Nailz Recalls Testifying During Vince McMahon Steroid Trial

Nailz recently looked back at his testimony during the 1994 steroid trial against Vince McMahon. The WWE alumnus spoke with PWInsider’s Mike Johnson for Highspots TV, and you can see a couple of highlights below:

On testifying during the trial: “I told them to get lost. They called me up and said, ‘We need you to testify against Vince McMahon in the steroid trial,’ and I said, ‘I’m through with that guy, I don’t want to deal with anything.’ They said, ‘We can make you testify.’ A guy from the Department of Justice called and said, ‘You’re dealing with the Federal Government, we can make you do this.’ I said, ‘I’m sure you can, but I’m not doing it.’

“The next day, I went off to go to work at about seven in the morning and my house was surrounded by FBI agents. They handed me a subpoena and said, ‘you’re going to New York to testify.’ They called me up and said, ‘You got our subpoena?’ ‘Yeah, I told you, you can do what you want and you’re going to make me do it, but I’m not coming.’ He said, ‘we’ll give you X amount of dollars to come out and do it.’ I said, ‘I’m not doing it for that much. This is what I want.’ They said, ‘okay, we’ll pay you what you want.’ They basically paid me what I want to come out and do it. The first week I went out there, the trial ran longer, so I was going to testify on Thursday or Friday, they said, ‘it’s not going to happen this week. Stay here and we’ll get you in next week.’ I said, ‘I have to go back. I have a business to run.’ They flew me back home and next week they flew me back in.”

On whether he was surprised by the verdict: “Yeah, I was shocked. I was downstairs in a room and they had boxes full of evidence.”
