Scott Hall - What Bret Hart was Like to Wrestle in WWF

[@TitleMatchWrestling]

RIP to the late-great Scott Hall Stream the Full Shoot Interview (2007) ➡titlematchnetwork.com/wrestling-shoot-interviews-results/

[@glocksNgrippers]

Scott had one of the greatest wrestling minds in the business. He also had no problem putting anyone over or whether he was a champion or not. He had a mind for the business and knew how to change with the times. RIP.

[@roninmarketingproductions]

He was the man

[@kingrowla]

agreed, really interesting perspective on Brett and his WWF taped vignettes. I didn't think about it like that but he convinced me maybe I was not looking at the whole picture here.

[@Kawlinz]

He would probably work a deal with a concession stand worker "Hey when I go for this grab, you roll me back and get the 3, I'll deal with the repercussions in the back and tell him it was my fault" "Scott? You know I'm not a wrestler, right?" "Yeah but you'll be a legend in the stands forever! Everyone's gonna want your nuts"

[@Punchable-Face]

Very underrated. It's such a shame we don't have him for today's creative writing team. Cause they suck, so does the acting in today's wrestling.. It's just terrible.

[@glocksNgrippers]

@@Punchable-Face i couldnt agree more. I very seldom watch wrestling now but I did in the 80s up to around 2007 or so and yes we need creative people to come up with good storylines. Scott Hall was a genius. I think maybe Arn Anderson or Scott Steiner could come up with some good stuff if given the chance.

[@bitsnbobs1107]

Scott is very interesting to listen to and clearly very intelligent. RIP Scott Hall

[@oneearrabbit]

Your comment reminded me of when I met Scott Hall at Hogan’s Beach Shop. I told him he was one of my all-time favorite wrestlers and Scott said “Well, you’re obviously an intelligent guy with great taste in wrestlers” 😂 RIP Scott Hall

[@deRoyLight]

He's very intelligent and always comes across as a good guy, even if he had his demons.

[@davidmatthews1710]

Still very sad we lost him. My favorite bad guy. 🙏🙏

[@soulofanerd9364]

Maaaan this guy was SO SHARP...brilliant mind for the business. When he said "some guys matches were entertaining enough the announcers could talk about other stuff" Booker T immediately came to mind. That is awesome that Scott would talk to guys like this behind the scenes. Booker and Bret had that in common even though Booker was also good on the mic in addition to his ring skill. Then of course Benoit, Guerrero and Jericho all fit that bill as well. Scott should have been a booker or head creative for some promotion....r.i.p.

[@herbythechef7624]

Hall wouldve been a better booker than Nash IMO

[@doubles7533]

Bret vs 1-2-3 Kid is still one of my favorite matches of all time

[@alwaysamysteryyes2021]

It's Kid's favorite too.

[@aghostsreflection8598]

Scott seemed like such a cool dude. I love how he is so positive in this interview, and seems so genuine too. And even when he had the opportunity to bury someone (Russo), he refused to comment and even went above and beyond and complimented what he did like about the guy. I know Scott gets a bad rap sometimes, but he is straight up class in this video.

[@darryltanasychuk]

What a series of eloquent, thoughtful responses. Really highlights what an emotional, intelligent, business-savvy individual he is. I was impressed with him by this clip.

[@Adrian-X1]

I liked Bret. He's literally the wrestler that made me a WWF fan growing up in the 80s. Straight to the point and awesome wrestler imo!

[@DabsDad]

his tag team with Jim the Anvil was one of the greatest of all time

[@HurriShane00]

That's an amazing point about how they can talk about other matches and story lines while a match is going on because they are so good in the ring it's just great to just watch the match and listen to the commentary and they don't need to do the play-by-play for the match. That's an excellent point Scott made

[@scottsacala]

The biggest missed opportunity in WCW was not letting him just wrestle. You had guys like Jericho, Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, Mysterio, etc. We were lucky to have him get a match with Benoit and Booker T. All those guys were some of the best in-ring wrestlers in the business at the time.

[@newjerseyballer]

i just watched Perry Saturn make his debut in WCW on Peacock. incredible wrestler. he destroyed Disco Inferno with an array of holds. And everything he did was so smooth.

[@via_negativa6183]

Yeah they are wrong about it being his fault not getting over basically only good match he had was against benoit (best match I ever saw in wcw in fact.) He should have been booked in fueds with all the top guys and it never happened then wcw went down the toilet.

[@RealHomeRecording]

They didn't let the big boys play.

[@pc8679]

Scott Hall truly understood the business

[@nonope2207]

This really tells you a lot about Scott. You could tell he was a little offput by Bret calling the shots in their matches and saying if he'd had more time he wouldn't have allowed it to happen, and the interviewer throws in a "Do you think he's overrated like Flair says?" and Scott immediately cuts that off. Why? Because Scott can disagree with something and still not be a hater. Too many other wrestlers just can't get over themselves and become full on haters for the dumbest of reasons.

