Title: Scott Hall Health Updates
Post by: mass 04 on April 07, 2011, 02:39:08 PM
Former WWE talent Scott Hall has been hospitalized following a drug overdose, reports WrestlingNewsWorld.com. No further details are available at this time.

The former Intercontinental Champion has been battling serious health issues over the past year. He was hospitalized last June for double pneumonia, which had affected both lungs. He was hospitalized again in August due to complications from pneumonia. After recovering, Hall checked into a WWE-sponsored rehabilitation facility, and checked out in early October. Hall was hospitalized weeks later as he needed a pacemaker implanted into his heart.

Hall announced last week he would not be on hand for the WrestleMania XXVII festivities in Atlanta, Georgia because the atmosphere would be detrimental to his quest to stay sober.

How old is he?
How long has he lived like this?
How many times has this happened?
How many times has he been to rehab?
How many people have tried to help him & how many times?

Is there anything left that anyone can do?
The only person with the power to ultimately change things is also the only person who consistently fails to come through.

He should have went to the HOF ceremony if he was going to get messed up anyway. I don't know the support system he has in place but if it's just other drugged addicted old workers, it obviously isn't working for him.

Of course he should have gone...
It doesn't matter WHO he's with, either way!

But yes; if you're gonna O.D., at least do it with friends.

I was at the show last night in Fall River MA that Hall was at before he went to the hospital. It was truly sad. He had two handlers there that literally helped him stay on his feet. He did fall down at least once. He could not get in or out of the ring without help from about six people. At one point he was talking to a wrestler and said "This guy is what you call a wanker over here." I kinda brushed it off at first then about five minutes later he was getting booed and he said "I'm sick, the only reason I'm here is because I dig the UK fans." Apparently he thought he was England.
He couldn't do any of his gimmicks he didn't try to sell photos or autograph. It was just really, really sad. I wasn't there to see Hall, I was there for the show, but there were a lot of people there to see him. He was trying to put on a show for the fans, but was unable to do anything.
It really wasn't funny. It was just sad. I used to think Scott Hall was really cool. I just hope he can get some kind of help. The whole thing left me really bummed out.
However the company that put the show on is called Top Rope Promotions, and they were saying all night that they were having there first internet pay-per-view this Sunday on something called wrestlestream.com. You wouldn't think The Scott Hall segment would make it on.

I think it's sad, and also perplexing that some/many of the most brilliant minds in the business are such fuck-ups when it comes to the drug abuse end of things.

Wonder if that adds to the genius...
Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

No, that is the result of recreational drug abuse brought on by the stresses of being on the road 3 days per month.

Hall has a pace maker in his heart. He had better smarten up or he'll be pushing up the daisies soon enough. Another sad case of addiction.

Post by: The Showstoppa on April 11, 2011, 05:34:56 AM
As a worker, Hall was always incredible.  IMO, he carried the early nWo with in-ring work as Nash and Hogan certainly didn't/couldn't.  But what a freakin' train wreck outside the ring.  I know addiction is tough, but when you have had the resources he has over the years, its inexcusable to not clean yourself up.  If not for himself, how about for his kids?  I don't care how much someone says they "love their kids" if they continue to do what he does, they really don't.  It's one thing if you are broke, skid-row bum, but to have had the money and access to top docs and facilities that he has had over the years and CHOOSE not to use them is sickening.

I totally agree and welcome back, Show.  :D

Hall doesn't get enough credit for his work. IMO opinion, his match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WM18 was amazing. As was his fued with Michaels and ALL his NWO work.

Thanks man!  Work schedule has been really rough the last month, but hope it starts to even out again now.

I just hate that Hall can't get his stuff together.  People can make fun of and laugh at guys like Luger all they want, but at least he appears to have cleaned himself up and gotten his life together.  Wish Hall would do the same.

STATEMENT FROM TRP OWNER STEVE RICARD RE: Scott Hall

“Top Rope Promotions has been holding family oriented wrestling shows for 30 years now, and on our 30th Anniversary event, we brought in one of the biggest names in pro wrestling, Scott Hall (aka Razor Ramon).

We drew a packed house and a good majority of them were there to see Hall. Hall and his people down in FL had all claimed he was clean and good to go. His flight and hotel were pre paid, and his appearance fee was demanded upon arrival at the airport (which he asked for within 3 min of being picked up).

