There's no way WWE aren't aware of Cody Hall. As the son of company legend and Hall of Famer Scott Hall, the 27-year old must be on WWE's radar, and that's probably been the case for years. There's a sense that scouts are biding their time with him, almost like they don't want to show favouritism.

Sure, because nepotism has never been a problem in wrestling.

Seriously though, Hall deserves a look in. He's a legit 6'9", has a body shape that's similar to Randy Orton and has enough experience now in companies like New Japan and NOAH that he'd be workable in WWE's Performance Center even if management believed they needed to iron out some kinks.

15 years ago, guys who looked like Hall would have been snapped up by WWE, declared a hoss by Jim Ross and thrown onto TV with that generic rock entrance track that was all the rage back then. Nowadays, things are (slightly) more measured, but there's so much potential there.

Besides, seeing a cameo from Scott as Razor Ramon would be nice.
