During a recent appearance on his “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash revealed that he heard a story where Vince McMahon attended a Dave Chappelle comedy show in June 2021 and tried to give some tips to Chappelle on how to improve his production.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the Dave Chappelle situation: “Tell you a great story I heard. It was Hunter [Triple H], Vince [McMahon], and I think Ari [Emanuel]. They went to go see [Dave] Chappelle, and so they’re in the crowd, and the person that tells me the story is saying that Vince can’t sit still, Vince is looking around, and after the show, they get to go back and talk to Chapelle. Everybody’s talking, everybody’s talking, and Vince just says, ‘Do you mind if I give you a couple ideas on what might be able to make the production aspect of this a little bit better?’ Vince, as he watched the show, he was basically dissecting what would make it better from the standpoint of production and the visual effect of it. Man, it’s just like, just a different.”
On his past dealings with Vince McMahon: “I remember every time I would come back to the WWE, it would be like, ‘Okay, and then of course you’re gonna go from that handheld and then just go ahead and shift a little bit because we’re gonna pick you up with camera 17, which is somewhere over here.’ I remember when I went into the Hall of Fame in ‘15, the year before, I put Scott [Hall] in, and I had to pick the microphone up. I guess that really bothered Vince, that I had to make such an adjustment. So when it was time for me to speak, Shawn put me in, and then I went to grab it. Vince went, ‘Ah,’ and he went to smack my hand. A power thing went [makes noise], it went up to the perfect height. That’s the difference between WWE and everybody else.”
