- Today’s video on Scott Hall is not really a tribute as it wasn’t exactly him at his best. It’s his 2002 run in WWE where they decided to bring the Nwo back with Hogan and Kevin Nash. They were doomed joined by Xpac. Unfortunately Hall didn’t do much during this run except fight to Stone Cold and Bradshaw over and over again.

I love that you gave fair and honest criticism though the man is gone. Plus can tell you feel for him during this run. The Bad Guy will never be forgotten.
A LEGEND never dies.
Just because someone is dead doesnt mean you have to kiss up to them
@@TreyMessiah95 I know
@@TreyMessiah95 but there is saying u dont bad mouth to ppl who r gone/dead.
He was always one of my favorite to watch in the ring & especially on the mic. Hey Yo......🤕
May Scott Hall Rest In Peace. “Bad times don’t last, but Bad Guys do”.
That's exactly the line I thought of when he was going through this run in WWE. the bad times didn't last forever. RIP Chico
If bad guys last then how comes he’s dead
@@HishamX We're still talking about him, his legacy lives on.
Exactly!!!!
@@chadbrown4759 if anything to go by his person/character bad guys to live forever people won't stfu about how he cheated Goldberg via cattleprod & DDP helping him in a time of need respect to Razor Ramon he was the antithesis of cool at the time
All he had to say was "Hey Yo" and he gets a pop. So much charisma "Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but Bad Guys do." R.I.P
Hey Yo!
I bet they were paid very good to take all these losses and jobs
Hall was the “bumper” of the 3-man NWO. Hogan and Nash couldn’t do any of those bumps, even if they wanted to. He was so underrated. One of the guys who never won the heavyweight title, but deserved to.
Scott Hall in the ring was so giving it’s ridiculous like having spike Dudley roll him up for a 2 and things like that he was one of the very few people who knew if he did a job or two it wouldn’t affect how over he was
@ConspiracyTheoristMack I’d throw Jake in there too
@ConspiracyTheoristMack Jake the snake Roberts
@ConspiracyTheoristMack Jake Roberts
I agree he should've been world champion but he sabotaged himself with his addictions. Regardless, he's literally the coolest guy to ever step foot in the ring.
What Scott did for Sean X-PAC Waltman tells you exactly the kind of friend and person Scott was.
Hall is a legend and won’t be forgotten.
A LEGEND never dies
What did he do for him?
@@SylentEcho Gave him his big break when he agreed to lose to him on an episode of Monday Night Raw when Waltman was a job guy and just starting out with the WWF...
He also was one of the few WWF guys to lose semi-regularly on WCW.
@@lynchie137 Scott Hall helped out a lot of outcast wrestlers in wwf, wcw, and ecw.
Im glad DDP helped extend his life as long as it was. RIP.
Don't feel bad for Scott. He isn't in pain anymore. His demons are gone, and he has joined his brothers in the ring in the sky. Curt Hennig, Roddy Piper, Rick Rude, his mentor Dusty Rhodes, and Owen Hart is playing ribs on them all. They are all together on the other side now.
Don't shed a tear for them. Cry for all of us who carry on with the way the world is in such a state of disarray and unrest.
The bad guy wouldn't want us to cry over him, he'd say pick your head up, take life square on the chin. When you say my name, save the goodbyes, it's "HEY YO!", until you walk the razors edge once again.
And we all will wall that edge eventually.
Stay strong bruddas. Strength to you all.
He was clean tho he just had 3 heart attacks after hip replacement surgery nothing to feel bad about he changed his life and was a better man when he left then when he came in
Well said
And Mocho Man Randy Savage
@@jamie.777 since you said that then why did you comment on this video which is about wrestling?
He got clean.. He won🤘😔
Love to see Sean Waltman's run in WCW. Could end up with a good grade. An underrated run.
Yah his stuff with flair was pretty good
Crazy how rare the Razor's Edge was
Hard Work Pays Off,
Dreams Come True,
Bad Times Don't Last
But Bad Guys Do
- Scott Hall
Rest In Peace
Razor Ramon got me into wrestling when I saw him on that old Wrestlemania arcade game. Dude just looked so cool and I had to learn more about him. I'm glad you're covering this man, Scott really was like that one Uncle/Dad you were always pulling for to have a good healthy life. Just guts me anytime I see him on DDPs videos with Jake doing his best to get better while being vulnerable. He was The Bad Guy on TV but he'll always be one of the coolest guys around. I'll miss that iconic voice of his.
