My all time favorite. If you were to tick the boxes of perfect wrestler all rounder Scott Hall checks them all. Size, build, unique look, great worker with an UNREAL finish, the entrance surf walk, the countless In-Ring taunts with the charisma to back it up. In my opinion if you flash back to 95 Razor should have had the title, trading with Bret, Diesel and Shawn. Also in WCW 98/99, although the TV was TERRIBLE Scott Hall was SO OVER with the fans he could have carried that company with great matches rather than Hogan. Turn on any Nitro from the time and the Hall/HeyYo signs were countless. Just my opinion but this guy is so damn good, so damn cool, and brilliant in the ring.
I agree. I think it was a huge mistake to put the title on Diesel over Razor. Razor had it all. He was the real total package and could have carried the company through the mid 90s as the man. I mean it's insane how incredibly over Razor was. I doubt Razor would have had the issues he had in WCW. Wwe would have kept him in check and he would have taken the responsibility of carrying the company very seriously.
@@andrewkruzienski770 Thank you, i think there's alot of stuff from that run that are underrated. People just like to jump on the hate bandwagons instead of doing the research first
Hall is absolutely correct in that three-hour issue. It lessens the excitement for the viewer and softens the product creatively but they are taking on too much money to walk it back. For talent to get over, there needs to be a way to establish things as special and when you are doing as much TV as WWE is and trying to make it all first-rate, it gets convoluted quickly. In the 80's, they rarely had Hogan work the Saturday afternoon free TV, they mostly relegated him to Saturday Night's Main Event, house shows, and PPV's. They also kept feature matches between top stars to roughly one big one per hour show. It made the bigger shows feel special. In the mid-90's, it was one hour of free RAW with one or two big matches, a two-hour IYH PPV roughly every other month, and five major PPV's per year with a good spread. When the Monday Night Wars got red hot, they started throwing it all away to get as many big matches on their two free television shows and one monthly PPV. It worked because the business was at its biggest ever but once it cooled down, they were fucked. Hall is correct in that wrestling works best when you leave the audience wanting more. If you watch the world champion defend the belt, nearly every week, against an A-level opponent, there really isn't much of a way to build anticipation. Raw and Nitro were at their best when they understood the bait and switch. Teasing a major angle or match on free TV, holding it off until the very end and then going to dark, just as the audience wants it. That was how WCW kept that NWO vs. Sting thing hot for eighteen months. When WWF eventually turned the tide, it was by setting up an Austin vs. McMahon match, only to have it interrupted by Dude Love so they could build to a PPV match.
I remember watching WWF as a kid and they would have tomato cans/jobbers vs the wrestling character they were trying to promote.In some ways it was cool because the bad guy would win and it would help hype him for the future.I see the logic in having no tomato cans/jobbers at all too because it makes the losing opponent more credible if he wins at lease some of the time. I would love to hear Vince speak on how he feels towards it.
I don't think he needed it. I think the titles meant more when there were less of them and they weren't treated as trophies to get a guy over. The fact that people like Piper, Jake the Snake, Dibiase, Ramon, Hennig, and countless others could draw without a major World title run was a testament to how over these characters were. Undertaker could be a main event attraction, just off of how they used him as a character. Fans would pay just to watch a character they liked get revenge on one they hated. No belts, just bragging rights.
He is right.I stopped watching 2017.I use to watch RAW all the time and noticed the days I missed I was happier.3 hours is brutal.Its was like clocking into a job you didn’t like
I love Hall but he did actually start on Nitro the next day as he always claims...That house show was May 19th 1996, he showed up on Nitro May 27th '96; one whole week later. Now what he was doing in his personal life between that time, we and he will never know but I know that wrestlers don't remember absolutely everything 100% clear because all those years of travel tend to blur together at times.
I love Scott, but when everyone else aside from the actual Kliq says that they were selfish politicians who never wanted to lose, I tend to believe the majority
Lol Lies they always did business , hall was the first guy to put Jericho over and Jericho was mid card. Not only that he put him over clean . The office didn’t know and they were pissed . Pac put over everybody as well.
@@FreneticZetetic let's switch it up then everyone loved Smackdown in 2002 -2005 because they got to the wrestling same with NXT. I don't even have to watch Raw this Monday to know a 20 to 30 minute talking segment is planned.
Scott can paint a picture while he's telling a story. I could listen to him all day.
For sure he missed out on the podcast wave
RIP, The fucking legend. You were only one of the best mate.
He was a great wrestler and he gave the best shoot interviews. RIP Razor.
Scott Hall is a gem.
Was^…..Was^ a GEM 😭 RIP Scott Hall 💔

Cj Williams I agree 100%
The Hall and Nash stuff from Fall of 99 when Russo came in was tremendous. Very underrated stuff.

