#WWE #ScottHall #RazorRamon
He died on a Monday. It was poetic. RIP Scott Hall. A legend in the Monday night wars.
@cB Cb He died on a Monday..... Try thinking. Monday night wars
Also he was alive 4hrs after being off life support. Dramatic kickout. Before the end.
Not only the Monday shows, but all the fun those guys had at the hotel on Monday nights. RIP Bad Guy
@cB Cb for reals lol jesus
Didn't appreciate his work until I got older and he became one of my favorites. Haven't got emotional over a wrestler death like this since Eddie. RIP Scott Hall, you will be missed.
Same. It's been a while since one hit me like this and I didn't grow up on him, I saw him afterwards watching stuff back.
R.I.P Scott Hall
Thank you DDP for giving him 10 more years of life.
Sorry to inform you but he was drinking again. Waltman did a interview and said Covid isolation did him in and he was drinking again. He fell down at home and was on the floor for days. DDP did a wellness check and found him. Sad. People think he was still sober. I wish it was true.
@@MURD3RWAVE but before he started to drink again, like the other said DDP helped prolong his life until last monday.
@@MURD3RWAVE who cares. you can drink yourself to death in a year, as someone who struggles with alcohol and who is young, 10 years is a lot.
@@illestlyrics sorry about your struggles. I hope you can do what you need to do. I myself know how hard it is. One day at a time. Good luck and God bless.
I loved what he told to Kevin Nash before he passed away,
"Nobody's perfect. The only perfect person was nailed to a cross."
Scott Hall without a doubt will be forever known as one of the Greatest Superstars in history. He might not have held a World Title, but he has made a legacy that will never be forgotten.
Rest In Peace Scott Hall. Put in a good word for all of us above in Heaven. ✝️🙏
I'm 43 years old and I started watching Scott Hall when I was 7 years old with my grandmother she got me into wrestling this hurts me so bad because I was a big fan of him no matter where he was at those two they work I love when he did his intros hey yo will always be legendary like he was one of the top five wrestling deaths that struck me the first one was The Ultimate Warrior
At least he went out later rather than sooner, thanks to DDP.
While he is no longer with us, we will always remember him for who he was. The Bad Guy.
this passing definitely sucked
but i think something that helps me think more positively is...I remember the ESPN documentary of Scott Hall in 2011. He was so defeated and an absolute shell of the man he used to be.
but he found redemption. He got into the Hall, and he was involved with helping out some of the next talent with NXT. At least in the last few years of his life, he was able to still give back to those following in his steps
Bad times don’t last but bad guys do. And Hall’s legacy will last forever.
A very sad passing in the wrestling world. We love you Scott, stay cool bad guy.
it's still incredible Scott Hall made it to age 63 after everything he was put through
I'll miss you Scott, You'll always be The Bad Guy and you'll never be forgotten. RIP Mr. Hall, I love ya like a brother, even though I never met you.
Really gotta give props to DDP for helping Scott and Jake
DDP is a real life angel
My mom looooooved Razor Ramon. She knew a guy who worked at MSG and we managed to get his autograph on a gold foil Razor Ramon trading card. She was devastated to hear of Scott's passing. He was a big part of my childhood. He made it cool to be The Bad Guy.
I'm glad you mentioned the match with Razor vs. Rick Martel for the IC title. One of my fav underrated matches in WWF and why I think Martel deserved at least 1 run with singles gold.
Glad, you brought that up. Also think that Rick Martel was more than a "solid Worker". Team with Tito was amazing. Think his Model-Gimmick doesn't do a lot of favors for him. With a better one, I think he had easily at least one run with the IC Title.
I like the match, Razor vs Martel, i knew it might be Razor to be IC champion. He is super over
Scott was an icon of my childhood. One of the coolest guys ever. Thank you for another wonderful tribute Jason. Phenomenal work. God bless his family and his soul
I was at that house show in MSG June 1993. Razor got one of the Loudest Pops I ever heard in a House Show ! RIP Scott 👏☝
Very cool
In WWF, he was so cool. In WCW, he was too sweet. RIP
I first got into WWF when I was a kid going to my cousin's house down the block. He had cable, I didn't. I saw Razor Ramon, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown, Vader, the IRS Man, the Undertaker, etc. Man, the memories. And then there was a period of no wrestling and then years later, the Attitude Era.
