#3 Nailz attacks Vince McMahon in his office

WWE Superstar Nailz was let go by Vince McMahon in December 1992, following an alleged attack on the latter in his office. The attack stemmed from a financial dispute, and this was it for Nailz in regards to a career in WWE. Back in 2018, WWE announcer Mene Gene Okerlund talked in detail as to what happened that night.

I heard a lot of screaming and shouting. I think it opened up with: “Are you kidding me? (You’ve) given Big Boss Man $25,000 and given me $8,000? Take this check back!” And then it got into a squabble. Nailz was wrong on that. That was the end of the road for him.

I never heard too much. I know Jim Duggan was one of the guys that went in to break it up. Vince is a tough guy though too. However, Nailz is a real, real tough guy. He’s a pro.

Vince McMahon never brought Nailz back again

In his autobiography, Bret Hart described the attack as Nailz 'knocking Vince McMahon over in his chair, choking him violently'. Vince McMahon certainly wasn't happy one bit over what had happened and made sure that Nailz would never come back to WWE again. Nailz spent years on end working on the indies following his WWE exit.
