14. Kevin Nash
Kevin Nash and “Stone Cold” both jumped around a bit during the Attitude Era, and seemed to reach their peak in the late 90s while working for separate companies. They met each other at the start of that decade while both worked for WCW. Their friendship only seemed to grow stronger as their careers started expanding, and they constantly found themselves on other sides of the war. Nash excelled as Diesel while Austin was carving his niche in WCW and ECW, and when it was time for Stone Cold to explode in WWE, Nash had made his way back to WCW as a top name. The two briefly did battle during Austin’s feud with the nWo in early 2002, but the less said about that time the better.
Austin and Nash probably have fonder memories of working together in Hollywood, which they did while filming The Longest Yard. Nash developed a reputation in wrestling over the years as being overtly political and holding down threats to his star power, but he never showed this side of himself with Austin. Another version of Kevin Nash is the guy who wants to eat pot pies and drink Mountain Dew, and it’s easier for fans to imagine this Nash allowing Austin to bring a few beers to the party, too.
