He truly was something special. He had a GREAT mind for this business. He knew when he was being fucked over. And what he was worth. One helluva worker.
@@83reggieT interesting insight yea I could see that miffing Curt a lil and Curt just never got a great run in WCW but maybe the repackaging of him as a country act was okay. I was watching wwe at that point
@@83reggieT yes I could see Scott being the bigger fish in WCW for sure even if Scott never really took the next step to being a star but WCW was so stacked with talent it was hard to ever get a main event push bc of Hogan and lame cameo matches and the cameo feuds of Leno, Malone and DDP was a lil better and ultimate warrior wasn’t good either
Scott was one of my favorites in WWF when I was a kid. If you were a wrestling fan, you knew who Razor was. I think he had one of the best theme songs ever. One of the biggest mistakes Vince ever made was not bringing back the Razor character when they came back to WWE.
@@arthurmorgan7086 which was brought on by the culture of professional wrestling that he was in. When you work the schedule that did, doing what they do, you look for ways to cope with the pain, injuries, and lack of sleep. For them that was a nonstop cycle of drugs and alcohol.
Razor was such a wealth of knowledge and storytelling from the industry. It's a shame we didn't get more time with him to hear it all, but I'm happy what we do have exists.
Well i look at it this way Scott. If you hadn't left their would have been no NWO. It was Vince's stubbornness that made your decision. But in hindsight it was probably THE BEST decision you could have made. Miss you brother. You were one helluva talent. And knew the dirtiness of this business MUCH better than most.
As much as I despise his backstage politicking/bullying of other wrestlers, you have to give Scott credit for always being brutally honest - unlike his Kliq pals. Also, his Vince impression is spot on. 😄
Never been Scott Hall fan or Kevin Nash fan yea i started watching WWE 2000 so i missed 96-99 years WCW but they always cared bout money more than wrestling
Razor came to the WWF about 5 yrs too late. By the time Scott really became popular the eras were changing. Razor would have been incredible 86- 90. Prime Razor vs Macho, Warrior, Rude, Perfect, Steamboat, Dibase, Dusty. Man it would of been awesome. No doubt he'd be in a program with Hogan as well.
Asking for more money at a time when the business had just about bottomed out probably wasn’t the most calculated move. Luckily though, it worked out for everyone. Razor had reached his ceiling as a babyface in the WWF and would have needed to turn heel for his character to gain both some range & depth and thus increase his drawing potential, same goes for Lex just before he bounced.
RIP SCOTT HALL I WAS THERE HIS LAST FIGHT AT MADISON SQUARE GARME MY AUNT AND COUSIN HE FOUNGHT HHH ....HE ANNOUNCED THERE HE WAS LEAVING WWF TO THE CROWD
While maybe not intended, what a burial of Bret Hart. Give him the belt and he's happy to make just 400K and beat everyone. So of course Vince isn't going to pay Hall and Nash more than that and look what happened. Bret was the indirect reason WCW passed WWF in the ratings and then when Bret refused to drop the title to Shawn, he became the indirect reason WWF retook the #1 spot with inadvertently helping to create the Mr. McMahon character to butt heads with Steve Austin.
Bret help to make Stone Cold and he already dropped the title to Shawn at Mania 12 and Shawn didn’t return the favour at Mania 13 which was always the plan.
I hear what hes saying but as a kid back then i atarted liking him less when theybstarted having him lose more. Watching him lose to chest strap cornball JJ Jeff Jarett was awful.
Vince understood that his talent was his product. He learned from his dad that he should bleed out whatever he could from the guys working for him, and once they were spent, or not worth it anymore, drop em. Hall was still really over at that point, but I think Vince saw him as being more trouble than he was worth. Vince also hated it when his guys tried to get one over on him in negotiations. He took that personally, and I think that's what happened with Hall.
It’s funny how Hall brought up having to go to target and sign autographs for free. Then drive 200 miles to the next show. Back in 94’ Hall and Tanaka had an autograph meet and great at the Philadelphia Racetrack. It was $5.00 a person. There had to be about 200 people there. Hall and Tanaka were a little over an hour late. I remember Hall being real pissed off. Not happy to be there. I was 10 years old. I was petrified of him. He was a huge guy. RIP Scott
Only an idiot would’ve stayed in Hall and Nash’s situation. They left, made more money and were some of the most over wrestlers in history once the NWO took off
@@N714-d3s Wtf you talking about? How was it any different?? Taker EASILY couldve SOLD OUT and joined the NWO, but he didnt Seemed to work out well financially for him in the long run. Staying with WWF wouldve been better for Hall/Nash in the long run as well
Scott was probably a lot more business savvy than Brett when it came to the wrestling side of things. Brett had a lot more personal pride that caused him issues with his career, whereas Scott knew to put the money before his pride. Unfortunately, Scott made a lot of bad decisions in his personal life that really tanked his finances. Brett obviously was smarter at holding onto his money.
I remember watching WWF Action Zone one morning in 1996, and hearing whoever the host was (I think it was Kevin Kelly)Say that Razor 🪒 was suspended for conduct unbecoming of the WWF. What a snow job!!! They were trying to bury Scott, and make it his fault. Another example of how evil Vince can be
RIP to the late-great Scott Hall

