8 Superstars who suffered because of Vince McMahon's dislike

Nobody crosses the bossWhen you are the boss of the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet, you would certainly have people with whom you don't exactly share a bond.When you are as egoistic as Vince McMahon, the chances of that happening are manyfold. Vince has had a beef with numerous wrestlers and non-wrestling staff over the years and it is safe to say that if you are not on Vince's good side, you would soon be on the roadside.Vince has been open to the idea of working with such guys again if it is good for business, though – as was the case with Bret Hart, Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan. But when you are wrestling for Vince's company and you are in the boss' bad books, it is not the ideal situation for a superstar's career.This list takes a look at the top 8 superstars – in no particular order – who suffered because of Vince McMahon's dislike towards them. 

#1 Nailz

Vince McMahon wouldn’t want to encounter Nailz in a dark alley

Well, when a 300-pound man tries to choke you out, it is not unfathomable to despise him. That is exactly what Vince McMahon felt about Kevin ‘Nailz’ Wacholz.

Nailz had debuted in the WWE in the early nineties and had received a solid push, getting into feuds with the Undertaker and the Big Bossman. However, he received just $9000 for his match against Virgil at the 92 Summerslam PPV and Nailz decided to confront Vince McMahon about the same.

Vince decided not to give him any extra money and Nailz just lost it. He shouted vitriolically at Vince for nearly 15 minutes and punched McMahon, sending the owner of the WWE knocking over a chair in his own office. He proceeded to choke McMahon before other wrestlers separated them.

Nailz was understandably fired immediately and McMahon has ensured that he has never received a break in any wrestling promotion since the incident, in addition to a number of lawsuits filed.
