Scott Hall, regardless of what you think about him personally, deserves so much credit for impacting the wrestling industry in two ways. Helping to make guaranteed contracts the norm in the industry and putting over a young rookie that Antonio Inoki saw nothing in named Hiroshi Tanahashi who went on to become the ace that lifted New Japan Pro Wrestling out of its darkest era.

Love him or hate him - there was someone who never failed to get you involved in the program. A great athlete and performer, and a man who suffered from his own self-inflicted wounds - a man who ended up addressing them. Scott Hall in his prime was certainly something to see. And props to DDP and ANYONE and EVERYONE who helps someone struggling with those issues and helping them find their way out.

My first exposure to Scott Hall was as The Diamond Studd in WCW with Dallas. Thanks for the memories.

I have been a huge Scott Hall fan for decades. Coolest wrestler of all-time. Very unselfish and was always willing to help out others. He used to make the joke he was the highest paid jobber in wrestling history, He will be missed. When Scott Hall won one of those WCW World War 3 battle royals, the crowd was so into it. We all wanted to see Scott get a title shot. And he had one of the most raw powered finishing move ever. I do like Cornette's comments: "Hall and Nash could talk, they looked good, they were fearsome, they were cool, and they didn't give a shit what anyone thought about them." Love the Outsiders. Also, the idea that Cornette would ever classify Sytch as "normal" is hilarious.

I burst into tears at work the other day. I was so heartbroken for Scott. Hearing about how he felt about the after had me so sad. I believe in my heart he’s in a better place and I love him. RIP Chico, hey yo! ♥️🕊🕊🕊

And the toothpick gimmick goes back to the _Diamond Studd,_ with DDP. According to DDP, they both had one before cutting a promo, but DDP dropped his, and Hall flicked his at the camera, and made it a thing. Heenan mentioned telling Hall to flick it in his opponent's face before matches.

Jim really has no idea Vince didn’t come up with the razor Ramon character and even never saw Scarface when Scott pitched it to him

Scott kept me watching wrestling when it was otherwise unwatchable. As long as Razor Ramon was on Raw I would watch it. His defection to WCW along with Nash and the formation of the nWo had me watching Nitro when I otherwise wouldn't care. An all time legend.

“Hey Yo” Scott Hall will forever be a part of maybe the best wrestling angle ever and I couldn’t be happier it’s him. Razor Ramon was one of my favorites. He could talk he could work.

@@dguytheguy4653 Curt and Scott are probably ribbing the shit outta everyone in the afterlife, lmao.

7:00 my thoughts exactly . Scott certainly became who he was hanging around . He never even use to drink until Henning told him he had to in order to do business with the boys ( check out scott’s recent interviews). Scott was so brilliant I don’t think he even realized . Very intelligent man who self destructed himself . Such a heartbreaking ending . RIP Chico 💔

Thanks to DDP, Hall was able to live almost a decade longer than he would've if Hall was going to continue to live the lifestyle that he did all those years, what's crazy is that 3 generations of wrestling fans saw how destructive that lifestyle was since Hall wrestled from the 80's up until the early 2000's full time.

One of the most underrated things about Scott Hall is something Jim pointed out at the end. You weren't going to get seriously injured working with Hall. A guy his size if he wanted to be a prick and get stiff shit could go bad for a lot of people and yet it didn't. That says a lot about him, I think anyway.

Hall helped pave the way for the "cool bad guy"! One of my favorite wrestlers ever. R.I.P. Scott Hall.

