremely short or shave it completely bald. This is when WWE decided to go through with a hair vs. hair match with Chris Jericho to incorporate the shorter hair in with a storyline.
God, I hope this is true. Because if it is, not only does it mean Nash will have to take off from wrestling for a little while, but it also means we might get to see bald Nash. For some reason, I have some sick excitement of seeing that.

Seriously, I'm actually kinda surprised that WWE is letting Jericho be the one that gets the enormous heat from cutting Nash's hair. You'd figure it'd be Orton or, god forbid, HHH.
(edited by Big Bad on 5.8.03 1452) All right, I'm enjoying Rhyno's "man-beast" gimmick: He keeps his hair long, wears full-body wrestling tights with a big "R" on the back and uses the "Rhino Gore" as his finishing move. Can't you imagine him watching the Discovery Channel one day while tossing around possible gimmicks and having one of those "Hey, wait a second!" epiphanies during a rhino segment?
To spruce things up, the WWF should give Undertaker and Kane last names -- like Undertaker and Kane O'Brien, the O'Brien Brothers -- just for comedy's sake. Hopefully the door's still open.
RVD is approaching the always-exciting "The crowd loves him, but he's not getting a major push yet" phase which helps makes wrestling so much fun. It only happens once every few years -- Stone Cold in '96, The Rock in '98, Shawn Michaels in '93 and so on. -- ESPN's Bill Simmons back in 2001
I see they're finally green-lighting the filming of ``Lazy and Lazier.''
But does Buff Bagwell have to shave his hair, too?

I eagerly anticipate short-haired Nash. He looked like quite the goof in WCW and early Diesel with the short black hair. Plus, there will be no more hair flipping in his matches.
There are few things that I thought could never happen in wrestling and Kevin Nash shaving his head was one of them.
Considering there was no acceptance by Nash on RAW, I assume that they're going to wait and do the match at Unforgiven but they also gave away Kane's unmasking for free so who knows.
I'm thrilled just because of what Big Bad's suggested. I really DO hope Y2J gets the heel heat, because besides Kane and Evolution, Jericho's been the most over heel on RAW for some time. And consider this-- Jericho hasn't had a HUGE push or lots of time to revamp/develop his character lately. He's been heel for about two years now, and a solid one at that. Sure he's got the Highlight Reel, but that to me is just an extension of Jericho's heel personality.
And if this IS the case, I have to applaud Kevin Nash. I hate to admit it, but he hasn't exactly been WCW awful lately. (Waiting for t'mayduhs to get thrown at me)
EDIT: Errors! Damn I need caffeine.

Wait a minute. Jericho getting heel heat for taking Nash's hair? This is NASH. How can you get heat for scalping a very large midcarder? Jericho's gonna be a hero to millions (again) for all the jokes he'll make at Nash's bald expense.
Now if he took Booker's dreads or RVD's ponytail or HBK's, then he'd be Public Enemy Barber No. 1.

Damn, ya beat me to it!
And I thought of Unforgiven too (Metallica joke?), and not next week`s RAW. Despite it being a RAW-only PPV, the thought did cross my mind, "Would I drive out to Hershey to see Jericho shave Nash`s head?"

Uhhhh, yeah, like Nash will let Jericho, a guy he never liked in WCW humilate him on TV. WWE has been on the tear with the hair care latley, this way Jericho losses, they get to kill two birds with one stone.
I can even see them putting Jericho over, but Nash comes down to the ring with the hair already chopped off. A very Nashy thing to do.
Originally posted by tasslexHow exactly does this get Y2J HEEL HEAT? Everyone hates Nash! It'll turn him Face.
No dear, everyone does not hate him.
Oh Nash, the hair, the hair! I don't what to think, I'll wait and see...how..he...looks. Whaa!
I almost never hear him get cheered, it's always luke-warm at best, unless he's with other popular faces, such as HBK. I always hoped he would do well and become popular as I think he plays a pretty fun character, but the crowds don't appear to be interested. Also, his Powerbomb SUCKS.

When my mom dies I'd like to know it was peacefully in her sleep, and not fucked to death by 38 men with AIDS.
If Nash loses his hair, won't he always be confused with an older, taller, less athletic Kurt Angle?
