10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 1992

6. Nailz Attacked Vince McMahon In His Office

Many people are aware of this story, but for those who aren€™t, Vince McMahon was attacked by one of his talents. Kevin Wacholz portrayed Nailz, a former inmate of the Big Boss Man€™s who claimed to be beaten up when he was in prison, only now he was released and out for revenge. He savagely beat the Boss Man on an episode of Superstars, and the feud culminated in a Nightstick on a Pole match at the 1992 Survivor Series. Nailz was about to begin a program with The Undertaker, but he had a financial dispute, and he screamed at Vince in his office for 15 minutes, eventually knocking Vince to the ground and choking him out. This led to a series of lawsuits between Wacholz and the WWF where he was claiming they gave him steroids (and he testified against Vince at Vince€™s trial), and filed a wrongful termination suit, which WWF countersued. All lawsuits ended up being dropped.
