It takes a lot for a man to be fired from WCW for being a liability. At its height, World Championship Wrestling was renowned for the recreational drugs being hoovered up by its performers, but Scott Hall was different. Scott Hall wasnt just having fun, he was hell bent on self-destruction. Famously telling a television documentary crew in 2011 that he should have been dead a hundred times by now, after WCW folded Hall went back to WWE in 2002 to participate in their version of the NWO storyline, but was released after the infamous plane ride from hell incident. Mostly passed out during the flight, Halls contribution wasnt as lairy as some others on the plane, but it was the final straw for the McMahons. Since then, WWE has paid out expenses running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in various failed rehabilitation treatments for Hall, as part of their ongoing publicity campaign to give the illusion that they have their performers best interests at heart. It was thought until recently that his old buddy Diamond Dallas Page, founder and chief proponent of DDP Yoga, had saved Halls bacon by taking him into his home and giving him a management strategy that enabled him to quit drugs, a physical fitness programme that cleared his head, and a support network that actually worked. Showing how far hed come, this year, Hall took part in a successful run-in angle at Wrestlemania 31 with fellow NWO alumni Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash, and looked good doing it. However, we hear that last month Hall was asked to leave a wrestling show due to intoxication, and has entered a detox facility. Scuttlebutt (like gossip with a buzz on) says that he may have been up for a role in WWEs developmental promotion NXT, and that he may no longer be in consideration for that role if hes relapsed again. Were crossing our fingers and toes for the Bad Guy.
