Guest dreamer420 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Has anyone else read the interview with Scott Hall in the headlines section at wwf.com Hall opens up quite a bit in the interview and doesn't appear to hold anything back. Check it out and post your thoughts.
Guest Mik at Cornell Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 I read it. It's always hard to tell which version of the story is indeed the truth. Hall admits that the Kliq was late and sometimes had a bad attitude. I especially loved his quote, when someone asked him how he was doing, he would reply "Better than you." I think that's pretty funny. Say what you will about the nWo but when I read an interview like that I can't help but root for a guy to do well for himself.
Guest hunger4unger Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Great interview - thanks for pointing it to me..I think WWF.com reached a milestone with the candidness of this interview..a great read.
Guest Tony149 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Interesting interview. I guess that's why people consider Hall & Nash dangerous to the locker room. They come off as good, fun guys during the interview. Hopefully Hall can can sober.
Guest TheDames7 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 There has been a lot of Hall bashing as of late, and I hope everyone gets to read this interview. I've liked Scott Hall for a while and just like Eddie Guerrero, I really want them to get over their problems because I know they have talent. I hope everything that he said about how he wants to be is true. I'm pulling for the guy to make it. Dames
Guest Kaoz Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 how come they never interview the bossman?
Guest TheDames7 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Are you a Bossman mark? You mention him all the time! Dames
Guest X-Factor Corperation Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Didn't they interview the Big Bossman? They did some thing on how he's a heel.
Guest Army Eye Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Well that's easily the best interview I've read on WWF.com. Of course I usually skip them entirely, but, this one is good trust me. The comments on his 'heat' backstage are interesting
Guest Risk Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 He isn't a heel, he has X-Pac heat. Get off my tv heat.
Guest Badd Company Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Great interview...and by Seth Mates no less........ Too bad the Nash interview is awful, as he pretty much denies the Kliq ever existed....always the politician.
Guest areacode212 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Yeah, good interview. He's easily the best wrestler of the 3 nWo members, and I hope he keeps his act together.
Guest Loss4Words Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 If you read that interview closely, Scott Hall has basically explained the right way to keep him motivated -- program him against the young guys. That seems to be what lights his fire the most. And damn, I'm VERY impressed with how strongly Hall put over Chris Jericho. I actually think a program with those two could draw some serious money and the matches would probably be pretty good. I take Hall as someone who does better when his star power isn't taken for granted. I think he'd rather be challenged and made to prove himself than just given the world because of his star power. Of course, I've always thought that, even before this interview, but this really sealed the deal. He could do a lot for guys like Edge, Christian and Rob Van Dam.
Guest gangsteruwa Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 great interview. it makes you wonder about the validity of the stories we all hear about him. sure, it could be all bs, but I really don't see what the point would be, if he was so open about his problems. one of THE BEST interviews I have read in a very long time, its suprising to me that it came from wwf.com.
Guest WWF4Life Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Hall has always put over younger talent, it seems he realises the importance of doing so...In his first WWF stint, he put over guys like Jeff Jarrett, Goldust and Waltman, you can't ask for more than that. Wasn't he originally supposed to drop the U.S. title to Chris Benoit at Starrcade '99 as well? Hall rules. =)
Guest AM The Kid Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Whoa, what an awesome interview.
Guest hockeytown9321 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Don't forget how he put Hector Garza over on Nitro a few years ago. I don't know where the guy would be today without Scott Hall being so unselfish.
Guest hockeytown9321 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Don't forget how he put Hector Garza over on Nitro a few years ago. I don't know where the guy would be today without Scott Hall being so unselfish. Sorry this got posted twice. As they say on the streets, "My Bad"
Guest FoleyDDP Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 I liked the interview. I hope Hall doesn't fuck up and he's around for a while.
Guest Tony149 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 Didn't Hall put over a then unknown Chris Jericho on Nitro in 1997?
Guest hockeytown9321 Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 The fact that you can't remember means he didn't do a very good job.
Guest Army Eye Posted February 23, 2002 Report Posted February 23, 2002 It's hard to think of Hall as a heel bent on the WWF's destruction after reading that interview, isn't it? It's a great interview, but I dunno if the WWF thinks that anybody who goes to their web site is automatically a smark, or what...
Guest goodolemr Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 You know, now that I think back, it does seem like Hall has put over a lot talent throughout his first WWF run and WCW days. He didn’t come out and say it, but I got the distinct impression that he is a Christian. He kept talking about how he prayed for this opportunity and how blessed his life has been. Maybe I was reading too much into that. But if God, whatever Hall’s conception of him maybe, helps him fend off drinking, then I hope it works for Hall. Hopefully Hall won’t screw up this chance WWF is giving him.
Guest Choken One Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 I think Hall has a greater chance of staying Sober in WWF then he did in WCW. Here McMahon can really keep an eye on him as all the millions of Owner's and presidents of WCW never could....And it seems that the guys WANT Hall to kick the habit.
Guest Slapnuts00 Posted February 24, 2002 Report Posted February 24, 2002 Very compelling interview. Scott Hall's a big guy to admit he takes medicine and sees a phcyciatrist for his problems. He seems like a genuinlely nice guy who truly likes wrestling, but just made some bad life choices which he's had to cope with. Hopefully if he can indeed keep his life in order, he can prove to everyone that he's a changed man and help some of the young guys like he wants by working programs with them.
