Scott Hall/Big E

But obviously we've got some very big stories from this past weekend and a lot of news that is not good news. Scott Hall will be taken off life support once his family is in place, Kevin Nash wrote on Instagram. Life support will be removed for Scott Hall, who suffered three heart attacks on Saturday following complications from the hip surgery. Scott's on life support. Nash wrote, once his family is

in place, they will discontinue support. I'm gonna lose the one person on this planet I've spent more of my life with than anybody else. My heart is broken and I am so he said. I love Scott with all my heart and now I have to prepare my for a life without him. In the present. I have been blessed to have a friend that took me at face value and I him. Hall has been in the hospital since March one after suffering a broken hip that required surgery.

Complications started when a blood clot became loose. Obviously, Hall is best known for his running w w E s raised Ramon later in w c W as a founding member of the n w OH four time w W in are Kindell champion, seven time at tag team champion in w CW, etcetera, etcetera. So we can talk about Scott Hall here on the show today not looking good at this moment. Also and what it's bad news. But I mean, as far as like bad news goes, it's about the best. The outcome is about as best as

you can hope for such bad news. Biggie was on SmackDown Friday. He was given an overhead belly to belly and landed on his head and broke his neck. He broke his C one and his C six. Anything about broken necks, your ce one vertebrae. A lot of people that break that one, that's the end of them. They either are paralyzes for life or dead. Somehow he broke his C one and C six won't even need surgery.

We can talk about more after the break Wrestling Observer Live than thank you back in the show, right, albur is here, Wrestling Observer Alive. Mike Simper BV isn't here. I just realized he's not here today. I'll find out what's going on. You're a moment. In fact, let's do it here in the year, because you know that's what we do on this show, is find out what's going on. I guess is he's asleep? All right, let's get into the news here. Obviously we talked about Scott Hall and Biggie.

Is the two top stories. Scott Hall is on life support, which, according to Kevin Nash, will be he will be removed from life support when his family is in place. So that is the latest on Scott Hall. And as noted, Biggie suffered a broken neck on SmackDown and uh yes, I said he broke his C one and C six. It's it's semantics. I guess the C one and C six were fractured, but the doctor said his neck was broken,

so anyway, not good. But what is good is that he will not need surgery, and presumably I mean, he's got a full use of his arms, legs, fingers, digits, and hopefully this means that he will be back in

action sooner rather than later. He even joked pro tip, if you're gonna break your neck, do it in Birmingham, because of course that's where all of the major surgeries are done if you get yourself injured in w w E. So um, so that's that we have a question here, Uh thoughts, you know, what do you what do you think about the whole idea that even took an overhead belly to belly on the mats outside on SmackDown. So here's the thing to me regarding this move right here,

the the listen outside it is it is matted. Okay, the mats on the outside are are you're one and a half inch wrestling mats basically. So you know, if you ever watch Olympic wrestling, and if you watch freestyle Olympic wrestling, you know there's there's dudes to get picked up and thrown hard in in Olympic wrestling competition, and they're landing on the same mats as the mats you're landing on outside. So it's not like you're landing on cement.

It's obviously different from you know, taking a bump in the middle of the ring, which is the bounciest in the best place to take a bump, but you are you are still landing on a padded area. That's number one. Number two when they you know, when when you talk, they talk about the hardest part of the ring being the the ring, apron, etcetera. Yes, in the middle of

the ring there's a lot of give. There's less give on the ring apron, but the the mat that covers the ring itself, that extends the padded area that extends all the way to the end and usually curves over. So you know, you take a bump on the the apron and it is there is less give, but it is just as padded as as anywhere else. So what's the point. The point is, if you take a proper overhead belly to belly, what I would I like to be taking overhead belly to bellies on the matted area

in the floor. I wouldn't. But you know, if you're taking a vertical suplex, your body's going up and down this way. It's roughly the same as taking an overhead belly to belly on the floor, unless, of course, you land on top of your head like Big E did. If you watch the injury too, big E, I mean, if you would have landed like that in the middle of the ring, he probably would have suffered the exact

