Nash, 63, wrestled under the nickname Diesel in the 1990s and was the WWF champion from November 1994 until November 1995.

Tristen was reportedly Kevin and Tamara Nash’s only son. The death comes after Nash’s longtime friend and wrestling partner, Scott Hall, died in March. Hall had been on life support after a “series of heart attacks and developing a blood clot following a planned hip surgery,” per CBS Sports.
