Born on October 20th, 1958, the infamous Scott Hall took his first steps down the long and twisted road of wrestling in 1986, in the same year, he captured the AWA Championship.

His Spectacular Performances in the division propelled him to superstardom.

In 1989, The Now-Defunct WCW Promotion recruited Hall into their ranks.

For his first few years, Hall wasn't very successful, until he sided with Diamond Dallas Page and renamed himself
"The Diamond Stud".

DDP was already a popular figure in the eyes of the WCW Faithful, so








… More it would be logical for Hall, the rookie, to side with someone who already a grip on the spotlight.

However, "The Diamond Stud" angle wasn't enough to catapult Hall into main-event status, Frustrated that WCW wasn't dealing him a done deal. Hall abandoned the company and joined the Word Wrestling Federation under the identity of Razor Ramon.

In the WWF, Hall finally found the recognition he was striving for. He cemented his place in wrestling history when he locked up with "HBK" Shawn Michaels in an amazing Ladder Match at Wrestlemaina 10. The match-up stole the show and Hall again became hot property.

WCW, the organisation that had failed to provide Hall with the proper pushes, had been watching Hall. And, finally, in 1996, alongside Kevin Nash, brought the diamond stud back to their fold. They returned, to the shock of many, on a wcw nitro telecast, and just a few weeks later, the tow outsiders joined with Hulk Hogan to form the NWO: Regarded by many as the best Angle in the wrestling profession.

The NWO brought Hall a Reign as a WCW Tag-Team Champion, [with Nash], and a WCW U.S Champion, and he and his fellow colleagues continued to spread chaos throughout WCW, and the ratings went wild!

But the success of the NWO was too great.

Hall found himself unable to cope with the pressure of fame. This resulted in his turning to Alchahol for some sense of solace. But it only intensified his anger and caused him to vent out at his family, friends, and even his bosses.

He would forget lines when cutting promos at TV tapings, he would blow and miss spots during his matches, and he often wouldn't turn up to work at all because of his drunken state. Hall was vast becoming an embarrassment.

His actions finally forced WCW to fire him in early 2000, and Hall found himself on a very dark, and uncertain road.

Shortly after, Hall's excessive alchahol abuse finally culminated in two arrests for Driving Under the Influence, and his family abandoned him.

As Hall struggled to put his life in order via trips to Japan. Viewers were abandoning WCW in drones as the promotion became too camp and unoriginal, unable to cope with the World Wrestling Federation's New Level of "Attitude"....

Finally, The WWF succeeded in their hard-fought battle against their rival promotions. WCW, along with hardcore organisation ECW, both folded in early 2001, and 1 year later, believing themselves so untouchable they could once again recruit the best the profession had in when it was at it's prime, the WWF contacted Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and. Scott Hall, to rejoin the business, and the NWO was resurrected.

Sadly, after only two months with the organisation, Hall's demons returned to haunt him, and he again turned to drink.

After a disastrous stint during a flight back from a U.K tour, Hall was, again, terminated by the federation, and he found again on the difficult road.

Hall participated in the first NWA: Total Nonstop Action Pay-Per-View "Gauntlet for the Gold"

In 2003, Hall suffered heart problems and had to have surgery. The doctors told him to stop drinking, and so far he has not drank a sip of alcohol since.

In 2004, Hall signed a contract with NWA:TNA wrestling. Hall currently appears on "TNA IMPACT" every Friday.

In 2005, Hall was once again doing a tour of Japan, and went on another drinking binge. Because of this, Hall's kidneys are in bad shape, and no longer works for NWA: TNA.

    the WWE needs him back hide show

    scott hall aka razor ramon was one of my all time favourite wrestlers. i wish he would be included in a wwe gam as a legend because it would be sweet. i remember all of his matches and feuds with shawn michaels for the intercontinental belt- the best was the ladder match. although he came back for a while in the WWE with kevin nash i heard he had some personal problems and he left again. then he reappeared in tna with nash and wasn't there long enough to win a title or make an impact (pun intended)) bring him back. we miss you scott.

    What has he not done for the wrestling business hide show

    What has he not done for the wrestling business, I mean the guy went years and years, without ever becoming a Heavyweight Champion. I love watching his classic matches as the great Razor Ramon back in the old WWF. He also made a huge impact as a member of one of the greatest factions ever the nWo
