Former WWE Star Nailz says Vince McMahon Squashed A Lot Of Careers
Former WWE Star Nailz says Vince McMahon Owed Me Money, He Squashed A Lot Of People’s Careers
On what he was looking for from Vince McMahon when he went to approach him in the incident that got him fired
“I just wanted to discuss the contract and the different monetary…basically the aspect that he owed me money and I wanted to get paid for the work. I wanted to get paid for the services rendered. He promised me that I’d make a lot of money in WWF and I believe that I fulfilled my part. I played the character well. I put people in the seats and he didn’t fulfill his part and that was what we discussed…”
On how he feels about the situation now looking back in hindsight:
“You have to stand up for yourself. You’re not a man if you let some other person step on you and treat you like a bug and squash you like a cockroach. He owed me money. I believe if people don’t stand up for themselves, there’s nobody gonna do it. You have to do it for yourself. That’s the type of person I am. I stand up for myself and if I don’t believe in something, I’ll let you know. I’ll air my grievances. With him, people were afraid to talk to him. There were many many people that just wouldn’t go in and talk to him. He would run through them. He squashed a lot of people’s careers. He squashed a lot of people’s livelihoods and people just didn’t say what was on their mind. They were afraid to talk to him. He ran into the wrong guy.”

Yeah, because EVERY GUY gets “the push”, right? It’s the booker’s job, no matter their name or promotion, to figure out their audience and push who THEY THINK will get over and draw money. Vince gave everybody an opportunity to get over and make money because VINCE WANTED TO MAKE THE SAME MONEY! Some ideas were awful and NOBODY drew a dime. But everybody, good idea or bad, had the same opportunities to draw money and get over. At come point it stops being the booker’s fault and falls on the shoulders of the talent who either didn’t like the gimmick, want to work with certain talent, or didn’t want to sell or do a job to get over. This is starting to get like the early ’90s again where every two-bit gossip “journalist” (then it was the Current Affair type tabloid shows) digs up the unreliable WWF/E hating talent and gives them a platform to spread their BS. Back then it was Billy Jack, Billy Graham, Bruno, Dave Schultz, Barry O, and others who used the steroid trial and sex scandals to go into business for themselves and try to bury the WWF and everyone involved because they didn’t make it big. Let’s remember who Nailz is and what went down with the “accusations” before we start giving this guy credibility and a platform to settle scores. We’ll use this guy for clicks and he’ll use us to settle scores, both with no accountability or recourse for errors or outright lies. Current, vile situation not withstanding, Vince still has rights and is STILL innocent until proven guilty. This is still America. Least for a little while longer….
@Motorhead
Vince doesn’t know you. He doesn’t need you to defend him. Everyone with a brain (and without Attitude Era blinders on) knows he did what he’s accused of. He’s been doing this kind of thing since the 90’s. At LEAST.

80s. Rita Chatterton.
Vince was just sexting with that chic. There’s no crime here. Does he have his little weird-ass fantasies that are right there out in the open now (the 3 black guys fantasy LOL)? Of course he does. Is he a little perverted? Of course he is. The text messages from the girl herself show she was a willing participant in the whole deal. She wasn’t trafficked lol. You can go read them yourself online – it’s right there in black and white. This is yet another case of a person yelling “He sexually abused me!” or whatever and everyone convicting the person being accused before they even have their day in court (so to speak).
Isn’t this the same guy that during the steroid trial in the early 90’s said under oath that he hated Vince McMahon and would do or say anything to completely destroy him? His words can’t be believed.
@Stonz
What about Ashley Massaro? Didn’t he abuse her & traffic her to his US military buddies & left her so traumatized she killed herself?
@Gau,
She said she was sexually assaulted by a man posing as a doctor at a military base in Kuwait during one of their tours and that the WWE convinced her not to report it to the proper authorities as they thought it could damage their relationship with the military.
She also accused Vince McMahon of preying on the female wrestlers and that because she said no, he allegedly sabotaged her career.
