Whether your a fan of wrestling or not, you owe it yourself to see what is probably the ultimate cautionary tale ever told. Back when I was actually into wrestling, first in the days of the WWF/WWE and then later the WCW and NWO, it was Scott Hall at his ultimate peak. We all know Hulik Hogan, but Scott created one of the best characters ever in the form of Razor Ramon. Was it original? No. But it sure was a lot of fun. And the finishing move: The Razor's Edge was arguably one of the best moves at the time. And then when he left to join the NWO, it was Hogan that got all the press because he had turned into a "bad guy". But without question, Scott Hall was the MVP of that clique and kept fan interest going when it should have flamed out after 6 months tops.
I have followed Scott's trials and tribulations over the years, from his return to the WWE and then to iMPACT! wrestling. And each time, the first thought in my mind was always "how long before he self descructs and falls off the wagon"? But what I saw in this feature just absolutely stunned me. I can't believe the promoter got away with throwing him out there all doped up just so that he could honor the tickets that were bought in the hopes of seeing Hall perform.
I hope he can find peace and move onto a healthy life with his family. He has been through a lot.
