10. Nailz Uses A Nightstick To Pick Boss Man Apart
Maybe it's the backstory (Big Boss Man worked as a prison guard where Nailz was incarcerated and would routinely beat the prisoners for fun), or maybe it's that it looks impossible for Boss Man to not be taking a legitimate choking with that nightstick, but whatever it is, it's not the easiest sight to take in. The massive convict caught Boss Man off guard following his squash match with a jobber, handcuffing him to the ring ropes and attacking him with a nightstick. You can hear the thuds of the (hopefully lightweight) prop knocking against his legs, and Ray Traylor sold the hell out of it with some truly guttural screams. It only got worse from there, with Nailz handcuffing the Boss Man's hands behind his back, shoving him onto his stomach, and choking him with the nightstick. The way his tongue hangs out of his mouth ,coupled with the uncomfortable way his body is positioned, makes it look like he's legitimately having his airway cut off. The fact that Kevin Wacholz, who portrayed Nailz, would be accused of choking Vince McMahon until he passed out over a payment dispute adds an extra layer of uneasiness to this scene. Side note, but does anyone else think those slaps to the head of the defenceless Boss Man sound a little rougher than they should? https://youtu.be/cmXsVtwOlFU?t=1m57s
