That was awesome! (clap clap clapclapclap): Kevin Nash hits a bullseye against Rey Mysterio
Razor Ramon was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up. For some reason. His oily hair and gaudy gold chains were nothing something I aspired to attain as a child. I never thought, "Yeah, I want to look like the sleaziest used car salesman ever." Diesel, on the other hand, I didn't really care...
