10 Ex-WWE Stars Who NEVER Returned
These 10 former WWE stars never came back
5. Nailz
If you want a foolproof way to get fired by WWE, may we suggest viciously attacking Vince McMahon backstage?
We don’t know what Kevin Wacholz (AKA Nailz) thought would happen when he physically confronted McMahon over what he felt was an unfair payoff for his SummerSlam 1992 match with Virgil, but he was 86’d quicker than you could say, ‘Justice for The Big Boss Man’.
Fences naturally weren’t mended when Wacholz showed up in WCW as copyright-pushing The Prisoner, sued McMahon for wrongful termination and then testified against his former boss during the 1994 steroid trials.
His run as Nailz lasted less than a year and his storylines and matches weren’t exactly all-timers, but you’d have to think Wacholz would have been called for, say, the Gimmick Battle Royal at WrestleMania 17 had his WWE career not ended in such acrimony.
Wacholz retired from the business in 2001 and then just about disappeared from public view to live a private life selling trailers in Minnesota, before resurfacing in 2022.
