In a recent interview, Bret Hart shared his disappointment about being denied a seat at SummerSlam despite being told he would be in the crowd. Hart’s comment, recounted by podcast co-host Sean Oliver, directly referenced Kevin Nash:
I went to SummerSlam… They told me that they wanted me to be in the crowd. And then they told me, once I got there, they didn’t have any seat for me, but I noticed Kevin Nash got a seat.

Nash quickly responded, clarifying the situation and denying any special treatment. He explained that he did not attend the show as a regular spectator because he knew he would not have a seat. Instead, Nash was present at MetLife Stadium for an autograph signing scheduled from early afternoon. He stated:
Well, number one, I didn’t go to the show because I knew I didn’t have a seat… My whole thing was, I [did] a signing inside the arena, inside MetLife. So I did a signing, you know, at like 1:30 till three o’clock or something like that.

Nash added insight into why he generally avoids attending WWE events as a fan or guest, recounting a past negative experience with seating arrangements and viewing quality at a previous event:
I stopped going after they put me in a fucking box, and the monitor in the box didn’t work, and the ring was so fucking small and we were so far away that we had to watch, like, look up and watch the fucking Tron, like, with no fucking announcing… It’s bad enough to fucking have to watch fucking wrestling without fucking being able to fucking fast forward through shit, let alone no fucking announcing and volume.

Clarifying his presence at the event, Nash emphasized he was there solely for the signing and was not an official WWE guest. He commented on the possible reason why his name was referenced by Hart, attributing it to speculation about his association with Triple H:
My presence [at MetLife Stadium] was strictly for a signing. I wasn’t there as a guest of WWE. I guess my name got brought up because it would be, ‘Oh, Triple H’s buddy fucking got a seat.’
This explanation aims to dispel misconceptions and highlight that Nash’s attendance was unrelated to seating privileges.
