In a recent episode of Kliq This, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash took some time to discuss a well-known photo of him sitting in Haku’s lap during a WCW overseas tour in 1997. Nash reflected on the story behind the iconic image, providing context and humor about the moment. He shared how the photo became a fan favorite and what it meant to him and Haku at the time. Below are some highlights from his conversation (via Fightful):
Kevin Nash on sitting in the lap of Haku:
That’s the only time I’ve ever sat in his lap in my life. We go in, we’re somewhere in Germany, and the bar is packed because the marks know we’re staying at that hotel. They have an area for us, but there are too many of the boys and there is nowhere else to go. The last thing I’m going to do is stand someplace. I’m not doing that.”
Kevin Nash on his stand being about 15 minutes:
My stand is about 15 minutes. If I have to stand longer than 15 minutes, I don’t want to do it. Haku said, ‘Big man. Take a load off. You can sit here.’ I looked over and said, ‘Fuck it. You’re the only person I can sit on.’ It wasn’t like my ass was digging (into him). He’s a big fucking (dude). If a grizzly bear said, ‘Hey, come sit in my lap,’ you’d be like, ‘Okay.’”
