10 Amazing Contributions Scott Hall Made To Professional Wrestling

10. Elevating Others

One of the most entertaining angles of WWF’s New Generation era was The 1-2-3 Kid’s unbelievable upset over peak-heel Razor Ramon, not to mention the shenanigans that followed involving rematches, $10,000, and an eventual face turn for “The Bad Guy”.

This victory proved to be a pivotal moment for Sean Waltman, helping to cement his status as a star in the eyes of both the fans and WWF management, and that couldn't have happened were it not for the selflessness of Scott Hall.

In WCW, it was Hall and Nash’s eagerness to enter into a program with Diamond Dallas Page that would help the “Master Of The Diamond Cutter” finally get recognized by an apathetic booking committee as potential player in the promotion.

In an interview with Wrestling Inc., DDP revealed how far Hall went to help him:

“People call it politics, but it’s really who are you willing to care enough about to help enough to say ‘this guy is a good guy, you have to take care of him.’ That’s what I did for Kevin. Kevin had done that for me a bunch of times, and my career never takes off if not for Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.”
