>>16515274This is actually one of the most complex storylines in WWF history. Nailz was an inmate at the Georgia prison where Big Boss Man served as a prison guard before joining the WWF. Even though by the time of his release, BBM had turned over a new leaf and was now fighting for justice, just a few years prior he was one of the biggest heels in the WWF and had brutally attacked Hulk Hogan in a shocking abuse of police authority. So it came as no surprise that Nailz claimed BBM had been abusive to Nailz and other inmates. Nailz didn't care that Boss Man was now on the side of good; he wanted revenge. And Nailz didn't just want to destroy Big Boss Man; Nailz wanted to expose him and humiliate him. So when Nailz signed with the WWF, it was on the condition that he could wrestle in his prison-issued uniform. This would instantly remind the now lawful good Boss Man of his heinous actions of the past, and give Nailz the psychological edge he needed to defeat him on his home turf: in a WWF wrestling ring. The storyline culminated in a nightstick-on-a-pole match, in which Nailz planned to not only beat Boss Man with the same nightstick that he had used against him years prior, but also he hoped the shocking image of a man in prison attire bludgeoning a policeman to a bloody pulp on live PPV would shock the penal system to its core and force a spotlight to shine on other incidents of prison abuse still ongoing in the crooked state of Georgia. But alas, it was not to be. Boss Man would go on to win the match and thwart Nailz' dastardly plan. Good triumphed over evil... or did it? Was Nailz not justified in seeking justice for the abuse he suffered at the hands of the crooked lawman? Should Boss Man be so easily exonerated of his shady past simply because the fans had forgiven him? And did Nailz' defeat allow the Georgia prison system to sweep under the rug other incidents of inmate abuse? Such philosophical questions were left up to the viewers to decide.
