Damn I didnt even know Scott passed away, and I didnt realize how ripped he was back in the day, Razor ramon was one of the best characters in wrestling history, RIP Scott
Razor was my boyyyy!!
DDP deserves an award for the work he’s done to help these guys fight their demons.
I agree dude DDP is the real MVP he saved and helped so much kicking there habits out and getting em in shape. He helped jake the snake roberts iron sheik many many others and that is what makes ddp a real life hero scott hall will always be legendary
Ddp winning the title is one of my favorite moments in wrestling history! The crowd was insane that night I'll never forget it
They need to make a movie about DDP. Just his rise to champion in WCW would be pretty interesting enough for a good movie, let alone his work with the former wrestlers that fight addiction. Even people that aren't fans of pro wrestling would still really dig it if there was a DDP movie.
For sure hats off and a graceful bow to DDP ( Diamond Dallas Paige)👍✊😎
Totally
I'm happy he was inducted into the hall of Fame, and it happened before he departed this world. RIP Scotty.
I agree
He should have been inducted long ago !
❤🙏💫🕊️
I’m so happy he was around to see that he did make the company a lot of money I’m sure
I know (rip) Owen Heart would've been proud knowing Scott stuck up for him on that cruel joke.
I remember hearing about that.
That’s probably one of the things that made me respect him more.
PTSD is no joke. Scott did what he had to do to try and deal with his inner demons. Been there myself.
Self medication is common. My heart goes out to Scott and hopefully he'll find peace. RIP Scott "Razor Ramon, The Bad Guy" Hall.🙏💖
Hall had it all: Looks, Charisma, he could cut a promo and he was pretty good in the ring. It’s a shame he was never given a World Title run.
How very sad to see such a giant of an athlete, power bombing opponents, reduced to having to use a walking frame. R.I.P. Scott Hall.
I spent 20 years battling addiction before getting sober a few years ago. I have met hundreds of addicts over the years. They are all different ages, races, genders, and come from all walks of life. No matter what category they belonged to, they all had one thing in common. There was something they were running from. I was no different. That is one thing about addicts that is poorly understood. No one becomes an addict for no reason. The common denominator is trauma. Addiction is only the symptom of that trauma, and you can't fix the addict if you don't address the trauma. Nash said it best, and I don't think anyone ever got through to Scott. It's just so sad that he is more remembered for his failures than his numerous successes. Hall was one of the most talented and influential performers to ever step foot in the ring, and I choose to remember him for that. RIP Scott
As a male I hope we can keep changing the narrative on addictions/trauma and promote healthy well being as men. I’m sick of drugs and alcohol culture we grew up with.
All about mindset,
This is heartbreaking, thank you for putting this together for us. Man that quote from Nash about being a race horse to be whipped really got me.
Thanks, it was a sad one to make for sure
It really is. I always liked Scott Hall for his work. I can identify with his addictions as I am an addict myself. Ive been fortunate enough to be sober for the last 22 yrs. It gets a hold of some people and they cant get rid of it.

Self defense is not murder
It actually is but the thing is, you may not be punished as severely as cold blooded murder with no self defense
@@jessecrawford3897 self defense can't be murder because it is not premeditated
Shoukdve shot him in the gut or leg or something why the face?
@@thesauceinspector4280 second degree murder is not pre meditated. "Crime of passion"
You walk home to your wife cheating example
It was manslaughter you guys. However Scott Hall always felt guilty about it. He had serious PTSD over it even though it was self-defense.
DDP is the reason so many wrestlers keep going ,hes a true hero
Spivey really did give Scott a treasure with the crucifix powerbomb. I still think it's the best "big guy" finisher in history. The toothpick, the greasy hair, the mic work..
Whatever his personal faults, he's one of the best in history, and much like Piper, he didn't need a Heavyweight belt to get himself over with fans.
Thanks for this.
