    Magnificent Kevin Kelly started as a young man in AWA . They presented him as kind of new age Ventura or billy Graham in the fact that he was lean and would flex his muscles and kiss his biceps. The problem was that he always needed a valet/manager because he just couldn't talk or connect to the audience. He was a handsome young man. I didnt even recognize him as nails because he changed his appearance so much.

    Kevin Kelly in AWA was a force and had potential to be a star in the business for a long time. I felt that his time off prior to going to the WWF in "92" took a toll on him as he wasn't as sharp when he was in the AWA. In the AWA, he had good mic skills, for a big man, he can move, good grappling skills and pretty mindful in the ring.

    The problem with the Nailz ex-con gimmick, is that it only really worked for his angle with the Big Boss Man. Once that angle was finished, there was very little that the writers could do with the Nailz character. Hence, his pay was unsatisfactory to him. Understandably, Nailz was rather pissed off that other guys on the roster were getting paid substantially more than he was. Kamala was also one of lowest paid guys in the company at the time. Vince McMahon paid wrestlers what "he believed they were worth", and this often conflicted with what the wrestlers thought they should be paid.

    I consider myself an old school wrestling nerd. I never bothered to look up Nailz's past. He actually looked pretty great! Man. What turns did his life take around this time? Because damn.

      Old school wrestling fan, and you didn't know nailz background in wrestling?
      Bet your don't remember heroes of wrestling or lex v tatanka rivalry ( when everyone thought lex was the heel)
      Bob v hitman when Owen made his mother throw in the towel? Shango making warrior throw up weird stuff, repo man, vince accidentally calling IRS his real name, first blindfold match, pipers Pitt, Shawn Marty and the barber shop spot? Doink dink etc v the king's midgets, kiss my foot match, baby face match, Kane as fake diesel etc
      Please don't be dishonest

    I could see him being honest with his pre WWF/E days. But talking about his run with Vince, I could see him keeping his mouth shut. I think what happened was way worse then what we assume it is.
    I also don't blame him for keeping his mouth closed, I guessed that it is for legal reasons.
