10 Wrestling Geniuses you probably didn't know about

#9 Kevin Nash

Nash achieved a lot of success in every promotion for which he has wrestled

Kevin Nash is one of the smartest people to ever set foot in the squared circle. He achieved this distinction for a number of reasons. First, Nash was an instrumental figure in the creation and evolution of the New World Order (NWO), which was one of the most revolutionary and interesting storylines/factions in modern pro wrestling history.

Second, Nash was always an intelligent man because he managed to book himself/get booked in a way that allowed him to make the most out of so little. Although much has been said about Nash’s lack of grappling skill when compared to many of his compatriots, Nash proved himself to be a savvy businessman that took advantage of what he could do and did that well.

Nash also managed to make a considerable amount of money during his prime while being able to ‘get out of the business’, which is something that few wrestlers can say they managed to do.

After all, many ‘retired’ wrestlers have described how they feel a pull to return to the ring, but Nash is one that has managed to live a comfortable life without needing to return to the ring. It takes a very smart man to be able to make the right decisions that would allow someone to do that.
