Scott Hall Shoot Interview - story about Bret Hart's house being a shrine to the Hitman

[@FloydCamel1990]

Scott Hall never sugar coats anything. He speaks his mind.

[@cabercabe677]

6:24 Brett Hart story.

[@riversider2506]

You're the REAL *MVP* 🤞 💯

[@useyouforfood]

That joke at the end caught me off guard.

[@boz987]

I have a Scott Hall action figure. It came with a mini squad car and two little arresting officers. It rocks!

[@eddiegfan22]

Now I am a Hitman fan but he does strike me as the type of person who would choose himself on a videogame

[@switchbuckle5th]

You read Bret's book and LIKED him afterwards? I was a fan of Bret and decided kind of on a lark to give his book a read...and I was appalled. He came across like a delusional, arrogant, egotistical bastard. He was just so in absolute love with himself it was disgusting.

[@StuUngar]

@MikeDesadario Yes it is. Having a wall, or even a room in your house devoted to your accomplisments...fine. Having a massive portrait above your bed where the first thing you see when u wake up is yourself in a Sgt Pepper jacket is plain creepy. You would think there'd be less pictures of Bret with his eagle belt, and more with him and Owen, him and Stu, him & the bulldogs, his family and friends. But as Scott Hall said, Bret is a different cat than most people.

[@hitmanhart670]

Thumbs up if you keeled over laughing at 9:47

[@dgenerate707]

He should damnear be a family friend the way he defended Owen at sheiks roast

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663]

Kudos to Scott Hall for that... 😎👍

[@samurairol2]

Razor Ramon! One of my favorite wrestlers...great interview.

[@BluntVendetta]

On June 13, 1971, Ox and his partner the Claw were wrestling in a AWA Midwest Tag Team Championship tag team match against Alberto Torres and his partner Cowboy Bob Ellis in Verdigre, Nebraska. Torres was injured during the match and died three days later. Though evidence indicated that Torres died of a ruptured appendix, Baker's Heart Punch was blamed and, though by his own account Baker was privately distraught over the death, he did "work" it as though he had killed Torres.

[@RPenta]

@drvn8 The term "SHOOT" interview has probably more than one meaning with Scott Hall.

[@juniorrok1]

@ 7:20 the story of Bret having the picture above his Bed LoL

[@8jamiebolar8]

Scott Hall is awesome.

[@temptationofmemories]

yes he's very straight talking about the people he liked and didn't, or the people he felt deserved their praise and the ones who were riding on others coattails. But he's got the know how to judge on that kind of thing and he's hardly the stiffest wrestler I've ever seen, he gives praise to those who were good and he has many funny stories and kind things to say about wrestlers as well as the negative ones, his HOF speech was almost entirely taken up with tales of other people he worked with.

[@EGarrett01]

@tncl85 I can't imagine a more clear test of character than whether you would let someone else be in your house or with your family while you are gone.

[@nickrericha2491]

"I don't drive because I will drink and drive." I still drink, but I'm 286 days since my last drive.

[@StuUngar]

@shawnvillain In an RF shoot interview, he openly admitted that he is an insecure person and he thought of himself less than what other people did. Shawn also mentions it in his book. SM said Nash & he were talking about a spot where Nash was gonna leapfrog Michaels. Hall butted in & said, "Diesel is the biggest guy in the company. Why would he avoid contact? But what do I know, I'm just a big dummy." Said they spent the next hour trying to convince Hall that he was right and he wasn't a dummy.

[@Musiclover19]

@illmciq By the way Stu Hart's whole house IS NOT called "the dungeon" just their basement where they trained wrestlers, NOT the whole Hart House. So you're wrong on two levels.

[@tomw8319]

LOL……great sense of humor. cracked up at end!

[@Stitchman3875]

I heard all about his book. I heard the Montreal Screwjob part was tame in comparison to the rest of it. I heard even talking about Owen's death, he still turned everything to talking about himself. I guess he loves himself more than anything else.

[@TheHappynot]

Hall should not talk he is a mark for himself. Its almost sad to watch him in the DDP KZbin vids. The guy walks around with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth still thinking he's fucking Razor Ramon. He also refers to things around the house as "gimmicks". Scott doesn't need any wrestling pictures on the wall because he's his wrestling persona in person. I mean come on he still has the toothpick that was a gimmick. Scott Hall the guy never walked around with a tooth pick it was an idea DDP had while he was the Diamond Studd. At least Bret Hart can separate the two and doesn't walk around his house in fucking Hitman sunglasses.

