So should Nash hang it up?

Nash openly admits he was washed up physically before he even got into the business. His knees were already fucked and he had undergone tons of surgery before he ever laced his boots for the first time. He's done remarkably well with the hand he was dealt, and during his prime years (1994 - 1997) was capable of having above average matches with capable opponents, and great matches with great opponents. Fair play to the guy.

Since he become uninspired and complacent in WCW (mainly due to the work environment and Hogan politics circa '97/'98), he's basically been hugely inconsistent and, let's face it, mostly worthless when it comes to bell-to-bell action. But he has charisma, intelligence, presence, timing, political savvy and can talk (when he can be bothered), so he remains a very 'employable' guy in the business. But it's certainly coming up to the time where he has to step away from the ring and contribute in other areas.

I'm not the most ardent TNA fan, but as far as I can tell he was employed in a rather rewarding fashion for a long period of time without being an active wrestler. Nash doesn't need to be an active wrestler to contribute to the show, and when he does step foot in the ring it can often be to the detriment of the card, so common sense dictates that Nash is much more beneficial to the company as a peripheral inactive character. No?
