10 Reasons Why Kevin Nash Is Better Than CM Punk

#3 Guaranteed contracts

Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash changed the business forever with guaranteed contracts

One of the key professional wrestling personalities who share a ton of credit with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in this realm is former WCW President Eric Bischoff. When Hall parted ways with the WWE in mid-1996, Nash followed suit -- with Hall & Nash making a huge impact in WCW programming, on the 10th of June, 1996, as "The Outsiders".

I'd like to hark back to the time when CM Punk was fresh off his "Pipebomb" promo which transpired on the June 27th, 2011 episode of Monday Night RAW. Following which, on the August 15th, 2011 episode of RAW, Punk engaged in a war of words with Nash -- a promo in which the man, formerly known as "Diesel", absolutely destroyed Punk!

After Punk made a few comments about his younger sister stating how she thought Nash was dead -- with Punk thereby throwing shade at Nash's age (Kevin was around 52 years old at the time) -- "Big Daddy Cool" fired back at Punk, stating that if it weren't for Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, wrestlers like Punk wouldn't have the luxury of guaranteed contracts.

In simple terms, Hall and Nash jumping ship from WWE to WCW, shook up the industry, as both WWE and WCW then began offering their respective stars guaranteed contracts. Well, although CM Punk loyalists may claim that he shook up the business, the numbers prove that it was indeed Kevin Nash who revolutionized professional wrestling in 1996, 3 years before Punk made his debut in 1999...