[@daw162]

How do you know that hall didn't chew a toothpick before?

[@TheHappynot]

he said it in rf video shoot

[@Dawg2005]

When you do something for years and years, it becomes habit. At least he's getting his shit together with DDP, and this interview is from 2010. Come on man, think for like two seconds lol

[@saltedllama2759]

They are all pretty much marks for themselves. Goldberg was one of the few who seems completely separated from the business, and admits he was merely a physical talent, not a creative, technical, or artistic one.

[@shawnmichealslazyeye5629]

Jason Colbeck True outside the ring he was himself, but I heard some shit that while in the ring and backstage, he straight up believed he couldnt be beat and was really taggin guys with those mma gloves he wore cause he didnt feel it. I think the worst mark for their own character is probably Hulk Hogan, and thats only because Hulk is Hulk, Terry died a long long time ago. Hes straight up incognito with the Hulkster, and I love it. Brother.

[@IYHWrestling]

@illmciq No, he clearly didn't mean that. He said Bret's house.

[@hw5091]

You know this shits true too, grand fucking champion of marks in the business. He can have that belt for his lifetime.

[@shockwavecg]

True, sad but true. I read his book hoping to take his side on the whole Montreal thing, but after getting halfway through I was so disgusted with him and his self-centered attitude and his cheating on his wife while she was pregnant I gave it back. Finished it later, and felt bad for all he went through with his stroke and family and all, but it's convinced me he's a terrible person who thinks he's a god.

[@Antrizzle2009]

@DjFreshpac Bret did have a huge following in Europe I can attest to that. They did sold out tours with him as the headliner. In England and Germany in particular, you could argue he was bigger than Hogan. They LOVE them some Bret. And Canada goes without saying.

[@Musiclover19]

@illmciq No he CLEARLY said the room Bret and his wife at the time slept, therefore it was CLEARLY Bret's own house.

[@TuleeMaster]

Are you ribbing me. Lol, hilarious without even tryna be funny.

[@BXmuffslayer]

Any athlete who has traveled the world many times over should keep all of their Merchandise for memory sake. Bret like many Wrestlers get tons of stuff given to them by fans and wrestling promotions all the time. but for Bret's sake, he probably kept it all for when he retired so he could remember his glory days.

[@lionkiller7]

Shot if I had the money and fame I'd have a portrait of myself on every wall in the house

[@tomw8319]

this is from 2010…..YEARS after the "clique" and it didn't seem like Hall was mocking him out of hate…..just stating a feeling he had about someone having a possible ego.

[@CSick27]

i dont need a computer because i know a guy in new york. awesome logic.

[@switchbuckle5th]

And yet if you read his book Bret's thoroughly convinced that people loved him more than Hulk Hogan himself in the late 80s.

[@Freddyphelp]

6'1 or 6'2? I don't think he was even billed as that height. Most wrestlers are a couple of inches smaller than their billed height, likewise with the billed weight, he is probably 5'11" I reckon.

[@SDG.12]

lol hall, nash and hbego lol its like a wild teen house party spinning out a control while the parents are away

[@TheShadowBrigade]

A lot of famous people tend to do it... it is not exclusive to Bret. Two famous examples are Hogan (see Hogan Knows Best) & Gene Simmons (See Gene Simmons Family Jewels).... but you hear Wrestlers & Rock Stars talking about this kinda their collections all the time.

[@StuUngar]

@ElWiiTard If I were Hulk, I'd sue too. I saw that commercial one morning before Hulk filed the lawsuit & the first thought that entered my head was, "That's meant to be Hulk Hogan." If that's what the company intended, then that company knowingly used Hulks likeness without his permission. In order for it to be "Fair Use," the wrestler in the commercial would have to have features not exclusive to the Hulk Hogan character..ie, tights, muscles, or any feature that any other wrestler may have

[@SeanMBryans]

Baker is noted for having 2 men die during or after a match with him - one died after a match of a pancreas problem and the other should never have been in the ring to begin with. Although some historians lay claim to the Heart (Hurt) Punch - That has never been documented or proven. I like the bored 'em to death factor, though.

[@claudias1871]

yes scott a shrine to the king

[@Stitchman3875]

I saw that in a video he made. I was like "Wow, just wow!!" I just heard that in a book, he talked about staring at himself in the mirror for a half hour. I guess he just loooves himself. Funny thing is I heard Owen was actually a nice guy, and very humble. So I guess all the ego goes on Bret. LOL

[@GetToZahChopper2]

whats wrong with having ur own shrine though ???

