Kevin Nash had an embarrasing time in WCW — Kevin Nash had an embarrassing time in WCW

Kevin Nash is a WWE Hall of Famer and one of the greatest stars in WWE back in the 1990s, but it seems that even he is trying to forget one of the gimmicks he was given early in his WCW career.

During Nash's first run in WCW back in 1991, he came to the ring dressed as a wizard called OZ. He looked like a participant in a Halloween costume contest as approached the ring complete with silver hair and a beard.

Thankfully, Nash is one of very few wrestlers of that era that were able to overcome humiliating gimmicks to be able to make a name for themselves, but this does just go to show that even the biggest legends of the business had to earn their dues before they were given opportunities.