Yeah the Razors Edge looks painful and devastating. I think I honestly be afraid to take it. 😆
It was one of my favorite moves to give my created wrestler on the Smackdown games
@@SuperCrazyPsycho731 Lmao I used to love giving my little sister and little cousin the Razor's Edge onto the couch. Powerbombs and chockslams as well
@@bwestacado9643 I've never done the racist Edge on anyone but I can do the tombstone and chokeslam. Razor said she just seems a little dangerous and I didn't want the risk it because if something goes wrong yeah 😆
It was called "razors edge" lol 😆
Damn, as someone who has been arrested in baton rouge more than once, his baton rouge arrest almost sounds like a work itself to have gotten out in the same day
😢(😅😅?
When I heard that story from Scott that he had to shoot a guy dead in an alley to defend himself from getting killed, it broke my heart. Such a well-meaning person should never be put through as much crap as Scott had to deal with in his life.
Really such an unfortunate situation, happened to the nicest guy.
Unless you was there you never truly know exactly what happened or why so maybe stop speculating, the dead guy couldn't tell his version.
@@PW-zs2yxthe dead guy is dead for 100% typical merican reason….he brought a gun to a fist fight 😂😢sad but true..razor worked there and was an angel who sent tht idiot back to heaven😮whoops too soon…Scott hall was and is always Razor to me…he went through a tough drug and drunk fueled golden age….forever alive like all the best souls as is this channel shows ❤
Underrated great work as always. I hope your channel will grow much more.
Wrestle pod, you did good man, u really did. I'm just a casual fan of Scott Hall but your documentary made me appreciate his work a lot more
That’s the reason I make these! So glad this worked and had the desired effect
Great stuff. I’ve been a fan since the early 90s Razor days and still found out some things I didn’t know. Scholarly work on a legend who lives on.
I feel watching this has made me understand why Scott Hall fell off the rails and how he turned out because of that one incident back in 83, the year I was born, I grew up loving him during my high school and he was the man? I must say his past got the best of him and that murder he faced had him go down a very dark path for where there was no return. Rest In Peace Scott Hall.
He had PTSD which can be devastating. The memories that he had overcame him. Self meditation was his choice to try and block the memories out.
Thank God for DDP! He helped Scott and Jake live a healthier life.
RIP Scott. Hopefully you're at peace now. We'll miss you.💖
Not to be Debbie Downer but it all makes sense now! It was that altercation with the gun that messed up his mental health and gave him PTSD or panic disorder or something of that matter. Unfortunately, he self medicated himself for so long instead of gotten on the right psych medication. He did get better with help from DDP but all those years of booze and pills had already done it’s damage. RIP THE BAD GUY!
That picture of Scott's Click his boys at his Resting Place ⚰️is a sight of pure sentimental love for a friend who's time had finally came 😞! Scott? You're always be Razor Ramon, The Bad Guy God Bless You 🙏 Rest In Peace ✌️🕊️
As a small child who had to watch wrestling in secret because my parents didn’t think a girl should have that interest, I was fully immersed in WWF. I lived in that world to escape my home life and the fact that I didn’t fit in at school at all. It saved me. I was obsessed with Bret Hart but I also loved Scott Hall. He was so tough and flowing with confidence. But even when I was very young I thought his eyes looked wrong. Unhappy or sad and I always wondered if I was seeing something that wasn’t there.
You skipped the Diamond Studd.It’s good so far but What he got from Dallas at that point was big.Razor basically began because of DDP
True
By the way it’s Championship Wrestling from Florida, not “a promotion called CWF”. I just want to see you have the best possible content and knowing the names of significant territories will help with that. Also I think the computer voices really take the wind out of it when they pop up…
You should have added Hall's iconic phrase "Hey, Yo!" I think this video needed that.
It’s at 0:13
PTSD is no joke, that mess crept up on me out of NOWHERE when I retired 7 years ago.
He started out as Tom Selleck and became Al Pacino's big brother. Also gave Sting his wings.
Sting was already over and famous at the time but Scott Hall did recommend the crow look by asking him if he had seen the crow. He also said I ain't saying rip off taker but rip off taker.