[@bastih.5264]

Plus: At that time (January 1993) it was the right move by Hart. Hall was relatively fresh in the WWF and Hart was the champion. And Hart knew how to put over other wrestlers and make them look good. Actually these guys should've had an angle in later years when they were fully "seasoned".

[@KolossusB]

Most of the kliq very much respected Bret, and liked working with him. Nash had nothing but great things to say about working with him as well. Really it was only Shawn that had the problems with him. But the rest of the kliq all as workers saw him for exactly what Bret was. A very easy guy to have great matches with. They never had to sweat a thing with him. They'd be making money, and be getting taken care of with the highest level of skill.

[@ShinobiAFC]

​@@KolossusBAnd tbf, even Shawn said that Bret was a brilliant worker (and vice versa), even when the relationship was crumbling. It's a damn shame they weren't able to get past their issues.

[@Soon2B30]

Plus, most wrestlers were just meatheads, former FB or other sports and weren’t the sharpest minds. Scott Hall was a wrestling genius who got caught up with the dark side of wrestling.

[@nunyabidness3429]

nuance is just a bad word these days. If you simply disagree or don't like something people just take it as you are shitting on that thing they like. Bro I can not like something, it's still objectively good. That's all it is, it's an opinion. But people are just modernly in the camp of: "It's either THIS or THAT nothing in between." Which is a remedial mind-set.

Bret didn't need a microphone. WCW should have had Bret Hart vs Hogan. That's what the fans wanted.

He came in at a bad time. The fans wanted Hogan vs Sting first and that feud should’ve lasted 6 months since it was the culmination of the nWo vs WCW and Sting turning his back on WCW over War Games 96

Love hearing Scott talk, such a sound mind and love for the business. Kind of don't agree with the announcers talking about other things during matches though. Used to bug me back then. They're there to talk about the action, use the interlude for talking and hyping up other things.

[@codeman494]

Explaining why announcers talk about other matches and all these guys being technically sound and asthetically pleasing is actually very interesting. I miss this man

[@jackieparmz]

Interesting to see this again, cause Scott went back and forth on his opinion of Bret throughout the years. There are instances of him saying he wasn’t that impressed by Bret and that he felt Bret was overrated, but at other times he comes off as very reverential of what Bret accomplished. It’s always come off to me as him being loyal to friends of his who Bret has had legitimate heat with, and depending on what had happened in the world of wrestling drama at any given time, Scott would kinda tailor his opinion to that moment. Such an interesting and complicated dude, was Scott.

[@oogabooga1023]

I never thought of Bret matches like that it makes sense. Scott broke it down perfectly.

[@Levity635]

I love Scott, but some of these comments are quite silly. Bret was a phenomenal heel in 97 coming into WCW & his mic work had advanced quite a bit by that point. Bret was white hot at the time WCW got their hands on him, & they brought him in as a fucking referee. Also with the way WCW & the NWO angle was being run at that time, maybe they should have changed the stupid constant runs ins & comedy & lack of wrestling & concentrated on the wrestling aspect.

[@briangaar]

Well said!

[@JADub87]

Agreed 110%. 💯

[@e_d_unknown]

I think people overlook the way Bret sold the product on the mic. His serious demeanor alone made you think he wasn't messing around so when he dropped a few cuss words in his pipe bombs it made the heat seem legitimate. I appreciated the fact that he didn't play a hokey pokey character and stayed true to his persona during an era when everyone else was looking for cheap sophomoric pops and comedic routines.

[@DavidWolfe-yo5bq]

They had a golden opportunity to have Sting go over Hogan clean(and according to hogan and bischoff sting wasn't at the top of his game with personal issues)....with the idea that Bret would be in the mix to challenge for the title. Have hogan use his rematch clause and have bret interfere on behalf of sting, and nash interfere for hogan. No contest. Then do a fatal 4 way with sting as champ, bret, hogan and nash. Use that match to see nash betray hogan for Bret letting Bret win the belt. Bret is the new leader of the NWO, and kick out all of the watered down guys. Bring it down to Bret, Nash, Hall, and Randy Savage. That would make it strong again and put a fresh paint. Have Hogan do a long walk back to the yellow and red. So many great ways to tell this story with Bret. How did they get it wrong? Just baffles me.

I think Bret was underrated on the mic.... He killed it with The whole Canada Vs USA feud and almost started riots

[@MrReese]

Hall got one thing correct here: the nWo was a circus that turned the WCW into a clown show with lots of useless trash talking and barely any proper wrestling, and Bret did not fit in there because he was a proper Wrestler who took his craft seriously and had a sense of pride regarding his work.