Hall had arrived in a wheel chair with 3 bottles of prescription pills in his possession. Hall had performed an interview with our local newspaper The Herald News around 6 PM on Thursday night, saying how much he was looking forward to coming to the show, and how he was clean. Less then 24 hrs later, he showed up in the state he was in, demanding his appearance fee. Right off the bat, we were in a bad situation.

Having Hall at the building, already pre paid with his appearance fee, hotel, flight, etc. He even harassed my driver in the process. Hall was persistent to appear on the show. His heart was in the right place, unfortunately I can’t say the same about his mind or his body.

Throughout the night he made threats to numerous members of my staff, as well as myself demanding more money, demanding to go to the ring when he wanted to etc. He was also threatening to kill me if I “screwed” him over. I’m 31 years old and I should be in no circumstances, babysitting someone in there 50′s.

Hall made at best, an embarrassing performance in the ring and for the fans who came to see him, trashing matches that were on the show before him and addressing the crowd as if we were in England.

Neither Hall, nor anyone who helped line up the date, or any of his close friends or agents have called to apologize or offer a refund for his “less then stellar” appearance. He showed his true colors and who he was this past Friday night. If he’s upset that we’re airing a stream of this atrocious appearance, maybe he should issue an apology to the fans, the promotion, and the workers of the company. One would only assume that no one that night got what they paid for, myself

Exactly...stop booking the guy, as simple as that. Hall is a grown man who has made a lot of bad chioces and he is far from innocent in this situation. But, there will always be some "promoter" and that term I use loosely, who will still bring him to make a few quick bucks off of Hall's name or book him and hope for a train wreck like the one in Fall River for some quick publicity...not saying this is what this guy did though.

When I saw Hall on the card I told my brother it was 50-50 he would show up. The Next TRP show has The New Age Outlaws. What kinda shape are those boys in? I know BABG was in TNA fairly recently.

Of the few promoters I've met & dealt with, only ONE did I think was decent.

On the other hand, it's hard to doubt this guy with the video evidence we have depicting Hall's actions.

Not sure if you know about this or if you remember, Mass but there was a match at an independant show a few years ago with older  semi-retired wrestlers on the card. Some are now dead. The main event had Jake Roberts vs Jim Neidhart. Roberts cut a promo prior to the match and he was half in the bag staggering and falling all over the announcer. he wrestled plastered out of his mind and Neidhart was visably pissed. He threatened to leave but the promotor in the back sent out two more wrestlers and made it a tag match and Jake spent the whole match standing on the apron with Damien between his legs like a giant cock and jesturing with the fans. Wow....

Father abused the sister, his other sister was murdered, his younder sister was a whore, he was molested by his much younger step mother, he wore shower curtains sowed into a shirt to school, his grandpa was an alcoholic, etc. Unreal.

Scott Hall’s ex-wife Dana has taken to her Twitter account to beg for prayers for Scott Hall. As we reported earlier, Hall was rushed to the hospital yesterday after overdosing on prescription medications. Dana is at the hospital with Hall and has reached out to Sean Waltman, Kevin Nash, and Shawn Michaels to be there to help Hall.

Dana tweeted: “Everyone pray he lives thru the night so we can do what needs to be done here,omg,we will need a miracle 2 get thru 2 him”

Dana’s Twitter account has been confirmed to be real by Sean Waltman and WrestleZone.com

bad they want them and will pay almost anything, it's such a dirty business you're there to get help and as soon as you walk in the door the staff are showing you a menu of what's available at 10x the street price. Fucking bullshit

