Information About

Kings Of Wrestling




The Kings of Wrestling was a short-lived stable that came to fruition at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling 's first-ever Pay-Per-View on November 7 , 2004 , which was called "Victory Road". the members were "King of the Mountain" Jeff Jarrett (NWA World Heavyweight Champion), "The Silver Fox" Kevin Nash , and Scott Hall .


HISTORY


For weeks, vignettes were aired heralding the return of " The Outsiders ", Kevin Nash & Scott Hall , to wrestling. They would be involved in the main event of the evening (a ladder match between Jeff Hardy and the NWA Champion, Jeff Jarrett ), but on supposedly opposite sides (Hall with Jarrett, Nash with Hardy). However, when Nash came to the ring with two guitars, instead of helping Hardy, he handed a guitar to Hall, and proceeded to beat Hardy down, until Jarrett ended the match with an explosive guitar shot to the head. After the match, Nash cut a promo on how they were better than the entire TNA locker room, and challenged anyone to oppose them. A.J. Styles and Jeff Hardy accepted, but were beaten down by this new stable.

On Impact the following week, Nash proclaimed the group "The Kings Of Wrestling", but were challenged and defeated by Savage, Styles and Hardy in a six-man tag team match at "Turning Point".
From then on, the group seemingly disbanded quietly, as Nash competed for Jarrett's NWA title at "Against All Odds", and guided the team of Diamond Dallas Page , Syxx-Pac , and B.G. James over Jarrett, Monty Brown and Kip James at "Lockdown" in a steel cage match. Scott Hall was taken off the TNA roster because of recurring alcohol and personal problems.

Several of the King's actions, and events during their short existence were the same as the formation of the nWo in WCW.
  • Wrestler comes to out to aid face, but betrays the face & joins the group (Hogan betrayed Sting & Randy Savage in WCW, siding with Hall & Nash; Nash betrayed Jeff Hardy in TNA, siding with Jarrett & Hall)

  • Randomly interrupting matches

  • Fighting out in the parking area, then driving a cruiserweight wrestler into the side of a trailer head first (Nash did this to Rey Mysterio in WCW; Amazing Red in TNA)

  • Hardy & Styles doing the pointing motion that is generally associated with the nWo when they brought out Savage

  • There's the Acronym of the Kings' name - KOW - being similar to nWo.