As I told Jason on Twitter, my Dad passed away almost the same way. Complications from dialysis and a clogged artery in his heart, we removed him from life support. I remember the day Hall walked into the WCW ring. I too was channel switching and I say there wondering "He's on Nitro???" I was hooked. RIP to the Bad Guy.
Thank you for sharing. My condolences on losing your dad.
R.I.P Scott Hall you will be missed
RIP Scott Hall. We Love you and miss you!
I was so devastated. He was the best member of The Klique and it really sucks he's gone. I hope he's at peace.
He was a favorite among my family members who watched a lot of wrestling, especially for my father who was in a massive transitional period in the 1990s and enjoying watching wrestling in that decade the most
This a very emotional sound byte and it hits the heart hard, just like Solomonster's Daffney episode.
Rest in peace Scott Hall, one of my childhood heroes 😢 I really cried watching this video.
It's sad that we've lost one of the most charismatic guys in wrestling in the last 20 years. Despite that i didn't grew up as much with WWF and WCW back then i used to watch a few VHS, that was my introduction to Razor Ramon and what a worker he was.
I'll always remember his TNA runs and his run here in Puerto Rico with I.W.A when he went one on one with Ricky Banderas "Mil Muertes", the man had tons of charisma not to mention how good he was at making his opponent look good even in defeat.
R.I.P to one of the best guys that never got a world title in WWE and WCW and one of the greatest IC champions of all time.
RIP Scott hall you will be missed I meet him twice in my life
I just did a quick search and can confirm what Solomonster says about the Razor's Edge actually getting kicked out of. The match with Crush happened on the June 6, 1993 episode of All American Wrestling and at least with the match, they protected that kickout by having Razor take his time with pinning Crush to give Crush time to recover from taking the move.
Razor is definitely my favorite IC champ. Jericho gets a lot of love. But in Jericho's early IC reign, there was so much hot potato in 2000/1 with Jericho/Benoit/Angle/Rikishi/Eddie/Billy Gunn/Val Venus, et al.
This one hurt. So many memories. In the end, I am so glad his long struggle is over and I hope he has finally found some peace. Thank you Scott.
Scott hall, Sabu, Ric Flair, the big boss man, Bobby eaton, Bret hart, and Jerry Lawler had the best working punches in wrestling history
Sabu had great working punches.
When ESPN dropped that E60 special in either 2012 or 13, I will not lie, I thought it would be any moment when we got the bad news. So I’m happy that within the last 10 years Scott got his life back together. Props to Dallas for helping Scott and Jake.
Great review Solomonster. Hard to believe both Razor Ramons are deceased, yet it's a part of life.
One of the best to ever do it. Scott didn't need a world title to validate his success, he needed a good paycheck for it and he got exactly that. His influence will be felt for years to come, both as the great performer he was and as a cautionary tale for young wrestlers. RIP chico.
The way he sold the Stunner... God dang it was crisp and just perfect
Rest In Peace Scott Hall
Born: October 20, 1958, St. Mary's County, MD
Died: March 14, 2022, Marietta, GA
DDP and Jake Roberts help him and Hall manage to live almost a decade relatively clean... RIP Bad Guy you will be miss
Very good video Solomonster. A couple of things I disagree with you on but it’s just splitting hairs. As far as an in ring worker I think Scott was a better in ring worker than Hogan, Sting and Goldberg. Was he as over as they were? That’s a very interesting conversation to have and I don’t think it can be written off as most people think it would be. I know people can watch things on the network but it’s not the same thing as living through it as a fan. In 1995 in the first half of 1996 and I am a huge Sting fan btw , Sting and Hogan might’ve been over but they weren’t anywhere near as over as Scott and Kevin were when they came over. That changed everything. Now was Scott put in the position for the fans to mentally think of him as that guy? No but it wouldn’t have taken much to put him in that position. They did it with Goldberg and there was a time that HBK and Brett Hart weren’t in those positions. Scott just didn’t really care he knew he was over he didn’t need to be the world champion. For all the things the people that hate the clique said no one has ever said that Scott was continually lobbying to be a world champion. Scott had no problem doing jobs for anybody. I think if either company wanted to get behind Scott and push him as that number one guy going for the belt it would’ve been a lot easier than people think. HBK himself and said he got better because of working with Scott. Jim Cornett did a great video about Scott and actually broke it down on why he thinks Scott Hall was the best worker in the Kliq but Shawn the guy that had the best matches because in all reality other than ladder match Scott was never put in those matches like that. In the WWF he was one of the best intercontinental champions of his time and when he went to WCW he was mainly part of the most over Tag Team WCW had is 1/2 of the outsiders.
