Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2002 Well, there goes the nWo angle. Hall was the only orginal nWo member. Now it's X-Pac, Show, and Flair. That just fucking sucks, oh yeah and the big athlete Nash. WWF could fuck up a wet dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2002 NO, Hall can fuck up a wet dream. In the words of Nash, "Hall, go bye?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Singular Report post Posted May 7, 2002 I'm suprised he lasted as long as he did. Eddy Guererro take note. Don't Fuck Up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2002 Well the WWF has fucked up the WCW/ECW invasion, the roster split, and the nWo so it looks like they can fuck up the wet dream just as much as Hall...They fucked up what was the biggest angle ever...they can fuck anything up. Don't get me wrong Scott Hall getting fired may have been the best thing, but then again why did we see the nWo in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bcu1979 Report post Posted May 7, 2002 The real test will be to see what happens when Nash, Triple H and all the rest go to bat for giving Hall ANOTHER chance after he turns his life around the next time. Anyone think Nash would dare mention Hall's name on WWF tv like he did all the time in WCW? And if he did, would anything even happen to him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted May 7, 2002 I'll be the first to say that Scott Hall being shitcanned really sucks. The nWo was starting to looking like a decent unit of guys now that the Big Show is on board and Nash is returning soon. I guess a guy can only fuck up so many times before losing his job and from what I heard he got pretty fucked up in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted May 7, 2002 I don't blame the WWF for this one. I thought they were taking a pretty big chance even hiring the guy. Whatever happened to that stuff he was supposed to be taking that made him vomit whenever he was around alcohol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted May 7, 2002 Wow, I thought Hall had changed his life around. The retard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2002 I blame X-pac for going out and getting Hall drunk. He should of been looking out for his "Friend." I know that is bullshit, but it's too much fun bashing X-pac! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted May 7, 2002 I am glad to see Scott Hall gone. He should have not been hired in the first place. Of course, I now wonder this means now for the Raw roster. I would hope for some sort of roster shuffle or something with Show being Flair's "enforcer" type with some other guy being brought in to help the feud with Austin, so as to not rush Flair vs. Austin, and to keep away from Austin vs. Show. Of course, they will probably keep the NWO the same just without Scott Hall, thus creating another "What the heck were they thinking?" moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever happened to that stuff he was supposed to be taking that made him vomit whenever he was around alcohol? Well, it was during the Austin/Hall feud angle, and the alcohol being poured around him all the time made him nauseous or something. So, he decided to stop taking it while the feud was taking place, but I guess XPac or one of his "buds" got him hammered, and he never got back on the pills. Sad, really.

Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2002 See, why were they brought in in the first place? UGH! That's what I hate about the WWE. They really don't THINK AHEAD! They think about what could be done in two weeks as opposed to two years. Lance Storm could get a push, and so could RVD. May not seem like much now...but just think about the response Benoit gets when he comes back. They took a YEAR to build him up as THE badass for the WWF title. See, they can take ANYBODY with the skills and turn them into major players. Scott Hall, X-Pac, HHH, and the politicians are all playing those games because they STILL think they got what it takes. You want my opinion? Get two cruiserweights, give them 10 minutes, and then see the fans POP like FUCKING MADNESS for the highspots. See Michinoku/Sasuke at Canadian Stampede. That was THE epitome of what the WWF (then) could do at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2002 maybe its sad i kinda liked Hall but the WWEgh did the right thing hell maybe some of the other "boys" will get the hint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I'll be the first to say that Scott Hall being shitcanned really sucks. I agree... Hall is one of my favorites for some reason. In the NWO, he was actually doing well wrestling for his age. This sucks. There isn't any original members of the NWO anymore... unless you count Nash. They stick him in an angle with Austin where he's tied up with beer... then the NWO takes over Austin's room and drinks beer.. ugh. Dumb dumb WWE. I don't think it's their fault ENTIRELY, but still. Hall must say, "I'm going, bye," now... but instead of like Nash leaving I WILL notice him gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 This is terribly disappointing... To tell you the truth, your humble Taker Mark believed Hall was a new man, a man away from the demons which haunted him before. You know i even read somewhere that Hall was taking a special pill to stop him from drinking, a pill that made him VERY sick if he touched alcohol... Hall is a disgrace, he is a let down to his fans and himself, he has proved that wrestling isn't always full of heroes, just boys trying to cut it in a man's world ( and women's! ) Good Riddance Hall, im sorry for believing in you This has been the Old School Taker Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Do any of you know how hard it is to break an Alcohol addiction? Seriosuly, do any of you? It's not just a switch you can turn on and off at your leisure. It takes extreme amounts of discipline and self control, something I believe Hall did have at his disposal, until he came to the WWF that is. For over a year now, it had been widely reported that in the independents and abroad that Hall was wrestling sober and partying was at a minimal. He was doing good. Then, suddenly he comes back to the WWF, and immediately put into an angle where there is alcohol poured over him? Of course he's going to fall off the wagon. That's like putting a recovering crack addict in a crack house with a free supply. I totally blame the WWF for this one. That shows how much they care for certain performers. It was public knowledge that Hall was on medication due to his problem and that alcohol was actually a thret to his life, yet, to appease Steve Austin and the boys he was allowed to be embarrassed by having alcoholic beverges poured on him? WTF? Why Hall? Why not Nash? Were they trying to kill him? And where were hsi friends to help ease him back onto the pill? Where were you Nash? X-Pac? HHH? Just twiddling your fingers while your friend suffered. Hall did everything the WWF asked and that's what ultimately led to his firing. The WWF should have sent him to rehab and MADE him take his medication. They should have watched him more closely. They should have never played out that stupid angle in the first place. Vince McMahon, you can go to hell. You and your "WWE." You let the hippies take the name your father built you wrinkled old bitch. All that you can do now is take out oyur frustrations on wreslters and their girlfriends by firing them or raping them on national TV you bastard. I hope Austin is giving you some good ass anal penetration. You that primadonna walk all over your ass and ruin a potentially money making angle, yet you fire Hall for something that stems from your careless and wreckless planning? I hope Hall consults with a legal expert. I believe he should file a lawsuit for either wrongful termination or endangerment in the workplace. Having a recovering alcoholic around alcohol is a liability to begin with. Vince should ave known that. I'm sure he did. He just didn't care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted May 8, 2002 You do realise that Hall was repeatedly seen drinking and partying up while over in Japan when he fought Mutoh for the TC title? Oh, I guess you skimmed over that detail for another unoriginal "fuck Vince" post. Hall deserves to get canned, maybe he can get another chance 6 months or so down the road if he can prove he's stayed clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Why do I have this feeling Hall will end up like Jake the Snake a la Beyond the Mat? As a relatively new fan, I had no idea Hall's alcoholism was that bad... that kind of stuff never goes away without serious dedication, even with "magic pills". I don't really care about Vince or angles or anything like that, I just think it's kind of sad. You might say he got what he deserved, or that you're glad he's gone, but in the end it's just another victim of alcoholism and that's sad, plain and simple.

It seems everyone over looks this point when jumping on the "Scott Hall is an alcoholic bum, so let's slander & make fun of him" bandwagon. Seriously, I wonder how some people would act if they had a family member or someone they cared about in the same situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alfdogg Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Hey Best Buy, I have a question for you, and I'd like you to answer it without getting upset, if at all possible. You tell us that there is no proof that HHH has backstage power, yet you seem to infer that there is proof that Austin is a cancer. So, my question is... Where is THAT proof?

Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Depends if he's burned it or not. Obviously he's made enough that he could have a nice little nest egg stored away, but then again he could be practically broke ala Mike Tyson due to mismanagement.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted May 8, 2002 Does Hall have enough money to retire on? Don't know. He hasn't had TOO much of a problem finding work over the years, it's just been keeping it that's been a problem. I'd imagine he'd be wrongly influenced by himself and others into a few bad money decisions, though. AND he also had to fight a legal case to keep custody of his kids. Iffy, and it's too bad. He was the best wrestler in the current nWo, and I think everybody here knows it even if they don't like the guy. All X-Pac can do is sell or capitalize on other people's kills. Nash can barely move ten feet, it seems. Let's not talk about the Big Show. I also wonder where Pac and HHH are while Hall is deteriorating. Too busy furthering their own careers to care? I know that's a low blow to both guys, but cmon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest muzanisa Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I think it's fair he got sacked. Regal, Raven and presumably Eddy get tested all the time and Hall has turned up in a state at a taping, Alledgedly WM and now the Plane incident. You either let it all go or everyone gets the same treatment. Much as I'd like to blame Nash and X-pac if someone has an addiction problem it is up to them to sort it out, you can't blame his friends for his behaviour. Hopefully he will get it under control, except his main problem seems to be acting like an arsehole when under the influence rather than being permanently wasted.

I think, Do YOU know how hard it is to avoid becoming a drunk in the first place? Or even avoiding alcohol/drugs at all? It is pretty damn hard but somehow I did it, and I guess I lost my point.
