World Championship Wrestling (1996–2001)

1996–1999

After two weeks of Scott Hall appearing on WCW programming and taunting announcers, wrestlers, and the company, Nash finally debuted alongside his friend on June 10, 1996. Scott Oliver Hall (born October 20, 1958 In WCW he was a 2-time United States Heavyweight Champion, a 1-time Television The duo were known as The Outsiders, and the storyline pushed them as "invaders" from the WWF (the WWF legal team eventually filed suit against WCW because of this).

Through late 1996, and into 1997, Nash normally teamed with close friend Scott Hall as the Outsiders, and they held the WCW tag-team titles off and on for the better part of a year. Scott Oliver Hall (born October 20, 1958 In WCW he was a 2-time United States Heavyweight Champion, a 1-time Television Kevin Nash also began to show his leadership qualities in the nWo, and became a sort of "second in command" alongside Hulk Hogan. Kevin, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman distinguished themselves from the rest of the nWo, calling themselves the "Wolf Pac" in 1997. Sean Michael Waltman (born July 13 1972) is an American professional wrestler.

After a while, however, the nWo began to fight within its ranks, with Hogan and Nash battling for control. The situation came to a head on April 20, 1998, during a match between Hogan and recent nWo inductee (and rival) Randy Savage for Savage's recently won WCW World Championship. Events 1303 - The University of Rome La Sapienza is instituted by Pope Boniface VIII.

Bret Sergeant Hart (born July 2 1957 is a retired Canadian professional wrestler and Actor.

Paul Randall Wight (born February 8 1972 in Aiken South Carolina) better known by his Ring name, (The Big Show, is an American However, the Wolfpac wasn't down for long as Lex Luger joined with Nash's team. Sting would eventually become a member as well, after being recruited heavily by both sides towards the middle of 1998.

After Sting won Giant's half of the tag team titles at the Great American Bash that June, Nash became Sting's partner. The Great American Bash was an annual summer Professional wrestling Pay-per-view event produced by the National Wrestling Alliance 's Jim Crockett They would defend the championships until July 20, 1998 when they were defeated by Hall and the Giant.

The next month at World War 3, Nash entered the 60-man, three ring battle royal that was a staple of the pay-per-view, with the winner getting a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade the following month. World War 3 was an annual Professional wrestling Pay-per-view event produced by World Championship Wrestling. Nash survived to the end after, literally, clearing his ring out and big booting Lex Luger, who was racking Scott Hall, over the top rope, and earned his shot at the title.

At Starrcade 1998, Nash would capitalize on his opportunity, and won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg.

With Goldberg unable to wrestle, Nash challenged Hogan instead. In the controversial "Fingerpoke of Doom," Hogan simply poked Nash in the chest, who proceeded to fall down and willingly allow Hogan to pin him for the title. The Fingerpoke of Doom is the common Nickname for a pivotal storyline in American Professional wrestling history that happened on January This event would reunite the nWo for another run, but the entire circumstance actually served as the beginning for WCW's declining ratings.

Backstage, Nash wrote some of the later angles for WCW. Nash's booking abilities are widely considered as one of the many reasons the quality of wrestling in WCW suffered while he was lead booker. In his 2006 autobiography, Controversy Creates Ca$h, former WCW President Eric Bischoff criticized Nash's work ethic, dubbing him "Big Lazy" (a reference to Nash's nickname, "Big Sexy").
