    The biggest missed opportunity in WCW was not letting him just wrestle.

All those guys were some of the best in-ring wrestlers in the business at the time.

    Maaaan this guy was SO SHARP...brilliant mind for the business. When he said "some guys matches were entertaining enough the announcers could talk about other stuff" Booker T immediately came to mind. That is awesome that Scott would talk to guys like this behind the scenes. Booker and Bret had that in common even though Booker was also good on the mic in addition to his ring skill. Then of course Benoit, Guerrero and Jericho all fit that bill as well. Scott should have been a booker or head creative for some promotion....r.i.p.

  • @nonope2207

    This really tells you a lot about Scott. You could tell he was a little offput by Bret calling the shots in their matches and saying if he'd had more time he wouldn't have allowed it to happen, and the interviewer throws in a "Do you think he's overrated like Flair says?" and Scott immediately cuts that off. Why? Because Scott can disagree with something and still not be a hater. Too many other wrestlers just can't get over themselves and become full on haters for the dumbest of reasons.

      Plus: At that time (January 1993) it was the right move by Hart. Hall was relatively fresh in the WWF and Hart was the champion. And Hart knew how to put over other wrestlers and make them look good. Actually these guys should've had an angle in later years when they were fully "seasoned".

      Most of the kliq very much respected Bret, and liked working with him. Nash had nothing but great things to say about working with him as well. Really it was only Shawn that had the problems with him. But the rest of the kliq all as workers saw him for exactly what Bret was. A very easy guy to have great matches with. They never had to sweat a thing with him. They'd be making money, and be getting taken care of with the highest level of skill.

    I love Scott, but some of these comments are quite silly. Bret was a phenomenal heel in 97 coming into WCW & his mic work had advanced quite a bit by that point. Bret was white hot at the time WCW got their hands on him, & they brought him in as a fucking referee. Also with the way WCW & the NWO angle was being run at that time, maybe they should have changed the stupid constant runs ins & comedy & lack of wrestling & concentrated on the wrestling aspect.

      I think people overlook the way Bret sold the product on the mic. His serious demeanor alone made you think he wasn't messing around so when he dropped a few cuss words in his pipe bombs it made the heat seem legitimate. I appreciated the fact that he didn't play a hokey pokey character and stayed true to his persona during an era when everyone else was looking for cheap sophomoric pops and comedic routines.

    • @DavidWolfe-yo5bq

      They had a golden opportunity to have Sting go over Hogan clean(and according to hogan and bischoff sting wasn't at the top of his game with personal issues)....with the idea that Bret would be in the mix to challenge for the title. Have hogan use his rematch clause and have bret interfere on behalf of sting, and nash interfere for hogan. No contest. Then do a fatal 4 way with sting as champ, bret, hogan and nash. Use that match to see nash betray hogan for Bret letting Bret win the belt. Bret is the new leader of the NWO, and kick out all of the watered down guys. Bring it down to Bret, Nash, Hall, and Randy Savage. That would make it strong again and put a fresh paint. Have Hogan do a long walk back to the yellow and red. So many great ways to tell this story with Bret. How did they get it wrong? Just baffles me.

    Hall got one thing correct here: the nWo was a circus that turned the WCW into a clown show with lots of useless trash talking and barely any proper wrestling, and Bret did not fit in there because he was a proper Wrestler who took his craft seriously and had a sense of pride regarding his work.

    Bret was mishandled. Bischoff admitted so. Bret and VKM even both said before he left 'they're not gonna know what to do with me' and he was right. Bret is still a giant of the industry and the fact he apparently told AEW he'd agent matches and stuff for them and they REFUSED is one of the biggest mistakes in aews short, and tragic history. Bret offers you a hand, you take it. Especially when it comes to putting matches together. Hall offers you a hand on promo work, you again take him up on that. You let people help you make money. Miss Hall, sad how his last days were, but, legends never really due. May he RIP.

    This is the first time Ive heard WCW and when Bret joined the company. From the first week he was there, I was upset at how he was handled. I remember hearing about Bret joining and thought he was a huge upgrade to WCW. We had all the NWO noise going on, they were great but Hulk was far past his prime (my opinion, don’t get upset!). I was fan enough I bought an NWO t-shirt. The story was a great idea but it had way to much air time and robbed fans with not enough wrestling time. Bret signing should have him vs Goldberg day one. Bret could make anyone look like a superstar. Fans never saw any of that happen. Was Russo the booker? My memory is bad after several strokes and I no longer remember when Dusty stopped being the head booker. Hellfire! Dusty was old but a Bret vs Dusty match would be the biggest match in WCW and could sell out a Starcade or other PPV event.

It’s always come off to me as him being loyal to friends of his who Bret has had legitimate heat with, and depending on what had happened in the world of wrestling drama at any given time, Scott would kinda tailor his opinion to that moment.
    Such an interesting and complicated dude, was Scott.

    It is interesting to hear that Scott didn’t feel Bret was great on the mic.
    He came off great in WWF, but that could be because the company had a better environment to help those guys. For example, pre-recording as much as they could.

    Scott Hall had a solid wrestling mind and is a great shoot interview, but Bret Hart was sorely underrated on the microphone. Bret Hart's "Who are you to doubt El Dandy" interview with Mean Gene was top shelf. WCW definitely dropped the ball with Bret.......... and countless others.

