I could listen to Scott Hall talk about the business for hours. It was indeed a sad day when he died.

[@83aber1]

Scott Hall will always be a legend.

[@mandomax20]

Man he was such a cool guy. Oozes coolness. I can listen to him talk for hours and hours. Gone way too soon.

[@CM-vi9px]

I miss Scott hall

[@DeadBeatShitHead]

every time I watch a new dark side of the ring episode my first thought is “this would’ve been so much better if Scott Hall was still alive to tell his side of the story” his post career contributions to the industry are sorely missed.

[@DougBernsBass]

The best storyteller in the business talking about the most interesting era in the business. Awesome

[@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY]

This interview surprised me with how positive and grateful Scott was. I don't know why but I expected him to have some of Nash's disdain and mild contempt for the business and audience, but no, Scott Hall was genuinely just cool and liked pro wrestling. He was great, RIP.

[@user-mq1od7fx5l]

He was so on-point in this interview. RIP Scott Hall. Legend.

[@ohmzkillz3484]

"Say Hello To The Bad Guy "🤘🏽🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 Rest In Peace King Thank You For Being My Childhood Hero #RazorRamon

[@Georgeyboy1987]

The coolest without even trying

[@jedimindtrick75]

Man. I could listen to him talking wrestling all day. Such a great interview.

[@joshuapaladini1507]

I remember when this shoot came out, it was a roll of the dice as to which version of Hall we'd get. Was very pleased to see him well rested and with so much clarity. An all time classic performer and interview.

[@ericdravenX00X]

Scott is one of the Best storyteller's when it comes to the history of his career.. He learned from some of the Best.. Great Interview! R.I.P Scott Hall "Razor Ramon aka The Bad Guy"

[@user-oo8un3ch4b]

Thank you for posting this in full, it's getting me through. Miss hearing the bad guy talk.

[@michaeljohnston4459]

Its good to see him so coherent. Longer interview it's honestly impressive he came so far.

[@dadmanlafosse90]

So we all agree how under ratedly amazing this guy was right ?

[@danielfratus484]

This is awesome , thanks for posting it .R I.P. to the Bad Guy

[@sizethirteennikes]

RIP Scott Hall top 5 to have never held the top belt in any company…tbh he never needed one 😤🔥

[@nicismagic]

He didn't want it, never cared about it, he was about the money, smart man

[@ninowaves4061]

He was the coolest wrestler ever…he never needed a belt to be over..& he put so many ppl over..RIP legend

[@DyspotikOriginal]

Same with jake the snake. Both have impeccable minds for the business

[@jeremybayne5895]

Fucking bullet proof!

[@FilmThePoliceFTP]

Owen hart Jake Roberts Scott hall Bam Bam Bigelow... who is the fifth?

[@Impossible033]

The coolest and one of the smartest wrestlers of all time… Chico 🤘

[@hollywoodhh5646]

Incredible intelligence

[@D4NK1]

Scott hall is one of the few that is actually humble And not fake humble like Mick Foley, The Rock and others

[@ninowaves4061]

Fr i cant stand foley he’s such a phony..if anyone says anything about him he gets all sensitive.

[@D4NK1]

@@ninowaves4061 for me, I felt it before, but Stevie Richards talking about Foley proved it He played the "nice, average guy" role well enough and long enough to get people to feel sorry enough for him that they put the belt on him, so I guess it worked

[@markgray7717]

Scott hall one of the best

[@buckeye5755]

What is so different with Scott vs other wrestlers that tell stories, is that Scott hardly ever takes credit for something. He always gives props to whom he learned it from, who taught him, or how he took something and made it his own while still giving credit. It’s so refreshing to hear someone who was in the industry and yet was so humble to put over everyone that helped him get what he had. So sad we lost him and all the stories he hadn’t yet told. RIP.

[@joshwalters4245]

I love Scott Hall & Kevin Nash I wish I could have drank some beer with those guy's and talking wrestling RIP Scott NWO FOR LIFE JUST 2 SWEET 🍻

[@devilandthelord]

Such a great storyteller, I miss this guy. I’ll always miss him. RIP Scott. Thanks for posting!

[@RMILLSMMA]

Man I wish I'd met Scott. Seems like a awesome dude. Such a pity he went so young.

[@advancedchiropractic667]

He spotted me at the gym on the bench press. He was everything you think he was. I asked him to spot me on bench and he did not hesitate and spotted me and sat down and talked to me as a young man. No cussing, just told me about his bout with Terry Funk Jr. Then kept spotting me for each set. My perspective, a great guy. One of the first time I was treated as an equal, not a dum teenager.

[@AmericanDegenerate]

Scott Hall is dead, but not really gone. Scott will never be forgotten

[@Connorangel00]

God bless you Hall.