"You know who I am....but you don't know why I'm here."
Ah shoot, I can't watch this at work. I'm tearing up again lol
Hey Yo! I loved him in that game, Razor Ramon was literally the only wrestler I played on that WrestleMania arcade game. Loved how his arm turned into a razor and razors would come out of him and his taunt lol. That game was awesome.
@@BreakingBits i still have that game for pc
@@kristjan3376 nice man haha I should get it on PC too, still have my old PS1 disc of that game xD
RIP Scott Hall the one thing that puts a smile on my face is that in the last few years of his life he saw how much the fans loved him
Now about this run I think if Hall and Austin were both in a better physical and mental place they really could’ve had a good feud
The problem wasn't really with Hall or Austin. It was WWE's shit booking and poor direction. Austin walked away shortly after Hall left for these very reasons. The Brock Lesnar situation was just the straw that broke the camels back.
Nah it was all on hall and his demons.
Can we at least admire the ridiculous overselling Hall did for this whole run
The man was really cooperative in putting other people over, and making it look like big moves knock him silly
This whole NWO run in WWE was horrendous, but at the same time it's like a guilty pleasure for me
Didn't see this nWo unfold, but I did watch Hall vs Austin recently. It certainly wasn't the best match for a WrestleMania match, but I didn't really think it was S worthy either I don't know, maybe I'm blinded by how he sells those last 2 stunners, but I still thought it was still an okay match overall
@@HWJASURY I'm with you I think it was decent but not exceptional by any means
I think Austin was already in a really pissy mindset about where he was on the card and what the initial plans were going to be as far as the result of the match
Scott was probably hungover, but he definitely gave it his best for where he was at
Man, WWE booked the nWo so poorly. It still pisses me off when rewatching it. Such a missed opportunity.
Scott Hall was one of my absolute favorite wrestlers of all time. So sad that he's gone.
The reason the nWo wasn't booked properly in WWE is two good reasons: 1) this was milked to death in WCW and no longer a fresh idea and 2) it was promoted as a separate organization in WCW which was organic and interesting and in the WWE, it was just another faction.
Yeah that was really the beginning of the end for me with being a WWE fan. I had already lived through what they did to Dusty Rhodes with those ridiculous polkadots, watch them practically embarrass Ron Simmons and Dustin Rhodes when they first came in even though eventually Ron Simmons got to be a part of a decent tag team, I saw how they treated DDP and Booker T And after I saw what they did to the NWO the message was loud and clear. Vince didn’t care about making compelling television anymore because he didn’t have any more competition. The only reason he brought any of those WCW guys in was to pretty much ruin their careers. Booker T. was the only one that survived Any of that. When you go back and look at the debut of DDP and the debut of the nWo , They were all over like hell and that drove Vince crazy. Fast forward years later look what he did to sting and then Vader tells the whole world he’s got two years to live and the only thing he really asked from the wrestling community was that he got to go into the HOF before he died and that POS Vince McMahon couldn’t even do that. Now the only fans WWE has that one day will claim they are WWE diehards but the following Tuesday they’re on the Internet complaining about how bad the show has gotten but they won’t stop supporting this garbage. Vince McMahon can go to hell.
@@lorenzoalsobrooks739 the real reason is Scott Hall`s real life problems and Kevin Nash injuries
They messed up scott steiner too.
@@mariomm9080 Also Hogan's age being consider a legit maineventer
They missed an opportunity to call the move the "Hallaway Slam", seems like it could have fitted for how they thought of him sadly. Still enjoyed seeing him at the time though. Great video mate, really respectful. RIP Bad Guy.
its original name was the sack of shit lol
Scott Hall in a shoot interview referred to the fall away slam as "Sack of Sh*T" had me laughing every time he said it during the interview 🤣
courtesy of Carlos Colon*
You don't get selling like Scott Hall and The Rock these days. I used to have this stuff on tape back in the day. Surreal seeing Hogan, Hall, Nash, Rock, and SCSA all in the same ring.
The Rock was a comical overseller...not gonna say anything negative about the Bad Guy, who did it a lot less, but the panto-selling took away from match realism. Still better than a lot of the no-selling today, though.
