I will say this, the only Nash should be focusing on is helping wrestlers with saving their money for life after wrestling (he was definately good at that). He used to have mic skills, but when he went against CM Punk in 2011...........he really got owned so I don't know if he still is able to do that.

Nash clarified his statements and pointed out: On his recent comments about the size of today’s top guys:
I’m talking about them as wrestlers, I’m talking about them as their wrestling persona as far as visual. I’m not talking about anything [else]. I’ve stated before, these guys are incredibly great technical wrestlers. All of them. But there’s a reason why Chrisitan Bale in Batman has armor on and is bigger than life. There’s a reason why in all these Marvel movies if [the guys] don’t have gigantic muscles and aren’t oversized, they’re CGIs. I don’t remember Stan Lee when he started Marvel Comics making a 5-foot-7 guy. You don't have to be a comic nerd to know about Spider-Man. Or the X-Men. Or comics in general, not Stan Lee, but Wolverine, a stumpy Canadian scrapper. Don't make references if you don't actually get them.

Spider-Man is Marvel's number one iconic character, and their official website has him listed at 5'10, 167 lbs. And they designed him to not be "larger than life" ON PURPOSE.

I don't read much comics or anything, so all my knowledge of Spider-Man is limited to the movies and the television show, but an athletic superhero who fights bad guys just screams "larger than life". Maybe not Superman, but still greater than the average person. Unlike what Nash implies, size doesn't have everything to do with it. It's a part of it, yeah, but guys like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels could be described as "larger than life" and they certainly weren't big.

Yeah, except that Wolverine, one of the most popular Marvel characters, is basically what Chris Benoit WAS, in addition to the aforementioned Spider-Man contradiction.

And Eddie Guerrero was an muscled, athletic babyface who fought villains like Brock Lesnar and JBL. I fail to see your point.

So Kevin Nash just did another interview fabricating his comments on Benoit and Guerrero. My advice, don't even give him the time of day.

Though I guess Nash has a lil something with the superhero comparison if he'd have used Wolverine as an example- in the books 5'3, Jackman on-screen 6'4.

Watch No Way Out 2004 and tell me Eddie Guerrero wasn't a superhero that night. I know a lot of people who grew up with Eddie Guerrero and looked at him as a hero, especially to the latino crowd. Kids that were younger during his megaface run - they remember him as being larger-than-life, for sure. That ANYONE would accuse Eddie Guerrero of not having personality absolutely blows my mind. That's one of the few opinions I feel can just be shot down as "wrong" immediately. LATINO HEAT had no charisma? What?!?

My point was that the argument could be made that Spider-Man could be called larger than life. At least, that's the impression I get from his movies and the cartoon. I never said the same couldn't be said for Eddie Guerrero, so I don't understand why you'd bring him up.
