My Take

Kevin Wacholz, better known as Nailz, is a reminder that wrestling lives and dies on its villains. His menacing WWF run in 1992, all prison jumpsuit and raw aggression, left a mark far larger than its short duration. Before that, as 'Mr. Magnificent' Kevin Kelly in the AWA, he honed the craft of being hated. At 196 cm he had the size to terrify, but it is the conviction in his heel work that I appreciate. Good guys need a monster to overcome, and Wacholz played that role with a ferocity fans clearly never forgot.
