Kevin Nash had a fantastic wrestling career spanning over two decades. He was a top guy in promotions like WWE, WCW, and TNA, winning world titles several times. The Big Daddy Cool was a decent wrestler in his prime. Whether as Diesel in WWE or Kevin Nash in WCW and TNA, he produced good matches against numerous opponents.

For a guy of his size, Nash was agile in the ring, but subsequent injuries slowed him down. However, just like any wrestler with a lengthy career, Kevin Nash also had been involved in bad storylines and forgettable matches.
10 Royal Rumble 2011
Kevin Nash's Diesel character made his return to the WWE ring for the first time in fifteen years. Nash returned with the gimmick at Royal Rumble, and his presence was prosaic, as he was eliminated easily.
Diesel lasted just two minutes and forty-five seconds in that match. Given how Diesel was booked as a top star in his prime, the short-lived Royal Rumble return was embarrassing. Wade Barrett eliminated Diesel, and the latter didn't make any elimination.
9 Kevin Nash Vs Santino Marella (RAW, December 5, 2011)
Kevin Nash wrestled on RAW for the first time in eight years in 2011 when he faced Santino Marella. The match is probably forgotten by a myriad of fans. Nash, who was having a rivalry with Triple H, wanted to send a message to the latter through Santino Marella.
As expected, it was a squash match, with Nash pinning Marella following a Jackknife Powerbomb.
8 Kevin Nash Vs Triple H ( TLC 2011)
Considering Kevin Nash was already in his 50s after his big return to WWE in 2011, his matches were mediocre. His age and past injuries were the main reasons for his back-to-back substandard performances.

Nash's rivalry with Triple H culminated at TLC 2011, where they had a sledgehammer ladder match. Had this been in their prime, the match would have been amazing, but that ladder match is hardly remembered today. In addition, with quad injuries of both men in the past, they looked extra cautious on a ladder. Triple H emerged victorious.
7 Kevin Nash Vs The Rock (SmackDown, March 21, 2002)
A dream match between The Rock and Kevin Nash should have been memorable, but today, barely any fan remembers that they have already crossed paths in a singles match on SmackDown.
The match was good, as both men were younger and still in their prime. However, the interference from Scott Hall ruined it. When The Great One was about to pin Nash with a People's Elbow, Hall attacked The Rock, ending the match in disqualification.
6 Kevin Nash Vs Scott Steiner (Superbrawl Revenge, 2001)
In the dying days of WCW, most of their matches were outlandish with ridiculous stipulations, which also played a part in its demise. A fine example of it was the WCW World Heavyweight Championship battle between Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash at Superbrawl Revenge in 2001.
First, Nash pinned Steiner within seventeen seconds after attacking him with the big gold. But Ric Flair ruled out the win, announcing it a two out of three falls match under no disqualification. After interferences from different wrestlers, Steiner stood tall.
5 Kevin Nash & Scott Hall Vs Team 3D (TNA LockDown, April 18, 2010)
With The Outsiders teaming up as a tag team against Team 3D, the match looked good on paper, but it didn't deliver in the ring. Since it was a tag team match inside the cage, the fans had high hopes, but the match was forgettable.
Both Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, especially the latter, looked far from ready to be in the ring. Except for some basic punches, kicks, and brawl outside the ring, they didn't do much throughout the match. After putting Hall through the table, Team 3D won the bout.
4 Diesel Vs King Mabel (SummerSlam 1995)
Diesel, then the WWE Champion, main evented SummerSlam 1995 against King Mabel. Even though it headlined the biggest party of the summer, the match was not up to par.
Mabel injured Diesel for real in that match, which was a reason his mainevent push stopped afterward. Following intervention from Sir Mo and Lex Luger, Diesel managed to retain the gold.
3 Kevin Nash Vs Scott Hall (TNA, March 15, 2010)
Former best buddies Scott Hall and Kevin Nash faced each in a singles match in TNA. With both of them being over 50 and far from in-ring shape, the match was disastrous and probably the most forgettable match between these legends.

Scott Hall was so out of shape that he competed wearing a casual t-shirt and pants.
2 Oz Vs Bill Kazmaier (Halloween Havoc 1991)
Before his fame as the Diesel character as well as under his real name, he tried and tested different gimmicks in WCW. He played the gimmick called Oz in 1991.
That gimmick was scrapped in the same year. But wrestling fans probably can't recall that Kevin Nash wrestled as OZ at the big PPV like Halloween Havoc in 1991. He was squashed within four minutes by Bill Kazmaier.
1 Kevin Nash Vs Hulk Hogan ( Nitro, January 4, 1999)
While the 'Finger of Doom' was one of the infamous incidents in WCW history, Kevin Nash certainly wouldn't want the fans to remember the horrible booking. A returning Hulk Hogan faced Kevin Nash, but the latter willingly surrendered, allowing Hogan to pin following a finger poke.
It was the worst and shortest match in Nash's career. The incident reunited nWo but not for too long.