Crazy amount of huge stars
Same I taped every second there was even a mention of Hogan, Hall, Nash, and nWo were mentioned on WWE lol. Lost all the tapes but, still got the nWo DVDs.
@@BreakingBits man WWE was so good back then I miss it
@@EliteEasyE me too man, I miss it too. 🥺
RIP to the man who looked like Elvis and rocked just as hard. I'm glad wrestlers today are having more access to the help needed to deal with problems like what he went through.
i remember hearing WWE personnel spent more $$ towards rehab help for Scott Hall than they did for any other superstar.
1:18 I always crack up at the fact somebody had to write nWo backwards on the back of that chair. Seemingly in white shoe polish. 20 years later, still hilarious
To be fair, all three guys at this point were past their physical prime and just couldn’t deliver like they used to 5/6 years earlier, but Scott did try. Rest In Peace to “Da Bad Guy”.
Having Hall and Nash back should’ve been the biggest thing in wrestling, ever. Booking committee and management just blew it big time.
It was a writing team led by Stephanie McMahon. It was during this time period that Russo was brought back briefly as a consultant. He wanted to restart the invasion with the real WCW stars and Vince sent him home.
Marky, your vids managed to further get me into wrestling and appreciate certain people.
One of those people being Scott Hall, he truly was one of a kind and he will be missed.
RIP Scott Hall, chico, The Bad Guy, Mr. Fallaway Slam.
Thanks for The momories. Another Cool vídeo, Marky
Thank you for this one, wish he had a longer run in 2002, the nWo angle would have been SO much better with him around.
RIP Medium size man..what a loss.
My memories of Scott Hall in this period is that he was the guy who was there to be beaten, because it wasn't going to be Hogan or Nash (and the nWo weren't going to be dominating WWE guys like Austin and Rock). I couldn't decide if it was politicking (Hogan and Nash refusing to do the job), or punishments for his continued demons, or a combination of both.
once I saw Hall strapped to the chair in the freezer I said fuck this. I really didn't watch it after that.
Hall doesn't really care that much he doesn't take himself too seriously like hogan and nash
Scott Hall always acted as the top nWo fall guy even back in WCW. It was just storytelling and Scott didn't have a problem with losing. It has nothing to do with politics or punishment, Scott was there to make money and put on a show for the fans. He wasn't a mark for himself like most top guys.
@@quentinkaasa47 there's a point of doing it too much to where you're not credible. It was to a fault.
@@quentinkaasa47 That's kind of my point in regards to politics. Hogan was notorious for not wanting to lose. Nash could be bad about it himself. Vince wasn't going to have guys like Austin and Rock losing repeatedly to nWo guys. That left the willing Hall as the guy to take the fall.
I may not have watched him at all when he was still wrestling but it's always sad to lose another legend R.I.P Razor Ramon 😢
Hogan in 1996: "These 2 guys are the future of wrestling!!"
6 years later: both guys can barely wrestle anymore
He just wasn’t the same wrestler in this run as oppose to his first wwf run. That’s probably down to age and the lifestyle he may have lived. One of my favourites either way and I agree I can listen to his stories for hours. RIP
He was already having a bad lifestyle with his vices at this time, his shining moment was when he was in WWF as Razor Ramon and when he transferred to WCW as Scott Hall
He couldn't even do the Razor's Edge anymore against guys heavier than Spike and Crash ....
@@supportpatriarchyordietrying Huh?! Check again. The Rock is a big dude yet Hall clearly lifted Rock up in that finisher.
@@eastcoastshine2009 when? He was mainly feuding with Austin.
@@eastcoastshine2009 he faced rock too In a tag team match
Scott hall vs the rock on a random episode of smackdown oh my lord. The star power wwe had in 2002 was wild.
Scott Hall honestly left a huge impression in professional wrestling. Without him and his ideas many Superstars would never be able to be pushed as far as they did.
Ex. Crow/Emo Sting.
If only UA-cam allowed me to give you 2k likes. It is very true what you've just said about Scott Hall. Goodbye, Scott Hall :(
My all time fave, can't believe he's gone 😔
You have low standards
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 you are a clown with NO Standards.
I am extremely saddened by the news. Scott was definitely the best intercontinental champion ever. Thank you for a honest review and another great video.