The discussion about who was the best wrestler to never hold the world title between Piper and Scott is also interesting because when you talk about who was the better worker I think Scott was a hell of a lot better of a worker than Piper. I’m not saying that pipe or socks or anything like that at all but Scott had a lot more diversity. As far as their skills on the mic I know people say that papers one of the best and he’s great on the mic but Scott’s right up there. The one thing that piper had over Scott that I don’t know how hard Scott could try he could never do this as well as Piper did and that was be a heat seeking heel. Piper was very easy to diss like as a heel so no matter who the baby face was that baby face was getting over a lot because the fans would hate him. Scott was really just too cool to hate that much. I mean the N.W.O. did a lot of heel things that if any other two wrestlers on the planet not named Scott hall and Kevin Nash would have done them they would’ve been hated but so many people cheered them on as they went and did those terrible things though because they made it look cool. These are just my opinions and I am perfectly OK with anyone disagreeing with me but I would ask that hey let’s have a cool discussion about it let’s have fun with it there’s no reason to call anyone names or call anyone stupid or anything like that. And Scott’s not the only wrestler in the business that I think had the tools in the talent that if the company got behind him he could’ve been a huge star there’s probably dozens of other guys like that.
Rest in peace Scott Hall, and thank you so much for all the memories and great matches and great moments you gave us.
Had circumstances been different, Scott Hall could have had a world title run. But like Lex Luger in 94 and 97, DDP in 97-98, it was just not his time.
He still had a very, very fine career.
I agree with the “never being better than the best” part. The crazy thing is now these days being the best doesn’t matter too much. We seen several Paper champions but back then the best got it more often than not.
Rest in paradise...BadGuy 💯🙏
My memory of Scott Hall goes back to 1986 when he was partnered with Curt Hennig losing the AwA tag team championship to Buddy Rose and Doug Summers. I wasn't watching wcw so I had no idea of the Diamond Studd, but I remember the first set of vignettes with Razor Ramon, my personal favorite is of him making a wish come true for some guy by a fountain. I do recall wondering whatever happened to Scott Hall and wondering why he hasn't shown up in the WWF yet, little did I realize he was already there and it wasn't until maybe '94 or '95 that I learned Razor is Hall.
Speaking of the testing Razor as a babyface, during the time Bret Hart was feuding with Lex Lugar after Wrestlemania 9, Razor would interfere in the finishes and be accidently knocked out by Luger. Once he came to he and Lugar would have a scuffle to which the fans clearly sided with Razor. Then at a house show both heels faced off with Razor as the defacto babyface. I think the 123 Kid angle hadn't happened yet so it was only a matter of time for a Razor Ramon face turn.
RIP Scott Hall
I was there Live for bash the beach it was fucking amazing! Everyone went 🥜!!
IMO, his biggest accomplishment is not his in ring work, though those were very good and can be called his greatest accomplishment by others., it's the fact that every wrestler to this very day in every or at least most promotions gets guaranteed contracts all because of him and Kevin Nash. That means every wrestler is assured a study paycheck in all promotions. With that money, they can take care of their families, put roofs over their heads, put food on the table, and put clothes on their backs. That is his greatest legacy.
But it is world championship material
My favorite wrestler of all time. The guy that for a short time made me watch wcw. He was a center piece that changed the wrestling business forever.
R.I.P Scott Hall.