[@zerkzy842]

I wasn’t prepared for this 😮

[@govdave007]

This interview really made me like this guy.

[@cking509]

Great storyteller with a lot of passion for the business. RIP Scott

[@c0stathecraycraygreek459]

HEY YO!! Miss you Scott. Hope you're having great matches in Heaven. RIP

[@DannyGautama]

I miss him and his HEY YO followed with the POP!

[@delgrady10]

Say goodbye to the bad guy. What a cool line.

[@MidNightLover713]

Nash and Hall have the best stories ever can listen to them all day

[@cassiustaylor9265]

[@vita4-life852]

Absolute legend. His mind for the business of wrestling was incredible.

[@stevenramirezmistersmokes6379]

OG SCOTT HALL#1 (RIP) AKA THE BAD GUY RAZOR RAMON#1

[@Alexwhatisit]

I've heard this bootlegged so many times but I gotta give it a few more listens now.

[@SurgeCess]

2:35:20 heart wrenching response, Scott had a big heart

[@donnabanks8585]

Heartbreaking, Scott was a good guy deep down its such a shame he couldn’t overcome his demons his mind for the business was amazing

[@mikehunt8247]

It's crazy iv seen this shoot many times but for some reason never seen thst part. Really sad

[@EricJae.]

The Bad Guy

[@RAVISHINGRICKRUDERMD]

Scott Hall I always absolutely 💯 loved him. Amazing worker, amazing interview, amazing promo, amazing shoot, amazing vinettes, amazing friend, amazing recovery story. Should’ve been a world 🌎 Champion in WWF should’ve beat Bret Hart in 1994/5 and def should’ve been WCW champion in 1999/2000 and probably in 1998 too. The Bad guy was the fucken best RIP 🪦 💔 ❤️‍🩹

[@ChaseBAmerica1st]

Damn good one. Liked

[@Jay_M_See]

Miss the "Bad guy"...

[@russellsidell]

It was unreal to see him break down at being asked about the Benoit tragedy.

[@samballesteros2822]

Thank you so much for this. I remember buying it off RF website. One of the best shoots ever from one of the coolest wrestling Legends. Heartfelt interview breaks my heart when he talks about the benoit family tragedy. RIP BAD GUY

[@OldGrayBeardo]

The last five minutes of this interview, man...😢

[@imaxeman69]

What a great interview. He was soooo good. R.I.P. Razor.

[@advancedchiropractic667]

It is so sad he did not take better care of himself. Can you imagine how big of a Podcast Hall would have had. He can just tell stories. Life takes no prisoners. I told story he worked out at same gym I did. I was like 17 years old, and this was a gritty gym of monsters. I was a monster in the making. Scott would come in and be honest he was quite, I never new he was a story teller like this. He talked to me as a young man and just another guy at the gym. I was pretty strong for a 17 year old with like 295 or 315 pounds on the bench. It was still near my max and he spotted me when I asked him He was like no problem and racked it for me. I knew about his incident with the shooting and my brother who was a badass at the time told me he thought he never got over it. Side note, my brother could be a jerk and only 215 lbs, but had huge 20” arms and known as a fighter. There are just nasty people who people are scared of and he was one of them. No doubt Scott knew who he was and never wanted beef with him and that might have been why he was so cool with me. Boy Orlando back in the day with Rosie O Gardy’s saloon in downtown Orlando had epic bar fights and my brother was known as a bull. Someone have to write a book about those days. It was crazy times.

[@TheJDough1]

I bet when Pat Patterson was happy with you, you FELT IT

[@andrewmcguinness]

Love that happy ending line. Wish he had done the book

[@shaartvader4830]

Only guy who told it straight up

[@jonbourgoin182]

1:21:30 Scott putting Bret over here is interesting because 7 or 8 years later when Scott filmed the YouShoot with Sean Oliver, Scott basically buried Bret, starting off by saying "I'm not a big Bret Hart fan..." I wonder what happened between this interview in 2007 and the YouShoot years later that made Scott change his tune on Bret. Bret must have been on record burying Scott and the whole Kliq at some point between that time.

[@ninowaves4061]

Bret said hall was always negative and a mess in an interview. I like them both and ultimately i know they both respected eachother..Rip bad guy

[@MikeOxlong-td4ib]

The best IC champ in my opinion.

[@HeathenTrucker]

Such a great interview. RIP HALL

[@ericlofstrand]

Scott was so cool because coming out with hogan, nash, bischoff, macho in the nitro days, he arguably could have been the top guy but instead chose to surf walk out and make himself "smaller." When he didn't have to. It's almost like as if Austin in 96/97, instead of chasing world title, decided to join dx or something. It's like shawn would've been the guy that the company wanted, but everyone would've secretly been watching austin in the background. I know it's not exactly that situation but it kind of is. Hall was like Brad Pitt in ocean's 11. Like, the movie clearly has george Clooney as the main character, but everyone's secretly looking at someone else more

[@bigroy38]

I miss Scott.