This is one of the best most honest interviews I ever watched .RIP Scott
And on top of that he's discussing what basically kicked off the Monday night wars.
Scott was always honest he knew that the business was a work and treated it that way
I never knew he killed a guy. It haunted him his whole life.
Am feeling that 🏝️ 2 🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲
He truly was something special. He had a GREAT mind for this business. He knew when he was being fucked over. And what he was worth. One helluva worker.
Perfect was such an invaluable friend to Hall. Perfect was an amazing pro wrestler who looked out for others. Great guy
And Scott really took everything Curt said to heart. I wish Razor Ramon and Mr. Perfect would have had a run together as tag team champs.
Not to speak ill of the dead but Scott said in WCW Curt was acting funny towards him cause he was a little higher on the totem pole in WCW.

That was a nice finish from Pat Patterson on Razors final match at the Garden..
Gotta love to hear Scott talk.
I love how he explains the wrestling business
@@MrProzanoff 💯 FACTS
Scott is the GOAT. RIP Bad Guy.
These stories are incredible. Scott Hall gave everything he had to wrestling.
And sadly, wrestling took him away from here.
@@dr.floridamanphdno the damage he did to his health with years of drug and alcohol abuse did

One of the best and smartest old school bigger wrestlers. RIP Scott.
So sad we’re losing these icons.
I know. I didn’t realize Sid passed away too. Thank God we still have Hogan, Nash, Sting, and Taker. Who else is really left?
@@thefrase7884Ric Flair.
RIP SCOTT HALL. U are loved and missed so much.❤
This was a great interview. Scott was no dum dum
That was a low-key great impression of Vince McMahon. I can definitely see him saying stuff like that.
RIP, Starship Coyote, the Gator, Scott Hall, the Diamond Studd, and Razor Ramon!!!!😂❤😊
“Say goodbye to the bad guy.” - R.I.P. Scott Hall
God bless Scott. He was one of us.
Scott was so smart
Ive heard all of his stories 50 times. I dont care. I just love to hear the man talk buissnes
Vince loved Shawn Michaels too much
He was everything Vince wanted to be and everything he wanted in a son.
Boy Toy.
You mean HBK was Vince's boy toy
With good reason. Shawn never had a bad match.
Amazing how good HBK was even though he was partying and eating pills constantly
That was my guy. What a stud.
Yeah, I could listen to Scott. Talk about anything for hours.
OG SCOTT HALL#1 AKA RAZOR RAMON#1 (RIP)
As much as I despise his backstage politicking/bullying of other wrestlers, you have to give Scott credit for always being brutally honest - unlike his Kliq pals.
Also, his Vince impression is spot on. 😄
Scott made a mint in WCW and blew every last penny of it too, hey yo
I was just thinking that ..😊 all that extra money for him sped up everything😢
RIP Scott Hall. A class act.
That match with Triple H sounds great
Miss Scott so much.😢
Love ya, Scott Hall.
Never been Scott Hall fan or Kevin Nash fan yea i started watching WWE 2000 so i missed 96-99 years WCW but they always cared bout money more than wrestling
Coolest dude in wrestling, rip Razor
Razor came to the WWF about 5 yrs too late. By the time Scott really became popular the eras were changing. Razor would have been incredible 86- 90. Prime Razor vs Macho, Warrior, Rude, Perfect, Steamboat, Dibase, Dusty. Man it would of been awesome. No doubt he'd be in a program with Hogan as well.
He planted the seeds that began the attitude era. I think people will still be talking about him in 50 years.
The scott hall from 86 wasn't ready tho watch his gator Scott promos
He was still perfect for his time but as we can see Vince didnt handle him well later on
RIP bad guy. Sad he had overcome his demons and things were looking up for him and he passed away.
Kevin Nash be like: "Scott! Scotty!"
Asking for more money at a time when the business had just about bottomed out probably wasn’t the most calculated move. Luckily though, it worked out for everyone.
Razor had reached his ceiling as a babyface in the WWF and would have needed to turn heel for his character to gain both some range & depth and thus increase his drawing potential, same goes for Lex just before he bounced.
Sucks he's gone such a dude of dudes
RIP SCOTT HALL I WAS THERE HIS LAST FIGHT AT MADISON SQUARE GARME MY AUNT AND COUSIN HE FOUNGHT HHH ....HE ANNOUNCED THERE HE WAS LEAVING WWF TO THE CROWD
Rip Scott hall
Rip Scott Hall.
You pick the right guy chio