It’s really sad we lost Scott Hall so soon. He was a legendary wrestler and his ring psychology was one of a kind.
I just wanted to point out that I love you have Beenie Man - Who Am I as the background song for this. I love that song.
Yeah, a video about 2002 with music from a big 1998 single, takes me back to the days of The Box and Hot 97's better years as a radio station.
@@NJ973201 I’m a huge Drum & Bass guy, so Beenie Man and other emcees from the UK always hold importance to me. It’s fun music!
cracking open a cold one for the bad guy! rip Scott, you were my number 1 favorite.
Same here 💔💔😭
I remember watching this as a kid and thinking to myself, Scott moved real slow and was sloppy. He was actually moving around much better in the first half of his TNA run. The one thing I didn't like about the NWO run (aside from booking) was seeing Scott work most of the matches. You have 3 guys. They booked Nash to mostly interfere. Hogan was past his best in terms of mobility and Scott, the worker of the 3, was also on the physical decline. There's no way this was going to work.
Exactly, All 3 men were on the bad side of age and wear & tear by this point not to mention Hall looked the most sluggish and lethargic of the 3 probably due to his personal issues no less.
X-Pac should have been added to the group much sooner. He could do the fast-paced work and take most of the bumps and he was a heat magnet at the time with the live crowds. He was perfect for the nWo at that time but wasn't used right either.
@@quentinkaasa47 X-Pac was still going through the "X-Pac heat" among the crowd. It was on the last leg but it was still there.
Scott sold that stunner perfectly at 6:46. It's a shame he's gone. RIP to the man who looks like Elvis. Keep throwing those toothpicks up in the afterlife.
Fun fact WWE made Hall work more dates then he agreed to in 2002 even when Hall was up front about not wanting to be on the road a lot.
WWE treated him like he was already a has-been; shame on them 😤
R.I.P. Scott Hall 🙏🏿🙌🏾
Because he was back in 2002
No he was not a has-been. He was still better than 90% of the roster. The terrible booking and writing brought him down.
@@joen8529 In 2002 Scott hall was a has been and he was not even in top 10 wrestlers at that time in 2002. He was in bad shape mentally and emotionally. But I will say the dude could still work pretty darn well in 2002. He was a shell of his former self let’s not get it twisted.
@@Whasteen Nonsense. He was ready to go and performing excellently, and they, the company, failed him.
@@joen8529 I agree & it's out there some find it easy to blame Hall because of his personal life
For as hyped as we all were for it, the NWO didn't do much in WWE. The only thing I really remember them doing was hitting Austin's knee with a 'cinder block'. Then before we knew it, Hogan was face, Nash was injured, Hall was gone and the whole thing just stopped.
The whole business with the WCW and nWo in WWF feels like just cleanup after Vince bought WCW irl, writing a conclusion for a story that had already ended so Vince and Hogan could look for their next conquest after burying the nWo to put the Attitude Era WWF stars over.
They started real strong tho beating up the Rock, ramming the ambulance, and spray painting Austin, but I wanted nWo to last longer definitely...but without the main players...it just couldn't last.
2002 Hall gave us the greatest stunner sell of all time!!
Thank you so much for putting this awesome video up much respect. Rest in peace Scott Hall.
RIP Scott Hall....You will be missed and thank you for all you did to entertain us with great moments and matches also thank you giving us the nWo and Crow Sting
To those who don't know, Scott Hall gave Sting the idea for his Crow gimmick back in 96
R.I.P Scott Hall. The master of the Fall Away Slam which I think he called 'The Last Call'.
That was JBL who called it that. Hall called it Sack of Shit
Everyone sells the SCSA stunner like it's a super finisher and Stone Cold just goes dead fish when he takes one 🤣
His 2002 run was really bad but it was cool seeing him again. The Outsiders could have had a decent tag team run if things had gone their way in 2002, added new life to the belts working with the younger guys where they could have actually been themselves funny/cool. Not so scripted.
Say goodbye to the bad guy! Loved him!!! He will be missed. Loved how he sold the stunner.
I'm just so sad. I've been watching the Bad Guy for 25yrs, since I was 5 years old. Hey yo is apart of my every day vernacular. It kinda feels like I've lost an uncle. Scott Hall had just always been there in the background growing up. It's not hyperbole to say if Razor Ramon didn't exist, I wouldn't be a wrestling fan
You're getting good at this tribute thing marky.