Cj Williams Spot on. Hall looked and carried himself like a wrestler should.

Thank you and RIP, Mr. Hall. 🙏
Hey Yo! Thanks for memories, Scott.
The fact that Scott was never world champ is the biggest robbery in the history of wrestling. He certainly deserved it

crazyjim9380 true... good point
Hall was never a guy who cared about title belts. He just wanted to make that money.
He was the best man. Him vs Michaels any match was pure GOLD
another mark who believes in participation trophies
Scott hall was a master story teller. Such a lost art these days.
Scott was so smooth. Rest in peace, Scott.
He was billed as the next Hulk Hogan when he was the AWA World Champion as "Scott Hall". He was 290lbs and muscular.
lmao I can imagine Vince saying "Damn it, you still work for me"
He is right.I stopped watching 2017.I use to watch RAW all the time and noticed the days I missed I was happier.3 hours is brutal.Its was like clocking into a job you didn’t like
I could sit at a bar drink all night with this guy. And I could just listen to his wrestling stories. Rest easy bad guy👊
RIP BAD GUY 🙏🏿🙏🏿😞
Scott Hall is a great storyteller. RIP
I grew up watching WWF from 1990 to 2007. Scott Hall/Razor Ramon is my all time favorite.
This is a side of Hall everyone liked
NWO/DX/Kliq 4 life.
I love this shit. RIP to the fucking best, Scott Hall
Hes my favorite and one of the best wrestling minds of all time
RIP Scott Hall.
Scott is definitely the ribber of the kliq LOL
Smart guy
one more for the good guys
Scott Hall telling young HHH "Drive, Monkey".....good stuff.
I love Hall but he did actually start on Nitro the next day as he always claims...That house show was May 19th 1996, he showed up on Nitro May 27th '96; one whole week later.

rehearsal perhaps
Never says he was on TV the next night, he said he’s “going to work for WCW” the next day
He met Eric Bishoff the next day for the first time
@@Sadeye92 Gotcha.
Is there another part
Wish the audio was better in alot of spots. Idk what he said
Rip in Bad Guy
Basically they started the first small union in wrestling. Power in numbers, info, and wanting your fellow worker to get as much as you do. 🤔
Great mind for the business, but he's very self deprecating which is really cool. #RIPBadGuy
Love Scott, but we gotta get him out of those suits. Just dress normal, bro. Not gimmicked out suits or nWo clothes.
Scott Hall and Sean Waltman spoiled themselves becoming part of KLIQ.
RIP
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🐐🐐🐐
What did he say @9:20?
Crazy to think at one point Scott Hall was only getting paid $100 a match at one point, I don’t blame him for leaving Vince’s greedy azz one bit 💯
Hey yo... Let's take a little survey. Did you all come here to hear about Shawn Michaels? Or did you come here to hear about the NWO..?
That's what I thought. One more for the good guys.
No Scott Hunter's Not Like Vince He's Better Than Vince
I love Scott, but when everyone else aside from the actual Kliq says that they were selfish politicians who never wanted to lose, I tend to believe the majority
Most people don't say that. Only marks and bitter asshats looking for excuses as to why they failed say that.
Lol Lies they always did business , hall was the first guy to put Jericho over and Jericho was mid card. Not only that he put him over clean . The office didn’t know and they were pissed . Pac put over everybody as well.
3 hours of raw isn't hard just stick to the wrestling every week it's a 20 minute talk segment to begin to show smh
Even the attitude era, as much as I loved it, always opened with a 20 minute talking segment.
@@FreneticZetetic let's switch it up then everyone loved Smackdown in 2002 -2005 because they got to the wrestling same with NXT. I don't even have to watch Raw this Monday to know a 20 to 30 minute talking segment is planned.
This guy and the Kliq ruined wrestling for years.
