On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash commented on the comparisons between John Cena’s recent heel turn and Hulk Hogan’s heel turn in 1996 when he joined the nWo. He said,
“I think that this would be really monumental if we didn’t know that Cena was leaving in eight months. John’s great. But John’s too precise on what he does. When he showed up with the no tan [look] at WWE Elimination Chamber, I was just like, okay. Not just no tan, but powder. It was a giveaway to me that something was up. I don’t know. The people are comparing to Hogan’s turn. I’m like, I disagree. There wasn’t stab you heat in the building in Toronto.”
