- 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 could listen to hall all day.
For real, such a down to earth dude. Which you wouldn't expect given his ring personas & past, so glad he was able to get it back together before he passed. RIP Bad Guy!
This shoot is before the Sting vs. Triple H WrestleMania when both DX & NWO came out to save each others guy? It must have been before that because that was a great angle/spots for WM
Rip 🙏 Razor!!! He was the best!!!
Hall was truly one of the smartest people in Wrestling.
God are you a glass hole. Scott Hall was an illiterate, dead drunk, no talent bum.
Yea. He didn't get respect because of his past...
@@robzilla730 it was not just his past, he was always somehow causing issues backstage.
@@watersandblue6001 I heard Taker kept everyone in check backstage...
That would be jim cornette. Hall was good at taking directions
What a smart, likable, insightful guy. Damn, I could listen to Scott Hall tell stories all day. Legend.
Hulk joining the nWo in 96 was the greatest heal turn in the history of wrestling.
There is a case for Zsbysko turning on Sammartino, but it was a whole different scale then.
Think Stone Cold Selling out to Vince McMahon hit waaaay harder.
@@themindofmwill24 Yeah, the only that hit harder was the loss in ratings and viewership 😂😂😂
Cmon man that weak Austin heel turn was one of the BIGGEST blunders in wrestling history!
@@dirkdiggler6135 knock it off. First off nobody in WCW was hotter than Stone Cold. Goldberg is horrible that can only go 5 mins. tone cold change the wrestling word. I don't know how much of a fan u are I been watching this since I was 2 years old 1988. Every week we look forward to seeing stone attack Vince and then he side with him. I believe your wrestling knowledge is not there. Oh by the way even with that heel turn they killed WCW in ratings .
The greatest heel turn in the history of wrestling was Sid Vicious. Surely the most painful of all.
That Stevie Ray story never gets old..
Always thought Scott was the total package as a wrestler. He had everything.
Whereas "The Total Package" Lex Luger was just a mediocre bodybuilder! It's true, Hall had it all
Scott Hall had the best in ring skills and mic 🎤 skills as well, and was never mad to put another wrestler over!!! If he didn't battle demons he would have been the best!!!
Scott Hall always gives credit where credit is due and made so many careers.
Scott Hall walking through the crowd in WCW was the most game changing thing ever in wrestling!!! His promo was by far the best, and Rip 🙏 Razor!!!
Nice to hear Hall throwing flowers to Zbysko. Two legends of the sport.
Scott Hall had the most unique and special intellect for the business, RIP THE BAD GUY
One more for the good guys RIPScott
Guys I went to school with said they randomly walked up to him at a bar. Claimed nobody but the bartender was approaching him. Sitting down there at the end by the waitress station by himself they approached, asked for any autograph. Apparently, to my own personal surprise he was really nice and invited them to sit with him. RIP. Scott.
Huh ?
If you learn English and learn how to write much better, your comment would make a lot more sense.
@@mikedonovan-3808 I feel the same way. You should visit my brain sometime.
@@mikedonovan-3808 schoolmates of OP ran into Scott at a bar. They asked for an autograph, and he asked yhem to sit down and drink with him.
@@squiddwizzard8850 I know what he was saying.
But you are very late to the party.
Dude clearly re-wrote his comment so it flows much better and makes more sense now.
@@squiddwizzard8850 I didn't like my own comment, so then obviously someone else saw and read how badly written his comment was before he fixed it.
Damn man I wish we could have got that DX and NWO feud...
*The Horsemen parody was absolutely genius. I laughed like crazy, when they went LIVE with it.*
Fun Fact sting was originally approached to be the third man before Hogan
Everyone knows Mabel was the third man
@@doctormalleycat 😆😆
Sting was going to be the 3rd guy right up until the day of the event if I remember correctly. Hogan's agent was completely against the heel turn, but Hogan was being boo'd at some of the venues, so he ignored the agent and decided it was time to do it.
@@doctormalleycatand 4th and 5th
Man this is some of the best. You are missed, Bad Guy.
#RIPScottHall
"You know who I am... But you don't know why I'm here."
The wrestling world would never be the same.
Towards the end there, I like that idea, ...with Kid as the wild card, DX vs nWo....that would have done some serious business if done right........
Man I miss Scott so much... Had a chance to talk to him in call as a "We Can Rebuild Him" campain backer... Bawled my eyes out 2 years ago, when the news hit me.
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
Damn i miss Scott
I'm thinking the same thing watching these shoots
What an unbelievable understanding of rasslin.
Hulk did a house show in Chicago back in 97 against Luger (I was there). Must have been because it was Chicago.
Best personality in wrestling, Scott Hall did wrestling just the way I like it: comical.
Every time wrestlers are in the ring and the crowd is going wild, and the finally settle down, I still want to hear the first words out of the wrestlers mouth to be "Hey, Yo".
8:50 Vince McMahon screwed up your money back in the 90s and year 2002 at WrestleMania 18, Scott Hall. Am very sorry to hear this. Missing you, Scott Hall
Only active wrestler in DX. Rick Rude was in both too 😉
Michaels, Waltman & Rude were in both NWO & DX. But tbf Waltman was in prime NWO & then prime DX the real groups lol.
I really thought that Shawn Michaels would have jumped to WCW & later on be a legit member of the NWO after he lost the WWE/WWF title at Wtestmania 14 to Steve Austin like in the summer of 1998
If Shawn had had his way he would have jumped in 97
Shawn could only feature himself. Dropping the belt to Austin was something he didn't actually want to do. DX wasn't a bad gimmick but it pales in comparison to the NWO because it relied on obscene gestures and comments to get a crowd pop. Pretty corny overall.
@@bigj6143 And to this day as far as I'm aware of Shawn still claims Taker was never sat at gorilla before and during Shawn's match at WM14
@@plonkersbroThat Would’ve Been The Death Of WWE. DX Copying The NWO Was What People Talked About In Late 97.
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.
Hall puking on bischoff was awesome
Scott Kurt and rude the 3 smartest guys in wrestling
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
Hulk was getting booed in WCW prior to the NWO, as well as WWF on his way out.
Outsiders do not get their due when best tag teams are talked about. Nobody has put more asses in seats because people wanted to see them lose or loved them.
I think it's because that team gets overshadowed by the nWo
I thought stevie was gonna kill Scott on live tv. 👋🤣
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.
Maybe, but the nwo Merch, especially the shirt is still an all time top selling item from WWE
Man..I miss the days of Razor/Hall…and I miss Razor/Hall. RIP Machismo.
Hogan knew that if he didn't do the NWO heel turn, then he was finished, proven later in WWE when he turned face & Hulk was over again after being Hollywood.
Hulk gets a lot of flack but he is business savvy
Huh ?
Proven later ?
WTF are you talking about?

