When Life Imitates Art Imitating Life: The Scott Hall Story
 

ESPN E60 is a wonderful show documenting powerful stories from around the sports world

such stories involve OJ Simpson, Michael Jordan to Vancouver's own Green Men

I've been a wrestling fan for a long time. It's sad to see this happen to such a storied career for Hall, but this is life. Whatever went wrong in between, he's dealing with it. What the intro said is true, his story is almost like the movie "The Wrestler"

for wutever reason the video wont embed properly

I used to watch wrestling when I was young, not anymore though.
It's a sad story, his life =(

The Outsiders :)

it doesnt even hurt... the guy just slides on his back :fuckthatshit:

damn.. sucks to see him like that

growing up, scott hall / razor ramon and hulk hogan were my heroes

nWo forever

i'm surprised scott hall isn't dead yet. he's been battling alcoholism and drugs for awhile now hasn't he? i remember watching a lot of videos before on youtube with kevin nash, x-pac and a few other of his old friends trying to get his life straightened out

wolfpack
:hat:

hey yo...

Ohhh man. I loved Razor in the 90s. One of my fave entrances

wow ....

"The Wrestler" was based on the life of Lex Luger apparently.

Razor Ramon is my favourite wrestler of all time.

Great short doc.
I watched Razor when he first entered the WWF...his ladder matches with Shawn Michaels were classics.

Wow, I watched him on tv as Razor... this is so sad.

Without a doubt, E60 is one of the best television programs on tv

That's pretty sad. Going from being a superstar to nothing but everyone in the wrestling business has access to the same things. It's up to the person to make the decision to go that route or take another one. He was definitely one of my favorite wrestlers of the time. The original NWO with hollywood, hall, and nash was the best thing in wrestling imo.

A lot of other kids used to do the toothpick flick when I was younger lol

was a huge fan of his, razor ramone may have been my favorite wrestler along with lex luger. sad that both had some shitty lives...90's wrestlers - u really had to love it. or be out of options to do it...super fucked up conditions

the 90's and early 2000's was the best era in wrestling, both WCW and WWF were baus

its sad to see the PG-13 crap we have today

i wish him nothing but the best. him mentoring his son may just be the thing that saves his life and his legacy.

his legacy is tarnished in my books
Same for the likes of Flair, Hogan, Kevin Nash

Kevin Nash was scheduled to a match with CM PUNK in september, but he didnt pass his physicals. When he was in the ring, he looked slow, and out of touch with the program(albeit, this CM PUNK guy is genius on the mic..)

Flair and Hogan are just so bloody fucking old they should just step out of the ring.

Ric Flair has battled the same demons that Scott Hall did, although not to that degree

Hogan, well... I honestly think the public eye on him and his family got to him. Though him and Kevin Nash are probably the most healthy ones out of the 4 guys i mentioned

Go google clips from this past weekend from the TNA ppv, Hogan vs Sting.. was garbage

I thought Flair was going to retire back when they had him on WWE, then seeing him on TNA, it is such a joke.
I understand the marketing aspect and why WWE and TNA would bring back these old timers, but at the same time all the years of being a wrestler has done havoc on most of them.
I loved Brett Hart, but seeing him on WWE now is a joke. Same thing with Hogan. They are much slower than before and because of it, just like Hall in that video, make wrestling look faker than ever.

I started watching wrestiling back in the early 80's, when it was still Maple Leaf Wrestling, Stampede Wrestling and the AMA. The '90's were definately the best years. I remember every time we'd go to Calgary I'd beg my parents to drive past the Hart house with all the rusty old rings outside. Now it's not even worth it to watch.

Beyond The Mat is another good watch for those interested in what goes on in the wrestling business - both with up and comers and has-beens.

Well that didn't last long

WWE is about to get better in the build for Rock's return at Survivor Series. Mick Foley is coming back too.. Both these guys are immune to the HORRENDOUS SHITTY writing and Vince McMahon's stupid ideas, so any shows built around them should be good.
