“We Were So Blessed” – WWE Hall of Famer Reveals Why Hulk Hogan’s WCW Locker Room Emerged as Their Go-To Party Place

Monday Night Wars’ peak phase saw a host of WCW stars jumping back and forth between two giant wrestling juggernauts, WCW and WWE. Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, and Chris Jericho were some of the prominent figures in that listing. Getting the privilege of adapting to the very environment of both massive promotions, Nash recently laid down some pointers explaining the gulf between them.

A different locker room tradition came out as the most significant among all the other disparities.

The locker room is no less than a sacred place for the wrestlers. This is the only place where business may not creep in. Gradually, wrestlers build a locker room culture and rules for themselves. That said, not everybody has to co-exist if they possess a personal locker room like Hogan did during his WCW tenure.

Recalling that golden time, Nash revealed during the latest episode of Kliq This podcast, ”We were so blessed, man, in retrospect, because Hogan always had his own locker room [in WCW]. And he always had a beer. So, we’d just hang out in his room. He was always laid back.”

However, the situation was totally reversed for The Kliq group in Vince McMahon’s promotion.

Nash and his Kliq buddies Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, and Triple H were a notorious bunch in WWE. But unlike Hogan, their de facto leader Shawn Michaels didn’t have a separate locker room. But to ensure the group maintained their distance from the rest of the locker room they had their own bunch of tricks.

Explaining the affairs, Nash noted, ”If anyone would open the door and see three of us [The Kliq], they’d be like, ‘F–k this. I don’t want to dress here’… We’d give it like a minute or two, and then just start putting each other over. They’d pick their bags up.”

This highlighted a key difference in the locker room culture of WWE and WCW and Nash was one of the few stars who enjoyed the best of both the worlds.