There are any number of wrestling personalities/groups, that it can, at the very least, be argued, we would not have gotten, without Scott Hall: 1. Razor Ramon itself was Scott Hall's idea. He got help on the name, but the idea was his from the Scarface movie and imitations he used to do in the car with Mr. Perfect. Vince wanted him to be an army guy, since his father was in the military. 2. The nWo does not happen without Scott Hall. Not only that, but many of the great ideas for the nWo early on, came from Scott Hall 3. The Crow Sting gimmick was Scott Hall's idea, from 'The Crow' movie, which he gave to Sting, at a time when Sting didn't even really like him. 4. 1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac/Syxx, it can be argued, doesn't happen without Hall putting him over on RAW. Any number of high quality workers have fallen by the way side otherwise 5. DX likely does not happen without the nWo, because it was in direct response to the nWo. Michaels and HHH wanting their own group. 6. Kane- It can be argued, I don't know how heavily, but argued.................... that Kane was a direct result of Taker needing opponents when Hall and Nash left and the WWF was running out of guys for him. Taker and Mankind got them a distance, but those two always had to take breaks in their feuds, due to the dark and violent nature of them, or the novelty would have worn off. 7. DDP becoming a star- The idea for DDP to act like he's joining the nWo, only to give Hall the Diamond Cutter, was DDP's idea. However, Bischoff, for the longest time, refused to do it, due to a blend of not believing in DDP and not wanting to show favoritism to DDP. By DDP's own admission, it was Scott Hall speaking up for him in a creative meeting that finally convinced Bischoff to let them do it. 8. Stone Cold Steve Austin- The Stone Cold gimmick was a direct result of Vince getting beat and having his back to the wall for the first time, needing to come up with a counter and create new stars. And we've seen what Vince is capable of producing when he's not being pushed by competition, both back then and today. We don't even have to look past what Austin WAS before the Stone Cold turn around KOR 96'. 9. The Rock- Was ALSO a direct result of Vince getting beat and having his back to the wall for the first time, needing to come up with a counter and create new stars. And we've seen what Vince is capable of producing when he's not being pushed by competition, both back then and today. 10. Hall was really the first true anti-hero babyface of the Monday Night Wars era. 11. Oh, by the way, the Monday Night Wars themselves taking off. Yes, they were already ongoing before Hall jumped, but his jump is why they exploded and millions upon millions of people had RAW on one TV in the house with the VCR recording, while having Nitro on the other TV in the house with the VCR recording. 12. To emphasize, the Monday Night Wars era made wrestling practically the apex predator of television entertainment. I mean, it was beating Monday Night Football, back when it was still a huge deal. It was beating the World Series. This is why I say to this day that much of today's fanbase doesn't truly grasp the sheer size of the true hardcore wrestling fanbase. That fanbase just left when old school wrestling left. There were RAWs and Nitros back then, where you couldn't even get in the building for less than $50, and had to buy your tickets weeks in advance. Today, I can go up to the Box Office an hour before the show and, not only have my pick of most sections, but drop a $20 and simply go in the upper deck. This one man had a major influence on ALL OF THIS, and never even had a World Title in Singles competition with a major promotion, on top of routinely not being hurt by doing jobs. Not to mention, the array of phrases and mannerisms that would get some of the hugest pops of the night. 'Hey Yo'. Flinging the tooth pick. How Hall would get rev'd up as a heel like he's gonna destroy the babyface, before feeding the babyface like crazy. The surveys. Hell, one of the best feuds of that era was Hall vs. a retired wrestler turned commentator (The Living Legend). Even when they came back to the WWE, go back and watch the ORIGINAL footage of No Way Out. The crowd is ready to explode just waiting for him to say two words. I mean, the man came straight into the WWF, from WCW as a mid-carder, feuded with Randy Savage right away, and held his own. That's how good he was.

In his 1st book, Shawn Michaels said it was Hall who suggested to him to use the superkick as his finisher. At the time Michaels was using the superkick as a regular move in his repertoire, and the back suplex was his finisher. According to HBK, Scott said the superkick was his best move. Scott knew what he was talking about, and he was right. Scott had a mind for the business.

That first "...yeahhh" out of Jimmy tells the story. Scott never got enough credit for what he brought to the biz in the 90's. The other comments already listed the accomplishments but we're all feeling the somber vibes this week. It was nice of the WWE to keep their video tribute positive but it really kinda drove this one home. It hurts more than I expected it to. Thank you for everything Scott!

One consistent thing I’ve heard of the kliq is most of them are fine when alone. They seem to just play off each other when together

My heart broke with this news. Scott was one of my all-time favorites. I've followed his career since the vignettes before he debuted to what was then, the WWF. I was so proud of his progress. This is just such sad news, man. I'm seriously bummed.

From what I’ve always heard, Kevin was the nicest guy amongst the Kliq. Scott seemed to have humbled himself over the years and it’s tragic that at his happiest time he was on borrowed time. He’s definitely someone young wrestlers can study, hell, The Rock has said that was his favorite wrestler and studied him. Be in peace Scott, you’re finally gonna get to get back at Curt for all those ribs.

I have met .. Scott hall and kevin Nash at the AIW wrestling meet and greets … both of them were super nice. When I brought kevin nash’s picture to have Scott hall sign it.. he said to me.. oh cool big kev signed it.. tell you what I’ll do.. I’ll sign my name next to Nash. ..

Saw him at his first MSG house show vs Savage and his last MSG house show vs Helmsley and a ton in between. Great memories, great times. Rest in Peace and thank you!