Scott hall
It should've been bigger n better in 2002
Hey yo
I love Scott hall and Kevin Nash but that would only have worked “a little bit” for a little while
Hogan turning heel is the only reason the Monday night wars happened
One of the biggest travesties in wrestling was Scott hall not having at least one world title run in each company. A shame he was only mid card. My goodness if John Moxley can be world champ then Scott hall can certainly be world champ
There was no heat between Austin and Hall. The creative never made sense back in the day (and ironically, it led to both men leaving). I was one of many that stopped watching regularly in 2002, because of the awful segments they were doing with great talent.
And they lost most of us for years and years after that.
Lost some for good ........... like ME.

Agree
Nash in not so many words adnitted austin debunked doing the job to anyone in the nwo including nash who is one of his best friends. Nash ad itted much like hall they didnt blame steve because if you look at it they came from place that almost put them put of business. 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.
Austin is apologizing hateful scumbag. Also a spouse beater.
Stone Cold Mark Austin is the vibe I got back in 2002.
RIP bad guy
Hulk had to repackage himself the yellow n red was burning out ran its course.. Also Scott Solded one of the Best Stone Cold Stunners i have Ever Seen..
That stunner sell was iconic 😂
Scott said also that Stone Cold and Vince changed the outcome in last minute. Which just shows what two assholes Stone Cold and Vince is. Scott should'nt have to sell anything. He should have put both Stone Cold and Vince on Razors Edge, and let the NWO storyline grow.
Solded
@@bigjimmy4137 yep sold it!
@@bigjimmy4137selded
RIP Scott Hall
This guy starting the NWO in heaven…
Vince wasnt all businesses in the end. His ego was #1
Scott hall started and is the NWQ
Stone cold wasn't jobbing at wrestlemania. If Scott heard that, he should have known it was bogus.
A pro wrestling savant
Then they could have teamed together as heels to form the Kliq for real lol
Y’all hear how Hulk said he was going to be the original triple H, Hollywood Hulk Hogan if he were to turn around after his match with warrior and attacked him?
What does that have to do with this video?
@@CatsClaw44 because apparently hogan came up with the Hollywood theme behold the NWO

😂😂 I just thought about it. If Vince McMahon and Eric Bishoff could of put there pride aside and just for one night had s PPV. WWE vs WCW in 1999. I wonder what wrestling would be today? That PPV smh
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.
aaaaaaay Yo !
I felt like the nWo was supposed to have a lot of guys. they werent supposed to be a stable. it was a “civil war” in a sense.
Horsemen should of got a payoff instead of getting their ass whooped again
Wcw fans never cared about Hogan except when he first came in and then the nwo
Dude would’ve been amazing as a booker
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
Kinda strange he acted hesident to come back to WWe but had no problem going to that dumpster fire at TNA
Austin was a wuss at this time. No respect for Elder Statesman of WWF who were huge at elevating WCW in a Big Way.
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.
People can say what they want about Hogan but he knew how to do business and how to work the crowd. It didn’t matter what side he was working he was the ultimate baby face and the biggest heal.
When Hulks n word controversy came out he should have came back as a racist and fueded with New Day that was their peak time. He could have had an iconic 3rd run "I didn't know you could buy front row seats with EBT brother"
@@chalkbodyoutline that’s exactly what Vince would’ve done in the 90’s but everything is too PC now and everyone’s a pussy and afraid to offend somebody. But that would’ve been funny.
No Hulk Hogan, NWO would have lasted one month.
