    Razor may have been "The Bad Guy" but him putting over Kid and then remaining best of friends until his unfortunate passing is one of the greatest and most humble stories in wrestling. We all need a friend like that.

    Jesus wasn't perfect because he's a murderer and rap*ist in the bible. Since he's God in the bible, he ordered for babies and women to die and keep little girls as sex slaves. “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. but all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.” - Numbers 31:17-18

    Scott Hall as Razor Ramon was fantastic, he really bucked the trend in WWF in 1992-3 where there was a big fall-off in the roster, and other newcomers/returnees and their gimmicks weren’t up to standard. And it’s worth remembering that he was in the WWF for l think less than four years! But he immediately looked and felt main event calibre, with a completely different attitude and personality, and was always a star. He, and a lot of WWF all time greats, weren’t actually there for very long, shorter on average than the vast majority of recent and current wrestlers, but they left far more memorable legacies.

    He was in WCW immediately beforehand, as The Diamond Studd, nearly exactly the same look, same in-ring, same moves, and it did absolutely NOTHING at the bottom of the card. It took the Razor Ramon name and persona to really unlock Scott Hall as a larger than life personality, and WWF going for it and pushing him as a top star almost immediately.

Vince saw this and capitalized on it.

    The picture of Hall, Nash, Taker, Shawn, Paul Bearer, and HHH always sticks with me because it looked like he fit right in with all of the top guys who carried WWF through the early to mid nineties before things really went off the cliff and you had Shawn and Taker really being the only guys who carried the fledgling on their backs while WCW was about to transition into the NWO era.

    Well, he'd have to get in line behind: Ted DiBiase, Paul Orndorff, Curt Hennig, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, Jimmy Snuka, among others. But I always liked Hall, thought he was a great performer. He was perfect for the upper mid-card: didn't look out of place when he was in main events, could make other guys look better, etc. And as his shoot interviews attest, he had a really sharp mind for the creative side of things. If he could have stayed sober, he could have made substantial contributions behind the scenes.

    @@c.s3369 I have to respectfully disagree. All those guys I mentioned had much bigger peaks during bigger eras of the business, and were also bigger in different territories. For example, if Vince hadn't been able to steal Hogan from Verne Gagne, his plan was to put the belt on Dusty when he took WWF national. Hennig had already been the AWA champ by the time he got to WWF. Orndorff had mega feuds with Hogan at the peak of WWF's business, and was the backup option if Andre was physically unable to work WM III. I love Hall as a personality and performer, but he was a high-midcard guy, not a main event guy. Hall himself even knew that and talked about it in shoot interviews. He knew he didn't belong in main events with Shawn Michaels, etc.

    For those unaware, the Favored Nations clause came in at a point where Bischoff and WCW were legitimately concerned that Hall and Nash were somehow going back to WWF. Hall and Nash knew they weren't, but seized the opportunity to get more money out of the company. So, when Bischoff and Co. came to them with their 'This is the most we can afford. We can't go any higher' offer, Nash and Hall countered with the Favored Nations idea. That if it were true then they wouldn't be able to bring in anyone else for more than what they were getting. The one person excluded from the clause was Hogan, since nobody made what Hogan made. WCW then said they can't do it for 'everybody' they bring in and had Hall and Nash list ten guys. For whom, if WCW brought them in, Hall and Nash would have to get a raise that equals what the new guy was getting. Bret Hart was one of the ten names. The Undertaker was also one of the ten. Which is why Nash tried to convince Taker to jump shit around 99', but Taker decided to stay and Vince took care of him in the long run.

    Jim doesn't like to trash people who were; good to him & his colleagues, had respect & drive for the wrestling business, didn't make absolutely stupid decisions as a personality flaw, and weren't just evil POS's. Scott may have done some things that Jim disapproves of, and I think he's willing to cut him a little slack for it. That's fair though.

    You know Brian brings up a very good point. I have known a few people who had addictions and went to rehab and the ones who it sticks for tell me that the reason they kept clean was they kept busy. Also four of the six people also said leaving the area they lived and moving somewhere else was helpful. I am a larger guy and I have been on three cruises and each time people have said that I would return five kilos heavier because of the food, but because I had something to do for every minute I was awake on the cruise's, I actually lost four kilos each cruise. If you have an addiction or you are easily tempted by drugs, sugar or anything then keep busy doing something else.

    We had Scott Hall come in to a show for SWO in York, PA back in 2007, 2008...not sure what year. He was part of a Six Man tag match, teaming with the babyfaces in the blow-off of a feud. He was on his game that night. No signs of intoxication. The show was a fundraiser that raised too few funds, because of his fee and they paid his air fair.

I don’t know what his contract situation like with WCW but I know he wasn’t there at the end because in 2000 ECW mentioned Hall was working there but sadly had to let him go as well because he was so fucked there as well. I just hope he’s now in a better place and free of pain
