During a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash spoke about former IWGP Heavyweight Champion and WCW talent, Scott Norton.
Nash stated that although Norton achieved significant success in NJPW, it did not carry over to his success in the US as a member of the nWo.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Scott Norton not translating to success in the US: “He was used … he was a top guy in Japan all through that period. I don’t know why it didn’t translate [in the US.] I think, you know, he was a stud.”
On Norton’s work in Japan: “My first tour, it was him and Vader and Tony Halme — there was a couple. Norton was, there was — if you guys want to look at some classic New Japan matches, Norton and Bam Bam [Bigelow] had a series of tag matches with the Steiners that are fu**ing really some [great matches]. That Japanese style was, you know, Norton worked super strong but Bam Bam was so athletic and, of course, the Steiners are just incredible.”