RIP Scott hall
Scott always called the Fall Away Slam the Sack o' Shit.
Came to comment that. Glad someone raised it.
You forgot about Jerry The King Lawlers hilarious commentary during the match. He was hilarious as the heel commentator and heel sympathizer
"If Scott Hall says thats Stone Cold Steve Austin, who am I to argue?"
And his arguing with JR over the Dudley Dog/Acid Drop
"Oh stop it JR, you know he was going for a stunner"
You have GOT to comment on that. That is such a missed opportunity to talk about how Jerry The King Lawler sells the match
Scott Hall was one of the best when it comes to selling the stunner! 6:46 was one of his best ones! RIP SCOTT HALL💯🔥💪😢
Thank you for this. I don't know what it is but this shit is hitting me hard for wte reason. Can't believe he's gone. R.i.p Scott
This is pretty sad. I remember thinking Hall vs Austin at Mania was pretty underrated but maybe I'm misremembering and need to watch it again. Even though it is a money match it does seem a bit unfair cause maybe Austin can't take the Razor's Edge because of his neck. Hall said in interviews that he was really trying to kick his demons before Mania but once he heard how things were gonna be booked he just gave up and kept drinking. Guess I'll rewatch the TNA Ring of the Hawk. At least DDP helped his last decade of life be a much smoother one. R.I.P. Elvis
Dude even as a kid I remember thinking Austin fighting Scott Hall was weird (no disrespect to Scott hall of course) but I remember thinking “why isn’t he fighting hogan or Nash”
This was a nice video still was cool to see Scott before he left wwe even though they ruined his run , also cool to know we are getting a Brock Lesnar video and that he's the new ring of the hawk champion
To be fair to Scott Hall after he lost the Razor gimmick he basically became the most expensive jobber. He didn't care if he was long as he got paid. I know his behind the scenes action didn't help but they also needed someone that was beatable out of the 3. I will say as a fan I wish he got some more wins though
He didn't care about his wins and losses as long as he made his big money
Sadly at this point Hall was a shell of his former self. He tried to stay clean early on but once he was off the wagon it was only a matter of time before he was gone.
It wasn't the best time in his life but at least he was able to turn things around later on.
Nice to see Barrow-in-Furness get a mention. RIP Scott Hall.
yes for X-Pac in WCW! The Hawk himself said he couldn't 'cut the mustard' and surely there's no one better to put that to the test
Austin was a lot of the problem in the background as well. He didn’t want to work with Hall and was being shitty about all of it. So Hall did what he does, just sell for the ego guy. Hall was also struggling with alcohol and says in a interview that if he’s not having a good time in the ring he doesn’t want to be there. You could tell he hated all of it.
Spike Dudley, the wrestling world owes him one heck of a thank you. That little fellow takes a beating like a champ and can make any opponent look like a absolute killer.
Having marvelous me playing in the background was an amazing idea marky
Something I always thought was cool is I heard Scott Hall call that Fall Away slam the "sack o' shit" in a shoot interview lol Tony Schiavone even called it an "SOS" slam lol
Hall was my favorite wrestler. I remember me and a buddy used to walk around in our late teens and I would always be like "Hey Yo survey time" and he referred to himself as Big Sexy. Good times man.
X Pac was Syxx in NWO, He had 21 matches
Would love to see a ring of the hawk video on his wcw run
Any reason why he had kane mask???
@@steezy7460 he injured Kane in storyline but Kane was legit hurt so X-PAC stole the mask to have heat. Kane would eventually return I believe after SunmerSlam and eventually tag with Hurricane.
“Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don’t last, but BAD GUYS do.” - Scott Hall.
In wrestling hard work does not pay off, see zack ryder wwe career.
Backstage politics and selling merch is what pays off in wrestling
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 Woosh
I remember the feeling of seeing NWO in WWE. Man things like this don't happen anymore and I wish the younger fans knew what it felt like when the business was truly on fire. Everyone watched. Wcw in WWE was prob the last big edge of the seat moment they will ever have. I haven't watch in years. To me nothing will ever be like it was then. Stars everywhere and huge storylines.
Dude spot on, that feeling I got when I saw them...it still gives me goosebumps when I rewatch that moment...there will never be another moment quite like that. The fans watching were also sooo into it, you could feel that energy.