[@drvn8]

@bookerman16 well, at least he is able to take his eyes off of himself for a few and appreciate the people around him without immediately seeing them as a threat to him. sure hall has his faults, but if you listen to his interviews, he seems to have something good to say about everyone.

[@Dirtydeff]

To hear this isn't a surprise cause I think most people know just how serious Bret was about his Hitman character and wrestling in general. I completely understand where Scott is coming from but in my opinion to talk about somebody like that is kinda in poor taste after they were nice enough to invite you in to their home. I just wouldn't have brought that up publicly.

[@tonyd7601]

Dirtydeff Hall is very sincere in his tone and he's very well argued. Not trying to change your point of view. I noticed malice in Hall and he's very clear and a good illustration.

[@hw5091]

sgt pepper over his bed.

[@draconian45]

@TheShootTruth10 My friends have met them both and have said the exact same thing.

[@jakethemuss3]

Maybe so, but still doesn't change the fact that Bret takes himself way too seriously.

[@drvn8]

@DjFreshpac good point. but i just mean i don't feel comfortable simply taking hart's word for it when he is telling a story about a guy he doesn't like. he says he lost his last bit of respect for hall when he saw that incident with that kid. it's more likely that he never offered his respect for hall because he saw him as a threat. thinking he is too good does not seem to be a problem of hall's. i know people who said they met hall... some said he's an ass... some said he's fantastic

[@drvn8]

@DjFreshpac okay... we clearly disagree. i believe this story by scott hall.

[@Stitchman3875]

That pissed him off quite a bit.

[@MikeDesadario]

@StuUngar is it egocentric to be proud of being a five time wwf champion?

[@tavitorock2431]

hes not too wrong about this

[@ToruKun1]

Knowing how much of a mark Bret is for himself, I'm not surprised.

[@RubberClits]

Hahahaha the interviewer had the worst case of the giggles.

[@RPenta]

@DjFreshpac I am sure Bret did his share of "partying" but at least, Razor, Bret's house is not a crack house.

[@GenXtasy]

Sgt Peppers jacket. LOL

[@Freddyphelp]

@samus33529 He wasn't really criticizing him to be fair. Hall has achieved more than you ever will so by the same logic you are in no position to criticize him, ever.

[@emancipateyourself]

"i dont drive, cuz . . . u know me ill drink and drive. so i dont drive" spoken like a true alcoholic. All jokes aside tho, Razor Ramon was my all time fav wrestler.

[@lemurdue]

Yeah, it's probably not healthy when you can't separate yourself from a fictional character you play when the cameras go off. I can see how it would wreck havoc on his marriage and strain his relationship with his family.

[@RealKingofMS]

Most of my comment was lost but if you read Bret's book you can't help but like the guy and it is a fun read. Scott may be bitter because Bret calls him out on being a lame wrestler.

[@drvn8]

@DjFreshpac i always liked bret's ring work... he's one of the greats... in his era, i'd say no one could touch him, save shawn michaels and randy savage. as for character, i'd say hall is ahead of bret. he got over huge in the two top companies without anything near the push hart got. if you mean personal character, i guess it depends on what you are looking for. bret was always dedicated to his profession... in terms of an employee, bret is more dependable.

[@shawnvillain]

Scott as good of a wrestler he was, I get the idea that he never cared about being the top guy in any company. He was just fine being apart of a group in wcw, and ok with just the mid card in wwe- you wont find a picture of Scott in gear moreso because he was more about the money than the sport-

[@jargandargan]

who wouldn't choose himself in a videogame?

[@shockwavecg]

He really did and it's just...*groan* I know he was a good wrestler & well-liked in the locker-room, but man the guy just made me sick to my stomach. I could go on for a long time about this book, but I'll just say when he was in India and all those kids were cheering for him, the way he writes it...he not only believes all his own hype, but he wrote about how they cheered him and worshiped him like a god, and I think he beleived it himself. It was unsettling to say the least.

[@TopshelfProductionsLLC]

I think his O key is broken...

[@JavnaGolina]

It's clear bret is really up himself. It's obvious in his book. I don't care. He was still an amazing worker and has a great mind for the business.

[@drvn8]

@tlee05fish2lee as for shawn and bret... why only blame shawn for having 2 main events with hart. hart was gone from april - november of 1996. and you think shawn screwed vince by not doing what vince needed to be done?

