10 Wrestlers Who Beat The Hell Out Of Each Other Backstage

6. Vince McMahon/Nailz

Vince McMahon is very lucky that Kevin 'Nailz' Wacholz didn't go too far in December 1992. The unhappy wrestler was fuming about recent payoffs, and wanted the WWF boss to know about it. Things escalated to the point that Nailz rag-dolled McMahon about his own office and even choked the man.

Yikes.

This was unbelievable news at the time, and it's still pretty eye-opening to hear about today. Both parties ended up in court - Nailz went on to allege that Vince had sexually assaulted him, and filed a wrongful termination suit. He also claimed McMahon had given him steroids on occasion.

Wacholz' case was thrown out, but he'd go on to testify against Vince during the broader WWF steroid trials. At one point, Nailz even admitted in court that he hated McMahon, which didn't exactly do much for the prosecution's case or its bid to make him seem like a fair witness.
