I do think/hope the first part could be dark (very dark!) humour but that second bit is as real as it gets. I don't think I could handle what Kevin is going through right now.

Just seen Kevin's comments.
I can't fathom his loss, but we love ya Big man.

He's got a lot of friends in the business. I really hope that they're reaching out to him

My friend and I really engage in dark humor like this a lot... to the point where people have expressed some concern. However, we know when we need to take things seriously and, more importantly, neither of us have experienced a loss like this. It could very well be his coping mechanism, but you simply can't just assume that. I hope he is ok because, despite the things I've read, I've really grown to like Nash over the years.

Hopefully Shawn and Sean and Hunter and Dallas have reached out to him, I'm sure they have. He's got a large support network, he's seen what the amazing things the brotherhood of wrestlers can bring about so hoping for good things.

Yeah, he's friends with DDP from way back, and I'm sure having that font of positivity in your life is a good thing in dark times like this.

In past episodes he’s mention he’s not going to leave his wife alone.
So I’m pretty sure it’s dark humor. Might just be his way of dealing with it.

Still, I feel he needs some TLC and not the one him and Hunter tried to have in 2012. Often, people who say "I'm fine" are the most likely not to be.

Seems like The Kliq guys look out for each other, plus there Sean Oliver and the podcast guys who seem to check in on him (publicly on the show and I am sure outside of the show as well). And I am sure there are others we do not know.

I lost a sibling to suicide in late 2021, literally right before Christmas.
I know what Kevin's feeling, to an extent. You can get your head in some reeeeeeally dark places and start questioning the point of existence and the point of hope when we're all destined to go out just the same.
I still remember one night where I was composing in my head what my note would say, and what I thought the reactions would be, and mostly hoping that there really isn't an afterlife, just because I was so, so tired. Thankfully, there was always that voice in my head that would come out and scream at me, and tell me to pull my head out of my ass, and to think about the wife I'd leave behind. Think about the friends I'd leave behind. And that, even though my anxiety punches me frequently with thoughts of "we're doomed, and we're all gonna die"... I'd rather at least go out holding a loved one than in a place of loneliness and darkness.
Obviously, I'm still here. You can't dismiss what Kev's saying entirely, but sometimes it's best to just let it out, so that it doesn't feel like it's a secret that's weighing you down and shames you more.
I hope Kevin finds... something, anything.

Also, not to say things will ever be the same for him, but we just came out of teh first holiday season he had without his son, and it has only been, what, 12 weeks?
That just by itself gotta be a shit time to go through. So maybe now that he's through that things can... not improve, but I do not know what word to use here. I think you all get what I am trying to say though.

I was hopedul Kevin was a lot like me and his main coping mechanism is sarcasm and dark humor. Seems to be the care here and hope that's all this was.

Yikes, about people using this as a way to insult him. That's awful.

Yikes, about people using this as a way to insult him. That's awful. Seriously. In a short period of time, this man has not only had to bury his best friend, but he also had to do what no parent should ever have to endure and bury his child. For people to insult a man when he’s at this emotional state is the absolute lowest of the low.

The people who used this as a mechanism to insult him really need to take a long, hard look in the mirror tbh.

His post was in reference to the police being called for a wellness check at his home, which was reported by TMZ. I won't go into details because it was a long time ago and my friend who worked for the county's police is no longer employed there but it's not the first time police has gone to his home. So it's possible that's why a random call for a wellness check at the address wasn't ignored.

For people to insult a man when he’s at this emotional state is the absolute lowest of the low. Social media has allowed people to say whatever they want and really not have to face consequences, some exceptions aside. People have found they can be mostly anonymous and say things to get reactions on the internet, and mostly, they stay in the shadows, so there is no consequence for them. And they also likely have never really had to deal with adult situations, and probably have a limited social life, so they don't have any perspective on how shitty what they are doing actually is. Also, there have always been people who just find trolling funny. One of my friends growing up loved to say and do stuff just to make people mad. He absolutely lived for it. I'm old, so social media and the usage of the word troll wasn't around, but he absolutely fit that bill. And these days, it seems like being an edgelord is a cool thing for trolls to do (normal people think edgelords are cringy AF as far as I can tell), so they come up with some of the worst shit they can to get that reaction. I hope karma kicks those people on the balls as had as it can, with pointed steel toe boots. They need a reality check.
