15 Things We Learned From Scott Hall On The Steve Austin Show

10. "Magnum" Scott Hall

When Scott first came to AWA he went with the gimmick of "Magnum" Scott Hall, which Austin asks about. He remarks that he got a ton of heat for it, and then says that Magnum TA was brought into Charlotte to replace Barry Windham who had left after getting mad over the amount of a payoff. At the same time TA was receiving his massive push in Charlotte, Hall was called Magum by the commentator Lord James Blears. He says that he had no idea it was going on, never called himself that in promos or claimed the character, but he still got heat with TA over it. Scott says years later when he tried to get a job in WCW, Magnum TA was working in the office and told him "we can probably give you a look but you're going to have to get your own identity."
