actually yea...seeing vince in the ring, sitting on his butt while everyone looked at him confused...years later looking at it knowing ..or wondering...how much pain he is enduring....and NO SELLING IT!!

Nash didnt lose any respect because he couldnt endure the pain of it...he lost respect because his legs are weak and injury prone.

I don't think Vince had any combat training to make him fight tough but he is definitely a physically tough guy just like Foley, I've seen them both take more damage than any of the legit tough guys. When Vince blew his quads and no sold it it was amazing, at the time you knew he was hurt but not the extent and he just sat there looking more pissed off than hurt, when Zach Gowan opened him up badly he took it like Kratos.

I remember being really disillusioned with the game after this event. I loved Nailz, he was a great character, he had so much potential to take the game up a couple of notches - and that was all squandered by such a stupid technicality as a workplace dispute. Too many of the better characters were being squandered / homogenized. I realise in Nailz'z case he did play an active part in his own dismissal but I'd still come down on his side considering Vince had ultimate oversight and should have assuaged the dispute before it went that far.

[@gregcrane4953]

I remember a particular weekend Superstars of Wrestling episode where Nailz wrestled, destroyed his opponent and then just stood in the ring, glaring maniacally. Then the Undertaker's ominous bell sounded and the crowd erupted. I was thrilled! But, I don't remember anything after that. Maybe they ran outta time. Does this ring a bell (pun intended)?

[@unmitigateddisaster3793]

The problem was that Nailz couldn't work a lick, his big move was a 'choke' , and he was a lunatic who couldn't be trusted. It was a fine gimmick though. I would have liked to see more of it. But the man himself wasn't going anywhere.
