This interview surprised me with how positive and grateful Scott was. I don't know why but I expected him to have some of Nash's disdain and mild contempt for the business and audience, but no, Scott Hall was genuinely just cool and liked pro wrestling. He was great, RIP.
What is so different with Scott vs other wrestlers that tell stories, is that Scott hardly ever takes credit for something. He always gives props to whom he learned it from, who taught him, or how he took something and made it his own while still giving credit. It’s so refreshing to hear someone who was in the industry and yet was so humble to put over everyone that helped him get what he had. So sad we lost him and all the stories he hadn’t yet told. RIP.
He wrongfully takes credit for coming up with the Crow Gimmick for Sting, when it was actually Andre Freitas (from AFX Digital, who created pretty much all outfits, entrances (like Glacier), produced some of the videos and came up with quite a few gimmicks) who presented the idea to begin with and then designed the outfit
Respect Scott Hall for persevering through hard times to get his shot and then to make the most of it..unforgettable memories of high quality matches and just how cool he was
every time I watch a new dark side of the ring episode my first thought is “this would’ve been so much better if Scott Hall was still alive to tell his side of the story” his post career contributions to the industry are sorely missed.
If i could be buddies with 1 wrestler, like work together, hang out all the time, genuinely enjoy their company, bring them around my other friends and family....i think Scott is number 1 on this list.
I remember when this shoot came out, it was a roll of the dice as to which version of Hall we'd get. Was very pleased to see him well rested and with so much clarity. An all time classic performer and interview.
I could listen to Scott Hall talk business forever he has such a genius mind for it. Even early in his career asking to go to Kansas City was so forward thinking for someone so green in the business
Scott might be the ONLY guy who ever pitched his own gimmick to Vince. Everyone else always says they go in and have to work his idea. Not Scott. Legend. RIP to the bad guy. This is a 17 year old interview 🤯 fucking time don’t stop for no one. Live your life without regrets.
The more "real" interviews I see of Scott the more impressed I get. Always liked his character but never thought he'd was so damn down to earth and actual "REAL". What a cool cat and what a shame how kit ended after he fixed himself. RIP YO!
Scott is one of the Best storyteller's when it comes to the history of his career.. He learned from some of the Best.. Great Interview! R.I.P Scott Hall "Razor Ramon aka The Bad Guy"
Thank you so much for this. I remember buying it off RF website. One of the best shoots ever from one of the coolest wrestling Legends. Heartfelt interview breaks my heart when he talks about the benoit family tragedy. RIP BAD GUY
Thank you for uploading this, it's been years since I've seen it and watched it all the way through and tried to really appreciate it as a time capsule. I'm a big Scott Hall fan (or should I say mark, in honour of the bad guy) and was heart warming especially at the end. Seeing that raw emotive reaction to Chris Benoit. Also hearing him say he doesn't want to rip the fans off. I appreciate it's part of the business to pay but the way he approaches it as interaction being more important than the finance was too sweet
Scott was so cool because coming out with hogan, nash, bischoff, macho in the nitro days, he arguably could have been the top guy but instead chose to surf walk out and make himself "smaller." When he didn't have to. It's almost like as if Austin in 96/97, instead of chasing world title, decided to join dx or something. It's like shawn would've been the guy that the company wanted, but everyone would've secretly been watching austin in the background. I know it's not exactly that situation but it kind of is. Hall was like Brad Pitt in ocean's 11. Like, the movie clearly has george Clooney as the main character, but everyone's secretly looking at someone else more
It is so sad he did not take better care of himself. Can you imagine how big of a Podcast Hall would have had. He can just tell stories. Life takes no prisoners. I told story he worked out at same gym I did. I was like 17 years old, and this was a gritty gym of monsters. I was a monster in the making. Scott would come in and be honest he was quite, I never new he was a story teller like this. He talked to me as a young man and just another guy at the gym. I was pretty strong for a 17 year old with like 295 or 315 pounds on the bench. It was still near my max and he spotted me when I asked him He was like no problem and racked it for me. I knew about his incident with the shooting and my brother who was a badass at the time told me he thought he never got over it. Side note, my brother could be a jerk and only 215 lbs, but had huge 20” arms and known as a fighter. There are just nasty people who people are scared of and he was one of them. No doubt Scott knew who he was and never wanted beef with him and that might have been why he was so cool with me. Boy Orlando back in the day with Rosie O Gardy’s saloon in downtown Orlando had epic bar fights and my brother was known as a bull. Someone have to write a book about those days. It was crazy times.
R.I.P. Scott Hall 🙏...nWo 4-Life brother 👍... such an incredible talent..one of my all-time favorite wrestlers.I always enjoy listening to stories about the business.... Scott Hall,🙏 Andre the Giant 🙏 and Harley Race 🙏... iconic... thank you Scott 👍
Scott Hall really had a great insight into the business. He understood things really well. He was a very good performer. He could wrestle, talk, sell, and work the crowd.
Amazing interview. Excellent pace and questions with deeply insightful responses on both sides. Learned a lot in the 1st half and even more. Scott is, in my opinion, the most creative, clever and the ability to be personable and a leader. 👌
He spotted me at the gym on the bench press. He was everything you think he was. I asked him to spot me on bench and he did not hesitate and spotted me and sat down and talked to me as a young man. No cussing, just told me about his bout with Terry Funk Jr. Then kept spotting me for each set. My perspective, a great guy. One of the first time I was treated as an equal, not a dum teenager.
It’s great to listen to Scott talk about his time in wrestling. He was always one of my favorites, it’s a shame when I hear stories from guys like Scott talk about the “territory days”, how they broke in the business, how tough the times were but also how fun and great the experience was. The traveling, wrestling with stars before they were even big names and just getting that experience under their belts, the road stories. It’s a shame that people can’t have the same experiences in today’s time with the wrestling business. McMahon just flat out killed the wrestling territories. It’ll never be like it was in the 70s-80s for anyone trying to break into wrestling. It’s just a shame. RIP Scott Hall
this is the most comprehensive workshop/crash course on how professional wrestling actually works > incredibly insightful (RIP big scott hall / diamond studd / razor ramon / nwo’s scott hall)
RIP Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon...Razor's one of those guys who's very unique and had a different taste to the sport and brought a different angle to entertainment. His character was very fond to watch and was a very memorable character and will be missed from the sport and by fans.
@@nickl6715 funny you mention wrestling history… I also am just getting into it… but I STILL have no interest in the ACTUAL wrestling. Weird… never thought I’d be MORE interested in the history of a form of entertainment than I am in the actual entertainment.
I really wish he didn’t have the personal challenges that hurt his career; he would have been one hell of a booker. Respect for tradition, knew the old school and a part of the modern era, humble, willing to put others over for the right reasons. He would have been a great part of Creative with Triple H.
Scott Hall I always absolutely 💯 loved him. Amazing worker, amazing interview, amazing promo, amazing shoot, amazing vinettes, amazing friend, amazing recovery story. Should’ve been a world 🌎 Champion in WWF should’ve beat Bret Hart in 1994/5 and def should’ve been WCW champion in 1999/2000 and probably in 1998 too. The Bad guy was the fucken best RIP 🪦 💔 ❤️🩹
Scott is always one of my favorite guys to watch do these. Great storyteller and really passionate. I love when he talks about the small details guys like Hennig taught him. When he came back to TNA during the Hogan era, I was so stoked to see him back and such a big fan that I started doing the surf walk at school when I’d walk into class to make my friends laugh. They didn’t get the reference but it was a good time. Scott is a good example of even bad things can happen to, and get ahold of good dudes. Seems like a lot of people don’t know but he relapsed before he did and was drinking again. It’s not a knock, I’ve had trouble with alcohol abuse myself. Moral is, take care of yourself and if you need to talk, reach out to someone. RIP to the Bad Guy 🤘
@@ninowaves4061 for me, I felt it before, but Stevie Richards talking about Foley proved it He played the "nice, average guy" role well enough and long enough to get people to feel sorry enough for him that they put the belt on him, so I guess it worked
Excellent interview with an excellent man Nice to hear his side of all the stories I believe what he says And I agree with a lot of his opinions also Rest in peace Mr Hall
So sad that poor Scott left this world so young. Seemed like a really nice guy that was a great wrestler and more importantly he had a lot of charisma. Freaking shame that he had a hard time dealing with his demons that affected his mental and physical health. May he RIP…
Sounds like Scott's issues were alcoholism induced by burn-out. Fucking shame we lost him, he sounds like a freaking gold mine of wrestling knowledge. Would have been great to see him teach younger talents in NXT.
RIP to the late-great Scott Hall 🙏

