To be honest, the idea of a
prisoner gimmick isn’t really that bad, but Nailz’ complete lack of skills made
up for that. For a couple weeks, Saturday morning WWF had vignettes of Nailz
saying that Big Bossman abused him in jail, that he was innocent, and soon he
was getting out and he would exact his revenge. He eventually ran in during one
of Bossman’s matches and brutally beat him. Then, while Bossman was still
recovering, he beat Virgil at Summer Slam ’92. Bossman finally beat him at
Survivor Series ’92. Now this feud doesn’t seem that bad, but Nailz himself
sucked. You would think the WWF could find someone who can do more than punch,
kick, choke, and eye rake. Not only that, but his interviews were just
horrible. After losing to Bossman, he was fired for supposedly assaulting Vince
McMahon after some sort of argument. There are rumors that if he had not been
fired, he would have been involved in a feud with the Undertaker.
