Scott Hall Hospitalized

[BigCrippyZ]

Former WWE talent Scott Hall has been hospitalized following a drug overdose, reports WrestlingNewsWorld.com. No further details are available at this time.

The former Intercontinental Champion has been battling serious health issues over the past year. He was hospitalized last June for double pneumonia, which had affected both lungs. He was hospitalized again in August due to complications from pneumonia. After recovering, Hall checked into a WWE-sponsored rehabilitation facility, and checked out in early October. Hall was hospitalized weeks later as he needed a pacemaker implanted into his heart.

Hall announced last week he would not be on hand for the WrestleMania XXVII festivities in Atlanta, Georgia because the atmosphere would be detrimental to his quest to stay sober.

He posted his last Twitter message Sunday night while watching WrestleMania XXVII, writing "Taker wins!"

So much for his quest to stay sober apparently. Part of me feels sorry for him and part of me thinks, "Come on man! How many chances do you need? Get your fucking shit together!"

[Volare]

I want details first before we go another round of "Scott Hall and the Bashing Stick."

[screech]

:(

[JimmyMess]

I'll take a page from Craig Ferguson who said that staying sober is a lifelong struggle.

It's a DAILY struggle.

[Fox]

Hey yo.

[Rammsteinmad]

This was probably brought on by the fact that he missed the Wrestlemania celebrations.

[Fox]

One more for the good guys.

[BollywoodSingh]

Too many will bash Scott Hall for this as if it's just simple decision to remain sober. If it was so easy, drug and alcohol abuse wouldn't be such a big problem in the world.

[Nicky Fives]

fuck..... I love Hall....perhaps he should have chose to attend the HOF ceremony afterwards..... The Kliq could have kept an eye on him......

Bollywood makes a great point.

[Londoner]

Always sad to hear shit like this.

[Jordan]

This sadly isn't a shock to me, I hope he gets better.... he seems so lost

[Damian Rey]

I will always root for him. I think at some point, somebody close to him will have to realize he just doesn't have it in him to pull it together. That's not a bad thing, and not a knock on Hall. Some people just need more help than others. Somebody in Hall's life needs to step in, and get this thing going in a legal direciton.

Isn't there a way to have Hall delegated to some sort of parental figure, ala Britney Spears some years ago? I don't know the legal terms of it, but it would basically be a guardian who help makes decision and guides you, rather than letting you do it for yourself, when you have proven you are not capable of such.

I do wish him the best. I was a huge Razor mark.

It's called a conservatorship. I actually think this would be a great idea for him if he truly wants to get clean and just can't seem to do it on his own. The only problem is they're usually difficult to obtain and often are for short periods of time.

I'm sure he wants to get clean. I mean, why else would he keep trying. I think he's at the point in his life where someone else needs to step in for him. I don't think Hall would make the decision for himself. It has to made for him. I know he has kids, and the real loss will be them losing their father if nobody does something about Hall's demons.

[Savio]

I wish he was there so they could have took a true Kliq picture.

[Rock Bottom]

I have to say that back when I was a kid, and had no inclination whatsoever that wrestling was scripted, Razor Ramon always captivated me as a complete 100% bad guy. I dreaded his appearances, I cheered when he lost, he seemed like such a bully. He was in short company of the heels I bought into as being a tough guy that would push everyone else around.

Today, I give a shit less, and it makes me feel regret when I see something like this. About 20 years ago, he was the bad guy, and I was a kid, watching, marking out when "The Kid" beat him with a moonsault. Now, the world isn't so black and white for me, and apparently it's a big haze for Scott Hall. That is rather sad.

And wrestlers (especially habitual drug users) would never lie, so it must be true.

I wonder if Shawn is trying anything to help? Shawn got over his addictions and if anything he's the one person that has what it takes to help Scott Hall

Well I for one feel real bad for the "victims" of this "disease".

Seriously, drug addicts and alcoholics should go talk to a kid with cancer before they talk about being victims of a disease. Hall has nobody to blame but himself.

That video no joke is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life seriously. I wanted to make fun of him, but I just feel bad for him. WOW.

