Wrestling Bios Presents - The Story of Razor Ramon in the WWF
Scott Hall made his WWF debut in 1992 as Razor Ramon, a character that went on to become very popular in the mid 90s in the World Wrestling Federation. Beginning his run as a heel, Razor Ramon quickly rose up the ranks within the WWF, oozing machismo while putting his opponents away with "The Razor's Edge".
Around a year after his debut, Razor Ramon's popularity had gotten so big and his crowd reactions had gotten so loud that it was decided that The Bad Guy would become a good guy. To complete the turn, Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid had an entertaining storyline where The Kid got an upset win over Razor. After Money Inc. laughed at Ramon for losing this match, Razor decided to partner with 1-2-3 Kid, and from here, Ramon's popularity would get even bigger. Razor would go on to become one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions in WWF history while having entertaining matches throughout his entire run.

I got to meet Razor at a local department store meet and greet in Boston when I was a kid. He was actually really nice, in character. I asked “are you Scott hall that used to wrestle in awa?” He answered “yeah mang”. I felt like I was a total badass at 11yo because I knew razor ramons true identity lmao

[@jesterskully563]

No doubt! I’ve always preferred the IC Title over the World Title. So many great wrestlers held it from the 80s & 90s

[@skuastone9698]

@Anthony Mcken it is scripted, titles are awarded to wrestlers that perform well and draw reactions from crowds, think about an actor winning an Oscar for his achievements. So winning an ib title four times is a great accomplishment.

Rest in peace razor Ramon you are remembered as a legend and it is sad that you passed away

[@wesleygainey2611]

One thing I've always found weird, he was never looked at as a "big man." And he was huge, and worked like a "big man." I think it has to due with his proximity to Nash

[@kevinpayton2664]

During his AWA days he was even bigger.

[@ironman2326]

But by far the most underrated... Scott Hall literally set off the Monday Night Wars... HE made the nWo possible... Hogan and Nash could not have worked the WCW matches the way Hall did... It would have went no where as Hogan was pretty much a 3 minute punch fest match by this point already. All the good talent would have matches with Hall to build up their rivalries with the nWo and the Outsiders..

I thought he was really Cuban as a kid lol. But it just shows how good of an actor he was. By far one of the coolest wrestling characters of all time and definitely one of my favorites for sure. It’s just a real shame his personal demons got in the way because he would’ve made one hell of a WWF champion. The winged eagle championship would've looked perfect on him.

[@ryuno2097]

I remember as a kid when I first saw his promo I was immediately captivated by it. When I saw his entrance and wrestling style he became my favourite wrestler to this day. I remember being sad when he left the WWF but when I saw him with Kevin Nash on WCW during their first invasion episode I was so happy to see him back.

Everything about the Razor Ramon character was great from throwing the toothpick in people's face telling the ring dude to watches his jewelry and he could put on a good wrestling match

This guy was the man in the AWA and Razor Ramon. The Razor gimmick fit like a glove.

[@superrobz]

Personal demons aside, it makes me sad to think how despite how popular he was Vince never pulled the trigger on him giving him a major world championship. Especially since when they tried it on Kevin Nash in the mid 90s he was a total dud

[@superrobz]

Scott M oh yeah I know that (definitely compared to today where they basically treat it like pass the parcel) but part of me really wanted to see Hall/Razor win the wwf title

[@davidholt2589]

Scott Hall was one of the few guys to not need the strap to get over.

David Holt same with Curt Hennig, I just really wanted it as a kid

[@cjoneillva]

Yeah it kinda sucks, but I almost think he didn't need it. Scott Hall was like THE mid-card champion in the WWF in his IC title days. I think being one of the most memorable IC champions in WWE history makes up for his lack of world titles a little bit.

[@superrobz]

Chris O'Neill all valid points, I just thought he’d have been an excellent world champion around this time period. I don’t hate big Kev, but the guys run as heavyweight champion was just so underwhelming

Razor was also apart of the biggest upsets I’ve ever seen. I was 8-9 years old watching the 1-2-3 kid beat him on RAW. Iconic moment for me thinking a “jobber” was gonna really beat Razor

[@magesentron]

What was genius about Razor Ramone was he took the same dynamic that made audiences cheer for Tony Montana and made it show through Scott Hall and it was almost inevitable that he'd become an antihero. He had the same sort of stage presence of all the great workers. He always got a huge pop, he always knew how to sell, he always knew how to stay in character and, at some point, he didn't even need his Razor persona, the fans loved him just as himself.

[@michaelhoule2134]

I LOVED Scott Hall as Razor Ramon, he just had "it". I was crushed the day he died. My little bro gave me a Razor Ramon action figure in box. I wanted to get it signed by him, he was in Vancouver doing something a few years ago. I would of LOVED to of had that signed by him. I also have had some of the same issues he has had in his life. So to see him go from him in the mid 2000's to him with DDP and the life he had after. Those demons have a way of coming back to kicking you in the ass later on in life sadly. I am so proud of what Scott accomplished in his life after he got his act together. Scott was just mesmerizing as Razor and made watching WWF back then somewhat palatable. RIP Mr Hall, the matches in Heaven just got a whole lot better. You are missed and remembered.

[@Novika75]

Scott Hall sold Razor so damn well. The swagger, the trademark toothpick, the deliberately slow walk. He was right there with Rick Rude, Jake the Snake, Undertaker, and Macho Man with how well he did his gimmick.
