No-one comes close to this guy. No-one.

Reportedly disgusted by a pay-per-view pay off and seeking answers, Nailz stormed into Vince McMahon's office in 1992 and...rag-dolled the WWF boss (who is hardly a small man) around the place whilst screaming at the top of his lungs. Nailz would never be seen on company TV again.

Let's be honest here - Kevin Wacholz, the man behind the escaped convict character, must've known that he'd be fired ASAP after putting hands on Vince. Nobody was ever going to survive that drama, but the story doesn't quite end there.

Later, Wacholz admitted that he hated McMahon's guts when testifying against him during the steroid trials in court. His statement, and the vitriolic nature of it, indirectly helped Vince and the WWF win the case. In other words, McMahon had the last laugh.