    The problem with WCW and Bret was that WCW was showcasing good technical wrestling on the midcard and lower, but that was Bret's strength. Also, at the time, it was WCW vs. NWO. Bret wasn't WCW and he didn't vibe with NWO. They could have tried to use Bret to IMPROVE the overall quality of upper card matches, but it was Hogan's kingdom, and that wasnt gonna work.

    I always liked Scott Hall. Goldberg never got on the mic for a long time and got over huge, because he was featured with purpose. I was a huge Bret Hart fan. He was hardly ever on TV and when he was, he was rarely featured in any major matches or angles. That’s on management.

    I think while Hall said it was Live, it also shows what was wrong with WCW. They expected everybody to be able to do everything instead of catering to their strengths. If you know Bret isnt good on the mic,.. .why put him in the position of being a talker? If you know hes good being taped where you can feed him lines.. why not tape his work and put it in the live broadcast? Like why make it difficult... its freaking Bret Hart.. you cater to his strengths not his weaknesses.

    Bret was great on the mic. You're there to sell a match. You don't have to be a comedian or a poet. Those things are fine, but you don't have to have that.
    And lol, it's not even a question IF WCW mishandled Bret. He was THE hottest name in the business when he came in. The problem was the top 10 guys in WCW all had Bischoff (idiot) contracts, so they had creative control over how they were booked. There was nothing for Bret to do, but wrestle midcarders.

    One of the biggest mistakes was WWE not turning Scott Hall back into Razor. Everyone loved the 'bad guy.' But as usual, Vince wanted pay back for him leaving. Vince is a piece of crap. Scott was such a good wrestler. He could make anyone look like a million bucks. His reactions to taking bumps was so funny. He could tell a story with every hit. He truly made it look like every hit was actually full force. So many of the wrestlers today have the same boring moves. They are all stick figures. They have a stupid catch phrase and come up with these unrealistic finishers and throw some stupid name on it. When Scott or Nash hit their finishers, you could believe that it would truly knock someone out. Some of these guys today do a stupid running kick and smack their leg to make it sound like they actually hit their opponent. It is so obvious, it is not stupid.

    Funny thing, Scotty Hall was 'Da Bad Guy'. Doink beat Bret on a house show. Lex stiffed Brody in the cage in the humidity of Florida. Tempers flared and THAT'S why Bruiser no-sold, and THAT'S why Lawrence ran away. Fonzie confirmed it. Tap 'Bill Alphonso shoot'. The Nasty Boys were shooters. Doink was 'Bourne Again'. Mark Carroway was 'The Phenom'. Punk played Doink. LOD vs The Powers was the classic. Brutus trained Tommy and Davey in the art of the promo. Hogan couldn't let his ego go, but not through want of trying. Although a religious man, 'BigBad' Dan Spivey wouldn't think twice about tagging jobbers for real if they didn't comply. He'd then say a prayer for them in the back, and ask god for forgiveness. Ironically, this is how he came up with the Wailin Mercy gimmick. Yes sir. Yes indeed. Shawn didn't take to Foley at first. Mick overheard a HBK rant about him and ran out of the building. Austin blames Mero for his split lip, and subsequent stitches at KOTR96. Hogan got to the chief Yappapi Indian about using their sacred name in an entertainment setting. The chief relented only after Terry signed some shirts. Hillbilly Jim was a real hillbilly. Ted Dibiase. Six foot one. Two hundred and sixty pounds. Omaha, Nebraska. A two time all American. Raven wrote the infamous Chris Benoit promo at Starrcade 97. Chris got to Scotty backstage and asked him to write him a decent promo. Scotty inked a classic and couldn't wait to hear it. Chris forgot it when it came time, causing heat between the two men. In Canada, Jacques Rougeau was king. He even outdrew and beat Hogan clean for the title. Candido shot on Horowitz when Barry used Chris's finisher without calling it. Janetty was supposed to get the HBK gimmick. Vince nixed it because of his drug use. Steven Borden nixed the WCW push of Raven. Scotty got hot and headed back to ECW to cool of. He even tried to convince Page Falkinberg to go with him. How 'bout that, huh? In a rare bout, Piper and Virgil beat Barbarian and Haku. A 30 minute classic, the match was uploaded to RUclips, tap 'Piper and Virgil vs Babarian and Haku'. KC's have finally released their Lex Luger compilation. It's called The Lex-Files, and Lawrence had a hand in it's inception. Double J went to Chuck about taking a Sweet Chin Music at SSeries94. The two men would practice the spot for hours, and even danced around to With My Baby Tonight. Jinder Mahal was to lead a stable of terrorists. Vince only nixed it when Linda said it was in bad faith. Bossman beat Freddy Krueger AND Leatherface in tag team action. The match took place in the far east and was billed as a 'Halloween Chamber of Horrors' match. Yes, it was. Sherri and Liz were supposed to have a program. Master Fuji was an accomplished sushi chef, and would cook for BSK. Sometimes he'd put laxatives in Rodney's food. Paul Laveck would tag jobbers for real if they wouldn't comply. Jameson and Harvey Wippleman were supposed to have a one on one match at Rumble 92. Vince nixed it at the last minute.

    He was there to wrestle. Bret Hart monkeying around like a frat house boy is not Bret Hart. So he did the only thing he could do, which was get younger guys over like Benoit, Malenko, and Booker, or wrestle guys he liked such as Piper and Sting.
