Wrestling fans are concerned about Kevin Nash after he made grim remarks on his podcast in wake of his son’s death.
Nash, the 63-year-old WWE Hall of Famer, lost his son, Tristen, in October at the age of 26. At the time, Nash said that doctors believed the seizures his son suffered could have been a result of quitting alcohol cold turkey.
On a recent episode of his podcast, “Kliq This,” Nash made worrying comments alluding to thoughts of self-harm.
“Today is week 12 that I lost my boy,” he said. “Time flies when you got a gun in your mouth — I mean, time flies when you’re having fun.”
Co-host Sean Oliver was uncomfortable. “Don’t play like that,” he said. “You have guns so you can’t say those things.”

Later in the podcast, Nash revealed that he has dark thoughts about his son’s death every day.
“Every morning when I wake up, the first thing that happens is, I come to the realization that instead of there being three human beings in my home, there’s now two,” Nash said. “And the third person isn’t on vacation or staying with friends, or is out late. He is never coming back. And then I sit up in the bed and I have absolutely nothing I have to do, and it’s like, ‘so, why am I getting out of bed?’”
Nash is a six-time world champion, having won the belt five times in WCW and once in WWE (which was then called WWF). He is also a 12-time tag team champion. Along with Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan, Nash formed the New World Order (nWo) faction in WCW that was a major igniter of the fabled “Monday Night Wars” between WCW and WWE in the late 1990s.
He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as an individual in 2015 and as part of the nWo in 2020.