same injury. I mean, that's a that's a two and eighty pound guy or whatever, literally falling straight down on his head neck. So I'm not sure it would have been any better to take that bump inside the ring. I've seen thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of overhead belly to belly super lexus and they very, very rarely go wrong. So if the question is what I ban that move, I would not ban the overhead belly

to belly suplex. Would I make sure that the person delivering the overhead belly to belly suplex knows exactly how to do it? Of course, And you know there's also you know this this. If you gonna watch Drew McIntyre do an overhead belly to belly suplex, he grabs people around the waist, but as he throws, he also takes one of his hand and he bumps him over, as opposed to just doing the curd angle style or the brock Lesson. You just grab him and you go and

and they flip over. I mean, I prefer the way that Drew does it in the sense that most people may not even notice it, but you're doing essentially the same move, but you're also giving them that little bump to help turn them over in case something goes wrong. I would prefer if it was done that way, but this was it was an accident. I don't know what went wrong. You know, it's not that much harder of a bump on the outside than a lot of other bumps if done correctly, So it was an It was

an accident that happened. And if it would have happened in the ring, on the ramp, pretty much anywhere. I mean, a two pound guy landing straight up and down on his head like that, it's gonna there's gonna be it's gonna be a poor outcome. So I don't think that everybody should be getting all over Ridge Holland. You know, I I watched it. I mean, I don't even really

know what went wrong. The guy didn't rotate enough. But sometimes when you see a botched move, I mean, it's abundantly clear what went wrong with that botched move, and obviously something went wrong here, but it wasn't something where when I watched it's like, well, of course the guy landed on his head. The whole thing got completely screwed up. It clearly got screwed up, but it's not like some things where you know, it's very obvious what went wrong,

why it went wrong, etcetera, etcetera. So thankfully Big he appears to be on the road to recovery, hopefully quickly, hopefully he can get back in the ring. I mean, it wasn't that move, but you know, I was way more concerned for years about you know, when Biggie did that running topay and just crashed so hard on the outside over and over. I thought for sure something bad was gonna happen there, but it never did. And uh, you know, maybe when he comes back, maybe avoid stuff

like that. But hopefully he can come back and do everything he did before. I'm glad he's all right, And uh, I'm glad that. I'm glad it didn't turn out worse because watching that bump, like times out of a hundred, I think it probably would have ended up much much worse.

Scott Hall, what can you say about Scott Hall. You know, obviously the most notable run of Scott Hall's career was when they came in as the Outsiders and uh, you know it's been talked about nauseum for years, but the Outsiders in World Championship Wrestling, and I don't want I don't want people to listen to this and Gobry listen. It's not I'm not denigrating Kevin Nash or running down Kevin Nash, okay, but what I'm saying is if you watched the Outsiders when they first came in, before they

were linked with Whole Cogan. I don't want to say that it was like the Scott Hall Show because it took both of them, but holy smokes, a Scott Hall. This guy had the charisma of like fifty men. And I'm not sure that if if it would have been like you know, Kevin Nash and uh, if they would have chosen Kevin Nash and Lex Luger or Kevin Nash and um, you know who else might have jumped over that time, Ted d Base whatever, I'm not sure any other group it would have been as big as it

was with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Because Scott Hall had so much charisma and and he, like I felt, was the guy that at the very beginning, held this whole thing together, is like a mega superstar type group. And then of course once he had a whole COVID, it was off to the races and everything like that. But I don't know if Hall gets enough credit for, you know, doing as much as he did when this when this act first came over from from from w WF.

So obviously, you know, once once he started to have his problems, I mean it was it was a rough road. Even at his worst, he still had so much charisma. I mean, he could come out and you know, clearly he wasn't in the best state of mind, but he could get in the ring and do his hey yo, and the people would go absolutely crazy and and uh, super charismatic guy. I always thought he was a great worker, and uh, you know, there were some people that I thought that he was. He was a little bit overrated

as worker. Maybe in some ways he was, but I thought that he was great. He was he was smooth, he could have good matches, he would never hurt you. Uh, he connected with the fans. He was he was way way better as Scott Hall. In uh in w c W than he was his Razor Ramone, and he was a big star as Razor Ramone. But I felt that he was far more charismatic under his real name doing that character than he was is you know, the fake

whatever he was with Razormon. We could have more about Scoll Hall Scott Hall after the break, rusting him Server Live. I am, in fact here on the show Hustling Observer Live right, Alvarez here, Mike semperviv. I do not know where he's at. I guess we will. We'll see he shows up here today daylight savings time. I guess is that he is a He is asleep right now, so

