Michigan - Kevin Nash

Michigan is a tricky state when it comes to determining who's the best wrestler to represent the Great Lake State. Big time wrestling personalities like Sgt. 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? As the longest-reigning WWF Champion in the '90s and one of the creators of nWo with Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall, it's hard to deny Kevin Nash being the state's most popular wrestler.

At one point in time, Kevin Nash was revered as just Shawn Michaels' bodyguard but he went on to curate a lucrative wrestling career of his own. Which allowed him to become a five-time WCW Heavyweight Champion, a nine-time WCW Tag Team Champion, and a two-time WWF Tag Team Champion as well. 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.
