As known as Kevin Nash. A pro-wrestler who wrestled under the name and gimmick of Diesel from May 1993 until May 1996 in the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE). Originally cast as a heel Shawn Michaels' body guard Diesel eventually broke into full time wrestling himself. Within a year he had held the
Intercontinental Championship Belt and was eventually being pushed as the man who would lead the WWF into the next generation. He won the WWF World Heavyweight
Championship from Bob Backlund in November 1994 and held it for almost a year. His reign was deemed a huge
disappointment (financially as the WWF was in a huge slump at the time) however and when he lost the title to Bret Hart, he began to be phased out of the top spot somewhat. By 1996 he was on his way to WCW where he would help change the face of pro-wrestling forever.
During his WWF stint, Diesel feuded with Razor Ramon, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels &
The Undertaker among others.
Nicknamed Big Daddy Cool.