UM a couple of other things. We'll we'll talk more about Hall and Biggie when we get in the feedback here, but raw is tonight, and tonight we're gonna find out if Cody is signed or not, because if Cody has signed, he's gonna be on the show tonight. I guess it's also possible he has signed and they've changed plans, but the plans even as of this weekend, we're still Cody

and seth rawlins. If if Cody signs his deal, So if he has signed, he is expected to be on the show tonight, and if he has not signed the obviously he's not gonna be on the show tonight. And if he has not signed yet, then I guess we'll find out if they're going to hold off and continue the presumption that he will face seth Rawlins, or if

they will move seth Rawlins onto something else. Because they've been doing house shows this weekend and seth Rawlins was added to the I guess would be Finn Balor and Damien East feud. They've been doing three ways this weekend, So presumably if they can't figure out, uh, they can't get the Cody deal done, then uh, seth Rollings does have a clear path to wrestle Menia everybody. He will be involved, most likely in a three way, but we'll find out tonight. I Uh, I don't know what's gonna happen.

I have absolutely no idea. It's like one of those uh, you know when when people go, oh, you think such as that, I have no idea what's gonna happen to a W And I have no idea what's gonna happen with Cody. Do I think he's gonna be there tonight. Well, I don't know. I can't even say one way or the other. What I could tell you is that this was the place that they were expecting him to debut. So debuts the debuts, and if he doesn't, and we'll see what happens. Also, this weekend of our shows, who

should return to action but Becky Lynch. So she'd done a house show. I guess it would have been a week ago, and she suffered a broken voice box, she said, and uh, she was not at RAW. Actually she wasn't Raw. She was backstage, but she was not on TV. But she'd been hospitalized over the weekends. Would have been marked sixth and all Intown, Pennsylvania. She suffered the broken voice box, and she's in the hospital. She's got the gimmick. She shows up at RAW the next day she can't talk.

And the word we were given was they expect that she's going to be back in time for WrestleMania. I thought, Wow, it seems like it's gonna be pretty quick. Well, lo and behold, she was back to an house shows this weekend, so she's good to go for WrestleMania. So I presume that she will be on the show tonight, but I guess anything is possible. We also had w W revealing the newest member of this year's w w E Hall

of Fame class. It was announced via Complex whatever that is, and that Charmel will be inducted into the w w E Hall of Fame over WrestleMania Week this April. Joins the Undertaker and Vader in the twenty two Hall of Fame class. I was so happy, she told the Complex. After learning she was going into the Hall of Fame, I didn't even know what to say. It was an unexpected,

great surprise, a welcome surprise. Somebody asked if she was the first w w E Hall of Famer that had gotten a negative five star rating, and the answer is no, That would go to the Bushwhackers who once faced the Iron Chic at Nikolai Volkoff and a tag team match at the Heroes of Wrestling, which actually I gave significantly less than five stars to Minus five stars would have been like praising that particular match, it was so bad.

And then also on the subject of the Huffman's Nearly a month after Booker t backtrack after initially breaking the news, rock Cy has reportedly signed a w w E contract and will start in n x T pple Inside Report of the News on Monday during a mid February appearance on Ariel Hellwani's MMA Our but Curtisa, the twenty year old had signed a deal, but later tweeted that he misspoke because this company is weird and uh, they don't want you announcing anything until either they have announced it

or they have given the news to somebody else to announce, where they can announce that somebody else announced it, because it seems like you're a bigger deal when somebody else is breaking your news, except if it's like you know, Wrestling Observer, p W Inside or something, then that doesn't count.