Rip Scott Razor Roman Hall 1958-2022🙏🏾💔
Rest in peace to the bad guy but he's in a better place. This guy was a true example of you don't need to become a world champion to be a legend or a star in this wrestling business.
Lmfao I thought he was Cuban too. His tan was so dark I had no idea he was a white guy
I remember that episode he had in Massachusetts. It was even worse than Jeff Hardy in the ring w Sting.
Scott Hall you lived a rough life but the fact you got help and got better is a positive you matches with Shawn Michael's ladder matches were classic's and you form one of the best stables in wrestling the NWO RIP 🙏 💙

Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon is my childhood. One part of my childhood is gone
Scott’s punch was immaculate, don’t know how he did it
I think Owen and Razor should have been WWF champion in 94. Owen at Summerslam. Razor could've been the one who took it from him down the road later in the year. Since he dropped the Ic belt to Diesel with Shawn's inteference that summer.
Father of all, we pray to you for Scott Hall, and for all those whom we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Actually from my old Sting and Eric Bischoff said they both say even sting himself that Scott Hall was the one that suggested it to him. I don’t know if he actually use the words “crow” but he definitely said go darker maybe use some darker make up, told him to kind of rip off the undertaker and it sounded like a lot of what sting would do over the next few months would also be a lot of Scott’s idea. I’m just going off what both Sting and Eric Bishoff said. And actually for the record the first time Scott Hall said that what he said before was “I was never going to bring this up but sting when ahead and said it so I feel OK talking about it. I forget the interview were sting first said it it was over a decade ago it was one of his first shoot interviews though.
We'll miss you Scott.
Of my top 5 favorites ever there’s only one still left alive
Someone else I grew up watching.
I never respected Scott Hall as a real person, but I respected him as the Razor Ramon character. His best years were his 1st run in WWE. He could've been a world champion if he hadn't screwed himself with his alcoholic abuse, which makes him so unreliable. Scott Hall is one of the best mid-card wrestler, who never won a world title.
Cornette needs to keep his mouth shut sometimes. Remember when he said that it was “Shawn Michaels wrestling a ladder”?Hall really held up his end in both matches.
I remember Scott and Shawn talking about the WMX Ladder Match on some WWE Video. Once they were in the Match, they forgot that there was ONLY ONE Ladder. And how they don't give a sh.. throwing the Ladder around, use it as a weapon etc. Not thinking about what to do, if the Ladder gets broken. 😂 Scott says, at their SS95 Ladder Match, at least there were two...
Rip Scott 🙏
80 thousand dollars to get your hip sorted what a world
Rest easy, Bad Guy. And thanks for the memories. 🙏🏾
22:47 indeed it was
Hey yo rip Scott hall
They could put title on him in WWF I say mid 94, and in WCW sometime in 98. Right before they put title on Goldberge.
good video
The way anybody these days wins the world title makes it sad that scott was never world champion for God sakes the guy from 3mb became world champion the Indian guy like come on now lol I miss the days when anybody couldn't be world champ
No, razor back in the 90's could have easily passed as a cuban. He was just gifted.
🤔 I thought Sunny was the one they spent the most money on with rehab
HEY YO!!!
Can we all really sit around and critique Scott hall for his vices? I really wish he was able to get the better of his demons and maybe he had flashes of beating it
Rehab is really expensive especially higher end ones so Its def possible he paid for the first six. R.I.P to the wrestler who mad wrestling cool. Hey Yo 🤘
He should have been inaugural TNA champ though
I hate when people take the piss outta the former generation of wrestling stars like Bret Hart. Name one opponent he hurt, or how much time he missed due to injury. Then argue his work rate, and understand why so many today can't hold a torch to the man.
I wouldn't say scott had no idea about the movie cuz he said what the movie was about
My childhood…
You could call the strikes from Vader punches but I don't if you can call them worked punches.
