So you never say never in the world of professional wrestling. Most people actually do return at some

0:05.7

point to the world of sports entertainment because that just seems to be the nature of the beast.

Time heals or wounds, so if you punch someone and bruise them, don't worry, they're going to get better.

Hopefully. There are, of course, some occasions where certain individuals get the ban hammer, though,

whatever that means, and it does mean this person is never going to be seen in WW again. Or at least there were times where it felt that way when they did sneak back in, but what on earth did these folk do? My name is Simon Miller, and I think we should find out. Number 15 Nails. No, I am not talking about those weird things at the end of your fingers, but I am talking about the strange gimmick from the 90s that was basically terrifying. Nells was meant to be an escaped convict who blamed his issues on the big boss man, so he came to the WWF for revenge. So what the flub is that about and why weren't the cops involved? Even more so, because we're already talking about the police. The big boss man was meant to be a policeman, so why didn't ring up his policeman friends? But nope, he didn't, let's just settle it on weekly TV. Turns out more terrifying things were actually happening behind the scenes, the real life Kevin Wachaltz was not getting on with one Vincent Kennedy McMahon. There are stories anyhow, but Brat Hart actually wrote about it in his book. After Nails was disappointed with the payoff

1:10.9

after a show, he got into it with his boss and apparently choked him. Some even say Kevin

1:16.3

ragdold Vince around before the cavalry arrived to stop him. Surprise, surprise was Schultz was

1:20.7

fired, never to be seen in the company again. It then went overboard as Nails fired a lawsuit

1:25.5

and even suggested he was sexually assaulted and it all led to the steroid trials of the 90s, which Holtz testified against McMahon, so even if there was a glimmer of hope of a return, which there wasn't, it was over, done, door closed, before Teen Enzo Morae.

1:39.2

So Enzo More actually made a video about this because it was eight years in January 2026 from his firing in

1:44.8

January 2018 from the WWE. Now this was in relation to a serious court case when the promotion

1:50.3

decided just to separate themselves as much as possible. It tied into the fact that Enzo had kept

1:54.2

this quiet and there was a lot of smoke, however it is important to note, Enzo has denied all

1:58.9

of this and the case did indeed get dropped. Whether or not waiting out would have changed the future we don't know, but at the 2018 Survivor series, Amore decided to go undercover in the crowd before jumping up and down and shooting his catchphrase. As soon as security saw this, he was removed from the building, I'm not really sure what he was hoping for here. There are also stories of him being so uppity on a European tour when he was hired that

2:19.3

Roman Raines told him off on a bus, so it feels like all of this was actually had it in this direction anyway. Enzo and Cass were super duper over too. You can't argue with that, but whether there'd be a spot for them now, well, who knows. It's number 13, the Velveteen dream. So we do have to be careful here because there's a lot of information, but none of it has ever gone through the proper channels.

2:36.9

It's a situation of information, but none of it

2:35.0

has ever gone through the proper channels. It's a situation I'd really advise you spend more time researching, but it is not good. It is not good at all. But Patrick Clark, aka the Velveteen Dream at one point, was a future superstar if his NXT run was anything to go by. screenshots then serviced on Reddit, where it suggested that Clark had been conversing

2:53.5

in a very inappropriate way with underage boys and girls.

2:56.5

Now, Clark most definitely denied this and there was a police investigation, but as before,

3:01.2

no evidence was found to convict him, but he did get released from the WWE in May 2021.

3:06.5

So all of this is still very much up in the air, but something doesn't feel cool.

3:10.5

Subsequent arrest in 2022 for battery and trespassing likely ended any chance of WW reconsidering,