But anyway, she's been signed for a while, so there you go, and I hope she does well in n x T, and honestly I expect, oh, here, here he goes, she's gonna do well in n x T. Roman rains Is All have been added to two stops on w w e's upcoming European House show tour. Rain's gonna be wrestling in London on April, Paris on April. They've got

a tour from April one through May one. Since their usual the usually do a post WrestleMania European tour and so uh they've added Roman and Rhonda, which to me probably means, you know, we gotta sell some tickets, because that's what they normally do in they need to sell

some tickets. So there you go. We're gonna go to some feedback and I may open up the phone lines in the next segment if you've got memories and things you want to talk about regarding Scott Hall, and we can also if you want to talk about the Rampage show on Friday night and the SmackDown Show on Friday Night as well, which had a very good main event. It was weird actually was made evented by um Sammy Zane and Ricochet. That was a main event of SmackDown

Sammy Zane and Ricochet. Although they did end with a as I attempt to not sneeze here and I have no Mike to cover for me. Ah, they did end with a brawl Charlotte Flair and uh Rhonda Rousy. Huh. Don't look at the light, that's what they say. Don't look at the light. All right. Scott Hall was awesome. This person said, I never got to see him. Russell

alive because his peak was before I was born. But looking back at his matches with the guys like Brett and Sean, they're amazing and his importance to wrestling history is undeniable. Yeah, Like I said, I was a way bigger fan of him as Scott Hall than Razor Ramone. Those Razor Ramon the vignettes were just so wacky, and he ended up doing a good job with the character. But I mean this is like a classic example of

you know, we've talked about it a million times. No matter how good you are at at playing a character, you're still better at being yourself. And uh, and he was himself when he was Scott Hall and when he was raised Ramoney was was it a fake Cuban? Is that what it was? So? You know, but it was, you know, there was um, you know, he used some of the the Razor Ramon mannerisms when he went to UH to World Champions pressling when him and Kevin Nash

jumped over. I mean, there was a lawsuit filed by w w E that that w w E was using their intellectual property because even though they you know, they they called him Scott Hall. I mean, he used the line about you know who I am. He had the you know, the whole gimmick and everything like that, so you know that was but he he he changed, he went, he went full Scott Hall there after a while, and it was a I thought, a big improvement. This person says, it's funny growing up as a wrestling fan, my mom

and my aunt would occasionally watch with me. My mom hated Scott Hall, while my aunt loved him and always had such a huge crush on him. One time, I free uh freeze framed a picture of him in picture and picture tease my aunt with and it accidentally burned an imprint in the TV heath that lasted a week. Remember back in the day when you have like a screen saver or you would uh you know, burn an imprint into your cathode ray monitor. Some of youngsters are like,

what is this guy talking about him? Many Christmas? Regardless of this, he says, I still do some of his mannerisms in the mirror, like slicking the hair, pumping the chest while stomping the floor to show off. The man at Chrisma said to have a world without him, and glad he sobered up to enjoy the world for his last few years. He will be missed dearly. This person says Scott really got hey yo over as a catchphrase.

He was that good rest in power man. He would stand out there and he would just build it up forever and then he'd uh, oh, here's Mike. Yeah, he sent me a text that I cannot. I can't. I don't know what he's talking about, but I'll contact him during the break. So, oh, you know what. I know where he's at and I can now. Yeah, I forgot about this. It's actually my fault. He didn't know show. He told me last week he's actually going to see the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant live. I forgot about that.

My fault. He didn't sleep in there. You go, Brian forgot again. Remember he went to see the Boogie Woogie Man. Alright, I'll let him know, all right, Well that's where he's at. He's out seeing Jimmy Valiant today. Totally forgot about that, all right. And actually somebody notes here, you know, with that w w E lawsuit where they they claimed that Hall was using too many of the Razor Ramon mannerisms

when he went to Championship Wrestling UM. His w W e w W f Razor Ramone mannerisms remarkably similar to the Diamond stud I don't think that was mentioned in the lawsuit. Also got here four to five seven eight zero seven five six six. By the way, as the text message line, this person says, that's about the Bullet Club. We'll get into those later. Let's just largely do uh. Scott halland such here today. Josiah says, I met Scott Hall when I was eight. He was a replacement for

