Yes I Agree with you ❤❤❤❤

[@mikes.4136]

There have been few characters as entertaining and as over as Razor Ramon. Scott Hall made that character, and that character made Scott Hall.

[@anthonylewis3095]

WTF are you talking about? Did you just start watching wrestling?

[@mikes.4136]

@@anthonylewis3095 Yes - about 2 minutes ago was the first time I ever watched pro wrestling. Please be so kind and inform about this thing called pro wrestling.

[@mikes.4136]

razor was so cool.

I like Scott he tells the history of his career very well.. RIP Scott Hall

[@demonsnake88]

Man. Can't believe razors gone. R.I.P to a true legendary worker and wrestler. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time

[@RedfishCarolina]

Such a great performer. His promos were top shelf.

[@RMILLSMMA]

Man this makes me really miss Scott. Of all the Clique Scott always seemed the most cool.

[@dr.floridamanphd]

He definitely was. He didn’t let his ego get to him the way others did.

[@JoeM40040]

Scott Hall is one of the most fascinating people to listen to speak about the business.

[@wa2k99]

I never get tired of hall telling the story

[@RextheDragon881]

He's got great stories and knows how to tell them for sure. Never knew he's was this intelligent

[@sizethirteennikes]

Incredible mind for the business. Never held the world title but was more over than any champion today easy

[@Boxedbyyme]

Let’s not forget about Roman reigns

[@RebelThoughts82]

He was the original total package! He had everything! Looks, Wrestling skills, personality, etc!

[@razzledingle]

Those promos he cut as RR were GOLD----so captivating and so funny. Makes me smile listening to him talk. He made the perfect adaptation of Tony Montana from gangster to wrestler. RIP Bad Guy.

[@meanstavrakas1044]

I only watched the WCW for a year in 1997 but Scott had just started the nWo. Since then he had become my favorite Pro Wrestler of all time. RIP SCOTT HALL!

[@Pdotta1]

I was laughing all the through this. Pure joy.

[@jameslonano5659]

Scott was a born entertainer. Loved every second of his time in WWF and WCW.

[@scottsacala]

lol.. shoutout to Tito Santana. On point, and quick to respond too! Razor Ramon is one of the greatest and coolest characters in the business. RIP Scott Hall.

[@martinwalton9307]

Man, he was such a great storyteller and clearly a super intelligent guy when he wasnt fucked up.

[@marcusalmaraz3821]

None cooler than the Bad Guy.

[@martinalarcon3108]

Razor Ramon was and still one of my fav characters still today whenever me and brother get together and there’s a tooth pick around we throw toothpicks at one another 😮😢

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

At least Scott Hall was honest about his shortcomings, unlike other top stars during this time. He doesn't embellish on the good or sugarcoat the bad. Long live The BAD GUY!

[@tonyarenajacobs7924]

True

[@C6ZR1]

Top mind for the biz. Started NWO, came up with the Razor gimmick, gave Sting his iconic look, what else???

[@superchili9057]

Taught Hulk Hogan to be the Hollywood Hogan

Razor Ramon theme music was on the mark 😊

[@supremeelbey105]

Long live the Bad Guy! 🙏🏾👑💯🔥🔥🔥

[@JohnnyTronNetwork]

Razor Ramon was like The Rock of the early 90s, in terms of style and flamboyance.

[@battlestarmarc]

Hall was awesome as razor ramon. One of the best IC champs.

[@787_rayray3]

Razor Ramon was Scott Hall's greatest gimmick it made him a legend

[@jamiefowler6335]

I was lucky enough to spend some time with Scott was a amazing friendly guy who told honest stories of his career rip the bad guy you are missed

[@viliguns]

Loved this guy and his signature moves, the spinning punch, fall away slam, and the Razors Edge. RIP Mr. Hall...Bad Guy 4 Life. 🤘🏽

[@ADAMdinho1]

RIP Scott ... I absolutely loved the Razor Ramon gimmick

[@80sports20]

Scott was so good in character as Razor Ramon that all Latinos, including me, thought he was Latino back in the 90’s lol. Back in the pre-internet era you couldn’t find info easy, so I had no idea his real name was Scott Hall

[@themindofmwill24]

That was a treat he gave us a little sample of Razor Ramon. I was a true fan of Scott Hall

[@borralho2011]

If he only had come a little later to the business, he would be a huge movie star by now. Scott Hall, a man ahead of his time. RIP, big man. You are missed.