The people around him need to help him and stop "helping" him get whatever he wants.

[HBPunk]

Surely he's on his way out. Fuckin tragic videos from lastnight that Ryan Clark took no time in posting here. Where does he go now? He probably should have attended the HoF. Maybe CM Punk will call him out on Raw :|

[Mr. JL]

Justin Credible looks like he has some problems too, just not as many as Halls has... yet.

[Xero]

Why did the promotion even let him go out there?

...Other than the fact it's probably run by scumbags...

[Nightwing]

Thats fucking sad. I cant believe they let him go out in that type of condition, let alone get involved in the action.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Same reason Charlie Sheen's stand up tour is like sold out: people like watching trainwrecks.

Who said Credible was looking in bad shape? He seemed to look fine and wearing a DX shirt. The members of the Kliq not at WrestleMania together.

[Gonzo]

Well I for one feel real bad for the "victims" of this "disease".

Seriously, drug addicts and alcoholics should go talk to a kid with cancer before they talk about being victims of a disease. Hall has nobody to blame but himself.

You're an ignorant fuck aren't you?

[dingdongyo]

Why did the promotion even let him go out there?

my thoughts exactly.

am i right in thinking this board collectively shit on jeff hardy for doing the same thing? if so, is there a difference i'm not aware of, besides it just being higher profile?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Essentially yes. Hall also probably had to go out there so he could get paid. Jeff is under a contract and was going to get paid anyways.

XL remove those quotes from disease turn them sideways and stick em up your ass. I won't say that alcoholism as a serious as a disease of cancer, but that doesn't make it not a disease.

[Xero]

So don't pay him.....

There really is no difference between this and the Hardy situation at its core. Though I'd say this is about 10 times WORSE.

Either way, neither should have been sent out to the ring in the first place.

[St. Jimmy]

Cool, it's Jeff Hardy in 3 years

[Londoner]

:kiss: marry me, you would look so sexy in a wedding dress covered in my cum lil virgin boi.

[Rock Bottom]

ROFL at Scott Hall thinking he was in England rather than New England. I'm sorry, this has crossed the line from sad to hilarious.

[Aguakate]

So don't pay him.....

There really is no difference between this and the Hardy situation at its core. Though I'd say this is about 10 times WORSE.

Either way, neither should have been sent out to the ring in the first place.

Yeah, this situation is MUCH worse, since Hall has heart problems...and the condition he was in was MUCH worse...it's REALLY sad to see "The Bad Guy" in this condition.

It's getting to the point where something, ANYTHING, has to be done...

...the other members of the Kliq (Nash, HBK, Triple H and X-Pac) should all get together and go down to see Hall, and do some kind of intervention...this has gotten to the point where the man's very own LIFE is in danger, and any day now we could be reading of his death.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

The Kliq is dead you fucking Mark.

Scott Hall gets no pity from me.

[Kane Knight]

Thats fucking sad. I cant believe they let him go out in that type of condition, let alone get involved in the action.

[BigCrippyZ]

Jesus Christ. This is terribly sad. I really hope someone steps up and gets involved to try to help Scott out for his own sake. His publicist should be ashamed for spreading false information and not trying to help him instead, even if he is paying her. So should the promotion for letting him take part in this show in this condition.

[Sixx]

Why did the promotion even let him go out there?

...Other than the fact it's probably run by scumbags...

Probably the only recognition they ever got.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

Why the fuck wouldn't they let him go out there? They are paying him money to be there so use him. If they wouldn't have, the fucking drunk probably would have committed murder.

[Aguakate]

Probably the only recognition they ever got.

...and ever will get.

[dingdongyo]

Essentially yes. Hall also probably had to go out there so he could get paid. Jeff is under a contract and was going to get paid anyways.
still not understanding why the majority here considers hall as a good guy who needs help and hardy as just a fuck-up.

Yeah, the heart problems makes his situation even worse than usual.

[Craig T. Nelson]

still not understanding why the majority here considers hall as a good guy who needs help and hardy as just a fuck-up.

Because once upon a time Scott Hall was the next big thing. Also, he has charisma.

