10 WWE Villains With Understandable Motives
9. Nailz - Wanting Retribution For Being Abused By His Prison Guard
If ever there was a storyline you wouldn't have been exposed to if it was thought up in 2019, this was it.
Nailz (Kevin Wacholz) debuted in 1992 and put together a series of promos that accused one Big Boss Man of abusing the former inmate during his sentence - Boss Man was of course the guard.
Looking as though he'd literally just jumped the prison walls, Nailz - dressed in an orange jumpsuit - surprised Boss Man on the May 30th episode of Superstars of Wrestling. He then handcuffed the former prison guard to the top rope and beat him with his own nightstick.
The two would blow off the feud at Survivor Series in a Nightstick match, which Nailz lost.
Incredibly, Boss Man was positioned as the babyface throughout all of this, fending off a man that he physically bullied in jail.
You can't help but feel as though Nailz was entitled to beat his rival to a pulp, if (as he stated) he was in fact innocent and didn't commit his unspecified crimes.
Shame on you, Big Boss Man.