He started of the 80’s the mullet and hair from Magnum PI to Scarface
Thank you for making videos that some of diehards don’t have time to make…. our love for wrestling is undeniable. The hours of footage I just discovered your channel now glad im here!
Shame he can’t pronounce names properly
I remember renting WWF tapes from Blockbuster as a Kid. Razor Ramon was always a standout performer! Then me and my Bro got into WCW Monday Night Nitro, we lost our minds when Scott Hall showed up, ushering in the NWO storyline!
His ladder matches phenomenon in the wwf Wrestlemania and summer-slam he had one at souled out 1999 against Goldberg.
I agree with all this. As an ex addict myself I could function perfectly normal (Obviously in daily tasks) but the need was always there. When you hear qoutes like "When you walk into arenas and people are cheering your name how do you top that rush". A lot of athletes end up in this way, injuries take their toll, the promoters are all "One more match" and the human body can only take so much.
Never an ex addict, always recovering, once an addict always will be, from one to another
Scott Hall is a Wrestling Legend. I enjoyed this Documentary.. Thanks for this knowledge and history of the Wrestling Legend..
Notification set. Can't wait.
It’s sad he’s passed away I’m 53 😢and I’ve shed a lot of tears over wrestlers i grew up too and I’m not ashamed to admit it I know how it’s like I’ve been sober off alcohol and drugs for probably better than 15 years if I had the money went through his hands I’d be gone by now to god bless you ❤you are definitely missed by many and now you can forgive yourself 😢 ❤god bless you big man
Thank you for making this video.
That mustache was dangerous! 😂😂😂
The amount of effort gone into these is next level. 💜
Right? Kid really made a great video. More folks should learn from his attention to detail.
Lol
Great doc, Wrestle Pod.
I appreciate you.
Scott always gave credit to those that deserve it
This dude was the best, nothing like him going on now.
This was so good. Like something out of a well produced TV show, minus the computer reading the quotes. I'd be happy to read your clips for nothing other than knowing I helped. I absolutely love wrestling, especially the topics you cover and the time period you cover.
I don't see anything in the last decade, or even two minus Brock Lesnar, that is even worth covering. Even covering the fact nothing is worth covering. The variables were so right during the attitude era, the Monday Night Wars. Iconic wrestling.
I was a huge Scott Hall fan and got to see him wrestle as Razor at a show back in 1993!! 🙂
Though as much as a fan I was of him as a performer, his life was total chaos.
As Warrior asked, where are the "Self Destruction" DVD's on him, Shawn Michaels, Joan Laurer, Tammy Sytch and anyone else whose life was/is a disaster outside of the ring?
All of them need a self destruction dvds of themselves especially
Chyna and Tamara Lynch. All of them were train-wrecks outside the ring even in the locker rooms as well scoring pills and Drugs including Jake The snake Roberts big time train wreck as well another self destruction DVD also needs to be about about Ahmad Johnson The Rise and fall of Ahmad Johnson there was a wrestler in the 80’s in the AWA or NWA promotion who a mullet and that pony tail long hair and a hairy chest with muscles 💪 like Tom selleck had in the 80’s that looked almost like Tom Selleck as magnum PI another they made a dvd on Andre the giant there one on Amazon as-well but a self destruction on andre the giant didnt come out either oh wait he died of tumor because of stend he had
This is brilliant thank you matey 👍🏻
Your videos are brilliant 👏
I watched WWF exclusively during the golden age as a young adult. From '88 to about '93. Not knowing the back story of a lot of these dudes as I do now since the age of the internet has become available and can readily teach us, I definitely recognized Hall as Razor to be a badass. I loved him, we had all seen Scarface up to that point. I had always loved heels, period. R.I.P.
Some of us taped one and watched the other, some us flipped back and forth and some of us watched one or the other. We all lived right through it.