Jeff is just kind of, I dunno, the girls and kids love him so why not throw him out there? I never understood the appeal. He's not the first guy to use high spots, dye his hair or paint his fingernails. But he's probably the first guy to do all those things at once whilst screaming "EXTRRREEEEME" in a southern accent.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I think the differences between Hardy and Hall are as follows.

1. Hardy is arguably in his prime, and utterly fucking it up. Basically, he has an opportunity a lot of guys would kill for, and he's blowing it. Hall on the other hand is past his prime. No one likes to see their former favorites broken down, and this is 10 times worse.

2. Hardy is a douche. IMO at least. Dunno, something about him just rubs me the wrong way.

3. Hardy's behavior made a lot of people in TNA look bad. Hall is just hurting himself

I completely agree. Nothing about this is sad and its nobodies fault but scott hall. anyone who refers to drug addiction or alcoholism as a disease is a complete fucking moronic dipshit asshole.

[Kane Knight]

In a business where people would rape their own grandmothers for a push, you're surprised that some promoter was unscrupulous enough to stick Hall out there in that shape?

[dingdongyo]

Because once upon a time Scott Hall was the next big thing. Also, he has charisma.
a lot of people liked hardy and a lot of people liked hall. prob not many people liked both, but they both had charisma and filled seats because of it.

To my knowledge Hall has never turned a PPV main event into a 90-second abortion when the company was supposed to be riding on him.
they both arrived to perform their jobs at a live show completely fucked up on a substance (allegedly). same thing.

I think the differences between Hardy and Hall are as follows.

1. Hardy is arguably in his prime, and utterly fucking it up. Basically, he has an opportunity a lot of guys would kill for, and he's blowing it. Hall on the other hand is past his prime. No one likes to see their former favorites broken down, and this is 10 times worse.

2. Hardy is a douche. IMO at least. Dunno, something about him just rubs me the wrong way.

3. Hardy's behavior made a lot of people in TNA look bad. Hall is just hurting himself

1. so because hall is older and looked worse, it's more excusable?
2. i don't know these people personally and i don't pretend to. i go by what i see.
3. don't understand that. hardy embarrassed himself by being unable to perform and forced a one-move squash match to cover for it. that doesn't make anybody else look bad. or did you mean the tna directors? in which case, hall's behavior does the same thing to whatever independent show he was at.

i'm not defending hardy or attacking hall. i'm just saying, they are doing the exact same thing to themselves. so crying for one and spitting on the other seems kinda stupid.

Ah fuck off with this bullshit.

I feel the situation is "sad" but I don't have any sympathy for Hall himself. I feel bad for his kids of course but this co-called disease/affliction is down to him and him alone.

Eddie's death was sad but ultimately it was is own fault.

There are millions of people in worse health than Hall who 1) haven't been as priviliged as him and 2) who's illness isn't self-inflicted. I'll save my sympathy for them.

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE DO HERE!!!

[jasean21]

We need to lock Scott away for about 120 days... Only with a Tv and p90x, in a controlled enviroment and let him get back together. I would love to see a Razor/Diesel appearance once on RAW...

[Blind-Rage]

Pray for him. Hopefully he will get better. We just can't lose one of the best!!!!

[Blind-Rage]

The Kliq is dead you fucking Mark.

Scott Hall gets no pity from me.

Hey genius they are still really good friends what does the kliq being dead have to do with anything? So if one of your good friends had a problem you would not help him? Dumb really Dumb!!!!!

[JimmyMess]

What do the kliq and being a mark have to do with each other? And why did you capitalize mark?

You're a retard.

[StevieA79]

Big Daddy Cool is taking care of Scott now I am sure he will be fine he's got the support of his buddies and that's what he needed.

Scott has lost his way, if I was Kevin Nash the first thing I would show him is how much of a zombie he looked on those videos recently at the wrestling event he stumbled into and how he needs to shape up or die.

I respect Scott as a man but it's almost like he has lost the will to live and if he's not careful he won't know what hit him. He is a walking heart attack and it won't take much more to kill him in my opinion the sad thing is I am not sure if he cares or not.

