Brute Forcz’s Jammer Recalls Training Alongside Kevin Nash

Jammer, one half of the wrestling-turned-heavy-metal act Brute Forcz, opened up about his path from the ring to the stage in a new appearance on the Wrestling Epicenter podcast, sharing stories from his and his brother Slammer’s days training at the Atlanta gym that would soon become the WCW Power Plant — and about sharing that class with a very tall, very memorable classmate named Kevin Nash.

Jammer explained that he and his brother were working as landscapers when a television commercial for the Georgia School of Professional Wrestling caught their eye. Without the money to cover the tryout fee, they turned to a client who was looking to make a tax-motivated investment; rather than back one of their landscaping or towing business pitches, the client told them they simply looked like professional wrestlers and funded their training instead. That leap of faith led them into a class that included Nash, years before he became a multiple-time world champion and one half of the New World Order.

According to Jammer, Nash worked as a bouncer at an Atlanta club during that period and would let the struggling trainees in to enjoy the venue’s buffet, so long as they dressed the part. He recalled one night when an intoxicated patron refused to leave and mouthed off to Nash, only to be forcefully removed once Nash’s patience ran out — a story Jammer used to illustrate just how imposing Nash was even before his wrestling career took off. Jammer also remembered taking back drops from Nash in training, joking that Nash’s height made the bumps unpredictable, since it was never clear how long you’d be airborne before landing.

Beyond the Power Plant stories, Jammer touched on Brute Forcz’s run in the Global Wrestling Federation in the early 1990s, their stint in Memphis working with Jerry Jarrett, and their eventual transition into a full-fledged band in 2010, drawing comparisons to Motörhead, Judas Priest and AC/DC. He also addressed a recent song the band wrote referencing the Holocaust, saying it stemmed from watching a World War II documentary and wanting to raise awareness of the atrocity, while pushing back on commenters who’ve suggested it was ever in question historically.

Stories like Jammer’s are a reminder of just how many roads ran through Atlanta’s wrestling scene in the early ’90s, with future headliners like Nash grinding it out alongside performers whose careers took very different, often lower-profile paths. Brute Forcz never became the GWF champions many expected before the promotion’s Dallas-based cost-cutting reshuffled its roster, but their journey through Memphis, Puerto Rico and XPW eventually fed into a second act as musicians — one that keeps tying back to their wrestling roots nearly three decades later.