[@timechildec]

@ontheroof99 Yes The Undertaker is pretty close to Bret. Whenever the Montreal Screwjob happened, Mark Calaway (aka The Undertaker) kicked Vince's door in. That's what I read, at least.

[@MikeDesadario]

@RealDeal336 and maybe if razor ever had the world title (wcw or wwf) he may feel differently. i like scott hall, and i think hes a great speaker and fun to listen to. but bret is the best of all time, and it even took me years to see that and admit it.

[@zoso7889]

@NiceVideos11 To have original thoughts onthe issue you would have to know the man personally. All anyone can do is weigh evidence. From what many credible people have said Bret was a mark for himself. Survivor Series is a perfect example

[@Antrizzle2009]

@DjFreshpac Actually, not sure if you knew this but WCW had a working deal with New Japan back in the 90's and the nWo went over there a few times and were huge. It wasn't just about Hogan either. Hall more fans than you might think, just saying. I agree he wasn't as big as Bret, but he wasn't some jabroni either.

[@drvn8]

@tlee05fish2lee shawn dropped the belt to sid and dropped it to austin as well. he only forfeited the world title once. vince wasn't planning on putting the belt on bret. remember he won at the free4all ppv and dropped it to sid the next night. if bret was supposed to beat shawn at wm13 and get another run, why didn't he get the belt at wm anyway?

[@drvn8]

@bigdog1180 if you ever listen to scott hall talk about his career or the business, you would realize how untrue your statement is.

[@jakethemuss3]

Bret is known to have the biggest ego in wrestling history. Not surprised his house was like this.

[@MikeDesadario]

its my occupation, its my passion, its my love... but its not who i am- WHAT? MAYBE IT SHOULD BE

[@MikeDesadario]

People love to collect toys, posters, games, videos, etc of other people, like wrestlers. Imagine there were these things of yourself? Are you telling me you wouldn't have all of them, and on display, especially since they were all new at the time? And we are talking about Bret here: a guy who loves to draw cartoons in his free time. He is comfortable liking himself. I don't see anything negative about this.

[@RealKingofMS]

make a great wrestler. Unlike Scott, Bret loves wrestling as a fan first but also has understanding and respect for the fact that it is the livelihood of his family and friends. Ii thought his book was honest and entertaining as well as informative. I

[@JTSmith-z1l]

@jakethesnakerobertz1 Dont really know, remember this is coming from internet so i dont know if its serious or not. I am guessing Randy won, simply cause Scott was drunk all the time, but thats just me.

[@delirous8]

@bookerman16 i agree i mean watch MTV Cribs

[@dakliq420]

@ontheroof99 besides bret should have done the job at survivor series plain and simple if you are leaving the company you drop the belt in your last match...thats the rule

[@phREaker419]

I wonder on a left field point, since wrestling seems to be so different in Japan as it's considered more of a sport over there, handing out trophies and presents left and right after you've won a hard fought championship match, would we be justified to say those guys are huge marks for themselves? Maybe Bret would have been more taken serious over there if that's where he spent most of his career. Since it's just a SHOW here, even though people are crippled or dead today from wrestling.

[@daniel3786]

i believe Scott, it's common knowledge that Bret was a huge mark for himself, took himself and wrestling too seriously, pretty much thought wrestling was real and he really ''won'' championships, no surprise his house is full of his stuff and belts.

[@temptationofmemories]

I think all wrestlers have to be somewhat of a mark for themselves I mean how is anyone supposed to take them seriously, if they're not serious about themselves and what they do. They need to be able to convince people that they are worth it. So yes Bret probably is somewhat full of himself when it comes to the wrestling art but he's not just running on a solely high opinion of himself, but also others who think or feel they had their best matches with him.

[@dakliq420]

scott hall would be a great booker if he would just straighten up

[@daniel3786]

@NiceVideos11 Bret and Shawn, from many sources, were not good people in the 90's. The difference in their character flaws was that Shawn never seemed to deny he was an asshole. He did jobs when needed and yes he probably protested them but it was Vince's final say. Bret still, to me, has this opinion of himself as a fucking saint. Bret had creative control over his contract and used it just like Hogan and Austin had, I feel Bret let his own "pro wrestling character" get to his head.

