5 Times Vince McMahon had a real-life feud with WWE Superstars

#2 Nailz

Nailz

Kevin Wacholz, aka Nailz, wrestled for WWE in the early 90s. He was portrayed as an ex-con who had once been an inmate at a correctional facility where the Big Boss Man worked. There were rumors at the time that Nailz was set to feud with The Undertaker, but it all came to a stop after an altercation with Vince McMahon backstage after being upset with his push or lack thereof.

Jim Ross, who described Nailz as “unstable” described the incident on his podcast:

I know the altercation he had with Vince, and then of course he had to come up with an excuse, that McMahon put a hit on him something, well that’s stupid, that’s just ridiculous. It’s just another deal where an issue between two people, Vince & the WWE and Nailz, the communication broke down, they stopped talking, they started ranting, it was just b******t, is the way I remember it. But talents have a funny way of not wanting to accept responsibility for their own success or failure.

This led to Vince McMahon firing Nailz. Both Nailz and Vince McMahon later sued each other, although nothing ever came of either lawsuit.
