Scott Hall pending R.I.P thread
- Thread starter SC_408
- Start date
I know he's been in and out, but do you know the longest he's been in for one stint? I can't find the info right now.
Either way, like I said... he may just be too far gone, and obviously doesn't care. Sadder still that indy promotions will continue to pay him a few bucks for a quick gig no matter what.

Couldn't they have had him admitted to a detox or rehab if he were under the influence? He wouldn't have been able to give consent in the state he was in. Then again, he probably would've just left when he'd sobered up and been right back at it. Being on meds is even more of a reason NOT to wrestle.
^^bound to happen
definitely on some type of pain killers. my cousin one time was poppin soma after soma and drank some beers and he was acting exactly like hall in this video. talking and walking exactly the same way. except he was just tyring to have some fun. hall is obviously on some deep depression type shit
i always dug razor ramon as a kid but i cant stand the shoot interviews with him and nash shitting on everyone and thinking they have the business all figured out. their overblown egos were part of the reason wcw tanked but theyll never admit it

STATEMENT FROM TRP OWNER STEVE RICARD RE: Scott Hall
"Top Rope Promotions has been holding family oriented wrestling shows for 30 years now, and on our 30th Anniversary event, we brought in one of the biggest names in pro wrestling, Scott Hall (aka Razor Ramon).
We drew a packed house and a good majority of them were there to see Hall. Hall and his people down in FL had all claimed he was clean and good to go. His flight and hotel were pre paid, and his appearance fee was demanded upon arrival at the airport (which he asked for within 3 min of being picked up).
Hall had arrived in a wheel chair with 3 bottles of prescription pills in his posession. Hall had performed an interview with our local newspaper The Herald News around 6 PM on Thursday night, saying how much he was looking forward to coming to the show, and how he was clean. Less then 24 hrs later, he showed up in the state he was in, demanding his appearance fee. Right off the bat, we were in a bad situation.
Having Hall at the building, already pre paid with his appearance fee, hotel, flight, etc. He even harassed my driver in the process. Hall was persistent to appear on the show. His heart was in the right place, unfortunately I can't say the same about his mind or his body.
Throughout the night he made threats to numerous members of my staff, as well as myself demanding more money, demanding to go to the ring when he wanted to etc. He was also threatening to kill me if I "screwed" him over. I'm 31 years old and I should be in no circumstances, babysitting someone in there 50's.
Hall made at best, an embarrassing performance in the ring and for the fans who came to see him, trashing matches that were on the show before him and addressing the crowd as if we were in England.
Neither Hall, nor anyone who helped line up the date, or any of his close friends or agents have called to apologize or offer a refund for his "less then stellar" appearance. He showed his true colors and who he was this past Friday night. If he's upset that we're airing a stream of this atrocious appearance, maybe he should issue an apology to the fans, the promotion, and the workers of the company. One would only assume that no one that night got what they paid for, myself included."

I think they need to air his shit out. If he dosent try to get better for himself maybe he'll try to get better for his money. If he dosent do something ASAP he wont be getting anymore appearance fees anywhere and wont have a friend in the bizz that can help him out.
I hope dude gets his shit together but in reality I can see him on celebrity rehab for a season then on TMZ when hes found dead in a motel room.

What people need to do with these wrestlers is STOP GIVING THEM RESPECT THEY DON'T DESERVE. Every dickhead in the locker room probably treated him like royalty because of the "respect" he earned 20 years ago.
If I'm in the back, and I have a job to do, and I'm fucking sober enough to at least walk myself to the fucking ring and I have someone ask me to cart this floppy asshole to the ring I'd spit at them. Let him carry his own stupid fucking ass to the ring next time and if he doesn't make it, maybe that'll inspire his drunk ass to eat 10 less pills before the next one..
This guy is a fucking disgrace and people shouldn't even be paying to book his broke ass.

I think he's beyond help at this point. Even hardcore addicts with any kind of brain cells left sometimes seek treatment once they've come to the realization that they've fucked their life up, but there's still a glimmer of hope. Sadly, this is not the case for Scott Hall. He did it to himself, as most addicts do.