[@ziggypop79]

I miss the bad guy, saw you wrestle in 94. Great interview.

[@christopherolivarez4887]

Man i wish scott wouldve stayed with us and had the podcasting gig instead of cranky old kev… scott just lights up telling all kinds of stories

[@ItzJohnnyRambo]

Love your stories scott! Always seemed like the coolest dude from the Kliq! Hope your resting easy now bro!

[@6evil6dead64]

What an awesome interview Hall was . And wow does he know the business

[@robertmoore8821]

I love Scott Hall's impression of Bobby Eaton and Vince McMahon on this video 😂

[@JJA1987]

Razor will always be Scott's best period - Yes, The NWO was important too but without Razor who knows what his career would've been

OG SCOTT HALL#1 (RIP) AKA OG RAZOR RAMON#1

[@thetwitchywitchy]

He even has the toothpick behind his ear in this, massive respect to Scott Hall, Razor was a huge character in wrestling, he inspired a lot of guys. I don’t think any of person could’ve played a character based on Tony Montana any better than Scott, he really brought it to life. Also HUGE respect to him for being honest about the steroids and it’s good that he was able to continue to be successful after stopping them

[@gjfwang]

Feels like Curt Hennig was like everyone’s best friend

[@ryant2418]

You know Scott was a genuine guy when he is talking about how his gimmick was basically a rip off but you still love the guy

[@Bb186fo]

I had a friend growing up who was an extremely causal wrestling fan, he always mistakenly pronounced it "Razor Raymond" used to drive me crazy 😂

[@smh7888]

Crazy that Vince never saw scarface, must not be a movie guy.

[@Nostalgia9478]

Razor definitely didnt look like he was off steroids early on during his Razor Ramon run He thinned out by Survivor 92 though

[@2beJT]

He'd have made an amazing car salesman.

[@Craighetfield2024]

Razor was a good man bottom line ... he had his demons but who else on earth didn't have one ?? I had mine and who ever is reading this you did too .. I wish I met him before he left us ... he was a part of my childhood and respected this man and I still do ❤️ razor Ramon the bad guy for life 🤟🏽

[@michaelreich4827]

What's with all the uploads going on recently? Not just Scott, but tons of other guys.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

It is a shame that Razor never had a run at the championship. Not necessarily win it, but just be in the run for it.

Hilarious, he just casually says, "Yeh so, I go into the bathroom, and Tito Santana was in there, and I say hey, I need to come up with a name, Tito goes, how about Ramon, I go, cool, that's it, thanks" lol... The Legendary Tito Santana gave the Legend to be, Razor Roman his name, after Tito just finished taking a wiz You can't make this stuff up RIP Razor

Wanna be a pro wrestler? Study the Gospel according to Scott from 8:00 to 8:15 of this video.

[@RedfishCarolina]

True. But also earlier. He told them he'd be happy even if he just had Barry Horowitz's spot. He knew he could perform (so could Barry) and he knew just being there meant he was a star. Even though his gimmic was entirely being in business for himself, in reality he knew his best shot wasn't going to be found in jockying with Vince to be top dog. Compare that with the Warrior who basically demanded it constantly to a degree that got him blackballed

[@robertogomez2932]

Acted like Scarface looked like Manny.

[@oveidasinclair982]

I cant believe someone (Vince), who is so out of touch w/ pop culture that they haven't even seen Scarface, or even know what a Cuban is, can be a corporate megalomaniac billionaire in the entertainment business.
