We should do a Scott Hall night for the watch-along. Every time a great wrestler dies, a viewing should be held.

What a fucking punch he had. Just outstanding. Definitely on my top 5 favourite wrestlers. He was just so fucking cool.

R.I.P. Scott Hall you were the first “cool” wrestler I really remember. Attitude before the Era. It’s easy to forget how big he was both physically and popularity-wise. A hero for those in our thirties and forties.

The guy had such cross-over appeal, just never really got to take advantage of it (for many reasons, a bunch of them valid). There was nobody that watched him who didn't think he was the coolest mofo around.

lol at everyone posting at the same time about how cool he was likely without seeing one another's posts. That says it all.

Razor Ramon was good shit pal but I have to admit that Outsider/nWo Scott Hall was just the coolest cunt on planet Earth for about a year and a half.
Then Attitude happened. Attitude was so many stolen ideas that were stolen ideas all rolled into one. Childhood Wrestling Scott Hall |

nWo Scott Hall (especially 1996 and 1997) was immense because he got to 100% embrace counterculture. But he also did the work and the market research to find out what actually was "cool." Which TBH isn't that easy. Think about trying to lean into hip hop culture and appeal to teenagers and early twenty-somethings like the nWo did when you're pushing 40.

I noticed Gertner’s post above mine and was all “great minds think alike” and then when it refreshed you were there too saying the exact same thing. Hall had us all. |

He had a unique punch for sure. I liked using it in Smackdown CAWs

My favorite memory of Hall is the night he showed up on WCW. That may have been the first real true mind blown mark out of my life for wrestling. I was shook for the whole week. What a time.
Also though to me he is the premier Intercontinental Champion and the most legit contender for best character in WWE history that never won "the big one". You could have easily gotten Razor hot enough in 94-96 for a World Championship run. Especially with Shawn as champ if Razor had stayed. |

He really should have been in porn based on that picture though. Who is that with him, Spivey?

Rock tried to mimick the Hall punch but it lacked the oomph. Hall always looked like he was knocking the shit out of the recipient and it didn't seem like he slapped the leg.

I actually get what he means there. He’s talking about his open hand slaps though.

Dales right. Rock threw similar punches that just didn't look as stiff. You could tell Rock was pulling them clear as day.
