Cultaholic Wrestling Podcast 217: What Is Your Favourite Scott Hall Memory/Moment?

[@MasterSartorius]

My favorite Scott Hall moment is very personal. I met him and told him he was one of my all time favorites as a child and he's partially the reason I became a professional wrestler. Then he shook my hand, and asked me what my name is. I told him and immediately he said "Don't ever change that. It's perfect." From there he proceeded to go all the way in telling me the dos and don't in and out of the ring. Before I knew it, we were having a good laugh and he was telling me how he met Sean Waltman. He treated me as if he knew me for years and we just met that day. His personality was just so larger than life and yes while we all have our personal demons that lurk in our lives, I met him after he triumphed over most of them. If you don't have problems, you're not human. But to overcome them makes you a hero. Scott was that hero.

[@codygoodson]

Thats amazing

[@GespaantAnEntspaant]

It has been also stated elsewhere that he seemed to be just that kind of professional, as soon as he saw you as one of them, he poured all the knowledge and passion unto others.

[@FrenchVersion]

I pop o hi h. Ion and we have to go

“You want a war, You’re gonna get one.”The quote that changed wrestling.

[@joeywrestling9536]

The slap nuts guitar is priceless, Ross!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 On a completely serious note, Scott Hall’s passing hit me harder than any other, even Roddy Piper. This was a true piece of my childhood passing away. He and I had so many similarities…. Battling demons. I think that’s why he appealed to so many; most of us know what it’s like to struggle in that way. RIP Bad Guy 😭🙏🏼❤️

[@adamlennard1828]

So many, arriving on Nitro. Him and Nash laughing at Sid and his half the brain you do line. His selling of the stunner at WM18. The hall of fame speech.

[@furthausen]

My brother went from a Hulkamaniac to a bad guy over night. He got in trouble at school for starting a fight. The principal told my mom "The fight started when your son threw a toothpick at another student" R.I.P. Scott Hall

[@Joe90h]

did he ever spraypaint his initials on anybody's back? Because at that point he probably should have not been allowed to watch wrestling until he at least got a gimmick of his own.

[@furthausen]

@@Joe90h No. We both were banned from watching. Until Mom watched again, and fell in love with HBK

[@Elpezidente]

Hey yo, lots of great options for a best Scott Hall moment, my favourite was the match with Bret at the Royal Rumble!

[@chrisyanover1777]

Many people will disagree with me but my best Scott Hall moment was his call with DDP and Jake when Scott was at his lowest moment. As a man who struggles with his sobriety, this moment hits really home with me. It helps remind me of when I hit bottom and I wish their was more videos of me at rock bottom to remind me never to go back to that life. Most people don't want to talk about Scott's demons but Scott always talked about them and has been such an inspiration to me in me fighting my demons and battling my sobriety! I always wanted to meet Scott Hall to tell him what a inspiration he was to me. I loved him in wrestling but his fall and redemption was so so inspiring to me! I have a feeling Scott Hall would want to know that it really helped someone like me. God bless you Scott Hall!

[@TheKyoput]

My top 3 1)Shawn/razor ladder match 2)His first night on Nitro 3)The sheer fun he seemed to have with DDP as Diamond Stud

[@DarylSpykerman]

Ross needs to have a weekly footy show. Love his enthusiasm!

[@StillChewy]

The video keeps telling me there's no connection but it only happens for this video. Anyone else getting this error?

[@tynwa4738]

Me too I’m getting the same error

[@tynwa4738]

Maybe they took it off

[@spluddrott]

It keeps repeating bits for me

[@Steeldragon493]

Okay I thought I was the only one, every time I try to cast this it doesn't load, and now just trying to access it on my app without casting it's still not loading in

[@StillChewy]

So it works on my PC but not my phone?

[@drodrigues3188]

Underrated comment “Maffew: “the Friday curse continues, they’re HIRING people” 😂😂

[@Nbflowers1989]

Loved/ hated Scott Hall when I was a kid. Even though I hated him because he was a bad guy, I still remember thinking that he was "so coooool." When he grabbed the mic, I listened. He broke my heart by tazing Goldberg and ending the streak. Wrecked me. Rest in Peace, Scott Hall. You have earned it.

[@gavinhirst3136]

The Scar story reminds me of Steve Mandanda, the French Goalkeeper, his brother is called Parfait, which in French baby name terms means "Perfect". Their parents named one child Steve, and the other Perfect 🤣👌

[@michaell874]

I think his funniest line came when he returned to the WWE and said, “We’re not the bad guys”!

[@varrenkimbold]

2:12:00 Maffew that's because Zordon told the Power Ranger to never escalate a conflict unless the enemy did, it's clearly stated in the rules of the show. this has been your pedantic Power Rangers lore moment for the week. to return whenever Power Rangers is brought up again.

[@MzAki0]

I had the same displeasure of also getting tricked to go on that Aerosmith roller coaster. Went with family, my cousin wanted to ride it with someone, I got told "it's fine, it doesnt spin or anything". I went. I was not fine. I had my glasses on and I did in fact spin and go upside down and went 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds

[@JagerLange]

"Me and you doing ODB" *doubletake*

[@Cirrus5005]

Haven't commented on these in a while and would love to sit and timestamp every single point I laughed at, but instead let's keep it to "Thank you and please keep doing what you're doing!" The Cultaholic Rumble was phenomenal because commentary do such a stellar job of filling the audience in on who's who. It was legitimately better than this year's Rumble.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Fitting intro, fellas!

