Scott Hall on nWo & Why Hulk Hogan Joined The Group
Ойын-сауық
Scott Hall reveals the full story of the nWo faction - Hulk Hogan joining, why it had so many members and Vince McMahon ultimately squashing it in WWF. Stream New Shoot Interviews 📺 TitleMatchNetwork.com
RIP to the late-great Scott Hall. Here the Bad Guy talks about arguably the greatest pro wrestling group of all the - the nWo. When you talk factions, nWo or Four Horsemen are usually the top two names mentioned.
Scott discusses how Larry Zbyszko came up with the idea for how he should enter World Championship Wrestling. Originally Eric Bischoff wanted Hall to walk down the ramp but Larry suggested he go through the crowd instead and interupt with a promo.
Find out how Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and later Hulk Hogan absolutely changed the game in WCW. If you didn't live through it you won't understand how big the New World Order was.
Hogan had creative control and decided to join the hottest heel group in the business with Hall and Nash. Hear why the nWo added so many members and how it got watered down.
Then get the full story on the return of the nWo in WWF.
Vince McMahon started pushing the faction huge in the World Wrestling Federation but according to Hall he squandered it because he didn't want to admit Eric Bischoff was right.
Scott also goes into detail on his Wrestlemania X8 match vs Stone Cold Steve Austin and why he says it was decent but not the best of his carrer. Finally we hear why the nWo vs DX storyline never took place in WWE.

I’ve heard this story about house shows from hogan Jarrett Nash etc about how the big names don’t do the smaller shows. I’d be pissed if I was a 15 year old excited to see the NWO and I get Vincent. Vince never let that fly. Stone cold Shawn razor Bret were all required to do house shows to make them special.

When Hogan was on top they ran 3 and sometimes 4 shows per night, with Hogan being in the big arenas. When Austin was on top, they only ran 1 show per night. Hogan never appeared on a small show for Vince, so those 15 year old excited kids in the small towns would never see Hogan or Warrior. They would get Repo man, Akeem, etc and nobody went home unhappy.
Razor Ramon is the real OG
Hulk did a house show in Chicago back in 97 against Luger (I was there). Must have been because it was Chicago.

Shawn was totally ready to jump ship, but Vince convinced him he would have just been another black&white T-shirt in the crowd of dudes under Hogan's shadow. (And gave him a dumptruck of money to stick around.)
What an interview! Only 14 minutes but so much jammed into it. The part that got me the most was when he talks about Eric bringing his drinking into the storyline. I agree it was not very classy. Honestly so many Scott fans out there and who wanted to see him with a Drinking problem. I cringed through it all. From an Eric standpoint maybe fe felt he needed to go their incase something went wrong. This was when Wrestling started showing live wrestling.
Best personality in wrestling, Scott Hall did wrestling just the way I like it: comical.
Scott Kurt and rude the 3 smartest guys in wrestling
Hall puking on bischoff was awesome
Lol! Dang I miss this dude. R.I.P Scott Hall. 4 Life! 4 Life!🤘🏾🕊️
It was a great idea and storyline. For Hall and Nash, it was great that they were able to make more money and have less days of work..but then you wonder if having less days was part of the problem for Hall. Having more time off seemed to allow him and his substance issues to get worse
Big Scott hall, from mid-south. He was huge well over 300lbs
In my Mount Rushmore for sure
Scott Hall is pretty frank about his comments but the NWO up in the WWF/WWE was already an over done deal/gimmick at that time. No recreation of a faction in any company is going to go over like the original place and time it started. Big pops for heel or face turns and the start of a faction has to have the right build. In the case of Hogan turning heel, the WCW capitalized on years and years of the face Hulkanania gimmick as created and built in the WWE. So when it happened, even though years before Hogan came into the business originally as a heel working with Andre then, the shock of the heel turn was just epic proportions. That was one opportunity that got away from McMahon. But bringing the NWO to WWE? Just wasn't as cool for the simple reason that the NWO in WCW went over on practically all the babyface talent over a period of many weeks and months of build up. Everyone, including heels, in WCW was a target unless they joined. Too many ultimately did join because they saw it as an opportunity to perhaps rise above mid-card status even though their talent wasn't good enough. Virgil/Vincent, Horace Hogan, Buff Bagwell, Scott Norton, Brutis Beefcake, there were others that cheapened or watered down the gimmick. Then the darn thing went black and red along with black and white. But they put alot of time in building up the NWO in the beginning. Vince would have never let a group like that go over his faces for such a long time, Rock, Austin, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Undertaker, getting beat down with NWO sprayed on their backs. Just would not have happened up North. Bischoff joining the NWO from his annoucers position. McMahon would have put himself over in that position. Oh well, it is or was what it was, something that made some money and then just sputtered out.

Austin also got screwed by bischoff firing him when he was supposed to msin even wcw shows working with ric flair. Austin wanted no part in putting them over & neither did rock.

I like Scott's personality. Seems like a sharp funny guy. However I think he 100% knew they pissed Arn off, and he was upset with good reason too. Scott was a person who put Massive amounts and variety of pills/drugs and alcohol in his body, which is no big deal, but a guy like that and a guy like Arn, who likes 10-12 "Cold-Beers" pretty often, but doesn't touch the "hard stuff" views these things differently LOL. I mean, I'm not upset "For Arn" by any stretch, but a dude Like Scott probably wouldn't gaf about almost ANY Label being put to him.
Then they could have teamed together as heels to form the Kliq for real lol

Being drunk on TV was not a parody for Hall it was reality. He was a drunk and junkie. Plain and simple. He ripped people off and couldn't care less because he was more concerned about being a drunk
Austin was a wuss at this time. No respect for Elder Statesman of WWF who were huge at elevating WCW in a Big Way.
Kinda strange he acted hesident to come back to WWe but had no problem going to that dumpster fire at TNA
Wcw fans never cared about Hogan except when he first came in and then the nwo
Dude would’ve been amazing as a booker
Scott Hall was hardly "great". There are many shoots on youtube where other wrestlers say he couldn't work worth a crap.
Never liked Scott Hall.
Hulk had a decade of the red and yellow gimmick and it had become stale. Happens to everybody. Austin started to get stale in 01’ just 5 years into his run on top. Hogan without even knowing it, had the power to create another wrestling boom like he did in the 80’s simply by turning heel. Wrestling became must see tv again. That’s the power he carried.
