I hope Scott gets better, so his fans can remember him for a tremendous talent and not for what he has become. I also hope that the promoter has a nice time in hell for making Scott go out in front of that crowd, he cared more about his money than a guys career.
This guy should have been dead a long time ago. Even he acknowledges that. It's sad to see such a fall from grace, but the fact is he's still alive and lucky he has a great son who never gave up on his dad.
Knowing that Scott Hall has been in rehab several times and has abused prescription medications, why in the ever loving fuck did the ER doctor send him home with Soma and Percocet?
If he was in the ER, he was probably on morphine or dialud. Then they send him home with oxycodone and trust he'll take it as prescribed?
The doctor may has well shot him up with straight heroin when he released him.
I always knew that Scott Hall had his problems with drugs & alcohol but I didn't realize how bad it actually was. This documentary about his life really truly is heartbreaking I. Really hope that he get's healthy soon because I wanna see him around 50 yrs from now I mean how could you not love Scott Hall he's "The Bad Guy Mang" lol
I just gotta say, when I first saw the movie the Wrestler... Jake the Snake Roberts is who came to mind, not Scott Hall. Still a fair comparison with Hall. Just sayin' chico
scott hall talks about being on his a-game, thats long gone like the great days in the us economy, a d or c game if hall is lucky on his best day now.
Its so sad looking at these guys I used to look up to and idolise and now their like this, its horrible. And I cant believe the people at the wrestling promotion let him go out and wrestle, their scumbags!
@H1TMAN9 i agree with you to a certain point, but scott hall is a big boy he was born rational, he has a brain or did have a brain, decide right from wrong. scumbags that is true, but on any given day, hall would not act professional, its funny that eric bitchoff was talking about hall, when he let him come to work shit faced, halls wife was pissed and angry at wcw management, at least vince fired hall which was right.
@omhat True but at the end of the day when a guy is in that kind of state you can't send him out to do that. Anyone can see that he clearly needed hospital treatment
@H1TMAN9 scott hall had main event potential he had charisma, talent, looks. hes now a waste of space due to negligence on his part. he had more money than a lot of people and fame, now hes worse off, scott could have all the beautiful women, money, cars, doesnt mean shit, look at his life now. look at hogan with his son and his wife, money does not buy happiness. hall doesnt have money, happiness and health, happiness he could never find with coke.
You grow up saying this guy is my Idol. Then you're old enough to say, this guy breaks my heart. I hope he truly gets better, if not then that was his own decision.
I hope to God he's doing well now. Watchin him bein carried to the ring brought tears to my eyes because he was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I think his son Cody can be his cure, it looks as if he has his dads genes so he has the size, hopefully he has the talent as well and can make it. It put a smile on my face when I saw him do the Razor's edge, I'm sure it puts a smile on Scott Hall as well.
Scott Hall is a delusional alcoholic. He needs help. He cant separate wrestling from real life. Dana Hall said it best: "He is addicted to wrestling and to his alter ego in a same way as he is addicted to drugs and alcohol. They all feed each other and its a spiral that has never been broken."
12:02 is the most horrible part of the doc. I mean, the guy is being carted around in a wheel chair and he's still wearing the nWo shirt. There's just something about that scene that is so hard to watch.
@BlackLeather92 so true, its like hes hanging on to his nwo memories. i never did drugs so i cant relate to see how its hard to break up the cycle. but hall said they were fun, hes a big boy. hall was living it up, where are his friends? this world is cold, now hes sinking slowly like the titanic. razor crying on the video is a cry for help, he looks like a zombie so sad, was once one of the most handsome men and talented and charismatic now an illusion. he chose drugs over his wife and kid.
@BlackLeather92 if scott hall was clean like cm punk, and if there were not that much politics he could have been right up there with hbk and bret hart, he had the talent and charisma. life is delicate like a flower, i feel sad that matt and jeff lost their mother and father, they have been down a hard road, they have talent. matt hardys x girlfriend lita cheated on him with edge, matt forgave edge and lita, thats class in my books. razor doing a razors edge onscottsteinerawesome
Dude went from making over 1 million dollars a year for 5 years wrestling in front of 50,000 people to now being basically broke and working for about 200 bucks a show in front of 20 people in a high school gym. Moral of the story? Dont be an alcoholic or drug addict.
