10 Greatest Comebacks In Wrestling History

10. Bad Times Don€™t Last, But Bad Guys Do

At twenty-five years old, Scott Oliver Hall was working as a bouncer at the Doll House strip club, when he was involved in a serious dispute over a female acquaintance. The other guy had smashed all of the windows of Hall's car, and when Hall found him around the corner of the parking lot and hit him, the man went down... and pulled a gun. Hall grabbed for it, and the two fought, only for the larger man to get the upper hand. Scott Hall took his rival's .45 from him, and shot him in the head at point blank range. Although the charges of second degree murder were dismissed for lack of evidence, that brutal, bloody moment stayed with him for the next quarter of a century: through his time in the AWA as 'Big' Scott Hall, WCW as the Diamond Studd, the WWF as Razor Ramon and back in WCW again with the NWO as Scott Hall once more, displaying on the way one of the keenest minds for the business around. Sadly, by this time he was in a handicap match against cocaine, prescription painkillers, downers and booze, and Hall was getting creamed. After WCW collapsed and was purchased by the then WWF, Hall would spend short periods in various promotions and organisations, rarely for long stretches of time. WWE released him in 2002. TNA released him in 2010. Hall went through a dozen attempts at rehab, WWE having spent in the six figures sending him to various expensive retreats - according to Stephanie McMahon, that€™s the most they've spent on anyone. By 2013, Hall was so far gone that people didn€™t think he€™d live that much longer. One of those people was Hall himself. It took an intervention from old friends Diamond Dallas Page and Jake €˜The Snake€™ Roberts to place Hall back on the road to recovery again in 2013. He managed to cut out the booze and drugs, lost a little weight, had a total left hip replacement that took care of a lot of the pain he€™d been masking by getting wasted. In late 2015/early 2016, Scott Hall is dealing with a lot of the demons that drove him over the decades, and focused almost exclusively on staying healthy and supporting his son Cody in his own dream of becoming a pro wrestling megastar.
