12 Wrestlers Who Mysteriously VANISHED

If you remember Nailz, it’s probably for his chilling 1992 WWE run as the ex-convict with a vendetta against Big Boss Man—and for the real-life backstage altercation with Vince McMahon that got him fired. After that? Radio silence.

For decades, Nailz (real name Kevin Wacholz) became one of wrestling’s true enigmas. No interviews. No conventions. No indie appearances. Just a ghost in an orange jumpsuit that wasn't seen for decades.

Then, in August 2023, something unexpected happened: Nailz reappeared. Not in a ring, but at WrestleCon. After more than 30 years off the grid, he showed up, signed autographs, and posed for photos like no time had passed. Fans were stunned—not just that he was there, but that he looked like he’d stepped straight out of a time capsule.

It wasn’t a comeback, exactly. More like a cameo from a forgotten era. But for those who remembered the menace of Nailz, it was surreal to see him back in the light after so long in the shadows.
