10 WWE Heels Who Were Actually Babyfaces In Disguise

10. Nailz

To say things didn’t work-out for Nailz in WWE would be a huge understatement. The former AWA wrestler debuted for the company in mid-1992, but was released from his contract following an alleged assault on Vince McMahon that December. Furthermore, he was an incredibly limited worker who didn’t have the skills needed to get his inmate character over, and he struggled through his run.

His first feud might have had something to do with this. Nailz debuted as a burly ex-con out for vengeance against the Big Boss Man, a former prison guard. Nailz claimed that Boss Man had assaulted, abused, and humiliated him during his spell behind bars, and now that he finally had a means of getting his own back, Boss Man was going to pay.

The story was entirely believable, not only because of their respective gimmicks, but because Boss Man had played a borderline psychopath in his early WWE career. It was perfectly conceivable that Nailz’s claims were correct, yet somehow Boss Man was the good guy in all this. Nailz subjected Boss Man to a vicious night stick assault on his debut, but surely this is justifiable after years of prison abuse?
