A WWE Hall of Famer has shared his thoughts on the arrival of one of WWE’s newest personalities, Danhausen, praising the performer both for his debut and his reputation behind the scenes.
During a recent episode of his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash spoke about Danhausen’s recent debut and suggested the character has already made a stronger impression than some memorable surprise appearances from WWE’s past. Nash even compared the debut to that of the infamous Gobbledy Gooker, noting that Danhausen delivered far more successfully.
“Do we suffice to say that Danhausen more than delivered?” Nash said while discussing the comparison.
Nash also reflected on how unusual characters can succeed when paired with the right presentation. Referencing his own early WCW run as Oz, he suggested the gimmick may have worked if it had benefited from the type of production support seen in WWE today.
Kevin Nash Thinks Danhausen Is A “Good Fu**ing Guy”
Beyond the character itself, Nash emphasised that he is pleased to see Danhausen receiving opportunities because of the person he is outside the ring.
“Plus on top of all that, this is one of the sweetest, most genuine human beings in the business,” Nash said. “He’s just a good fu**ing guy. So that alone… There are so many asoles that get breaks in this business. It seems like there are so many great guys that don’t.”
Nash also referenced comments from AJ Styles, who recently stepped away from in-ring competition to spend more time with his family. The Hall of Famer praised Styles’ decision and placed Danhausen in a similar category of people he considers genuine within the wrestling industry.
“And now we’ve got another guy with that same calibre of human being,” Nash said. “It’s just nice to see him get a break, even though I get some crazy early 1966 Batman vibes when maybe the Joker or the Riddler would come in with their entourage to fight the Caped Crusaders.”
Danhausen debuted in WWE at the Elimination Chamber premium live event and has since appeared on both Raw and SmackDown. Early reactions from live crowds, along with merchandise sales, suggest the character has already connected with WWE audiences.
