Disco Inferno addressed fan concerns on the December 1, 2025 Keepin' It 100 podcast about whether his conservative shift damaged ties with liberal-leaning Kevin Nash, confirming politics rarely surfaced in their WCW/WWE days and never threatened their bond.
Politics Avoidance in Wrestling Heyday
Disco and Nash hung out extensively but skipped politics—too young, road-focused on clubbing/partying over news—unlike today's older-guy MSNBC/CNN vs. Fox debates. Disco avoids all news (middle-centered), Nash watches MSNBC/CNN; real-life chats stick to basketball/wrestling, not social media toxicity.
Age and Life Stage Shifts
Politics interest grows with age—Nash/Disco young then, now more engaged; Disco notes 44-year-old caller (Conan) mirrors shift post-Obama realization via injury downtime. Parents argued politics privately (Dad Republican, Mom Democrat) without toxicity, unlike modern "evil" framing of opponents.
Nash's Obama Critique: Money Over Ideology
Nash disliked Obama presidency for investment threats—financially savvy, pocketbook-focused—not broad liberalism; old-school un-PC (now conservative-coded) defined era. No WWE return blocks from age awareness jokes.
Social Media vs. Real Life Divide
Politics confined to podcasts/social (Disco's discussions here only), real circles avoid via sports/other topics; presidents minimally impact daily life unlike amplified online control. Jimmy Kimmel wife anecdote highlights extremes Disco/Nash sidestep.