Kevin Nash when Kevin Nash had travel issues. He made the show but was late. Maybe he was also visiting the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant. He shook my hand with his hand covering half of my arm and spent some time talking to me. He took the time to talk to everybody, made sure all the kids felt welcome. It was my first ever wrestling show live. It was so great and it was a huge part of why I'm a fan today. Back in the mall, we'll drop

the phone numb Wrestling Observer Live. Okay, back in the show, Brian Elbarez here, Wrestling Observer Alive. If you want to contact us here today, let's talk about some Scott Hall seven eight zero seven five six six is the text message lines and your text messages there and if you'd like to give us a call with your thoughts on Scott Hall eight four four nine one three seven seven,

it's eight four seven. Probably wanna talk a lot about Rampage and SmackDown today, But yesterday's Brian and Vinny show we reviewed Rampage, so if you want to check that out as a subscriber, you can do so. And also for our subscribers at Wrestling Observer dot com as well as our top tier YouTube subscribers video in for w online at dot com. Filthy Tom and I will be up at two Pacific five Eastern talking SmackDown and New Japan Strong, which was also main evented by Swerv Strickland

as he faced j White. That'll be coming up later on today, so we'll talk about these shows there. Let's go to ports Mouth. You're on the air. What's going on? Hey? What's up Brandon here? Um? Yeah, you know it's playing my first Um you are? I guess I ever saw Scott Hall was when him in the n w OH went to w WF, when Vince had that whole I'm gonna poison the w WF I bringing an n W and so like. So like at that time, I was like, oh, Scott Hall, he's hole Cooke in you know, cronies or whatever.

But then, like you know, I never watched w c W, but I did go back and watch the Scott Hall met with Sean Michael's the ladder match they had. It was it was so cool to seeing the match like that because it's always different from like ladder match. This would be today where people are just like killing themselves

doing all this crazy stuff. So it, um, I'm gonna definitely gonna keep looking at more stuff I can when I could see a Scott Hall and so sad to hear about the news, but it's good that we have the great memories of him. Alright, I want to thank you so much for the call. Yeah, that that ladder match. I've talked about that match a million times, the WrestleMania ten ladder match, Scott Hall and and Sean Michaels, which

was amazing. Like if you've never if you aren't my age, if you're if you're you know, thirty five or younger, and you grew up in the days of you know, the Hard Ease and the Dudley's and Edge and Christian and then all of the crazy ladder matches that we see nowadays. I mean, you'd watch that match and what But what it is is it's a it's a wrestling match with a ladder, and they had a great wrestling

match involving a ladder. It was all about it was all about the wrestling, it was all about the selling. It was all about the the build it to the big spots, and they had some creative spots and everything like that. But it is a it is a very very different kind of match than you know, what ended up being just you know, we're gonna build eighty five contraptions, and not to denigrate these matches because many of them

were great matches, but they're different. You know, the stunt show where we're just gonna do as many crazy things as we can and we will build to one really crazy thing at the end that will be the finish. But um, it was a very very cleverly done match. And uh in the finish where the ladder gets tipped over and Sean crotches the top rope and he gets his leg cot and he's dangling upside down so we can't even get out to climb the ladder to stop Scott Hall. I mean that was a that was a

great match. And they did the other one too, um, which is not as famous, and I didn't think it was as good, although some people did. But this person here says, uh, let's see Scott Hall. Uh, let's see. I've been watching w WF since I don't read all these sometimes. I didn't watching in w WF since the eighties. I knew of w c W in the mid nineties, but just thought that it was a place where guys went when w w E did not want them, and if w w WE didn't care about them, why should I?

Until Hall and Nash showed up changed the game and made me realize there was so much more good wrestling out there. You know, even in I feel there are a lot of people out there who don't realize there's a good wrestling out there outside of w w E. But you know what, there's a lot of it. Let's go to Canada. You're on the air. What's going on? Hey, how's it going? What's up? I'm just calling from candidate here.

