Pro wrestling legend Kevin Nash fires off hot take after skipping Independence Day celebration

Pro wrestling legend Kevin Nash revealed last week he didn’t celebrate the Independence Day holiday because "we’re not the home of the free."

Nash appeared to respond to the backlash he received for a post about Congress passing the "big, beautiful bill." President Donald Trump signed the bill on July 4. The bill includes key provisions that would permanently establish individual and business tax breaks included in Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and incorporate new tax deductions to cut duties on tips and overtime pay.

Trump said the bill would "fuel massive economic growth" and "lift up the hard-working citizens who make this country run."

Nash was among the critics.

"Happy 4 more trillion in debt day," he wrote on X. "Never felt this proud as we continue to destroy the empathy we once held for those less fortunate. So I guess Happy wealthy white 1% day. Enjoy your small regional hospitals while you can. Things just continue to get greater. Happy 4th...."

After bantering with other social media users about his take, Nash wrote he was happy to block some people.

"Was enjoyable to flush the white trash out today to block and remove them at least on this site," he wrote. "I didn't celebrate the 4th this year because I personally feel we're not the home of the free. We lose constitutional rights daily. If you're a bigot please unfollow me. Peace out."

Nash, 65, was a full-time pro wrestler from 1990 to about the mid 2010s and made an indelible mark on the industry as a member of the New World Order faction in World Championship Wrestling. He also was a top star in WWE and Total Nonstop Action (TNA).

He is a two-time inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame.

"List of cities Indiana has beef with: Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles," the post read.

The WNBA announced that Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia would be receiving franchises over the next few years, adding to Toronto and Portland. Cunningham wondered aloud whether fans would want to flock to the arenas in Cleveland and Detroit.

"I don’t know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or (Cleveland)," she said on July 1.

Cunningham clarified her comments while speaking to reporters on Thursday, and defended "blue-collar working people" associated with Cleveland and Detroit.

"First of all, I know the history of the WNBA. I know that both of those cities have had teams before, and they got us where we’re at, so I’m thankful for that," she said. "All I was really getting at was Broadway, the off-court lifestyle and so I think that is really intriguing. I think Miami’s intriguing. That’s all I was getting at."

"I think it would be fun to get some teams outside of the NBA market.... I think people totally misread the situation. I would never speak down upon middle-class, blue-collar working people. That’s where I come from. I’m from Missouri. I get I’m in Indiana, and that’s why I’m kind of hinting at Broadway sounds fun, Miami sounds fun. That’s all I was getting at."

Cunningham also addressed the backlash to her comments. 

"The people that hype you up are going to be the same people pushing you down. And so, for me, I always just kind of stay right here in the middle. I think that was my personal opinion," she said.
