It Came From YouTube: Kevin Nash as Oz: The Great And Powerful
9 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sun, 10 March 2013, 13:42“Oz: The Great And Powerful” had a great opening weekend so that gives me the perfect excuse to post this clip from 1991′s WCW Great American Bash of Kevin Nash as Oz taking on Ron Simmons!

Oh sure, it was a meaningless match but how often did we get to see Continue Reading...