You know, I remember watching WWF/E in the mid 90s....but the only time I can ever remember them wrestling in a dome, was in 92 in the Hoosier Dome. Don't get it twisted, though, Scott Hall wrestled in front of more people than I'll ever know in my life. Sad his life had to end up like it did.
bischoff is such a fuckface. he was the one who in the late 90s pushed scott hall in one of the most deplorable and disgraceful gimmicks ever...mocking scott hall's real-life struggles with alcoholism
@fluffynoses bischoff is like the guy that sean waltman told to fuck you. bischoff just cared about the money. halls wife was pissed that bischoff let hall come wasted several times to nitro and blow chunks in front of a live audience. hall picked fights with konan. if bischoff cared he would have disciplined hall and told him u need to get help. life is so precious, you can do everything perfect and still fail. hall was the best big man to not be hw champion.
@PlatinumRemix84 Hogan is acutally looking the best, and that says a lot. Scott was one of my favourite wrestlers though. "Hey yo" and survey time will never be forgotten :)
Wow, check it out at 4:32, Scott looks like the final boss Mr.Big from the C64 game Target Renegade! Take a look if you know the game (one of my uploads).
Such a wrong move not to give this guy the WWF eagle belt, it would've looked so good on him with all that gold!,...instead they push a guy with no personality that wears pink!,...eeecchh.
man i hate how my boy scott hall got to this horrific part in his life, and i really hope he gets help soon. But what really scared me was how his eyes looked at 02:30 to 02:39 seems as if he's battling demons as well
@mexicantlivehere when i see him come out of the curtain where he cant independently come to the ring by himself it makes me cry, because here he was such a cool handsome dude with talent and charisma, when i was a kid, i never thought this would happen, i was just naive. hes deteriorating like tooth decay by the second.
eric bischoff in the late 90s never disciplined hall for coming to work shit-faced totally unprofessional.
Scott Hall was a big star in wcw and wwe but he was never THE MAN. He was always second to someone. It's funny if you look at the click now Triple hhh is basically the soon to be president of the company, kevin nash is an over the hill loser with no charisma, scott hall is gonna die soon, sean waltman is gonna die soon and shawn michaels had to find god to escape death. It's sad to see your childhood heroes so vulnerable
I know what his kids are feeling. My father was an alcoholic and unfortunately succumbed to it a year and a half ago. I really do hope that he changes for the better so he can finally have a chance to be with his kids, something my father promised me to do yet wasn't as strong to kick his habit to the curve. I pray for Scott's well being.
Scott Hall...wow I met him and Kevin Nash a long time ago, and he gave me this HUGE bear hug and literally picked me up off my feet. I felt like the luckiest little girl in the world. I have always been in love with him and will always be. He is my soul mate.
@AirForceVeteran2008 Both of his children have issues with him due to Scott pretty much abandoning when they were little and it is obvious his son only wanted to train to be a wrestler so he could watch his dad more.
@brentHarvanator yeah. He won the 1st ladder match and has inspired many wrestlers around the world with his amazing promo and wresting skills. A wrestler drunk and on drugs? OMG say it ain't so. After hearing he killed a man I can prob see why he might have got into beer and stuff.
@DManCAWMaster its just the fact that he done everything for the company he could do, he was defiantly my Favorite wrestler when he was in his prime, he had it all, Mic Skills, a good gimmick, Wrestling Ability, everything.
the fact people just go and say he's nothing but a drug attic is just insulting for what he has done.
@brentHarvanator yeah. I mean yeah the dude has made his mistakes but in today's time alot of wrestlers do the same thing he did and is doing now and they don't nearly get as much hate as him. I just hope he can get better. I mean he may have made his mistakes but I would hate to see a guy of his fame be found dead in his house in a drunken state.
People should learn from this. I'm only 24 and I was on the brink of alcoholism about a year ago. I'm not 100% off the drink (I only drink once a week now), but I don't think I'll ever back as bad as i was.
It's truly sad to see a guy who was one of the coolest wrestlers of all-time barely be able to walk in his early 50s. Hopefully he will just survive and live. A comeback of any kind, even managing looks like it is clearly out of the picture.
I was gonna become a worthless drunk, piece of shit drug addict who cant be bothered to clean up for the sake of his family because he's such a mark for the wrestling business that he "doesn't know what's left after they stop chanting your name" but then I took an arrow to the knee. He deserved to be publicly humiliated by Ricard for being an unprofessional dickead and I hope he dies in a gutter alone where he belongs. Looks like your career burying Kliq bullshit has come back to haunt you Scott
@Vlensje Dear Scott Hall's Son: I'm sorry your childhood was ruined because your dad spent 20 years caring more about drugs an alcohol and wrestling fan cheers than he did you. Dear Scott Hall's ex-wife: I'm sorry you didn't have a husband to love you and help raise a family with you for the same reasons. But it's totally ok that he won't stop fucking up his life and torturing you emotionally because Karma is going to bite ME in the ass some day.