That six-man Tag Team match was actually pretty good, in my opinion.
Your videos are cool and all. But, The fall away slam is one of his signature moves. Stone cold and the rock hit the spine Buster every match. The fall away slam is definitely a more impressive move because you're physically throwing the man over your head.
Haha forgot about that Crash match. I had that on tape. Hall finally got all his shit in like the abdominal stretch and actually set up his Razor's Edge properly with a super backdrop like he always did.
Lol the crowd couldn't miss X-pac in 2002 he never went a way. I actually loved his X-factor stable in 2001 wit Justin Credible and post Hip-Hop Albert.
Albert needs his own Hawk vid. Had that stuff on tape, too. Their fist theme by Kid Rock's cousin Uncle Kracker was fantastic.
By the time 2002 X-pac came around, they were already calling go-away/Bossman heat, X-pac heat at that point
Mr. Perfect heat too.
@@attitudetv92 That might be before my time 😅 How could one ever be tired of Mr. Perfect? Ahahaha
@@EliteEasyE I mean Scott Hall, Big Bossman & Mr. Perfect wrestled their last match in WWE under the WWE logo. Only last one match.
@@attitudetv92 oh yea. I think Bossman and Perfect could have done more if not for "The Plane Ride from Hell."
@@EliteEasyE Scott Hall too. They did not fire Brock Lesnar or Ric Flair.
Would love to see a video on X-PAC’s WCW run
Can't be Ring of the Hawk though, too many matches
Watch Wrestling Bios
@@paulmeade4862 he literally floated the idea at 8:43
The face Hall makes when he's about to Fall away slam Crash is like "yep, I'm doing it again'
Hey Marky D, I haven't seen your finish, but I'm sure it's cool. I can't wait to kick out of it...😉 #ripscotthall
Marky, I've been thinking this for a while but I feel 2002-2003 is a wildly undertapped section of wrestling history. Hint hint nudge nudge.
We can watch as everyone roids out including Hogan.
For Smackdown and other promotions, absolutely. RAW was meh at best
Wish I was just a quarter as cool as him... Fuck what a legend
R.I.P Bad Guy. I still can’t believe it.
Marky D, I commend your honest grade for Scott Hall. His booking was terrible doubled with the personal problems he had. Rest in Peace, Hall.
Respect to Hall for getting in the meat grinder one more time to give the nWo as much of a send-off as Vince could muster and put over the WWF Attitude superstars like Stone Cold. 👊
We'll miss you, Bad Guy, but we know you're here in spirit. #NWO4Life
The combo of personal problems and awful booking really hurt Scott's 2002 run. By the time he came back, guys like The Rock and Austin were never going to put him over, but by virtue of his status and the storyline, they had to square off. I think this also partially explains his very limited offense; Austin in particular doesn't seem like someone who was going to let Razor get his stuff in. Couple that with the fact that in those early tag/handicap matches, Scott had to carry the action because Nash was never a workhorse and neither was Hogan, it really hurt how he looked in the ring. It's a shame because Scott was one of the best and most entertaining wrestlers, not to mention one of the sharpest minds in the business.
man watching nash here....he really gets away with doing nothing. he cant even take a punch, like we get it you're big it doesnt mean you dont need to react
I honestly never knew Hall was around for the Raw Ruthless Aggression set. Damnit Hall in the RA Era could have really been something. Imagine if after the nWo disbanded and Hall hadn't been on the Plane Ride from Hall, they started playing vignettes for Razor Ramon again? That would have been something
Scott was on borrowed time at this point. He was a 43 year old baby boomer during this run in the WWF. His physical prime had passed him and he still had a big drinking and pill problem. It was shortly after this when Waltman was released because of his drug problem too. Scott was never going to last long enough for there to be a Razor return. It's telling that after his last WWF run, Scott never again had a lengthy stint in any promotion.
RIP
Rest well, Razor. It's been a bash.
Hall was great in 2002. The writing and many lame fans were the problem.
