10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (March 18)

10. Scott Hall Felt At Home In The WWF Right Away Due To Curt Hennig

Signing on with the WWF towards the end of 1992, Scott Hall morphed into Razor Ramon. The Latino character marked a big break for Hall, and was significantly more appealing to him than an army brat gimmick Vince McMahon had envisioned. 

Right away, Razor started to move up the ranks.

Much to the relief of Hall, he could count on some major friends to help bed him into the WWF system. Curt Hennig was one of those men, someone Hall knew incredibly well from his time in the AWA. In the 1980's, Hennig and Hall had been placed together in a tag-team, with the idea being that the latter would glean knowledge from Curt.

Speaking with Pandemonium Radio, Scott Hall stated that he felt secure straight away when he joined the WWF in'92. The main reason for this was the influence of Curt Hennig, who was starting to move away from a full-time wrestling role by the time his pal was hired. 

Associated with the likes of Bobby Heenan and Ric Flair, Hennig also had a close working relationship with Vince McMahon, something Hall was similarly keen to foster.
