I would love to see Nailz return for one night just to stick it to Vince.

He seems like a nice guy. I'm surprised it took him so long to accept doing a show. I remember reading in the early 2000s, promoters wanted to get him but he just wouldn't accept the bookings. Barry Darsow had a lot of nice things to say about Kevin (Nailz) too.

I was just thinking about Nailz earlier today oddly. Glad to see him again.

It's a shame Nailz didn't stay in the business longer, improving and expanding his skillset. Imagine that character with a smash mouth style similar to to say Bradshaw, or Mike Awesome. Would have been brilliant.

All the stuff that has come out recently makes you wonder about his claims of Vince sexually assaulting him...

Smacking the nightstick into his hand the whole time like he's doing a promo ...
Hearing that high, squeaky Minnesota voice is up there with finding out what the Undertaker's real voice sounds like.

Ric Flair had 100 moves?
Still, it's nice to see Nailz doing well.

Still intimidating, even if he did crack half a smile at Bill Apter. Solid advice at the end, too.
Just wish they had done the voice.
Who's the boss now, Boss Man?!?

I'm shocked that his Kevin Kelly voice was a put on too, apparently. I will admit he has a point about not needing to "wrestle" given the character.

I do kind of wonder sometimes if he only wrestled the way he did for the gimmick, because otherwise, I'll be frank: his matches were astonishingly boring. Choke, choke, choke, punch maybe, choke, choke.
That said, I am sure he could have done more had he not done what he did and get drawn into being brought in places just for notoriety. If his claims did indeed have any merit, I wonder some if John Nord helped him with valid cause.

Dude was pretty worthless after the Boss Man feud. I don't think he would have lasted more than another 6 months after Taker beat him, too. He was no Kane to Undertaker.

Would have been brilliant. Nah, I don't think he has that ability. Maybe he would have found an audience in Japan, but he was just slow and methodical without the charisma to create that connection with the audience. Not even joking when I saw the Yeti in WCW, I thought it was Wacholz under that gimmick.

I am about to listen to an 8 minute clip of Jim Ross speaking about him. He's a guy whose fascinated me for 30 years. Back then it was not being able to find his Hasbro in stores. Years later it was things like finding out he was with WCW later on in their time. Or his wife deleting two photos of him from facebook after people I guess bombed her with messages. Then there's always thinking his paid mail autographs were from someone faking a website (I was wrong) and then finding out he's a really nice guy at his autograph convention.

I'd love to see Nailz back in wrestling as a despicable manager
He still has a really intimidating look about him, age has only made him look more grizzled.