from Nash-


http://kevinnash.tumblr.com/ (http://kevinnash.tumblr.com/)
Remember Wrestlers are People, JUST Like YOU
Over the last few weeks, since the horrifying New England appearance of Scott Hall, my Twitter page has blown up with plea’s to help Scott. First of all, nobody has to ASK me to help Scott Hall. I consider Scott like a brother. He’s much more than a friend. I have spent more time with Scott Hall in the last 18 years than I have with my wife in the 23 years we’ve been married. We have no secrets between each other. This is ‘real life’. Nobody knows what Scott has gone thru since early childhood to what he has gone thru up unto this point, except for me. I can tell you Scott Hall has neither a drug or alcohol addiction, Scott’s problem is he suffer’s from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Drugs and
alcohol aren’t the problem, to Scott they are the solution. He is a fragile and broken human being, not a race horse that you take a whip to to perform. Scott Hall is in bad shape and each time I talk to him I feel it may be the last. It’s gotten to the point where I save his voice mails, much like I would’ve saved Andrew’s (Tess), because I knew sometimes when I heard his message it could be the last. The media will want to blame wrestling when Scott passes. Scott was broken way before he broke into the ring for the first time. For the last 8 years everything that has come out about Scott has been negative, but I’ve been with him to the Make-A-Wish children, who wanted to see Razor Ramon as their last wish, and see him spend more time than any human being possible and cry like a baby as we drove to the next town. Saying ‘How unfair the World was’. I know how proud Scott is of his children. Every time he spoke of them his face lit up like a kid at Disney for the first time. Scott Hall is a great wrestler, a better friend, but more than anything a very caring human being. Scott never passed a homeless person or someone in need without opening his wallet. This is a guy that has the first two nickles he ever made. he’s not the Bad Guy, he’s not Razor Ramon, he’s SCOTT HALL, from Baltimore, MD. His ex-wife Dana, will be the first to tell you that she’s not perfect. For 15 yrs, I thought she was the enemy. As Scott’s condition continued to decline, and people that were willing to help continued to diminish, Dana and I found ourselves as the last 2 on the wall at the Alamo. I’ve gotten to know her somewhat. She’s a loving, caring Mother, and let’s NOT forget that Scott is the father to her children. She fears, much like I do, that Scott may not be here much longer. She’s been on twitter, and people are saying ‘she’s unstable’. She just wants to make sure her children have closure with their Father. The internet and media, I guess are against this. Let’s all watch ‘Last Call With Scott Hall” and get a chuckle on the demise of someone that had the World by the balls. Scott Hall, in his prime was one of the most handsome wrestlers (not homo). A gifted wrestler and superb mic man. If you wonder what we were all talking about on the stage with Shawn, it was incomplete this was without Scott. It was like the Beatles without John. The Kliq is a hand. There is 5 of us. Cut a finger off your hand and see how hard it is to make a fist. While the rest of the wrestling world copied ‘The Outsider’s’ style and catch phrases, the one catch phrase of the NWO , ‘NWO 4 Life’ was’nt a catch phrase, but a blood oath. You can watch all the shoot interviews you want, but it’s like talking to a soldier who’s been in a fire fight., explaining it to the media. If he’s lucky he cover’s 15% of what happened. I’m not saying that wrestling is in any way protecting our country, but I would like to see a list of soldiers that has lost the same amount of friends that Scott and I have. When you sign up for combat you expect to lose guys in your company, not so much as a fake wrestler. I have been in contact with HHH, HBK, X-Pac several times this past week. I commend the WWE. Linda and Vince McMahon and Ann Russo, for their incredible support in helping my colleges that have addiction problems. The proof is in their success. We have lost few since the wellness program started.

The World is a mess. It seems that life gets harder on a personal level each and every day. Hug and kiss those you love every day. You never know when the tragedies of this world may visit your life.

In ending, I know this is an old one, but good one (do not judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes). May God bless you if you beleive, let calmness and tranquility find you if you dont. NASH

Drugs and

I don't know what Hall's been through, but regardless...when drugs & alcohol are the solution, THAT'S a problem.
It's a problem anytime anyone turns to booze & drugs as a coping mechanism.

Hall is lucky to have friends who care so much about him.
I wish him the best.

Post by: mass 04 on April 24, 2011, 03:32:55 PM
You really aren't helping either, sister ::)



“To Whomever still cares,

I never wanted to have to write a letter like this again, and it definitely deeply saddens me to do so.

This is not a letter to bash Scott, nor wrestling. This is only the sad truth of them both.

So if you can’t handle it, or don’t want to hear it, then please don’t read this. Denial doesn’t help anyone, and will certainly not help Scott Hall at a time like this.

Nothing has changed since my letter of 13 years ago, except things have gotten worse. Scott is no longer famous; he is infamous.

The only difference is now instead of the big wrestling companies enabling Scott, it is the little independent promoters, a whole lot of wannabe wrestlers, marks and other unsavory people in which he has chosen to surround himself with in his sickness. He has so many wrong people in his life, there is no room for the right ones any longer, most importantly his children and family.

You all know who you are, and whom has been a part of dragging him out like a piece of meat to embarrass himself further. You people are only helping him kill himself, and he is doing a bang-up job of it on his own, he needs no more ‘help!’

Scott was in no shape physically, mentally or emotionally after his heart failure and pacemaker last year. He was not sober for any length of time, nor in recovery. Every door should have been closed to him at that time. It should have been over then, because look where we are right now. Anyone who gives a sick man a job who is not capable of being 100 percent sober, responsible or reliable must be a fool, or worse. I vote for worse.