I’m not one to cry a lot when it comes to people dying, but I cried over Scott because I not only watched so much of him but because I could identify with him especially in the last 10 years. Overcoming his demons the way that he did really resonated with me because I have faults, and struggles that I have to deal with of my own. I took a lot of inspiration from him. He became like a role model in a sense for me. Such a shame that he had to go this early this way. We’ll miss you Scott. Thank you for the inspirations, and the memories that you left behind for us. Until we meet again! Rest In Peace.

The afterlife better be ready to say "Hello to the Bad Guy."

Razor Ramon was one of the best wrestling characters from that era. The accent (though bad lol) the look and facial expressions, the hair, the toothpick flick, the wardrobe, the gear with the vest. He was cool, enough for the women to like him, and for the guys to value his in ring work and see how cool he is. Then, his transition to the Outsiders with Nash and the subsequent founding of the NWO changed the business. My wrestling history doesn't go back that far because I was born in the late 80's, but I can't remember before that when a bad guy was cool. Tough loss for the business in my opinion

I remember when I first saw Razor Ramon make his debut, I was hooked. The look, the swagger, the (fake) accent, the toothpick, etc. Never saw anything like it or since then in pro wrestling. He had a tremendous physique and he could really move for a guy his size. I loved his entrance, his signature moves and had never seen a finisher like the Razor’s Edge. At that moment, he became my favorite wrestler and still is to this day. Then he went on and became a big part of the greatest wrestling storyline ever when he became a founding member of the nWo. The rest is history. The wrestling world lost a major star, legend, and inspiration. Thanks for all the memories and machismo, Bad Guy. Rest easy, chico.

A hero of my childhood and proof that getting clean is a reality, for me and others...bless you Scott Hall, you'll be missed.

One of my childhood favorites, RIP Bad Guy.

I know Hall wasn't in the best place, during his 2002 return but a short run with the IC title would have been a nice nod back to only 5/6 years previously, when he last held it and before everything changed. Hell Goldust for that matter, is someone that I'm surprised they never put the IC title back on, in any of his WWE returns since 2002, because he also held it when it really meant something.

Scott Hall showing up on Nitro got me back into wrestling. I had to buy a 2nd VCR so I could start recording both Monday night shows while I was at work.

I was a kid when Scott debuted as Razor Ramon. I got to meet him after a match at a house show. He let me hug him. He was such a nice guy outside the ring. He loved meeting fans, especially kids who loved his ring work. He was "the bad guy" in the ring, but he had a genuine smile that made people like him. He was larger than life but a great person. He will be greatly missed.

It's great to hear Jim recognize how talented Scott was and his big contribution into starting the Attitude Era. He really made it cool to be the bad guy. I don't think there will ever be someone like him. He was also one of the nicest people I've met, despite having fought with tons of demons. We lost one of the greatest and most underrated names in wrestling. Thank you Scott and RIP.

The WWE Network has a great special about Scott Hall called Living On A Razors Edge The Scott Hall Story. I would recommend it as sad as it is in the end it gives a great insight into the man and why he had such awful life consuming demons. I hope god if he exists forgives Scott more than Scott himself ever did

So many good points about Scott Hall have been mentioned and here’s mine - he gave absolutely 0 shits about doing a job. Lose to The Kid on TV? Hector Garza? Chris Jericho? He understood that if you were good enough that it didn’t matter if you lost. He was doing jobs on TV while Hogan, Warrior, Savage who was crazy about not jobbing at the end, etc wouldn’t even consider doing any job. In 1998 his return was the center of a whole PPV and what did he do? Go out and do the job. And he never lost any heat because he was that good.

From what I could tell from various interviews and whatnot, Scott was a real empathetic dude. He carried the weight of his self-defense killing of another man and his failed married on his shoulders. RIP Chico

I was a fan of Scott Hall the first time I saw him. He had this natural coolness you can't teach. This is the first time the dead of a wrestler really hits me. It's always sad but he was a big part of my childhood and one of the reasons I became a wrestling fan. Rest in peace, Scott. ✌🏻

Yep., from the first moment I saw a jeans clad Scott Hall hop the barrier on WCW televsion and utter those famous first words, "Hey YO". I was hooked. I was only a casual observer of wrestling in the 90s before then. After that, it was like must-watch tv for me every monday night.

Scott Hall sounds like Sylvester Stallone trying to do a Spanish accent.

Awesome thumbnail for the Bad Guy! 🙌

The music, the walk, the look, the toothpick, the trash talk to the wardrobe guy about his chains, Christ just his punches, the subtle taunts with the boots on his opponents face, the Razors Edge, the Mic skills. It almost felt like whatever Scott Hall did turned to gold. Razor Ramon was one of the few wrestlers that I said "I dont care if hes a jerk, I'm cheering him"