Just wanted to share a Scott Hall moment. You know in the nineties that everyone there's that commercial be like Mike, but I wanted to be like Razor, And uh, it's just a really sad day right now. And like, remember he had a huge heart. Remember when he gave those kids they the front metal belt. I had aids on Jerry Springer. What a guy like. I know he had

his issues and whatnot. And like a lot of people, you know, really really gonna love him, and a lot of people are say what you want, you're gonna love him or hate him, like it was really bad backstage apparently, but I don't know, man, just a sad day. Well, I want to thank you very much for the call. And I was thinking about this this earlier as well.

That you know, Scott Hall had a lot of issues, and you know, sometimes when you're in the midst of a lot of issues, there can be a lot of you know, maybe I don't want to hang around with the guy so much. But when he wasn't in the midst of having serious issues, everyone said such great things about what a great guy he was, what a nice

guy he was. And you know one of the things that you know you could see publicly was I can't think of any time I ever heard of of Scott Hall like not wanting to put someone over, not wanting to help somebody out. He was always wanting to help people. And in the nineties, I mean, there were a lot of guys that they didn't want to do jobs, especially if they were a star. Never heard that about Scott Hall.

And there were times like I think it was with um was it Hector Hector Guards that might have been where Hector Guards have pinned, uh, Scott Hall on Nitro. And the point of this was they they did this every now and then, and uh, you know Kevin Nash with with Ray Mysterio and Hull Cogan with Kidman and they'd you know, they'd they get pinned, but they weren't putting anybody over. And you know, there's a difference between letting someone pin you and then putting that person over.

And you know, the thing with with Hector Garza, I mean I think it was like the first time that they had one of the big stars pinned by by one of the ender carters. I could have this wrong, but anyway, the point is, you know, he didn't really put over Hector Garza, Okay, but the difference is he would have put over Hector Garza and everybody everybody said that.

I mean, if there was gonna be an issue where you had a bunch of egos in the ring and they're all arguing and nobody wanted Holly would have just said, I'll do the I'll do the the funny silly job. He would have just done it because at the end of the day, and this goes back to what a charismatic guy he was. When you're a guy and you have that kind of chrisma and you have that kind of self confidence, you're okay putting people over because you know that you can get it back. You know that

you can get yourself over. You know that down the road. Uh no, it actually yeah. He put over Chris Jericho as well. So anyway, there were many people in wrestling that did not have the level of self confidence that Scott Hall did, and they didn't like putting guys over. And you know, if you ever watched Rick Flair, Rick Flair was a guy who you know it is in his personal life he had serious issues with self confidence. In the ring, he had no issues with self confidence,

and so that was the difference. If you're a guy who you know, you're not really a great worker, and you're not you know, you can have issues or you're afraid that that your spot will be taken if you if you do a job, if you're a guy who's not concerned about losing your spot, not concerned that you can get over, not concerned you'll you'll put anybody over. And and that was Rick Flair. Hit Flair. It was

even about putting people over. He would go to a town and face the local guy that nobody had ever heard of, and he would he would, you know, let this guy not necessarily put him over. He wasn't like the guys would win the title or anything like that, but he would give him everything in that match. And Hall was one of those guys who, you know, he always wanted to help. He always wanted to help the young guys. He didn't have that that I'm not putting

anyone over ego or anything like that. Things might have been different if he was really in the middle of something. But you know, in general, when he had his head on straight, I mean, everyone always had the nicest things to say about him and how he wanted to help people. Let's go to Philadelphia. You're on the Air's up. Hello, this is Brian Fincilly. Um, it's just uh yeah, I just wanted to tell a really cool Scott Hall story.

I don't know if too many people know this, but in two thousand one, he went to New Japan and he was wrestling and he was the whole tour. He was building up a match against Mudo. So he wrestled a young lion by the name him and he gives him the Razor's edge and then he grabs the mic and starts talking all this crap about Mudo and Taahashi pens him, which is like a young lion never pens any moment, especially a trout like that. But but but Scott Hall said, this kid's money. He was selling everybody

this kid's money. And Tanahasi became one of the all time great so he saw before before anybody. So he had definitely had a huge eye for talent. And and there's the interview with Tanahashi and he talked about how it meant you know, it was such a huge deal for him. Well, yeah, yeah, I want to thank you very much for the call. One of the first things I saw on Twitter today was Tanahashi sending out best wishes to Scott Halls. So yeah, he he would help people.