[@tlee05fish2lee]

What's the deal with the hall n hart marks? Hall actually likes Bret n is one of the guys who cut great shoots. He's honest n isn't bitter towards anyone. I will agree with some of you guys. 1) Triple H doesn't know talent! Back in the day WWE would pick gems that WCW dropped-Jericho, Austin, Benoit, Guerrero, etc...now it's the opposite. Now its flipped, Pope dangelo dinero n Christian r two examples of what HHH influence has caused... 2) taker has no beef with hart. He has the utmost respect

[@MikeDesadario]

@oneupyoass530 yeah thats not true i read the book over and over he just tells it like it is

[@DUBtheTIGER]

At the same time, the business was different then. Those heels in the 80s knew they weren't going over Hogan. That's just how things worked, they were just happy that they got a Hogan-match paycheck. But if I could change things, I'd have had Hogan lose to Andre, Savage beat Andre, beat Hogan at WM 5, then have Hogan win the belt back at 6 (fuck the Warrior). However, Hogan was a great "worker". It's not about how technical you are, it's about how well you engage the audience.

[@drvn8]

@DjFreshpac as far as a friend... i can only say from what i have listened to and read about... but hands down, i'd take hall. he seems to have a good heart and would give the shirt off his back to someone in need without expecting anything in return. bret seems too busy making a big deal of himself. i'm sure bret would like to think that hall read his book, but i doubt that he did. i'm not saying hall was not an ass to a fan... i'm just saying bret probably took liberties to exaggerate.

[@drvn8]

@THEMrFill you're wrong... he has a lot of credibility. he worked with these guys for years. he is not saying he is any better than anyone either. stop trying to discredit him simply because you don't like what he says. he knows more about these wrestlers than you ever will... if you don't like what he has to say about them, that is just too bad for you.

[@billhicks2014]

SCOTT HALL = GREATEST I/C CHAMP EVA

[@Kingjd87]

Scott Hall is a chill ass dude...He didn't mean any harm to Bret, he just speaks his mind. Calm down fucking Bret marks. IS Bret your dad?? CALM DOWN!

[@Antrizzle2009]

The truth is, he's not saying anything that tons of guys have said about Bret. Bret is one of those guys who always took this business perhaps a little too seriously. That's not to say that other guys didn't live and breath it, but Bret took it a little too far at times. I'm not even referring to what Scott is talking about. But anytime I see a Bret video and he's bitching about Shawn or bitching about his title reigns, its the first thing that comes to mind.

[@dakliq420]

@bigdog1180 not really scott never cared about being a top star he was contempt at being where he was everybody knows that.and he wasnt ripping bret he was just making a statement

[@drvn8]

@yungking216 me too my man...

[@TSKewl]

lol the bad guy always talks shit! i love listening to interviews with him.

[@shockwavecg]

H'm. Well I don't know, that's what I got out of it, you got something different, so I don't know. I know you're supposed to put yourself over, that's the whole point of an autobiography, but it just sat wrong with me. I read Shawn Michaels' book and he put everyone else over as well as ate a lot of humble pie, and with Bret's it was like reading a narcicist's (sp) daily journal. Sorry if you're a Bret Hart fan and all I'm doing is bashing him - I like the Hitman, just not the man playing him.

[@drvn8]

@DjFreshpac according to bret... like he never had an agenda

[@undisputedgreatest]

Big deal! Who doesn't have that portrait above their bed? I have like three of those in my house. Bret Hart is the man. I do like Scott Hall though.

[@dakilla5105]

You can say Bret was a better in ring worker for sure but Scott hall was Damn good also, and when it comes to promos and charisma Scott hall wins that battle. But to say Scott hall was as dedicated to the business as Bret would be incorrect, Bret Hart was champion because people loved the hit man there is no doubt about that, I seen where someone said "Bret needed the championship to get over" but that's not the way it works. The crowd will let you know who they want their champion to be, that's how a champion is made not The other way around. Bret Hart was a great wrestler/in ring worker. But Scott hall portrayed the razor Ramon character perfectly. So when it's all said and done Bret was the better wrestler but Scott hall was the better entertainer. When razor walked out of the curtain he was razor until he walked back through the curtain. You could really believe he was razor Ramon because he was that good at portraying his character. And when Bret Hart was in the ring wrestling no one could touch his in ring work except the show stopper Shawn Michaels

[@jmi84]

I cant believe people are arguing about scott hall and bret hart? i mean scott is no where near bret hart. If someone likes him better than bret fine but to say bret is only a tad bit more popular than bret is crazy. Anyway Bret is going to be in staten island ny on april 16th 2011. Cant wait to see him.

[@MikeDesadario]

@RealDeal336 back then titles meant something, even though they are fake (no shit). fuck man i dont even know who the edge is. pro wrestling after 1998 is a joke, and i wont hear otherwise.
