So would any of you guys have wanted Nash to do more in 03? Maybe a World Title run? Stay another year? Another few years?
He soon ended up in TNA about 3-4 years later anyways but I would have loved to see em do a lil more in WWE before leaving...
I would have liked to see em go to SmackDown & get at least one match @ WrestleMania... it sucks how he never wrestled @ WM in 02/03/04 or in 2011 when he returned.

Was actually rooting for him to take the title off HHH in HIAC but that should of been a lot better run than it was.

Even though he no doubt wouldnt have it long, it wouldve been a nice nod to see em with Big Gold one more time.I'd have em beat Trips inside the cell and then lose it at SSlam in the chamber
I did like his retro Diesel like theme he had during this time as well...

I thought he would tear his quad before the summer that year but he never did.

I liked his 2003 run and I have said it a million times he should have taken the title off Triple H, even if it was just from one PPV to the next. They had some great matches together.
I saw them wrestle at Insurrextion 2003 during this feud and it was such a fun match to see live. It was also the very last WWE UK PPV.

I get why Nash didn't beat Triple H for the World Title in looking back at that. Triple H beat every WCW wrestler who was World Champion in 2003. Scott Steiner, Booker T, Kevin Nash, hell, if DDP was still wrestling for WWE at the time I am sure Triple H would have found a way to wrestle and beat him too.
With all that being said, Kevin Nash being in a WWE Main event in 2003 was something I never thought would have happen again, so I was just happy to see Nash in that spotlight one last night in the WWE.

Yeah it was cool to see em headline a few more PPVs & RAWs at the time, he was always one of my fav guys. |

Nash was always one of my favorites as a kid during the Monday Night War, so seeing him get one last run in the main event in 2003 was great to me.
I always thought it was funny how fans generally crapped on his feud with HHH. Nash was never a technician, but knew how to work a crowd and was credited by Bret Hart as one of the best big men ever. Their Judgement Day match left a lot to be desired with the DQ finish, but the Insurrection and Bad Blood matches more than made up for it. Their HIAC encounter is one of my favorites, and again, never understood the bad-rap it gets. HIAC is suppose to be a brutal encounter within the confines of the cell, and that’s exactly what it was. We got a bloody fight with memorable moments like with the screwdriver, barbed wire bat, and Nash getting up after a shot from the sledgehammer.
The only criticism I have with the feud is that it didn’t need the world title. This was a blood feud between Nash and HHH, and an extension of the HHH/HBK feud. It didn’t need the world title. This is why Booker T winning at WM19 made so much sense to me. Let Booker go on a run for a bit while HHH feuds with Nash, and in the Summer could take the world title back before going into a feud with Goldberg. Nothing is lost here and keeps the world title interesting rather than become an afterthought in the HHH/Nash feud.
