Timeline
Kevin Patrick Wacholz (born April 17, 1958) is an American retired professional wrestler.
He is also known for his appearances with the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in the 1980s as "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly.
Wacholz started wrestling in 1982 after winning a Toughman Contest.
He wrestled in various territories in Tennessee, Montreal, Central States, and the Pacific Northwest.
Wacholz debut in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) as Kevin Kelly in 1984, as a Babyface midcarder.
In 1985 he wrestled as Thor for World Class Championship Wrestling in Texas.
That same year he worked with the same gimmick for Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling.
In 1986 he worked for New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
By 1986, he was a top heel and challenged for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
In 1987, he was managed by Sherri Martel and regularly issued arm wrestling challenges.
This led to a feud with Tommy Rich, who answered one of his challenges on an edition of AWA Championship Wrestling on ESPN.
Rich appeared to have the contest won, when Martel interfered on Kelly's behalf.
In retaliation, Rich tore off her dress.
Rich would then dominate a series of matches between the two.
After Martel left the AWA, Kelly took Madusa Miceli as his manager.
He often teamed with Nick Kiniski as "The Perfect Tag Team" to contend for the AWA World Tag Team Championship.
He left the AWA in 1988, before it folded in 1991.
Wacholz, still performing under the name Kevin Kelly, received a tryout match on June 6, 1989, at a WWF Superstars taping in Madison, WI, defeating Tim Horner.
A night later he defeated Jim Powers at a Wrestling Challenge taping, but was not signed to a contract that year.
In June 1990, Kelly returned to Japan for Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling where he had a feud with Dick Murdoch.
After the AWA folded, Wacholz received another tryout match, this time at a WWF Superstars taping on May 6, 1991, defeating Brian Costello.
The following night at a Wrestling Challenge taping he defeated Gary Jackson in a dark match.
He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1992 under the ring name Nailz.
In early 1992, Wacholz returned to the WWF as Nailz, an ex-convict who, in a series of promos, alleged he was abused by former prison guard Big Boss Man during his incarceration.
He also claimed to be innocent of his (unspecified) crimes.
Following Big Boss Man's squash of Dave Roulette on the May 30 episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling, Nailz (dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit) attacked Boss Man, handcuffing him to the top rope before repeatedly hitting and choking him with his own nightstick.
Nailz easily defeated numerous jobbers en route to defeating Boss Man's ally Virgil at SummerSlam.
He attacked Sgt. Slaughter before a match that ended in a no contest in September 1992.
He continued to feud with Boss Man, who had recovered from Nailz's beating.
The feud came to its climax when Big Boss Man defeated Nailz in a nightstick match at Survivor Series.
Before Nailz finished the feud with Boss Man, he began another feud, this time with The Undertaker.
Wacholz was released from his WWF contract in December 1992, after he attacked Vince McMahon in his office over a financial dispute, while John Nord watched the door.
The incident occurred on December 14 during a house show in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Bret Hart recalled in his autobiography that Wacholz "cornered Vince in his office and screamed at him for fifteen minutes".
Hart claims he was just down the hall from the office when he heard a loud crash, which was Wacholz "knocking Vince over in his chair, choking him violently".
The two had a stare down on the October 24 episode of Superstars, a photo of which was used as the cover of the January 1993 issue of WWF Magazine.
He had a few matches losing to WWF Champion Bret Hart.
