WWE Hall of Famer comments on modern wrestling: "I thought it was a work"

A WWE legend recently shared his thoughts on modern wrestling and the risks today's performers are taking. The star in question was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a singles star in 2015 and then again as a member of nWo in 2020.

Kevin Nash took to social media today to react to Arn Anderson's comments about today's wrestling. Anderson noted that he had a ton of respect for the wrestlers but suggested that they were taking too many risks and used Charlotte Flair's Moonsault as an example.

Nash agreed with Anderson's sentiment about today's product on social media and noted that he thought professional wrestling was supposed to be a work.

"100% Arn. Once the German suplex hit the mat careers were drastically shortened. We're destroyed by the volume of bumps taken 300 days a year. Now the schedule is lighter but the bar so high it only takes one misstep and their lives are changed. I was taught it was a work..." he wrote.

Arn Anderson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of The Four Horsemen in 2012.

Kevin Nash reacts to Gunther's promo on WWE RAW

Wrestling legend Kevin Nash was not a fan of Gunther's promo on WWE RAW after he retired John Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event.

Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash suggested that The Ring General should have begun his promo in German before insulting the crowd to get more heat. Nash suggested that it would have been more impactful than the promo fans saw earlier this month.

"I thought that if he would have went out, got underneath the bottom rope, was handed the microphone. If he would have cut a promo in German and then started to walk toward the aisleway as he was leaving, and then realized, 'Oh sh*t' and he came back and he goes, 'For those of you that don't speak German, what I was saying was, I tapped him out like a b*tch.' F*cking mic drop, walk out. He would've had heat. Gotta have heat, man," he said.

Only time will tell what the impact of today's style of wrestling will have on the performers down the road.
