5 WWE superstars who got physical with Vince McMahon in real life

#2 Vince McMahon and Nailz had a real life altercation in Vince's office

In the early 90's, Vince McMahon's WWE was going through a period that featured a number of cartoon-like characters on their shows. One of them was Nailz, who portrayed an ex-convict and terrified the WWE Universe each week.

In December 1992, Nailz entered Vince McMahon's office over a financial dispute. This resulted in a confrontation between the two. According to Bret Hart's autobiography, Nailz knocked Vince out of his chair and choked him violently.

WWE Hall of Famer "Mean" Gene Okerlund recalled the incident in 2018:

"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." Mean Gene Okerlund said.

As you'd expect, Nailz was let go by WWE, but the incident resulted in a number of lawsuits. The superstar has not been mentioned by WWE since his firing.
