10 Wrestlers You Totally Forgot Worked For ECW

If you think Baron Corbin stalls on RAW in place of doing anything interesting, he looks well worth the push in comparison to Scott Hall's brief, depressing ECW run.

Born from mutual desperation - Hall's personal life was in the gutter, and ECW was in its death throes - this was not mutually beneficial. To save face, Paul Heyman claimed that he did not pay Hall for his services - cheques were bouncing all over the place - but Hall laughed and threw a toothpick at this notion, which was about the only feat of athleticism he actually performed. Inside the ring, he mugged for the crowd almost exclusively, and refused to sell for Little Guido. He did sell for actual opponent Sal. E Graziano, who squashed him in a shocking result.

Hall apparently took the gig to demonstrate to former employer WCW - the WWF showed no interest in his services - that he was on his "best behaviour", which makes his p*ss-take of The Giant that bit funnier. Even beyond his physical peak, the former Razor Ramon oozed charisma.

The only other thing oozing out of Hall in ECW was his last lot of f*cks.
