It’s a shame he didn’t get along with Flair. Bc he put on such a GREAT program partnering with him against Savage and Perfect in the ‘92 Survivor Series. The lead up, the match…Good Stuff.
Flair was owed a $25K deposit and Herd wouldn't pay so Flair took the belt. Turner Broadcasting must have agreed because they refunded the deposit plus 50% interest to get the belt back.

I heard the story of Flair & Savage being yelled at by Vince about that match before. Bret talked about seeing that happen too.
Hey, Yo! 5 letters and two words that Scott said better than anyone. I believe WCW allowed Scott Hall to get comfortable with job security and good pay to where Scott got lazy but prime Scott Hall with the toothpick (throw) his entrance where he'd shuffle his arms and hands, the snake finger touch, his vicious high boot, his vicious close line, his rope shake to hype the crowd and when he'd have his opponent locked in for the razors edge and throw his arms out to get the crowd hyped before lifting 200+ pound men up with ease for the iconic razors edge. Im sure I missed some stuff but my point is Scott Hall is one of the greatest to ever step in the squared circle and wrestle. Fly high Scott
RIP Scott Hall but my dude was still skiing during this interview.

Apparently Scott doesn't understand that Rick had a significant Deposit of his own money that WCW refused to pay back. Court upheld that Rick had the right to posses the belt until WCW paid back the Deposit with Interest. Rick just couldn't show it on WWF tv because of copyright and trademark laws. I believe that Rick and Vince never had rick have the belt in front of a WWF house or TV Audience. Like Scott said, the shows weren't live, so Rick walked around with an old WWF belt and they blurred out that belt. So Scott is taking the oprotunity to Bury Rick about the Belt because as he says in this video he had HEAT with HOW FLAIR BOOKED HIM in WCW.

Scott is right. It’s why so many people stopped watching wrestling. matches usually end about 10 minutes after they should have. And each person usually kicks out of about three of the finishing moves (I mean, what’s the point of even having finishing moves anymore). Then kicks out of getting slammed through a table thrown off a 20 foot ledge. And finally loses to a spear
Scott had such a great mind. I always loved the smarter, more creative and polished guys, like Razor, Raven, guys like that

Fans are starting to find out how much of a more Value Scott Hall was as a Wrestling Legend.
He says he was low on the totem pole. I wouldn't go that far. He's talking about sharing the ring with Mr. Perfect and so forth. Definitely top 5 for me, along with Perfect and Piper, of never holding the championship. (And I complained when Kane held it for a single day.)
i can listen to him talking about the buisness 24/7. such an interessting way of looking at it
2:09 - 3 seconds of about 30% in-character 'Razor' face right there.
Did Ric Flair do the right thing? In my opinion, yes. He hadn't received the money he had put down for the belt, as was the custom for the NWA World title. it was a lot of money, and interest was also due. Jim Herd tried to screw him over. So, Flair did what he thought was right, and Vince told him to bring the belt to WWF, so it wasn't like he didn't realize that Flair was stabbing WCW....he handed him the knife.
Literally could have been the coolest high school principal on the planet.
R I P SCOTT
Second video I have seen this week mentioning how deceptively strong Shawn was. First the one where Cody says HBK picked him up off the ground in the back after Cody blew a superkick spot, and then this with Razor’s surprise at the impact of being shoved from behind by Shawn.
Scott Hall the bad guy but such a good dude
Loved Scott, but his analysis here was off. The belt went from Randy back to Flair because Randy didn't pop business after the WM 8 title win. It wasn't about Flair being the standard-bearer or Vince fully getting behind Ric, or anything like that. Flair was being used as a transitional champ and Bret got it a little over a month later. Also, as others have pointed out, Ric was screwed out of his deposit and that was why he did what he did with the WCW belt. You can say a lot of negative things about Ric, and you'd be right, but the guy did not have an issue doing jobs or doing business.
Damn, he sounds just like Vince!

Thats y vince liked Bret so much . .the story was more important than the moves
That's the problem with not knowing the back story about the belt and Flair. If you know the back story, everything Scott said here, he would not have said cause he is wrong. According to Scott, Flair should have given back the belt because that's what's good for business, and Flair would have been out I believe the amount is $26000. There is no reality in which I believe Scott Hall would have given the belt back not a chance.
00:06-Yep. Exactly how a low man speaks !😂. “He’s one of the bosses, right?”
But the curtain call and showing up drunk all the time is professional right?
I loved the razor promos before he wrestled
So… Hall says Flair was unprofessional by bringing the WCW belt, that he and Nash did the job on the way out to be professional, but he neglects to mention the Curtain Call, where he and Nash couldn’t be punished, leaving H to be the one hammered? Come on now…