@petertaboni You think it's easy to just quit like that and stay sober. We all make mistakes and it's sad what he's going through. Nobody deserves to go through his demons. And I know it was hard on his kids just like it was hard watching my father go through his addiction, but in no moment did I ever doubt that my father loved me just like Scott loves his children. Hopefully Scott saves himself before it's too late.
lucky dad, for his kid to still care about him is truly inspiring. That's the silver lining here, not many people in this world have half the heart of Cody Hall.
All these ESPN dorks are so out of touch with pro wrestling. They mention all of the 80's wrestlers. They don't know anything about the Monday Night Wars era.
Two middle fingers to the prick who yells at him 13:55 about his relapse, and Steve Ricard for his lack of class and tact regarding a drug addict with a slew of medical conditions. Some people have zero class. It's now clear to the world that Scott Hall is a woefully flawed person- but I feel like this film has really exposed the uglier side of Pro Wrestling.
Mr. Ricard, take the man to court if you didn't get what you were paying for. You took advantage of a wounded & confused human. Bravo.
This is the sad reality for alot of guys in the business. Seeing Scott need assistance just to stand up is difficult to see for alot of us who grew up watching him. Addiction is just a powerful beast, some overcome it and some don't.
This dude was a HUGE asshole in real life, but as a human being, I feel bad for him. It's a sad story. You don't like to see any one in this kind of shape. He was a great wrestler. It's too bad he ended up like this.
Unfortunately, this is the life of a lot of wrestlers
i met scott when he came to my town as a kid and he took time to sign autograph and talk to me and my dad etc. He didn't seem like an asshole to me at all.... Shawn Michaels=different story
@cmarshall2008 He was hanging out with Michaels and Nash when I saw him.
They were looking for a hotel room, and my buddies dad worked the front desk. We were hanging out in the lobby, around midnight, and the 3 of them came walking in. They got pissed off because there were no vacancies.
But I will say Shawn Michaels was the biggest asshole of all of them. "I"M SHAWN MICHAELS, YOU'LL GIVE ME A FUCKING ROOM!" I'll never forget that as long as I live
I remember him back in his AWA days when he and the late Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) were the AWA tag team champs back in the Eighties. I hope that Scott can be around to see if Cody can become a success in the business.
I was looking at how bad Sean "X-Pac" Waltman was looking too! I hope he can stick around too.
@TheRVD420 I agree so much. Regardless of how much Scott has screwed up in his life, he's still a human being capable of redeeming himself. That whole thing made me furious.
It's sad, but such things happen. Self-destruction comes natural and easy to humans.
Scott Hall was an amazing wrestler, and arguably he's among the men who reshaped the businesss back in the 90s into what it is today. Nobody can dispute that.
But at the same time, he kinda deserves what he got - nobody forced the alcohol down his throat or the coke into his nose. He, a grown man, made the decision to drink and do drugs. Now he lives with the consequences. I hope he pulls through, though.
He's my favirote wrestling legend and this just really breaks my heart but like Jeff Hardy, there's still time to turn it around if you dig deep enough. Like Nash said, you need to reach the very hardcore bottom to get back to the top and now is the time Scott Hall, to get back to the top. Just ask Vince for a very rigorous, long lasting, secure, rehab programme and he'd do it for you.
Damn that was painful to watch!!! Well I hope Scott finally realizes his "purpose" and straightens up. I hope Cody is able to do something and I hope Scott finds that religious calling like vermontmark2 just wrote. Scott Hall was and still is my favorite WWF and WCW wrestlers. This really got to me because I grew up always looking forward to Razor Ramon and then looked forward to seeing The Outsiders and his survey time.
Get Better Scott!!! We're all praying and wishing the best for you.
@ThePlaintiff08 i feel what your saying but hulkamania was and still is the most amazing thing in prowrestling like, I was at a live with hogan 3 years ago and the pop was so huge...it amazed me that it sounded like 1984 still
Hall really had it all yet when he was at pinnacle at his career, when he was at the top of the world he realized the emptiness. So he started drinking. So he started drinking himself to death. I dont blame him.
When Goldberg speared his as* 10 feet in the air back in 98' it was all over then! Wouldn't all of you love to see Scott get back in the ring for the upcoming Wrestlemania against Lesner..that would be classic! Why do we have to feel sorry for dopeheads? I wish this documentary would have went into detail of why his as* was so fuc*ing depressed!
