Kevin Nash was moved to tears after WWE fans rallied behind him for an amazing gesture weeks after his son’s death.

The Hall of Famer was left devastated in October when his son Tristen died aged 26 after being hospitalised after a seizure which caused a cardiac arrest, and he appealed to fans over the weekend.

Referencing Kliq This: Kevin Nash podcast – which he worked on with his son – Kevin wanted to earn the channel a plaque from YouTube which he could display alongside his boy’s urn.

He initially tweeted: ‘I never ask for anything. But I’m asking anyone that is willing to subscribe to my podcast “Kliq This”.

‘My son passed away 6 weeks ago and he wanted to 100k subscribers so he could get a plaque from YouTube. I want to put it next to his urn. Thank you.’

Less than three hours later, the former world champion revealed the milestone had already been hit and he admitted he had cried over the kind gesture.

‘I can’t thank you enough. I love you all. I know he watched this. You made my year not sting so much. It will be apart of his life,’ he wrote. ‘You’ve brought a beat down man to tears. Again with all my heart THANK YOU!! (sic)’

As it stands, the podcast’s YouTube channel has over 132,000 subscribers, meaning fans have helped smash past the milestone and give Kevin another way to remember his son.

Back in October, a representative for Kevin revealed the tragic news of Tristen’s death in a statement to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp.

‘On behalf of Kevin and Tamara Nash, I have to unfortunately report that their son Tristen Nash has tragically passed away at the age of 26,’ they said.

‘Tristen recently started working on Kevin’s new podcast and the two enjoyed their time together. The Nash family asks if you could please respect their privacy during this time.’
