WWE Star Kevin Nash Arrested for Battery Bloody Fight with Son
TMZ just got the two police reports. As for Kevin's arrest ... the report says he told cops his son came home wasted and belligerent toward him and Kevin's wife, then spit in his face and elbow-checked him. Kevin told cops he pinned Tristen to the ground and that's when Tristen scratched his face.
But Tristen said Kevin was berating him over his relationship with his girlfriend. He says Kevin then choke-slammed him to the ground and, just like Kevin's signature move, Tristen says he hit is head so hard on the ground he blacked out.
Cops arrested Kevin because they felt he was the "primary aggressor."
As for Tristen's arrest two hours later ... Tristen's uncle told cops the young man -- who is 6'5" and 200 lbs -- was drunk and had "slung his mom around the kitchen" and tried attacking him as well.
Wrestling superstar Kevin Nash was arrested early Christmas Eve morning -- after getting into a bloody fight with his teenage son Tristen ... TMZ has learned.
The 55-year-old legend -- who is currently under contract with the WWE -- was taken into custody in Volusia County, Florida after cops received a call about a domestic incident just after midnight.
When cops arrived to the scene ... they noticed blood on Kevin's face and arrested Nash.
Two hours later, cops received another 911 call from a person claiming 18-year-old Tristen attacked his mother. He was also arrested for battery.
Cops tell TMZ alcohol may have been a factor.
Both men were hauled to a nearby jail where they were booked and are currently being held without bond.
FYI -- Nash (6'10" and 277 pounds) is one of of the biggest stars in wrestling ... he's won titles in the WWE, WCW and TNA ... by using his signature move, the jackknife powerbomb.
Nash has also had a decent film career. He appeared in "Magic Mike" and will be in the sequel as well. He's also appeared in "John Wick," "Rock of Ages," "The Longest Yard" ... and as Super Shredder in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze."
Tristen is an aspiring singer in a band.
Just four years ago, Kevin fiercely defended Tristen when Internet trolls blasted the music he posted in YouTube. Kevin wrote, "or those that are just haters because he is my kid, f**k you and I hope you wake up with a brain tumor tomorrow."

NFL Star Steve Smith My Cleat Game Is Sick!!!
Baltimore Ravens superstar Steve Smith Sr. pimped the hell out of his feet this season -- with at least 7 pairs of INCREDIBLE custom cleats ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.
As we previously reported, cleat customization is all the rage in the NFL this season -- with huge stars like DeSean Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Bush and others going to famous sneaker artists for some added flair.
And Smith is no exception -- tapping David Zambrano ... aka DEZ ... for several pairs of personalized kicks ... with some of the coolest designs we've ever seen.
Dez also whipped out a pretty badass pair for Steelers linebacker James Harrison.
As Deion Sanders once put it ... "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good."
IndyCar Owner My Crappy Sponsor Crippled My Racing Team
An IndyCar team owner -- whose driver won the Indy500 in 2011 -- claims he's being hosed by his biggest sponsor ... who bailed on a $2 million deal AFTER he covered his car in their logo.
The man behind the suit is Bryan Herta -- a former racer who owns the Bryan Herta Autosport racing team which competes in the Verizon IndyCar series.
Herta claims he struck a $2 million deal with the people behind Integrity Energy Drink back in April -- and immediately plastered the company logo all over the team's car ... complete with a fluorescent green paint job to match the Integrity colors.
But according to a lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ Sports, Integrity failed to live up to its name ... and only forked over $470k in payments.
Herta claims he went after company honchos for the money -- and got an email from the CEO apologizing for the payment problems ... but NEVER got the remaining $1.53 mil.
In the suit, Herta claims the lack of funding put his squad at a "severe competitive disadvantage" -- forcing the team to scale back important race prep to save money.
Herta is demanding the remaining $1.53 mil -- plus damages.
A lawyer for Integrity tells TMZ Sports ... "Any allegations made against my client should be viewed with high scrutiny. There is more to this situation than just a simple allegation. There exists evidence to counter any claim made by the claimant."

Unclear what changed his mind. We've reached out, but no word back from him yet.

Snoop to Nick Young: Your New Whip ... NEEDS HYDRAULICS!!!
Nick Young said he felt like "Westside Connection" after he got his new '62 Impala. But according to Snoop Dogg ... Nick's missing one VERY important part of a true "Westside" whip -- HYDRAULICS!
Everyone knows Snoop has a thing for classic cars -- he owns a grip including a few Impalas of his own.
We're told Snoop thinks Nick's new ride is "tight" -- but the rapper is telling friends that "real Westside riders" can make their rides jump like Kris Kross.
One source close to the rapper says Snoop put it this way ... "He ain't really Westsidin' because he can't hit no SWITCHES!"
But get this ... we're told Snoop wants to connect Young with a famous L.A.-based lowrider crew that can make Nick's ride bounce like a check from Wesley Snipes.
No word if Young will accept the offer -- but we'll stay on it.

Manti Te'o Stop Harassing Me About My Fake Girlfriend!!!
Manti Te'o says he's sick and tired of other NFL stars harassing him about that whole fake girlfriend scandal ... and says his tormentors need to MOVE ON!!!
The San Diego Chargers linebacker was talking with UTSanDiego.com and admitted he was harassed about the situation "a few times" last season -- but had hoped people would let it go.
But they didn't ... and this week, 49ers tackle Anthony Davis admitted he talked smack to Te'o about the GF hoax when they met on the field.
"Asked Manti Te'o about his imaginary girlfriend last night and he snapped. lol I thought that was hilarious," Davis tweeted.
So how did Te'o react?
"I told him, 'Find a new joke,'" Te'o said.
Of course, while Te'o was at Notre Dame, he was catfished by a man -- pretending to be a girl -- but when Manti realized he was the victim of a hoax, he lied to the media in an effort to cover the whole thing up.
Eventually, the whole story came to light ... the catfisher was ID'd as Ronaiah Tuiasosopo -- who eventually fessed up to hoaxing Te'o.
Te'o's clearly trying to move past it -- but as long as he continues to react to the jokes, the harassment ain't gonna stop any time soon.

Just because he can't play in the NBA doesn't mean Isaiah Austin can't BALL UP stars like Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant ... 'cause the ex-NCAA star says he's using his own character to dominate in the NBA 2K15 video game.
You probably know Austin's story by now ... he was supposed to be a 1st round pick in this year's NBA Draft but was forced to end his career after he was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome.
Still, the people at 2K Sports announced they would include Austin as a playable character in this year's video game to "celebrate his remarkable courage."
So, when we got Austin out in NYC the other day -- we had to ask ... what's it like to play with yourself?

Dennis Rodman no longer wants to be seen with Kim Jong-un -- at least not in a video game -- and he's threatening legal action if a video gamer doesn't make some big changes ... STAT.
The game is called "Glorious Leader!" -- and players can take on America as the N. Korean dictator or as his trusted ally, Rodman. The game was designed by Jeff Miller and his company, Moneyhorse ... and Dennis is not pleased with his role in the game.
TMZ obtained a letter Rodman's attorney sent to Miller ... demanding Dennis be removed from the game because it portrays him in a "negative light."
The letter makes it sound like Dennis has finally taken off the blinders when it comes to Kim Jong-un.
FUN FACT: Miller says he actually pitched the game to Sony execs in October -- before the hack went down. Pretty sure that's gonna be a pass now, dude.