I just hope he can get out of the tunnel and get himself well again. I respect him as a performer and think he is massively underrated. I still think he could have a future in the business as a manager or a commentator if he just gets himself together.

Hopefully he does before it's too late.

[StevieA79]

You're an ignorant fuck aren't you?

No he's not because I agree with him. If that makes me an ignorant fuck too then so be it but my mother died of cancer she didn't have a choice. Scott Hall has a choice therefore it is not a disease it's his choice because he has weak moments but he still has a choice and he knows that deep down he probably just says 'fuck it' and has a drink. If he went to a tropical island or somewhere secluded without a bar in sight and some balls he could kick his habit going cold turkey. Any alcoholic that says they can't is lying. I know people who have got themselves off drugs, drink, cigarettes and all by going cold turkey. yes it hurts like hell, no doubt it is hell but sometimes you have to get through hell to get to heaven and sometimes therapy isn't the answer sometimes you have to use tried and tested techniques the mind is a powerful fucking thing. I didn't need councilling or medication when I lost my mother all I needed was time to mourn and pull myself together you can do that with anything. Again the right attitude can do wonders but of course people believe these days they need medication for this, that and the other depressions the latest one don't even get me started on depression jesus.

You can take or leave a drink. All it boils down to is people losing the will to live they cross the line and they don't care whether they choke on vomit or not in their sleep again they get to the 'fuck it' point and all hope of them getting through the turmoil and beating the addiction has gone again. It's sad when people get like that but it's just them being weak and feeling sorry for themselves they are lost in a world of self pity.

Drinking is a habit that can be kicked by anyone with the right attitude and willpower and anyone that says otherwise is a low down drunk with a weak mindset. I know many people who drank themselves to death too no it doesn't hurt them but what about the family they leave behind? That's the act of a coward in my opinion.

Sorry but that's my opinion you can clean up your act if you WANT to but sadly not many people REALLY want to. It just takes balls and mental strength to go through the hell of giving up the addiction or go through mourning as I have said. Hell if Eminem can kick an addiction anyone can he was one of the biggest pill poppers on the planet for a couple of years.

I just hope it's not too late for Scott. Maybe he's missing being one of the boys too much, maybe deep down it's really getting to him not having wrestling in his life anymore.

Alcoholism isn't self-inflicted. At least that's what they say.

I agree with SteviaA79. You may be a Scott Hall mark, fan, whatever. I'm sure nobody really wants to see him go further down the hole, but if he doesn't want to, nobody / nothing can help him. I'm sure his friends are trying their best to set him right.

How can you say you respect the man and then post abour how he's weak and should kick the habit.

Whilst I agree with everything you say on the subject of alcoholism (you were agreeing with me after all) it just seems those posts contradict each other.

[XL]

Alcoholism isn't self-inflicted. At least that's what they say.
How is it not?

I like a drink. When I was younger I probably drank enough to be considered an "alcoholic" but at no point did I become addicted, at no point did I or do I need a drink.

At some point Hall needs to realise he can't keep doing this shit. If this was Average Joe in the street (literally in some cases) nobody would give a damn. But they do because Scott Hall used to be somebody in wrestling. Worse still, he could have been so much more...but you don't put your World Title on an addict (unless you're TNA).

It's weird, I was smoking mad chronic everyday (spending $40 a day) and if it wasn't around, I couldn't do anything. I'd have no desire to do anything. I would say I was dependant on it. I would sleep in until 3pm, feel all depressed and end up scoring a sac later in the evening to feel better, to get in the mood. Rinse and repeat

But then I went to go see my dad for his wedding so I was away from it.

I came back from the trip and had no desire to smoke anymore. I even found some leftovers from a secret stash I kept in a box. But the desire to smoke was gone for some reason.

As for alcohol, I would always crack open a beer as soon as I left the liquor store parking lot. I couldn't wait til' I got home to start drinking. Nowadays, I have no desire to drink anymore. This new liquor store just opened near my place. I have yet to check it out.

Don't get me started on opiates though. Totally different ball game.
