Kevin Nash or Diesel? | WrestleZone Forums

Without "Diesel" there is no "Big Sexy" character. His whole WCW run was based on him being an outsider - here was Diesel at WCW out of character. That's it. It's really remarkable in its simplicity, but there really isn't much more to "Big Sexy" than that. Diesel was a great character. He was physically intimidating and there was the long period of time where he didn't say a word, while he was HBK's bodyguard. HBK really sold Diesel as being a big fucking deal - he would play the chickenshit heel and when wrestlers finally had enough, here was Diesel. The investment that HBK and WWFE made in Diesel made him a more interesting and deeper character as he turned on HBK and eventually won the title. But what depth did he have in WCW?

EDIT: Also, there's something uneasy about a middle aged man telling teens and young men to call him "Big Sexy". How nobody saw any problem with this is beyond me.