Not an accurate summation of Brett Hart
Wcw used Bret entirely wrong. No one ever saw Bret as a heel.
WCW passed WWF in the ratings when Shawn was the champ in 1996 and Bret was on his couch. 😂
Bret help to make Stone Cold and he already dropped the title to Shawn at Mania 12 and Shawn didn’t return the favour at Mania 13 which was always the plan.
Bret took 6 months off after mania and let Shawn bomb as champion.
RIP SCOTT HALL AKA LAST CALL SCOTT HALL, AKA RAZOR RAMON AKA STARSHIP COYOTE, AKA TEXAS SCOTT❤❤❤
Yes they sold out many arenas, mark.
#RIPScottHall
Sold out the rass'l monopoly how dare he, what uh natural sounding wwe crowd chant
this man could negotiate a Lamborghini down to the price of a used Civic
He did better in the WCW as an in ring talent.
nWo 4Life
I hear what hes saying but as a kid back then i atarted liking him less when theybstarted having him lose more. Watching him lose to chest strap cornball JJ Jeff Jarett was awful.
If Scott would have stayed in WWF I do believe his career would have turned out even better than it was. He would have eventually won a world title
I disagree. No Scott Hall, no Nwo. No Monday night Wars that made wrestling cool and mainstream.
@@Tpckt33 Agreed, even though I think his Wrestlemania X ladder match was one of the best matches I have ever seen!
@@BlackHawk287 I agree with you on that bro
Hey
Yo
If it wasn't for these 4 selfish clowns , the world would never have gotten Austin as the King of the Ring and Austin 3:16 would never have happened.
Well said... Well said
Love Scott Hall but this exposed the business like no other they might as well have come out going I'm Shawn this is Paul and were just goofing around
Yeah very lame for them to come out and bro hug it out and break character , katfabe Mf’ers
Vince just didn't take talent seriously
Vince understood that his talent was his product. He learned from his dad that he should bleed out whatever he could from the guys working for him, and once they were spent, or not worth it anymore, drop em. Hall was still really over at that point, but I think Vince saw him as being more trouble than he was worth. Vince also hated it when his guys tried to get one over on him in negotiations. He took that personally, and I think that's what happened with Hall.
And he paid for it when WCW overtook them in the ratings not long after. He ended up destroying wrestling less than a decade later
Doing what’s best for business is what was best for Vince’s wallet not the wrestlers.

At the end of the day, Razor and Diesel SOLD OUT
It is what it is and you are who you are

Seemed to work out well financially for him in the long run. Staying with WWF wouldve been better for Hall/Nash in the long run as well
Saying Bret is a mark but he's rich and Scott died broke smh

Happy Razor Ramon left the WWF. The fake razor was better.
how long was he around. what a clown 🤡. marks like you are always so bitter.
