80. Scott Hall
If it weren’t for the complete wreck his life turned out to be perhaps Scott Hall would have ranked much higher on this list. As it stands being number 80 is not too shabby. Scott Hall come along at the most opportune time for me. He debuted in the WWE just when I began to enjoy watching heels and came to like heels. Scott Hall was the first of the ‘cool heels’ breed. His being a cool heel wasn’t just because he called himself “Da Bad Guy” but because of his swagger.
I defy anyone that grew up watching Razor Ramon to have a toothpick in your mouth and not flick it away when you’re done. I chew on tooth picks all the time and I’ll always flick it away like I’m Da Bad Guy. Being Da Bad Guy is good as well as having swagger and flicking toothpicks but the thing that really makes him great was his tremendous ability inside that ring. His ladder matches again Shawn Michaels are legendary and his matches against Jeff Jarrett are some of the most under appreciated matches ever.
I couldn’t do a write up of Scott Hall without it being survey time. Hey yo. Who read this write up to hear about Dubbya Dubbya Eff? And home many of you read this to read about the N – W – O?! Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan may have been the members of the original incarnation of the nWo but Scott Hall was ‘the’ original Outsider. And because of that it should be recognized that he was one of the men that revolutionized the business. And that is very cool for a heel. Survey says! One more for Da Bad Guy!
Favorite Moment:
There is really only one moment that could qualify as being Scott Hall’s greatest moment of all time and it is also my favorite moment. When Scott Hall jumped the guardrail at Monday Nitro and began the invasion of the New World Order.
Favorite Match:
Shawn Michaels [c] v. Razor Ramon (Ladder Match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, WWF Summer Slam 1995)
