Pro Wrestling Real Life Stories: Episode 2 - Chris Jericho, Goldberg, Booker T and what really happened backstage on RAW

#6 Kevin Nash -- Chris Jericho's 'mantis'

Chris Jericho memorably referred to Kevin Nash as a 'giant mantis', while recalling his incident with Goldberg. It's common knowledge that Jericho and Nash weren't on the best of terms back in WCW--particularly with Nash famously branding Jericho as well as other performers such as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit as "vanilla midgets".

Anecdotes:

In his memoir, Chris Jericho recalled what happened moments before his fight with Goldberg--"It was Goldfinch's (*not a typo) first RAW and I worked with Triple H vs. Shawn and Booker T. And after the match I was pulled aside and informed that Goldsmith (*again, not a typo) had spent the entire match barking about how I didn't know how to sell properly and how I hand't wanted to do business with him in WCW."

"I marched straight into the dressing room, and I saw Kevin Nash sitting in the corner like a giant praying mantis acting like he owned the place, while Billy boy sat across from him with a self-indulgent smile on his face."
