NAILZ RETURNS TO PRO WRESTLING AS FIRST GUEST ANNOUNCED FOR WRESTLECON IN DETROIT OVER SUMMERSLAM WEEKEND, SHOOT INTERVIEW COMING AND MORE

Kevin Wacholz aka former WWF star Nailz will make his first public appearance in decades over Summerslam weekend in Detroit, Michigan on 8/4 and 8/5 at Huntington Place.  He will be the lead guest for Wrestlecon's Destination Detroit that weekend, taking part in signings and photo opportunities.  For tickets to the event, click here.

Wacholz last wrestled back in 2000 and has long turned down overture to return to the professional wrestling world.  His appearance ithDetroit is part of a larger deal that will see him working with Highspots on additional projects over the next year.  He has very much been the great "get" for many conventions and autograph seekers in recent years but had routinely shut down offers until last week, when he and Highspots put together a deal.

I can also officially announce that one of those projects was a three-hour sit-down shoot interview I conducted with Wacholz last week in Minneapolis for Highspots.TV.  That interview will be released exclusively on that streaming service in the weeks to come and will cover Walchoz's entire career from the AWA to the WWF and beyond.  We will have additional details on the release of that interview in the days to come.  Wacholz had been the final holdout for that sort of interview and discussion, until now.

The two sides have also come together to create a special Bendy-style action figure that will be released ASAP:
