Kevin Nash and Gail Kim on AudioWrestling.com

Just days before this Sunday's huge TNA Bound For Glory PPV, Kevin Nash and Gail Kim joined the Monday Night Mayhem program on AudioWrestling.com to kill some rumors and to stir up a few new ones.

Below are some of the highlights from these two huge interviews! The complete two hour show with both interviews is now available to hear for FREE in streaming audio on AudioWrestling.com

Kevin Nash was asked if he has read "The Death Of WCW" book and its comments that Nash's ego was responsible for the 'death of WCW.' Nash went on to blame Time Warner's stock problems as the real reason for WCW ending. Nash said when he was writing WCW he held himself off of TV for many months and questioned how that meant he had an ego.

Nash was asked about some of his favorite Monday night memories, Nash thought the Nitro that Dennis Rodman ditched the NBA Playoffs for was among the best although he went on to discuss various incidents in more detail.

Nash was asked about his hair match vs Jericho in WWE. Nash says he needed to get his hair cut for the filming of The Punisher movie so it made sense to give Jericho the rub.

Nash put over the TNA X-Division huge. Nash thinks the X-Division matches (something WWE doesn't have) will be what helps generate a new audience for TNA faster than anything else.

Nash thinks the new faces of TNA will probably take about two years to be known by casual fans (thats when Nash feels TNA could start playing a hard Monday Night War with WWE).

Nash would not be with TNA right now if they were touring. He decided to continue working with TNA since Orlando is a local trip for him.

Nash says he has been thinking about his Bound For Glory match several hours a day since the match was made. Nash sounded very committed to giving a strong effort this Sunday even though his overall future with TNA sounded like it would be a very part time deal.

Nash put over Jim Ross and said he always considered Ross a friend and that WWE did a poor job with last week's TV.

Nash still talks weekly with Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

That was a portion of the 40+ minute interview with Nash, up next was Gail Kim.

The AudioWrestling.com chat room demanded that the Monday Night Mayhem hosts question Gail as to the nude images that popped up online of her a few months ago. Gail said the images were totally legit. Gail said at first she was against the thought of posing nude. Gail was talked into doing this shoot as it was a first rate production that involved celebrities and high ranking foreign news reporters. Gail feels some people might have had the wrong idea of her photos because they were foreign born and not in the pages of Playboy.

Gail told a story about how Nora Greenwald (then known as Molly Holly in WWE) really helped Gail get her tryout with WWE. The hosts and Gail discussed the potential for a strong TNA Women's division if Jackie Gayda and Nora Greenwald joined Traci Brooks and herself at some point soon.

Gail talked about the Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita saga and personally felt that WWE using it as a storyline was in poor taste. Gail would not have gone ahead in a story that involved her personal life being put on TV in that way.

Gail went to bat for the WWE Taboo Tuesday concept saying that at last year's event they were legitimately prepared for three different matches with three different outfits all ready for action. Gail said when they finally found out which outfits they were going to wear they barely had enough time to get dressed for their intros. Gail went on to talk in more detail about her WWE release and friendships with many of the WWE Divas. This entire 35 minute interview is also included in the show!