Anyone with half a brain in his head could see he was not well and he should have been seeking help or his family, not engaging in this profession which only fuels the fire of his addictions. It always has.

Scott is hanging by a very thin thread at best.

Our children, myself and Scott’s family have suffered many, many years of ongoing hurt, pain, disappointment, frustration and embarrassment due to his addictions and the consequences which have followed. Scott has chosen to continue drinking, drugging and to self-destruct. Every attempt at rehabilitation, sobriety and recovery has failed. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to help himself, and when you do, you are just an enabler and part of the problem.

I am praying anyone still enabling this man will stop now. Anyone telling him what he wants to hear, and not the brutal truth, is not his friend. Anyone aiding in, or giving him an open door/opportunity or participating in any type of wrestling-related event, appearance, video, etc. with him are going to be the last nails in his coffin, and God help you.

He cannot be a part of wrestling at all anymore, and live.

I know the fans love him despite his issues and all of the bad. I know they don’t want to hear this, but I am begging you no matter what you think of me, for the sake of our kids, ‘please let him go.’ Before you have to let him go for good. Our kids need a dad for once, and not a dead wrestler. Let them have what is left of him, in the time he has left.

I pray his true friends will get him to a safe place where he can’t hurt himself anymore. I pray he will get away from the last of the enablers clinging to him. I pray he will devote every second to making amends to his children and making them a priority in this life while he is still here. That is all that matters. My prayer is that Scott would finally realize this before it’s too late. We love you Scott. We do care, we are here, but something’s gotta give, or it is your last call for real.”

http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2011/may/08/scott-halls-ex-done-4-life/ (http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2011/may/08/scott-halls-ex-done-4-life/)

"Dana Hall, 49, said a recent phone call from her ex-husband gave her a brief glimmer of hope. That hope, however, was short-lived.

“I could barely understand him, but finally heard him say he was sorry for his behavior, and after wrapping his head around it, he knew he was going to die, didn’t have much time left, and wanted me and the kids to be with him in the end.

She says Hall, however, hung up when she started to talk and would not answer when she called him back. Not knowing what his condition might be, she says she called 911 to meet her at Hall’s home 10 miles away in case he needed help.

“He sounded like he might be dying,” she says. “I was freaking out because he sounded really bad.”

Emergency medical technicians were already on the scene and climbing through a bedroom window when she arrived.

When she got to the front porch, she says, Hall was pushing an EMT out of the door.

“It was nothing short of a scene from ‘One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ meets ‘The Shining.’ This is no exaggeration ... I wish it was,” she says.

When he saw her, she says, Hall “went into a rampage against me, telling them to get this (expletive) off his property.”

“He was threatening to beat them all up, doing the crotch chop thing to them, making a fool of himself, ranting and raving like a crazed mental person,” she says.

She claims Hall, who was wearing a T-shirt and boxers, spat in her face as he yelled obscenities.

“I had my hands out to him and was crying, and he could have cared less. He just went on with his ranting,” she says. “He at one point held his hand up to strike me, and they moved me away. There were like eight paramedics and six officers. I told him goodbye. This would be the last time I would come see him.”

Now in hindsight, she says, she feels foolish after years of trying to mend fences and help her ex-husband.

“I feel like such a fool for falling for it again. There was nothing behind his eyes but hate and evil. He made his bed ... now he has to lie in it.”

It would seem indecent to joke about this anymore, as it is obviously a very serious condition.
So, I won't.



But, I feel no sympathy for him, either.
And, I won't.

At this point I would be willing to bet that mentally he is not there, whether sober or intoxicated. I would also be willing to bet that he has/is suffering from some sort of brain damage and that he is not in control of his mental thought process, that's why it's all over the map.

Whats really sad is that Hall was one of the best entertainers and highest paid earners in the business. He had some legendary matches.

A lot of people criticize his work - especially when he was new, but everybody is green when they start.
He was also considered very egotistical in his AWA days.

Regardless, I think he had some some decent-to-good matches.
Can't forget his ladder match at WM10.
Of course, he also had his stinkers; just ask Bret.

I enjoyed his matches with DDP, Goldberg, Bret Hart and Shawn Mchaels just to name a few. They should do a Scott Hall DVD. I would definately buy it.

Title: Kevin Nash talking about Scott Hall
Post by: Fallsview on May 16, 2011, 10:53:43 AM
Last week Kevin Nash was on the radio talking about Scott Hall, here is some of it...