Something happen to this gold... something happen to you
I kinda disagree with you on when to put the WWF Title on Razor Ramon. I think the best time to do it could've been WM 11. If I were to fantasy book this, The Bad Guy loses the IC Title to Jeff Jarrett like irl. Then later on he comes out at #20 & he outlasts everyone in the match. In the end, he wins by last eliminating Shawn Michaels which sets up Razor vs. Diesel for the WWF Championship at WM 11 & long story short, they put on an entertaining main event match & in the end, The Bad Guy WINS the WWF Championship to a BIG POP from the crowd & ends the PPV with confetti falling all over ringside. He then goes to have a run as strong run as WWF Champion until SummerSlam where he loses to British Bulldog.
Ozzie machmiso
Shawn Michaels
Do you remember a crybaby match Razor Ramon vs 123 Kid?
And yet the McMahon family never take any responsibility for all the lives they destroyed they are sick and WWE needs to be put out of business because it’s an evil place I couldn’t no longer watch pro wrestling because of all the dark things that happened in the WWE
NWO isn’t the greatest story ever. It’s one of the most important. But not the greatest.
Edit: In my opinion and from what I’ve seen and heard, Scott was at least more charismatic than Bret. And if Nash got a run. Scott could’ve easily got 2.
Hall was equal to Shawn and better than Bret in my opinion between 93-95. He had the mic skills, ring work, popularity, AND size Vince likes.
What did Hall lack that Shawn and Bret have over him? I don't see it. Bret never did anything for me. Owen was the only Hart I was a fan of.
@@lexkanyima2195 1994 was the PERFECT timing though. He was a babyface. Owen had a nice feud with Bret from WM10 through the summer. Have Owen beat Bret at Summerslam, then have Razor beat him say...Survivor Series.
Diesel's title win seemed rushed. I'm all for him and HBK feuding in 95, but it didn't have to be over the WWF title. Diesel wasn't ready.
@@lexkanyima2195 There would be solid challengers. Owen would be first, wanting a rematch. Then HBK since they had IC title history. Then Diesel likely interferes as their tension escalated.
1. Razor beats Owen to win at Survivor series.
2. Razor beats Owen again at the rematch in December.
3. Hbk challenges Razor in January. Razor retains due to Diesel.
4. In February there's a triple threat match. Razor retains again.
5. The conclusion sets up HBK vs Diesel in March at WM X. With Razor's opponent being the Royal rumble winner.
@@lexkanyima2195 Bret Hart could be who wins the rumble. So that's who faces Razor in the main event. WM10 back in NY with two over babyfaces at MSG. Boom.
@@lexkanyima2195 My bad, WM11 was in Hartford, CT, right? That's still in WWE's wheelhouse. CT from the outskirts of NY. Card still works.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
You can't really put your world title on a stereotype of a Cuban drug dealer during a PG era.
That must been a HOT wife n was getting too much attention
But it was maybe intruiging
Holy fuck he really is gone. Didn't sink in until Solomonster made it official in my mind. I'm no fan of the Kliq, but nobody deserves death.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Hall. I'm not a tattoo guy, but I've been seriously considering his HOF quote being inked on my body permanently. You all know the one.
Go for it
Scott never wanted to be world champion. For him wrestling was about making money which is why he always put over every young guy he thought deserved it. He was always the big name get over fall guy.
Why ? He had the tools to become world champion. But Solomonster made a good point of the wrestlers was on a higher level, in terms of draw, connection, and on top.
Yeah to Hall, wrestling was about making money , not championships.
It's not impossible to feel bad for Scott Hall, but it's very hard to when you consider all the shitty things he's done over the years, including more recent things, like when he refused to sign the kid who was dying of cancer's card at a convention with the argument "Heels don't do that" even though he previously begged fans to fund some surgeries through GoFundMe. Then there was the time his son Cody was accused of stealing from a wrestling program and he was quick to throw his son under the bus before there was any evidence, saying something like "I didn't raise him to do that", or there was that rather charming interview with ESPN where he said being a pro wrestler was more important than his family or the time he groped a 57 year old woman in the late 90s or the time he cornered a stewardess on a flight and said "You and me are gonna fuck" or the times where Hall and his bullshit Klique sabotaged Shane Douglas and other wrestlers career in the WWF. Great wrestler, sure, but he was basically a sociopath in life.
