wouldnt it have been great if Nailz was Undertakers opponent at Wrestlemania IX? that woulda made UT 3-0 screw that DQ victory over giant gonzales that was corny but imagine that for nailz how many ppl would have been able to say they lost to Undertaker and Sting the same year on ppv?
He was a loose cannon. He got into a fight with Mr. McMahon, then claimed that Vince raped him. And while in the indies he would throw chairs at audience members.
Wrong. Kane was not Nailz. Kane was Dr. Issac Yankeem and the fake Diesel. The guy who played Nailz wanted to kill Vince and hated him for the whole roids trial thing. He know owns his own trailer company.
I remember this guy. This guy's voice acting was awesome. yeah VOICE ACTING. They didn't have fancy techiniques to spruce up voices' in the WWF as of yet. All that came with Kane. Like The Undertaker, Nailz had a great baritone voice and it fit his character. The Big BossMan/ Nailz feud was classic. Cheesy gimmicks but awesome drama.
@shad0wMata Check out a video called wrestling talk interviews Nailz, and you'll see that you are actually wrong about him voice acting in the WWF, so they (WWF) must of slowed his voice down or something, because his real voice doesn't sound deep at all
@666Horns Yeah, there was this one promo I remember where they didn't modify his voice, and I was like, "What the hell?" I guess the mic wasn't working properly or something then, I dunno.
that was the FIRST beating in a looong line of beatings boss man.
aaaaand that's really all i remember about him. that and the beating of course. it seemed more like a late 90s fued. dude gets outta prison and beats the shit outta the former prison guard how beat his ass in the joint
he has the darkest voice I ever heard! search Nailz vs big boss man nightstick on a pole match, listen to his voice at the end, it's even darker then here!
@originaldeadman1190 he doesnt sound that way; the distort his voice in interviews to sound very deep. just watch him in interviews as mr. magnificent or whoever he used to be with Medusa.
@vio2112 I remember seeing Nailz for the first time. He was scary and huge, but at the same time I thought he was fucking awesome. I told my mom to come and look at the television so she could see how they they let this guy out of prison so he could wrestle and hurt people!!! LOL!
I should mention that Nailz spoke with that tone of voice because while he was in prison (framed obviously) Bossman and his six prison guard buddies damaged Nailz's vocal chords when they forced him to fellate them all.
Bobby Heenan once explained it. Apparently Nailz parked outside a flower shop to buy his mother some flowers, and he got a parking ticket. But the wind blew the ticket off the windshield, and the cops arrested him for it. Makes sense. Perfectly plausible.
His name is Kevin Wacholz. He attacked Vince backstage upset with his Pay after summerslam. As a result, he was blackballed from wrestling... until WCW brought him in as 'The Convict'. WWE threatened to sue so he was released.
He also provided a testimony so biased at the steroid trail way back when, that people claim it helped vince get off with it all.
ever since his release from prison, he got a job in a machine shop in west virginia. the pay isn't great, but he has his freedom. he met a nice young lady, they had a daughter. unfortunately they split up soon after. he'd like to go into counseling, but he doesn't have mental health coverage at his job.
My high school principal sounded just like this guy on the loudspeaker. It used to almost knock me right out of my chair when he'd come on and bark "Attention students!" sound like satan come for my soul.
"that was the 1st beating in a long line of beatings boss man" dude, that's like all i remember of this guy. and the fact he beat the holy hell outta the boss man.
It isn't digitally altered. He can actually alter his own voice to sound like that. He worked several house shows and TV tapings and sounded just like this on the mic. Obviously that isn't his normal voice, but it isn't digitally altered either.
@MystikWizard yeah, exactly. people who do voice acting for cartoon characters don't sound like the cartoon characters. same thing for people who do the insane screams, growls, and shrieks in metal bands. it's a talent.
Ok so the match between Bruiser Mastino and Sting happened, but there's never been a match where he was Kane and he faced Sting. In a kayfabe sense, Kane vs. Sting has never happened.
What a bunch of crap. Sadly Vince is returning to this, it's his vision. And to even think that people were knocking Eric Bischoff when he started turning WCW around. Bischoff at least had a clue what wrestling should be. Certainly not a cartoon show.
His AWA promos as Mr Magnificent Kevin Kelly sound totally different. It is possible that he had a talent for disguising his voice, although I tend to believe they were using some kind of voice modulator. Although, when you listen to the Kevin Kelly promos, you can hear little traces of Nailz when he starts yelling
McMahon denied the claim, but Wacholz proceeded to file a wrongful termination lawsuit. The WWF filed a counterclaim against Wacholz, but later dropped the matter.
Wacholz later went on to testify against McMahon and the WWF when they were being indicted for giving their athletes steroids, saying that McMahon told him to take steroids and that he personally hated McMahon.[1]
Wacholz was fired from the WWF in December 1992, reportedly after he attacked Vince McMahon over a dispute over money. Wacholz apparently started choking Vince McMahon until he was turning blue in the face. The incident led to a series of lawsuits between Wacholz and McMahon. Wacholz fired the first shot, alleging that McMahon had sexually harassed him on a number of occasions;