[@adamfaris5521]

Love these

[@brianpowers3742]

He has one of the best working punches in the business.. Rick Steiner too.

[@BrakerLane]

Hey, yo...

[@mikeychainsaw9760]

Rip to the bad guy.. AYO

[@rickmagtira1648]

I really wish he didn’t have the personal challenges that hurt his career; he would have been one hell of a booker. Respect for tradition, knew the old school and a part of the modern era, humble, willing to put others over for the right reasons. He would have been a great part of Creative with Triple H.

[@YusukeKnight]

RIP Scott Hall we miss you

[@SharpFitnessLook]

Still got the toothpick behind his ear 😆

[@billepperson2662]

This interview is legendary, his 2nd RF shoot is as well, but for the wrong reasons. Instead of being the affable, endlessly entertaining storyteller he is here, he was clearly intoxicated, stumbling with his words & kept asking the interviewer to pass him a glass filled with a clear liquid he refers to as water, but was clearly vodka... A shame. Hope he's truly at peace, one of the best to ever do it 🕊️

[@battlestarmarc]

Great shoot. Hall was unreal. Outsiders 🐺 wolf pack was great. Original freebirds were fabulous. Any chance of getting david schultz full shoot.

[@Jojobizzare80]

2:35:30 Scott was a good dude so sad seeing him cry

[@dannycov0602]

Even though i was old enough to know wrestling was fake razor made me feel his beef with larry was real turns out great friends

[@nunyobisnas8653]

I haven’t seen Chael Sonnen mention it. Has he ever mentioned Hall as the inspiration for his heel work? 1. Bad guy 2. Lie about winning even though he lost 3. Used his “bad times don’t last, bad guys do” line Btw this isn’t a criticism of Chael. Hall used other people’s material, they all do. Just curious if anyone knows.

[@insaniam_convertunt_scientiam]

Hey Yo! Don’t be a mark -Hall 3:420

[@djamesyeah]

“No comment” - proceeds to comment 😂

[@c0ng0circle]

[@arsenewenger49]

Razor Ramon el hefe

[@joshko1519]

What “bus” video are they talking about?

[@eg4325]

Always wished wcw would have put the big belt on him at least once… even if short.

[@__RYN__]

31:50 Im over in Sioux Falls

[@richardhinton4501]

Scott was similar to Rowdy He didn’t need NO stinking Belt. But it would have been Cool… RIP to one of the Greatest.

[@JamesSplawn]

Rob , I remember you at all the ecw shows I bought my first iwa king of the death match tape from you. 😂

[@rcarlisi63]

Wonder if Patterson tried anything with razor or xpac......even diesel...

[@hoskins666]

Scott Hall talking about the importance of kayfabe :P

[@bobbobrobert5249]

Jerry Saggs would have whooped Nash's ass LMAO. Nash is the fakest tough guy ever.

[@solaradam7470]

25:37 love the mailman/fan impression

[@bullock4211]

Wow

[@J_Ambrus_Films]

RIP King

[@Gtagurself]

Sounds like Scott's issues were alcoholism induced by burn-out. Fucking shame we lost him, he sounds like a freaking gold mine of wrestling knowledge. Would have been great to see him teach younger talents in NXT.

[@joshcarpenter3352]

Is this available in podcast form?

[@panagenesis2695]

It boggles my mind about how fondly they speak of the WWF when they were treated so poorly. And, they have all manner of contempt for WCW where they made all their money.

[@temperedglass1130]

Scott Hall.....defeated by an ice cube.

[@hoskins666]

Having the same match because you're wrestling jobbers every night and calling people marks is a good excuse for someone without wrestling talent. Hart carried a down-and-out WWF through some seriously lean years when guys like Nash/Michaels couldn't draw

[@Nice-Poeci-Fancy-Guppies]

🪜

[@robertkelly8559]

A master class in wagon hitching.

[@WiseQuacker]

Scott Hall should've been WWF champ, not Bret.

[@devoncutmore]

Didn't he get fired after the plane ride from hell with Curt Hennig? He didn't tell it that way.

[@FranktheTank70]

Amateur sounding audio.

[@Sonofgrievous]

If cocaine was a man

[@davidwoolley707]

Stop calling him Scott hall that’s fn Razor Ramon

[@jlover911]

I always loved Scott Hall. The day I saw that he was hanging out with Kevin Nash I threw up and lost all respect for him. Kevin Nash is a piece of garbage

[@brasidas33]

Overrated

[@GBody-sn5ok]

RIP Big Scott Hall!

[@johnnyjrkirch4952]

I learned that Scott Hall was just a punk that jumped people while they slept not fight them like a man face-to-face.