The best storyteller in the business talking about the most interesting era in the business. Awesome

Also hearing him say he doesn't want to rip the fans off. I appreciate it's part of the business to pay but the way he approaches it as interaction being more important than the finance was too sweet
It was unreal to see him break down at being asked about the Benoit tragedy.
Such a Talented Guy. Rest in Peace Scott Hall🙏
So we all agree how under ratedly amazing this guy was right ?
He's a great interview. Authentic and entertaining. I don't have any options on his wrestling but this is a great watch
2:35:20 heart wrenching response, Scott had a big heart
Heartbreaking, Scott was a good guy deep down its such a shame he couldn’t overcome his demons his mind for the business was amazing
It's crazy iv seen this shoot many times but for some reason never seen thst part. Really sad
Great storyteller with a lot of passion for the business. RIP Scott
I love Scott Hall & Kevin Nash I wish I could have drank some beer with those guy's and talking wrestling RIP Scott NWO FOR LIFE JUST 2 SWEET 🍻
The Outsiders 😎
That last run in WWE was so good, I was such a fan I was so disappointed it ended so fast.
The last five minutes of this interview, man...😢
4- Life! Miss you Bad Guy. This “world” needs more like you 🤘
Even in our republic, where me and my son come from, the state almost untouched by wrestling, we love Scott Hall´s legacy. Humble, very nice man!
I wasn’t prepared for this 😮
You know for someone with a reputations n of substance abuse, Hall was sharp as HELL in this. Razor indeed!
Scott Hall is dead, but not really gone. Scott will never be forgotten

The best IC champ in my opinion.
Rip to the bad guy.. AYO
Always wished wcw would have put the big belt on him at least once… even if short.
The Free birds story was legendary
Miss the "Bad guy"...
