Kevin Nash didn’t just apologize — he deleted the entire statement.
After heavy backlash over comments he made about Je’Von Evans, the WWE Hall of Famer issued a post attempting to explain himself. But the message didn’t stay up for long. Nash later removed the post entirely.
In his original statement, Nash addressed criticism over racially loaded language and tried to clarify his intent. He wrote:
“How often have you heard the term Uncle Tom? Most likely, it was used in a degrading way. If you’ve actually read the literature, Uncle Tom was whipped to death for helping free two female slaves. I apologize for the use of the term Mr Bogangles. I just see talent being pushed in a direction that I disagree with. He should be the male version of Sol Ruca. More contemporary than urban.”
While Nash did directly apologize for using “Mr Bogangles,” it was his reference to “Uncle Tom” that ignited even stronger reactions. Many fans argued that bringing another historically charged term into the conversation only intensified the situation rather than resolving it.
What started as fallout from his “Mr. Bojangles” and “more urban” comments quickly shifted into debate over the wording of his apology itself. Once the post disappeared, the deletion became part of the story.
At this point, the controversy surrounding Kevin Nash isn’t just about the original remarks — it’s about how he responded, what he chose to say, and why he chose to delete it.