[@deadbydefiance9341]

Jack made Maffew shave his head with the Charles Manson comment lol 😆

[@ryanh.6487]

Perfect intro

[@thefiggamehunt6946]

Half way thru so far and this is a bloody fun listen this week, always is but this has that little extra to it

[@ThePete1081]

I still remember his 1st raw match with 123 kid. Back in the day pretty much the schools show was sqwatch matches against jobbers, except maybe the main event. Razor losing shocked this 10yo kid. That feud turned alliance was great.

[@chrisyanover1777]

Glad you guys did a shout out to OSW review! Amazing podcast and glad you respect that channel!

So I remember clearly when. Scot hall first got put into the HoF, j thought he was dead, so I happily surprised when I saw him and that last line of his speech really got me.

[@richardburke8181]

Outsiders vs Harlem heat is my all time favorite match

[@matthewfrench1556]

Demon Waifu would be a great name for a new tag team, like Danhausen and Abadon maybe??

[@BigSavEats]

Ross' take on NXT UK was spot on 😂

[@cousinchris802]

I choose to believe that Veer's announcement that the gym is closed is a reference to Bluto from the 1980 Popeye film. "It's 9 o'clock! Curfew! LIGHTS OUT!"

[@djtwister1424]

Hey @Cultaholic just a note about Lucas Radebe it's not Radabe but Ra Deh Beh. So cool to see his name in your podcast.

[@RoringRiver]

"Maybe like when I was a tiny child" What do you mean Jack, you still are!

[@jonatangeisser2526]

The Richard lariot poem was quite fancy

[@spluddrott]

I don't have a favourite moment It's more I enjoyed hearing him talk about the business in any capacity He was insightful and had a good eye for seeing talent in someone lower than him on the totempole

[@bornturnerdead]

Repeatedly waiting till Maffew is JUST about to speak before dropping another fact about Home Alone 3 😂😂 Poor Maffew!

i tuned out of king ross since you guys left whatculture and im looking at ross beard like wow.what a journey we've all been on eh? life is crazy like that sometimes strive and prosper

Jack: That famous basketball player, Andre the Giant.

[@mw66683]

When he interrupted a match in progress to introduce himself (thumbnail) - so disrespectful to the other wrestlers (lol), but a classic bad guy move.

[@Joe90h]

In all fairness television matches in the 90s were typically bottom carders or jobber squashes until the Monday night wars started proper. The crowd knew this, and the wrestlers themselves knew this. You'd get some important story moments like promos or segments though.

[@codymb15]

I've come to the conclusion that the reason people think of the Undertaker over Austin is because his Hot One's episode came out more recently.

[@soggyhydrox]

Pete Dunne is Butch because Ridge Holland's real name is Luke so it's Luke and Butch like the Bushwackers

[@awatson3367]

Billy Gunn, well into his 50s, outran Jungleboy in the first Casino Battle Royale, where they were in the same group but JB was supposed to get to the ring first: he's talked about how Billy was just too quick 😂

Regal’s “real voice” isn’t really a Blackpool accent, he was born in the Midlands, not far from Wolverhampton. He’s billed from Blackpool as that’s where he trained and is the “wrestling capital” of the UK. I’d imagine his accent is an amalgam of lots of places he’s been.

[@daviddiett2168]

If you're having problems trying to load the video, if you can, turn the quality down to 360p, for some reason this is the only way it seems to work on my end. Something must have gone wrong with uploading and processing HD quality or something.

Still not even working on 144p, doesnt load on desktop either.

[@daviddiett2168]

@@IowaContact That's strange, I reloaded it to look at your reply and it seems to be running and loading okay for me up to 1080p50HD now, try reloading it again and hopefully it'll work for you eventually.

I'm surprised Maffew didn't remember Butch Patrick from the Simpsons ep where Apu and Manjula have the octuplets. Homer rides a little bike around with him on his back as they try to avoid cobras. It's slightly past PEAK SIMPSONS (Season 11) I guess. ALSO another Tiny Rebel purchase influenced by Ross as I told my mate who loves sour things and he got some to try it out.

[@ABCDG13]

My personal favorite Scott Hall moment was right after the Outsiders appeared in WCW, they shot Rey Mysterio into the side of a production trailer like a dart after they caught him mid-air out of the air after leaping at them! Or how about this one, after Rey lost a mask versus hair match, they forced him to unmask, they then told him to please put his mask back on! I’m still laughing about that one over twenty years later! Ha! Ha! Ha!

[@VillaFanDan92]

I laughed so hard at Geordie Charles Manson.

[@MrTheSmurf]

Such a terrible idea to listen to this while in Aldi. Trying not to look like a complete psychopath bursting out laughing in the frozen food isle

😭Jack casually being Kyle Oreilly and striking the table at 2:37:05 is priceless

[@castsmeteor3]

Maffew thank you for referencing TOOL :)

[@yourdashingheroidol7909]

It makes you think of just how much genius has been ruined over the history of mankind due to personal substance abuse demons. I know some conquer the demons and unfortunately alot don't. But even those who do, there is a place in time , often years and years before being able to gameplan to beat them. Prime years of so many amazing performers, wether musicians....actors... wrestlers.. performers who showed so many flashes of brilliance,but imagine how many more there would have been in those lives and especially the lives of those who could never conquer their issues. The Hendrix and Joplin's and Belushi and Farleys etc. The power of being engaged and entertained is a special thing. Appreciate these performers and those moments because all parties eventually end.......yet indeed, THE Bad guy, not all bad guys, live forever.

Planet Fitness is 24 hours throughout the week, but closes 9 on Fridays and 7 over the weekend. Can someone please explain the logic behind that bullshit? That said, 25 bucks a month with unlimited 'bring a guest' passes is pretty good value, despite the lack of free weights.
