KEVIN NASH: You’re welcome.
Inside the Vivint Arena, in a small room, Kevin Nash sits on a stage. And, in front of that stage a gaggle, yeah, that’s right, a gaggle of people are sitting.
KEVIN NASH: No, seriously, you’re welcome.
The stage features a table with a black cloth overtop, which features the Storm logo and a chair on the side of the table opposite the gaggle, yeah that’s right … nevermind … opposite the gaggle of people. Oh, and in the chair is Big Kev.
And, beyond that, on the sides of the room every ten or twenty feet or so are small carts set up with coffee annnnnd baristas! Yep, actual baristas serving the coffee. So, that’s the scene, Kevin Nash is sitting at a table on a stage in front of a bunch of people who are surrounded by baristas serving coffee.
KEVIN NASH: You’re all the lucky winners of what is easily the biggest prize in the short history of WLCW, and what will remain the biggest prize for as long as WLCW has a history … the guests of the section edition of …
Suddenly, a banner on the back wall of the room unfurrels:
KEVIN NASH: Coffee with Kev!
A round of applause breaks out in the gaggle of people.
KEVIN NASH: That was what the you’re welcome stuff was about by the way. Thought I’d get that out of the way. Now, we’ve got our guests, we’ve got our Big Kev, we’ve got coffee and we’ve got our cool banner. So, let’s get to the questions. You there, in the front row.
Big Kev points to one of the guests who didn’t actually have his hand up, simply because no one did, because it wasn’t clear he was going to be calling on anyone.
The format of Coffee with Kev is still very much a work in progress.
“Me?”
KEVIN NASH: Sure, lead us off.
“Well, uh, I guess, first of all … thank you, I …’
KEVIN NASH: We already did the you’re welcome stuff.
“Right, right. I mean, I guess I’ll ask you about the title contender battle royale. I mean, that’s what we’re here for, right?”
KEVIN NASH: That’s what I’m here for. Did you get an invite?
“You know what I mean.”
KEVIN NASH: For real though, it’s an opportunity to say the least, and it’s an opportunity I plan on making the most of. I’m not too big … which isn’t something I say often … to say that I want to win this battle royale as much as the next guy, but more than just because I want to be a, what is it they’re calling it, a title contender? I want that and I’m looking to make sure that everyone realizes that Big Kev still calls the shots around here. That hasn’t changed. The letters on the marquee may have changed, but they don’t spell wrestling, they spell N A S H. And, that spells C A S H. Winning this battle royale would be a nice deposit and, yeah, would apparently make me a title contender too. And, I’m not above admitting I want that.
Satisfied with his answer, Kev points to someone on the other side of the room.
“Me!?”
KEVIN NASH: Let’s hear it.
“Okay, great!”
This particular gentleman hops out of his seat, eager to ask his question.
KEVIN NASH: Easy now.
“Well, I was just wondering who you were most excited to come across in the battle royale. You know, who you were most excited to fight!”
KEVIN NASH: Let’s see.
The big fella runs his hand through his hair and then places his fist under his chin, giving this some thought.
KEVIN NASH: The problem with that question is that there isn’t an answer.
The eager question asker seems a bit surprised, but not to worry, the big fella will explain further.
KEVIN NASH: I’m not excited to come across, as you put it, anyone in the battle royale. I’m not excited about who I’m going to have to fight to become a title contender. You see, it’s the other folks in that match who are excited, or worried, more like it, about coming across Big Kev. I’m the one in this match with a bullseye on my back, or a target, or however that saying goes. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you to learn that big guys in a battle royale draw a lot of attention. So yeah, there really isn’t an answer to your question, but that doesn’t mean I’m not happy to have you as a reverse guest on Coffee with Kev!
Reverse guest meaning, of course, the guests on Coffee with Kev don’t get asked questions, they do the asking of the questions.
KEVIN NASH: Okay, how about you there, third row.
A tall, skinny blonde who looks to be in her early twenties stands up, looking a bit shy to ask her question.
“Um, well, I was just … “
She can’t help but giggle before asking her question.
KEVIN NASH: You were just …
“Wondering what you were doing after the show?”
Before answering, Kev turns his attention to the side of the stage….
KEVIN NASH: Let’s make sure we get her information, okay?
… before turning his attention back to the reverse guest in the third row.
KEVIN NASH: Don’t you worry, we’re getting that taken care of right now.
“That’s uh, that’s great! Thank you!”
KEVIN NASH: You’re most, most, MOST welcome!
The big fella gets up from the table and calls on the next reverse guest.
KEVIN NASH: Fifth row on the end, you’re up.
“Yes, Mr. Nash, I’m with the Salt Lake Tribune…”
Kev cuts the gentleman off by once again turning his attention to the side of the stage.
KEVIN NASH: Is the Salt Lake Tribune a sponsor of this week’s episode of Coffee with Kev? No? Ah, whatever.
“I’m sorry?”
KEVIN NASH: Go on.
“Well, there is a lot of buzz about Salt Lake City hosting the first edition of Storm and I wanted to get your comments about what it means to be a part of a debuting show.”
KEVIN NASH: First of all, I’d be wondering how a member of the local media won an opportunity to be part of the second edition of Coffee with Kev …. except talk about buzz, right? Anyway, it means a lot to be part of a debuting show. Just like it meant a lot to be part of Vengeance. It means you’re part of the bedrock, or however the cliche goes. It means you were there from the start. It’s not too different than this whole title contender stuff. I mean, anytime you have an opportunity like that it’s a big deal, but mix in the fact that you’re getting an opportunity to be a title contender early on like this, it makes it an extra big deal. Same thing with being a part of a debuting show … twice, really. And, Salt Lake City should be amped about hosting Storm. I’ll tell you this much, Salt Lake City has always been good to Big Kev, and I’m happy we’re here for the debut of Storm.
“Great, I think that about …”
KEVIN NASH: Oh and it’s Coffee … with … Kev. Did you get that? Make sure that shows up in your article.
“Yeah, I got it.”
KEVIN NASH: Great.
Before the big fella can call on another reverse guest, a tall, skinny brunette, also looking to be in her early twenties like the earlier reverse guest, jumps up and asks a question.
“Just who do you think you are, missy!?”
Except, the question is for the earlier reverse guest, the blonde, and not Big Kev. And, speaking of the earlier reverse guest, she jumps back up and responds.
“And what’s it to you!?”
“Don’t you worry about what he’s doing after the show … I’ll let you know!”
“Oh, you won’t have to, I’ll be there to find out for myself!”
KEVIN NASH: Hey, what can I say? Coffee with Kev isn’t scripted television. You never know what to expect!
The cameras turn to the back wall with a shot of the Coffee with Kev banner.