He had no problem helping people. He didn't have and and for a guy that in the nineties, I mean he was at the very, very very tippy top in terms of like, you know, the biggest superstars and most famous people in this business. He had no problem helping people. And in the nineties a guy at that level, there weren't a lot of them like that. In fact, most of the stories were the exact let's go to uh a brattel Borow. It could be wrong, but you're on

the go. All right, what's going on? Brian? It's from the old land line today, So shout out to the twitch homies. I wanted to quickly share my thoughts on Scott Hall. It's just such a bummer to hear the news and everything. Um, possibly one of the guys that had the greatest impact on the business without ever being a world champion, and just a heck of a worker.

I'm gonna probably have to go through on one of those old Michael's versus Razor Ramon ladder matches after this, because uh yeah, just an amazing worker, hell of a talent, and just a bumber to hear the news today. But yeah, I have a go on guys, all right, thanks so much for the call there, diggon from the old landline day can calling in. What else do we have here?

In the text message beIN ah. I'm a female fan new to wrestling only three years, cultivated by a W. I'm sad I barely got to explore matches by Scott Hall and just when I discovered his match with Sean I find out he's going to pass away a lot of great Scott Hall stuff. If you look around, there's a lot of a lot of good stuff out there, Brian. Anyway to play Scott Hall's rap from the Wrestle Rock ad don If you're listening Scott Hall rap from the

Wressell Rock ad see if you can find it. Well, you're busy editing my show for replay, let's see, Yes, Josiah telling the same story about Hall and Hiroshi Tanahashi. This person here, says Brian, I guess I skew a little older than some of the other listeners because my first memory of Scott Hall was the a W A. I loved his team with Kurt Hennig. I remember hearing on John or Resi's show that w c WS Diamond

stud with Scott Hall. Honestly could not reconcile that it was the same baby face with the Tom Selleck mustache that I remembered from after school on ESPN. I love how much of an outpouring of love there's been for Scott Hall in the last few days. One of the true greats, and the wrestling world will be worse off for losing him. For instance, I saw Scott Hall live March of Land Over Maryland, Diesel and Razor versus Double j Jeff Jarrett and Sean Michaels. Everyone looked great except Nash.

He phoned it in, but Razor got the loudest reaction of the night thinking of Scott Hall in his family today. I remember this person said I had the best of Russellmania VHS tape. Oh, here we go, brgging the show. Brian Elber is here, rustling observer alive. This person says, I remember I had the best of a WrestleMania VHS tape that had the Seaun versus Razor ladder match on. It was the match I rewatch more than any other, served as the template from my brother and I did

ladder matches in the backyard, Ulucies. Well, you know, I have to say here as a public service message, never try this at home. But if you happen to try it at home and you want to do some ladder matches, that's the match to watch because as far as ladder

matches go, it's safe and it's smart. And uh that's actually the best way to describe Scott Hall as he was safe and he was smart, very very smart worker, very very smart too to uh many aspects of this business, not the least of which was you got to know how to get yourself over. You gotta know how to get the other guy over. You have to know how to do a match without killing someone, and uh, and you have to entertain the people. What more? What more

would you want? Next? What Scott Hall was great at? So? Um that was from Ulysses right there. So yeah, I want to thank everybody who uh sent in messages here today. We can talk about this more tomorrow and you know we were we got the brilliant V show tomorrow Raw fourteen. So uh, these are the old school raws Razor was a part of. So we'll talk about him on the show's tomorrow as well. And final note, here this person says, I beg to differ about the Summer Slim Ladder match.

Remember hearing Hall and HPK were barred from using the Ladder's weapon. They had cleverly work around those limitations. And although it's finish isn't as good as Mania ten, it speaks of his genius and rings psychology to put a match like that together. I enjoyed the match a little more appealing back the curtain. Lots of love and respect for you, David Scott Hall and his family. Well, let's it, everybody.

I want to thank you all for listening today. All the best Michael's always callers and listeners over the studio, Twitch show me top tiers. We'll talk to you in an hour of Filthy Tom Wrestling Observer Live. You have been listening to the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network
