“I have people that are involved in her [Gisele Shaw’s] life,” Kevin Nash added. “I have several friends that care deeply about that human being. I am in no way f*****g [defending Rick]. I just think … there’s a scene in ‘Against All Odds,’ and f*****g James Woods and Jeff Bridges, they’ve been fighting over Rachel Ward this whole f*****g movie. And she just looks at Jeff Bridges at one point goes ‘Can it just for one f*****g time not be life and death?’

“Both these guys are pulling at her,” he continued, “and it’s just … I feel that way sometimes. Can a human being make a mistake? I’ve known f*****g Robbie [Rick’s real name] Steiner for 30 years. He is a decent man. He doesn’t … I don’t think he’s ever … he’s just not … I don’t know what f*****g set that off. I don’t know why it happened. It was wrong. But you could name 50 other people … when I heard that, I said ‘Robbie? What?’ It was such a horrible f*****g venue. That didn’t help, man.”

Nash, who was at WrestleCon but not on the floor during the incident, does believe that if he had been around at that time, the situation would’ve been resolved promptly — and appropriately.

“If I was in the convention, on the convention floor, I would’ve known f*****g 30 minutes after the s**t went down, tops,” Nash said. “And I would’ve personally f*****g walked over there … and that would’ve made a difference in that whole situation. When it first went down, me walking over there and pulling him aside would’ve been night and day of how all of this played off.”
