6 Crazy Wrestling Revelations That Were Confirmed Under Oath
3. Nailz In The Coffin
Whilst the sculpted frames of Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper and Ravishing Rick Rude were the hottest topic (and, theoretically the biggest 'get' for those tying to net a conviction against Vince McMahon), it would be a performer who wrestled completely covered up that would inadvertently provide vital assistance for WWE's grizzled defence.
After claiming to witness the aforementioned conversation between Rude and McMahon due to a disputed attendance at the 1988 television taping at which it occurred, Kevin 'Nailz' Wacholz went all in on the Chairman with crystal clear recollections that had the potential to completely sink McMahon. Wacholz testified that, “He [Vince] said I needed to get on the gas. I told him I would not get on steroids to get the job. He told me, ‘Sometimes life isn’t fair. The ball’s in your court. Do what you have to.'”
Cross-examination by McMahon's gnawing legal representation undid the story, and the true nature of Wacholz' distaste for the man himself. After forcing the former 'convict' into a blatant lie when asking if his prison jumpsuit "revealed his musculature" (Wacholz idiotically replied - "Yes"), he then drilled into the personal animosity between the pair.
Answering "Yes" again when asked if he "hated Vince McMahon" and augmenting it further by suggesting he "hated his guts", Wacholz' overtly evocative answers were largely discredited along with the case itself.
