10 Unusual Ways To Lose Your Job With WWE

1. Assault Vince McMahon

WWE is a work environment unlike any other... and yet, there are some ways in which it's just like every job; there are certain things that are sure to get an employee fired anywhere in the world. Kevin 'Nailz' Wacholz found that out firsthand in 1992 when he physically attacked his boss, Vince McMahon.

Reportedly upset about his payoff from SummerSlam 1992, Wacholz confronted McMahon in his office and began screaming at him. The situation intensified, and soon, Wacholz began choking McMahon. He was restrained by wrestlers and road agents, and of course, quickly fired. Lawsuits were filed on both sides, as Wacholz attested that McMahon sexually assaulted him during the confrontation. Wacholz's story didn't end there, though - attacking McMahon was enough to get him a job with the competition, and in 1993, he came into WCW as The Prisoner to wrestle Sting.

The next year he crossed paths with McMahon again - testifying against him in court during the WWE Chairman's steroid trial. Walcholz's testimony was so ridiculously colorful that some believe it eventually helped lead to McMahon's exoneration. Either way, McMahon came out on top - and Wacholz's termination was unique.
