John Cena’s back on top… and Kevin Nash has thoughts. In this week’s episode, Big Kev breaks down the shockwaves of WrestleMania and why he thinks the ending was more “Hogan in ’96” than the crowd may have realized. From kayfabe power dynamics to merch-moving politics, it’s all under the microscope as Kevin sets the table for what should come next. But before we get into the squared circle, we take a cinematic detour. Michael Mann’s Heat, Kevin Bacon playing a literal devil’s bounty hunter, and how many rewatches does it take to admit Collateral might not hold up? Kev’s got opinions, Sean’s got DVD nostalgia, and somehow Al Pacino ends up with a jobber’s gimmick. Welcome to Kliq This. The boys also break down what it really means to “look like a star” in today’s wrestling climate—whether you’re a 6’10” killer or a 5’1” flipper. Kev doesn’t mince words when comparing Rey Mysterio’s legacy to modern high-flyers, and yes, someone ends up being called a Shetland pony. Is the WWE pricing out the working-class fan? Is Heyman really the MacGuffin that holds the industry together? And why do modern entrances feel more like Coachella sets than fight-night spectacles? Kev walks through the economics, the nostalgia, and the fire (literally) of what makes a great entrance… and why Diesel’s never gotten the love it deserved. And finally, WrestleMania predictions fly fast and furious—including a huge twist involving Cena, Cody, and Paul Heyman. Kev sees the chessboard clearly, even if it ends with someone becoming a “Heyman bottom.” If that line doesn’t get your attention, nothing will.
