This is wild.

VICE's producers asked Eric Bischoff if he knew anything about 2 Cold Scorpio's plan to murder Road Warrior Hawk during the trip, but Bisch said no. Scott Norton knew a little about it though, and it's not like Scorp himself was very secretive about it.

The notoriously-tough flyer had heat with Ric Flair, and ended up having some serious beef with Hawk too before boarding the bus for the first show. Scorpio claims Hawk was racist towards him, and that things escalated to the point that he made a shiv out of steel chopsticks swiped from the hotel restaurant.

As you do.

Norton isn't so sure that Scorpio would've had a prayer in a fair fight; Hawk was battling Hepatitis C at the time, and he was on medication that made him weaker than usual. Even so, Scorp was so wound up by things that he was willing to go all the way if necessary.