I remember this very well, and I knew Scott had had a rough few years leading to this point but was hoping he'd be in a better place in his own mind by then--it sadly was not the case, as he was at a very low point here. For that matter so was Austin, as he was burned out and had just about had it with the business...I really wish they had not done the segment with Hall kidnapped by Austin and him being taunted with beer..I wonder if that didnt trigger him even more...the WM match with Austin wasnt bad, it was passable, but coulda been so much more had both men been in a better space and more into it. Vince did the right thing letting Hall go sadly. He was in no shape to be a full time wrestler by then. I'm just glad that even tho Hall had a few more years careening toward bottom after this time, that DDP and Jake Roberts helped him as much as they did and helped him get to the HOF as well as live about another full decade he likely would not have had otherwise.
Rest easy, Bad Guy, and thank you for everything, all the memories you gave me and so many of us here. * flicks toothpick in his honor *
Hall's selling of a stunner is probably my favorite sell job of the move. Maybe the truck is better but hall's look so good
Syxx in WCW ROH? He's one of my all time favorites so I'm all for it!
To be honest I didn't think he had less than 25 TV matches, but if he goes under maximum then hell yeah.
1:11 For context: This was the climax of the feud of Vince & Ric Flair being co-owners of the WWE, and Vince was furious that Ric Flair was basically running into the ground, with Mr. McMahon believing that if there’s ANYONE who should kill WWE, it should be himself
*insert your own punchline here*
4:33 Scott Hall also use Chokeslam during WCW era. Always love to see he using it (Also Vampiro)
And he also use Abdominal Stretch in WCW. I remember that he use on Konnan while also drinking alcohol that Virgil gave him.
RIP, Scott Hall! I always thought WWE brought the nWo back to kill it and make them look bad in the scheme of their legacy like DDP and Stings WWE runs.
Was not expecting the bookshelf riddim playing in the background.. good shit
Great vid as always mate. Much love from the beautiful Barrow in Furness.
He was my favourite in wwf as razor Ramon. When he came back in 2002, i had high hopes but it was like he was an afterthought and the company/fans were not that invested in him. It was sad.
Same been watching his shoot interviews for year's...dude can tell a story
Rip Scott
Hey Yo, This is one that is going to be with me for awhile, i loved Razor, Rest easy my friend.
Hall had slowed down a lot with age (and his lifestyle in general probably).
He was not the same wrestler at this point as he had been in his first WWF run. Still charismatic however.
He climbed in the ring one more round to gave the fans one more show to say farewell right, give the nWo at least some conclusion and put over the WWF Attitude Era superstars. Respect. 👊
He was maybe just a tad out of shape too.
@@autobotstarscream765 That's a very good way of putting it. Scott was always very unselfish/ giving. Another one for the bad guy 🤘🏼
If they had actually let him show he could still go, he could have. Look at him in TNA in 2002
Rip scott hall you were always the coolest chico
wwe has had the most consistent booking strategy for 20 years- this guy vs that guy in various matches, dq finishes, and tags for 2 months until 1 is fired
It's hard watching this. Hall still looks in good physical shape, but knowing his other struggles, you can see why WWE couldn't really allow him to go over. These matches against Austin, i just get the feeling they were hoping that he would get sober, because if he did, it could have been a really good series of matches. Unfortunately, that didn't happen until much later. The NWO in WWE was terribly booked and never should have happened.
If you know of alcoholism you can see he's not in great shape here, yes his torso looks better than the average man, but you can see the bloating around his face unshaven dropping eyes even his torso was bloating at times here due to the alcohol.
Not having a go at him I understand what he was going through, just saying that even here you can see the slight hints his issues were affecting his physical shape.
These matches could have been way better but this was the era where Austin refused to lose or look weak. He left shortly after because he was supposed to lose to Lesnar.
Rip Scott Hall but on a side note if they made the fall away slam his finisher he might have been unstoppable
WWE didn't know what to do with NWO
They knew exactly what they wanted to do with the nWo: kill it and put over the WWF Attitude superstars, which was at least more of an ending than WCW was giving them with the Finger Poke of Puke.
I think what killed it was the Wrestlemania crowd reaction for Hogan once that happened everything went south. I think the WWE wanted to cash in on the NWO name but it should’ve ended after Wrestlemania. I would still have Hall, Nash, and X-PAC as a team but just the named the kliq with eventually HBK and HHH joining especially after HHH won the championship over Jericho would’ve made that group relevant.
There was nothing to do with WWE NWO. Hogan old af, Nash injury prone, Hall was rarely sober. Besides nostalgia pops from their star power Vince would have been crazy to seriously push NWO stronger than The Rock or Stone Cold.