@@SoulforSaleTrue. I taped one and watched the other
Razor Ramon always will be my favorite WWF wrestler.....i was born in '87, and when i stopped following/watching wrestling it was still the WWF (Stone Cold, Nation of Domination, DX, NWO...my "golden age") and to this day, i even show my son who Razor is on our classic SNES games LOL Love this man, beautiful documentary, Rest In Power to the Bad Guy. Descansa En Poder Humilde Guerrero!
I was born in 87 also 💪💪
Scott Hall was not a murderer. He truly didn't deserve the hell he endured.
I agree
Another great video. Can you do a documentary on Kevin Nash? Love your videos
I was in prison with a guy that had a similar situation. He was in on drug charges but fought with someone, gun came out, other guy got killed. I was on a block with this guy for like 6 months and it seemed to take a toll on him everyday. Imagine going 40 plus years with that on your mind. I couldn't. I'd probably take myself out
It’s horrific and almost hard to think about
I saw Scott Hall before he became Razor Ramon, he was very good in the AWA
Your title and thumbnail are so brutal I cannot even watch a second of this.
Awesome doc! If you ever need some voice overs done, I'd be happy to volunteer!
this was actually surprisingly really good. kept me entertained through being ill thanks. will watch more
Rest in peace my childhood Hero. May your demons be gone.
Tried to follow this to the end but it’s an all over the place rambling that goes back and forth and forth and back and your timelines are all contradicting themselves.
I commend your efforts, but this is all over the place. There is a proper piece covering Scott’s career and life on Amazon Prime.
An unbelievable story, my hero as a kid, and still a hero now, he went through hell, recovered and got his happy ending. What a legend ❤
Rip to the bad guy 4life
Much respect to Kevin Nash. I've NEVER heard Kev dump on Scott a single time. A righteous, solid friend to Scott to and through the end. Respect.
Interestingly enough, Scotts Brother Steve Hall is now our elected Sheriff of St.Marys county MD.
Almost 9k views n only a couple hundred "Likes"? C'mon yall. You know this is a very well put together video n deserves your "Like"...
Thanks mate I worked hard on this one
Content is good but the editing needs work
Hey yo, Isn't it ironic. That when a man finally gets sober and tries to repent for his sins he's stricken down. However you look at it he was the coolest guy to ever walk the aisle 🤘.
That wasn't murder it was self defense.
This story really made me cry when I saw him back in the days as razor Ramon I don’t know is as if I got the love for wrestling back that minute that I saw him in the ring when he first came the matches, the gimmicks that he did the way he was in the ring. Wow he was and is amazing rip❤😢
Imagine seeing a couple schlubs pick a fight with a young Dan Spivey and Scott Hall with special guest enforcer Tonga Kid.
Neither cited ptsd definitions mention that ptsd is often emotions that come back to the person suffering with it through being triggered by events around them, the emotional trauma comes back heavily but not always the events. In fact it's mostly just the trigger and then the emotion that the ptsd makes you relive. Source: I'm diagnosed ptsd.
Thank you for your input. Appreciate it
I remember seeing Hall first in AWA . And when I saw him as Diamond Studd , I didnt even realize it was him ! No mustache , slicked back black hair , It was probably me watching him for a month or so on the various shows they had before it clicked. Hey , thats Scott Hall ! But there was no internet back then ya know . And by the time you read something in a wrestling mag it had already been at least 2 or 3 months since it happened lol !
Gavin says : this is a bit like the late great Hawk of the Road warriors as in even though he got help from his friends he got help way to late because he didn't understand what condition he was in!!
Nice tribute. It’s sad to me that we won’t get any more promos or shoot interviews of the bad guy
This is a wonderful documentary. Tears are streaming down my face.
Lol okay buddy
@@asicsjohnson bro you’re named after like the 6th most popular sneaker company, you should know what it’s like to have tears streaming down your face with a name like that.
To be clear I love asics, but they’re a Japanese sneaker company not a name lolZ
@@asicsjohnson what's wrong with you?
