Wacholz’s last wrestling appearance was at an independent show in Orrock, Minnesota in 2001. He lost that match and since then he was not seen in the wrestling world. Subsequently, his WWE run ended in a bitter way in 1992 after he allegedly assaulted Vince McMahon.

It was reported, Nailz and McMahon were arguing over Wacholz’s SummerSlam payment. When things didn’t go in Nailz’s way he jumped across the room, grabbed McMahon by the throat, and then threw him down. WWE legend Bret Hart has mentioned it in his autobiography.

The Hitman described the Nailz-McMahon incident

In his autobiography, Bret Hart mentioned there was shouting for nearly 15 mins. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise of something crashing as he listened to it “from down the hall”.

Hart narrated, “Nailz had knocked Vince over his chair, choking him violently, until Lanza, Slaughter and a swarm of agents teamed up to pull him off. Nailz walked out and immediately called the police.”

WWE fired Nailz in December of 1992 and since then he wrestled at WCW and some independent shows until 2001. Now, as he is making his returning wrestling fans will surely like to meet and know where he was for 20+ years.