@sixerjones , you are so wrong! he was one of the greatest characters ever and was a great wrestler. the fact that he didn't win the WWF title doesn't mean he wasn't great. and let me remind you that the fact that a wrestler does win a world title today, doesn't mean he is great. if was a different era, a lot of great wrestlers didnt win the world title or even any title back then.
there are very few videos that get to me but this honestly made me tear up...one of the best E60 stories i've seen..i watched wrestling when i was younger but never knew how much this man had an effect on wrestling.. "when NWO hit the scenes in the 90's the landscape changed...it was as big as hulk-a-mania" from the man himself..its gotta hit you..bravo E60...bravo
Man, this is such a sad story. Scott Hall was an amazing wrestler and entertainer. He was so gifted, and to see how this played out for him is just awful. I look at this and see Jeff Hardy, but Jeff has time and can still change this around. I believe in Jeff and Scott no matter what. We all have problems, and they are no exception. Scott will get thing under control and will hopefully be the healthy and get Scott Hall we've all grown to know and love.
Looking at this documentary, it was hard to witness how a great wrestler who had a good mindset of the business fall to obscurity like that...having people worry about you, treated like shit and literally expected by many to be dead sooner than later...no one deserves to go through that at all...Hall, I know you don't want people to worry about you, but please get better soon.
Scott Hall. We love you brother. We grew up cheering you despite being a heel, because you made us love you. I understand how hard it can be to break an addiction, it's always easier living life with the blinders on. Despite your demons, like Jake the Snake, we'll always be here for you. I know you can do it, maybe not now, or even in the next 10 years. But the fact you're still alive, makes you a true man regardless. Hello bad guy.
@22prince22billups1 when i say natural talent I'm talking about his ability to control the crowd and tell the best story in the ring during his matches. I'm in NO WAY WHATSOEVER refering to his body/size/whatever he puts in it.
you wrestling fans seem unable to grasp the reality that outside of wrestling fans nobody knows who the hell Scott Hall is. and wrestling fans are a very small % of the population. most americans dont watch pro wrestling, and Hulk Hogan- and POSSIBLY The Rock- are just about the only wrestlers most people recognize. saying that Scott Hall is as popular as Hogan is just laughable. not to mention that Hogan was THE main event guy for the first TEN wrestlemanias and EVERY PPV, Hall can't touch that
@FishlegsJones I haven't read anyone saying Hall's as popular as hogan..The Rock def has more popularity than Hogan..That shows in Hollywood and at the box office..Hogan can't sniff the Rocks jock financially.Hogan might have sold more figureens(misspelled),but the Rock killed him in making money acting.Although there was Hogan knows best that was so fucking big it lasted a min,and ruined his marriage..This vid is about Hall not Hogan,so really who gives a fuck about Hulkamania?LMFAO
@bern1417 to say rock is more famous thanHogan tells me u must be 12,not alive in the 80's. Hogan was the 1st wrestler on the cover sports illustrated, he was THE main event guy for over 10 YEARS! when people across the PLANET said "pro wrestling"Hogan was the next name said. just like Elvis was the king of rock n roll, Hogan was/is the king o wrestling. if it wasnt for Hogan, Rock would be a nobody, cuz pro wrestling would still be a low dollar side show. Hogan MADE pro wrestling.
@FishlegsJones nope..I was born in 80..I remember the 80's pretty good..Yes Hogan is the pioneer.Yes he made wrestling.I recognize that,but guess what?It's not fucking 1984 anymore.That's old news..The Rock was the biggest name in wrestling when WRESTLING REACHED IT'S PEAK IN POPULARITY WORLD WIDE.Rocky was the man when RAW would have 10mil people watching om a Mon night.Raw was the top watched Mon night show for 3 years,kicking MNF in the teeth.Hogan had the good old USA network,LOL...
@bern1417 and yet even after all these years Hulk Hogan is STILL the most recogizable name in wrestling around the World. how long was the Rock the biggest star? 5 years? maybe? Hogan was THE top guy for at least 10 years, and THEN came the NWO years, when Scott Hall rode his coat tails. even TODAY 30 YEARS later Hulk Hogan is a huge star. will the Rock be a huge star 20-30 years from now? will people see Rock as a legend that revolutionized wrestling? will Rock be as famous as Elvis?
