| Nash will be back in the ring, his twice-a-day rehab sessions –
each lasting up to two hours – are a clear sign that the former World Champion
hasn’t wrestled his last match. In fact, Nash already has his return-goal: Royal
Rumble 2003, at nothing less than 100 percent. In his first sit-down
interview following the injury, Nash spoke with former WCW Magazine editor Ross
Forman.
Ross: When might you return to the ring?
Kevin: My goal is to come back for the Royal
Rumble. That’s what I’m shoot for. It’s an easy story-line fix.
Condition-wise, I just hope I’d be at the late end of the draw, perhaps 29 or 30.
You have to set goals and all successful athletes, and all
successful people as a whole, set goals. That’s what I’ve done … to be 100
percent, in better shape than I was or ever was before. And I don’t see myself not
obtaining that goal.
After that, I’d like to be involved in a major angle at WrestleMania. In a
perfect world, I’d like to be doing something with Hunter – with or against him.
I’d also like Shawn involved; I thought we had some magic when we were back together.
Rock also is someone I’d like to work with, and also, Hulk. There are others,
too; there’s a lot of great talent in that locker room.
Ross: What would you say in a "Dear Fans:" letter?
Kevin: I know there are a lot of people in this industry who
do not like me. They can have their opinion. At the same time, there are a lot of people
who do like me. And for those people, that’s one of the reasons I’m trying to
come back. I have a great, loyal fan-base; they mean an awful lot to me. |