NASH: "These people will say things like 'you need to have an intervention’ or someone said 'you need to take Scott fishing without alcohol' and no one grasps the severity of what this situation is. This is someone that has been to rehab nine times and probably walked out three to four times. He's been in and out of hospitals for the last year and a couple of times – in Providence (for a recent independent show) – what happened was Scott took a really bad fall in his house and hurt his hip really badly and of course the promoter said Hall got off the plane in a wheelchair blah, blah, blah. I talked to Scott and Scott said 'I never miss a shot and I’m going to make this shot' and I told him he sounded horrible and he said 'yeah'. Somas are the worst thing for wrestlers and I think they've killed more wrestlers than anything. He took some of those and hadn’t taken those in a long time and had a really bad reaction…they put him up there for 72-hours and the thing is Scott has been through so many hospitals, so many psych wards, evaluations and so many rehab centers that Scott knows every catch phrase and he knows exactly what the psychologist wants to hear and we’re all workers – that's what we are and in 72-hours Scott is gone. 

He’s at a place right now where the peaks and valleys are so incredibly high and low and the last week he’s been at a level spot, his health is bad. I think he went in and saw some doctors and he’s not going to walk in and get a gold label of health and when you get news from doctors that your heart isn’t functioning so well, this isn’t functioning well and this isn’t functioning well and to get all that news all in one day he went into a semi bender.

I can't make Scott Hall want to live, I can't make Scott Hall want to get better, I can't make Scott want to repair his relationship with his children, I can't make any of those things happen and the only one who can is Scott. When and if he does I will be the happiest person on earth. He always knows no matter what, day or night, if he needs me and really needs me or needs anything or anything of me or for him I will be there in an hour and he knows that. I can't be his therapist, I can't be his wife, I can't be his rehabilitation specialist but I can be his friend. I think he needs friends more than he needs people telling him what he has to do or not to do. Lately it’s like the ninth inning, two out, a full count and they’ve walked into the baseball game and sitting in their seat and telling us what’s been going on in the game – I've been doing this for 17-years with Scott, you don’t just jump into the game and tell me what he needs to do because you haven’t been here, you haven’t lived it, you haven't done that and Dana (Hall) has. A lot of people think she’s a crack pot but people forget she has two children with the man, that’s real flesh and blood and Cassidy and Cody are great kids and they deserve better but at the same time Scott – people think Scott's problem is he likes to get drunk and likes to take drugs and he's an addict and he's not – he has post traumatic stress and had several incredibly horrible incidents happen in his early youth going on to his adolescence and early adulthood and he has had things happen to him that he cannot get through. 

When you are trying to numb a memory that’s when you have a problem and you’re trying to forget something – that’s a problem. He’s not out being a rock star, he's making things in his mind go away because he cannot shut it off and does it for days at a time and then when he does think about it he realizes the problem is still there.

That's what it's starting to sound like, I can't think of many other things that would make a man do this to himself to 'forget' either that or maybe someone very close to him committed suicide?!

Title: Scott Hall selling his most treasured belongings!!
Post by: Fallsview on June 07, 2011, 08:56:34 AM
Hall tells TMZ he's hoping to sell the iconic N.W.O. leather vest he wore during his epic Wrestlemania 18 battle with Stone Cold Steve Austin back in 2002.

The wrestler tells us he's not just getting rid of the item for the money -- because the vest was just "collecting dust" in his Florida home and he wants it to go to someone who will appreciate it.

As we previously reported, Hall was hospitalized in April after collapsing during a wrestling event in Massachusetts. Doctors later chalked up the incident to a complication with Hall's prescribed medication.

Title: SCOTT HALL IN JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Fallsview on June 21, 2011, 09:10:38 AM
Wrestling legend Scott Hall was sentenced to 10 days in Seminole County Jail yesterday ... for drunkenly resisting arrest back in May 2010   

For those unfamiliar, Hall was booked back in early May 2010 when cops found Hall -- aka Razor Ramon -- drunkenly yelling and cursing at patrons in a Florida bar. Hall was allegedly uncooperative with police ... and was popped for resisting arrest. 

According to court records in Seminole County, Florida Hall was sentenced to 10 days in jail ... but the time was reduced to 2 days for time served. 

We're told Hall is planning to check in to jail on July 5th -- and a rep for the wrestler says he'll be in the medical unit because of his "bad health."
