10 Times Wrestlers Were HORRIBLE To Fans

3. Scott Hall's Cruel Rib

A moral quandary consumes anybody who'd like to think they have a heart when analysing the conduct of Scott Hall, particularly since he has tragically passed away after a life you could say was doomed.

Hall experienced significant trauma throughout his entire adult life after he accidentally killed a man in 1983 in self-defence. The post-traumatic stress disorder influenced every behaviour in his life. He self-medicated to an infamous and fateful degree, but he also projected his self-loathing.

He was, at times, an awful and callous human being. He seemed to delight at times in making his peers look and indeed feel bad, lording his effortless star power over them and bragging that he'd use his leverage to kick out of their finish.

According to Bret Hart, who wrote as much in his autobiography, Hall wouldn't simply refuse to sign an autograph. He was more cruel than that; he'd make fans wait, thinking they'd get one, before just...not bothering.

Bret also claimed that Hall, much like the Warrior, once refused to sign an item for an ill child at a convention.
