WWE: Top 5 Underrated Wrestlers Of All Time

5. Scott Hall

scott-hall Back in the early to mid nineties, Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon was one of the hottest stars in America. His classic matches with Shawn Michaels made him a headline attraction and also one of WWE's most interesting personalities. His gimmick at the time was of a shady Cuban gangster in the vein of Tony Montana from Scarface. The character was a hit and Hall played it perfectly, always having a knack for delivering sinister promos. After having battles with the likes of Randy Savage, Bret Hart and 1-2-3 Kid, Hall was put in a feud that would make his career. His classic battles with Shawn Michaels climaxed with a ladder match at Wrestlemania X, which would be one of the greatest matches of all time and ensure both men would go down as legends. Hall's stature in WWE would eventually lead him to be courted by WCW and he and Kevin Nash eventually agreed multi-million dollar contracts with the company. Hall would reach great levels of infamy in WCW as part of the NWO - the group that revolutionised wrestling. He would be at the top of the card for many years alongside the likes of Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Sting and Bret Hart before his vices began to rule over him. A severe drug addiction would lead to his fall from grace though he was given a chance at resurrection by WWE then they reformed the NWO is 2002. Clearly not in the shape he once was and after a disappointing encounter with Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 18 he would be released. His personal problems mounted over the years and his drug addiction worsened leaving him near death. Hall through his good friend Diamond Dallas Page is currently on the right path once again and sorting his life out - good news for all. Because of all the controversy that has surrounded him over the years, it has become easy to overlook his wrestling accomplishments and focus primarily on the man outside the ring which does great disservice to his irreplaceable talent. Hopefully, he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the coming years, giving him the validation he so very deserves.
