kevin nashWWE Hall of Famers Sgt. Slaughter and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat recently spoke with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald about NXT. In the article, Slaughter and Steamboat talk about the developmental process, and how NXT has evolved as a show on the WWE Network.

Slaughter went on to talk about The Rock vs Brock Lesnar, and said it would be an “incredible match” given how much the two talents have matured.

On recruiting Kevin Nash into WWE, Slaughter had the following to say:

“Whether Shawn Michaels called him or not, I did discover Diesel in a box of tapes one time. I showed it to Vince McMahon, and he told me to give him a tryout…I’ve been around a long time. Coming up the ranks I’ve got to see those who were sons of professional wrestlers get in the ring when they were five years old. I would wrestle around with them. Guys like The Rock and Randy Orton. Just to see some of the other Samoan kids now. That’s all they thought about was professional wrestling. They would get in the ring, and we would work out with them. Now to see them blossoming the proper way to get into pro wrestling and sports entertainment business, just makes your heart feel good.”