@FishlegsJones Elvis?gimme a beak..Yeah the Rock was prob on top for 5yrs give or take.However,he bailed when he ws still "The Man"..Yes Hogan has longevity,but so does Flair.That doesn't mean it's a good thing.Both are old and I'm sure don't put on a good show.You would know better I don't watch the shit anymore.NWO would've been huge even w/o Hogan that period WCW was on fire.The Rock will be big 40yrs from now
@bern1417 yes Elvis. Hogan is a popular and as much an American Icon as Elvis, Michael Jackson, Mickey Mouse, that's my point. 100 years from now Hulk Hogan will still be revered as a Legendary celebrity, guys like the Rock and Austin and whoever the champ is now won't be. Scott Hall won't even be a historical footnote beyond his association with Hogan. Hogan took pro wrestling to a level never even imagined before him, and Rock, Austin, Cena, and everyone to follow has Hogan to thank
@FishlegsJones He's not as popular world wide as you think..You're def exaggerating his popularity.Although,I'm Aware of his popularity.He is a legendary celebrity for wrestling,not so much in pop culture anymore.How you can down play the rock's popularity is beyond me.He was the top of the mountain when wrestling was at a place that hogan couldn't/didn't take it too.You're way to biased.This generation is different and Hogan isn't "the man anymore",dude..wipe the tears dude,lol
@bern1417 "this generation" is exactly my point. Hulkamania, and Wrestlemania, and ALL of the popularity that EVERY pro wrestler of this generation enjoys is ALL due to Hulk Hogan. it ALL started with him. when Hogan became a heel it made WORLD WIDE NEWS. every major news report ran the story that HULK HOGAN WAS A BAD GUY! you NEVER saw that kind of coverage of an angle for the Rock, or anyone else. you just don't get it. Hogan is an American ICON like Elvis, MJ, Al Capone, you name it
@FishlegsJones Maybe you should tell the current wrestlers who they should pay homage too.I already told you I know who the pioneer is.Hogan turning heel wasn't global news.It didn't make People or Newsweek magazine.I didn't see it on CNN ,or my local news..It wasn't a big deal outside the wrestling community.Hogan isn't close to being the icon MJ is, and he's sure as hell not in the same cateragory, as the 2nd most popular gangster.
@bern1417 I was a massive WCW fan and hated the WWE back in the day. I watched for years and went to every even. WWE and The Rock did nothing for me. There are alot of people who were like that back then. liked the Rock in walking tall but I didn't like anything else he did. Hogan "sealed the deal" with the Rocky appearance and other things.. He's been the face of wrestling for years. You don't need to see a match to know who he is and what he does. Sad but true.

@fluffynoses bischoff is like the guy that sean waltman told to fuck you. bischoff just cared about the money. halls wife was pissed that bischoff let hall come wasted several times to nitro and blow chunks in front of a live audience. hall picked fights with konan. if bischoff cared he would have disciplined hall and told him u need to get help. life is so precious, you can do everything perfect and still fail. hall was the best big man to not be hw champion.

Wow, check it out at 4:32, Scott looks like the final boss Mr.Big from the C64 game Target Renegade! Take a look if you know the game (one of my uploads).
Such a wrong move not to give this guy the WWF eagle belt, it would've looked so good on him with all that gold!,...instead they push a guy with no personality that wears pink!,...eeecchh.

Scott Hall was an amazing wrestler, and arguably he's among the men who reshaped the businesss back in the 90s into what it is today. Nobody can dispute that.
But at the same time, he kinda deserves what he got - nobody forced the alcohol down his throat or the coke into his nose. He, a grown man, made the decision to drink and do drugs. Now he lives with the consequences. I hope he pulls through, though.

He's my favirote wrestling legend and this just really breaks my heart but like Jeff Hardy, there's still time to turn it around if you dig deep enough. Like Nash said, you need to reach the very hardcore bottom to get back to the top and now is the time Scott Hall, to get back to the top. Just ask Vince for a very rigorous, long lasting, secure, rehab programme and he'd do it for you.

@bern1417 "this generation" is exactly my point.

Hogan is an American ICON like Elvis, MJ, Al Capone, you name it

@FishlegsJones Maybe you should tell the current wrestlers who they should pay homage too.I already told you I know who the pioneer is.Hogan turning heel wasn't global news.It didn't make People or Newsweek magazine.I didn't see it on CNN ,or my local news..It wasn't a big deal outside the wrestling community.Hogan isn't close to being the icon MJ is, and he's sure as hell not in the same cateragory, as the 2nd most popular gangster.

He's been the face of wrestling for years. You don't need to see a match to know who he is and what he does. Sad but true.
