Slaughter, Rob Van Dam, and George 'The Animal' Steele have all hailed from Michigan but, can they top the impact that Kevin Nash had on the sport?

Not to mention, Kevin Nash also known as 'Diesel' and 'Big Sexy' was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015. You want to talk about legacy, look no further than Kevin Nash himself.