Interesting how everyone that said The Ultimate Warrior "held up" McMahon, would "hold up" McMahon themselves.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true.
Bad times don't last, but bad guys do!
Can you imagine being the same size as Scott Hall was in his prime? Dude was massive and at 5'10" 165lbs I would have looked like a child compared to this behemoth
I used to be in love with Razor Ramon when I was a teenager in the 90s.
A real legend and such a shame what happened
Loved the sudden ending mid senten...
I really love the shoots he would do. Interviews laying the truth out there. If wrestling hadn't changed where's kayfabe stayed strong but it didn't and as Bobby Heenan said many times, once they took out kayfabe everyone knows the tricks, wrestling became a shadow it was. So I loved Scott Hall sharing all the stories of how things went down. Especially during the 83 weeks of wrestling wars. It's sad a lot of the legends are no longer with us. I think dominating wrestling takes a lot out of you. Mentally, and especially physically.
I had 5 of them stuffed in my Z28, back in RI in '92 - Scott was one of the nicest wrestlers that I ever met.
Grew up in the early and mid 2000s watching wrestling , but for some reason am extremely drawn to Scott and Kevin nash , they really were just born for the business and they’re personalities are just magnetic . I’m a 22 year old kid but for some reason am able to identify with these two characters easily
Dude your voice is awesome. Idk what it is about it.
That is very kind!
I never watched him when he was still WWF Razor, I starting watching pro wrestling mid ti late 1998. Even though he was not around very much when I watched, he was still always my favorite for some reason lol
By then he was a train wreck around 1998 was arrested Louisiana for assault and battery drug charges was personal problems went through a divorce and shit alcohol 🍺 related problems the pills 💊 in early 1996 before going to WCW he was suspended from wwf for refusing to take a drug test
Bro Scott Hall In his beginnings was so got damn huge !!!
12:48 best picture in the whole video!
Those demons never go away, it a horrible life
„… and began to sport one of the most dangerous looking moustaches…” 😂
Am I wrong 🤣
@@WrestlePod Absolutely not. I just forgot he was once equipped with one of the deadliest weapons in wrestling history 😂
This made me tear up a lil bit. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time man 💔
I don’t think Vince gave these guys work life balance between the 80”s through 2000”s .. never being able to form a solid foundation with loved ones ..over worked , drugs to deal with ring pain , always away from family .. it we’ll eventually take its toll
I completely agree, work life balance is the key 🔑
At least he didn't die with a bottle in one hand and pills in the other.
R.I.P. Scott Hall😥
That razor Ramon character was great
wow... nicely done
The Kliq were the 1st group of wrestlers to come out celebrating with the fans, but Vince and the other guys were hating. Nowadays more people in the WWE are doing the exact thing what the Kilq did back in year 1996.
Trend setters
Scott hall is one of my favs along with Kane, Goldberg, and Taker
Scott had that grizzled stubble that hollywood hogan could only dream about everytime he sat in front of a mirror with a sharpie....
@56:51, he wasn't on cocaine or any drugs like that when he came into the arena, Scott Hall was just released from the hospital and was suffering from the drugs that they put him on.
Great story telling.
Thanks for listening
Hacksaw Jim Duggan 🤣 I knew that dude had to be on something all those years 😂
Learning compartmentalization will help you a lot in life
Nice vids bud, but I think your editing needs a bit of work, it's little rough at times 👍
Fair point
After the 373rd iteration of "Hey yo", this thing got ridiculous!
There is a big difference in self defense and murder. C'mon man
That black and white pic of him and Curt will live in ky nightmares.
i love scott hall this was a tragic fight were it was either scott or the other guy wish scott had gotten the help he needed rip scott you will be missed
Kind of reminds me of the Brian Bosworth documentary from ESPN Brian and the boz !
But why does it feel like this documentary is chopped up and re-edited only but slightly ?
Is that to avoid a copyright issue from whoever originally made this or something like that ?
R.I.P. Scott Hall 🕊
