Vince McMahon is the WWE chairman, and no WWE superstar can imagine going against Vince McMahon. But former WWE superstar Nailz (Kevin Wacholz) is an exception.
Nailz got released from WWE following his attack on Vince McMahon in Mr. McMahon‘s office. The former WWE superstar strangled Vince McMahon after the two had a financial disagreement.
During an episode of the Wrestling Shoot Interviews, former WWE superstar Jim Brunzell recalled and detailed this incident involving Nailz and Vince McMahon.

Jim Brunzell said, “What had happened was they had paid Kevin not the same scale that they had paid the guy he was working with. Kevin found out about it, and he wanted his money.”
“He told Vince about it, and Vince said something like, ‘I’m not going to pay you more. So Kevin just grabbed him by the throat and was choking him. And one of the agents went in there and sort of pulled Kevin off of Vince,” he added.