[@bendersgame5464]

Yep. Unfortunately, Hall's addictions and Nash's injuries paired with Nash's creative control led to lackluster performances after the first 2 years of nWo.

Bret was mishandled. Bischoff admitted so. Bret and VKM even both said before he left 'they're not gonna know what to do with me' and he was right. Bret is still a giant of the industry and the fact he apparently told AEW he'd agent matches and stuff for them and they REFUSED is one of the biggest mistakes in aews short, and tragic history. Bret offers you a hand, you take it. Especially when it comes to putting matches together. Hall offers you a hand on promo work, you again take him up on that. You let people help you make money. Miss Hall, sad how his last days were, but, legends never really due. May he RIP.

Very interesting point by Scott: when the wrestler is interesting enough in the ring, the commentator has time to talk about other wrestlers, matches, angles, etc. I remember once switching to a channel, where there was an Indy Wrestling show, which I can't remember the name. The commentator was soooo boring, he only spoke about the moves the wrestlers are doing right now in the ring, as we're all blind!

[@williampeden6687]

Bischoff had his flaws, but the gulf in quality and PPV buys from about August 1999 to early 2000 was huge. Bischoff wasn't going to win the war at that point, but WCW could have at least avoided losing about $60 million in 2000 and maybe survived as an independent entity like TNA (or instead of Smackdown!). Road Wild 1999: 0.54 buy rate Souled Out 2000: 0.26 buy rate, WCW's worst ever for a normal PPV at that point, even below BattleBowl 1993.

This is the first time Ive heard WCW and when Bret joined the company. From the first week he was there, I was upset at how he was handled. I remember hearing about Bret joining and thought he was a huge upgrade to WCW. We had all the NWO noise going on, they were great but Hulk was far past his prime (my opinion, don’t get upset!). I was fan enough I bought an NWO t-shirt. The story was a great idea but it had way to much air time and robbed fans with not enough wrestling time. Bret signing should have him vs Goldberg day one. Bret could make anyone look like a superstar. Fans never saw any of that happen. Was Russo the booker? My memory is bad after several strokes and I no longer remember when Dusty stopped being the head booker. Hellfire! Dusty was old but a Bret vs Dusty match would be the biggest match in WCW and could sell out a Starcade or other PPV event.

Brett was, in my opinion, pretty damn good on the stick in 1997 as a heal. He had a lot of US fans in the palm of his hand with his heat. They loved to hate him during that run.

Scott was a walking master class in wrestling business…😊

Rip Scott hall

So I kind of agree with Scott but for different reasons. WCW overtook WWF on Bret's watch. So now that Bret is in WCW, what are you going to do? Book him to beat all the top guys he couldn't outdraw when he was in the other company?

[@raulramirez9657]

Book him with the top talent in matches that mattered, period. Win or lose, Bret could get a 5 star classic out of all the top guys and elevate everyone. Doesn’t necessarily have to book him to win them all

I miss Scott Hall, Rip…dudes was a genius mind…he told Sting to do the crow thing and god knows what else he helped guys come up with

[@dbone3356]

I disagree with Scott on one thing. Bret was absolutely mishandled when he came in to WCW. Scott said that Bret would have made a bigger impact had he come in a year earlier, Bret was white hot after the Screw job.

He's exactly right about WCW and Brett. RIP

WCW was anything but a well oiled machine🤣

​@@markula_4040i always preferred WCW over WWF, but I couldn't stand Hogan, and Vince revolved around Hogan

After reading through the comments for a little bit I think a lot of you guys are right even though you're disagreeing. Two things are true here: 1- Brett wasn't great on the mic. He wasn't terrible, but he wasn't great. 2- Scott is looking back on that time when Bret came in with rose colored glasses re: the NWO's talent. By that point the NWO's goofy antics and soap opera nonsense had grown stale and boring but they were still obnoxiously controlling everything. Hard to see how a guy who isn't naturally gifted on the mic like Bret could find a way to blend into the silly chaos of the NWO at that time. It was doomed to fail.

What a mind Scott Hall was

[@MrRedbone19]

Heel Bret is so good. When he had the Canadian stable, he was 1000000

[@MusicmyZombie]

Yooo sting You ever see the movie the Crow. The end

[@carter358]

@3:30 He's right. Bret just didn't fit in. WCW.

[@ThisPodKillsFacist]

The booking didn't help

[@adrenalinflow]

The WWF was a better company than WCW and knew how to market their wrestlers better and make stars. I preferred Bret, Nash and Hall’s WWF work to anything they did in WCW

[@hollowhammer3526]

You must've been a child then because WWF was for children with Diesel and Hitman. Probably loved the Warriors ring work didnt you?
