Scott Oliver Hall (born October 20, 1958 in Miami, Florida) is an American professional wrestler. In the course of his career, which has spanned over two decades, Hall has wrestled for the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

In the WWF, he was a 4-time Intercontinental Champion.cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/intercontinental/|title=WWE Intercontinental Championship official title history|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-06-18] In WCW, he was a 2-time United States Heavyweight Champion,cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/unitedstates/|title=WWE United States Championship official title history|publisher=WWE|accessdate=2008-06-18] a 1-time Television Champion and a 7-time World Tag Team Champion, as well as the winner of the 1997 World War 3 battle royal.cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/ww3.html#97|title=World War 3 1997 results|work=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-06-18|quote=Scott Hall won a "three ring battle royal" (29:48)] In AWA, he was a 1-time World Tag Team Champion with Curt Hennig.

Career

Early Career (1984-1985)

Hall began his career in 1984 in Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF) and soon began a feud with Dusty Rhodes.cite web|url=http://www.thescotthall.com/about.html|title=Biography|work=Scott Hall's Official Website|accessdate=2008-06-18] While wrestling as part of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 1985, Hall formed a tag team with Dan Spivey, known as American Starship ("Starship Coyote" and "Starship Eagle", respectively). The duo did not garner much success, however they did face the tag team champions, Ole & Arn Anderson.

American Wrestling Association (1985-1989)

Hall next moved on to the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in 1985, where he was named "Magnum" Scott Hall and later "Big" Scott Hall, and was pushed as a babyface wrestler, similar to that of Hulk Hogan.cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#awa|title=Scott Hall's AWA Career|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-06-18] Verne Gagne, the owner and promoter of the AWA, tried to push another younger superstar to the same heights as Hogan following Hogan's departure to Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Gagne went so far as to have Hall grow a handlebar mustache and use mannerisms and moves similar to Hogan.

Eventually Hall formed a tag team with fellow future-superstar Curt Hennig, and together they defeated "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin & "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal for the AWA World Tag Team Championships on January 18, 1986. Referred to as the "Perfect Combination" by PWI, the team gained victories over "Playboy" Buddy Rose & "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers, Konga the Barbarian & Boris Zhukov, and Bill & Scott Irwin. They eventually dropped the belts to Rose & Somers by countout on May 17, due to interference by Colonel DeBeers.

After losing the titles, Hall and Hennig soon parted ways, with the AWA pushing Hall into matches for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship with Stan Hansen and Rick Martel. However, after unsuccessful attempts at singles gold and the eventual loss of his momentum in the AWA, Hall moved on to the NWA in 1989.

National Wrestling Alliance (Second Run, 1989)

Hall was brought in, under his real name, to the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) territory by Jim Ross in 1989, when the NWA was beginning to focus on developing new, young superstars such as Brian Pillman and Sid Vicious. His first and only pay-per-view appearance during this time was at , which saw Hall participate (unsuccessfully) in a King of the Hill battle royal.

Hall made little impact during this run and soon after he began jobbing regularly, after which he went on hiatus.cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#nwa|title=Scott Hall's NWA Career|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-06-28]

World Wrestling Council (First run, 1991)

Hall made a brief stint in 1991 in the Puerto Rican promotion World Wrestling Council (WWC). On March 3, he defeated Miguel Pérez, Jr. for the WWC Caribbean Heavyweight Championship, and enjoyed a reign of one month before losing the title to Super Medic III on April 20.

World Championship Wrestling (Third run, 1991-1992)

Hall returned to the NWA in 1991, although by then the region was known as World Championship Wrestling (WCW).cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#wcw|title=Scott Hall's WCW Career (1991-1992)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-06-28] He was named The Diamond Studd, whose gimmick was similar to Ravishing Rick Rude's, and he was managed by Diamond Dallas Page.

He received a significant push in his early days with WCW, but by the end of 1991 this began to fade, starting with the September 2 edition of , where Studd was defeated by Ron Simmons.

In 1992, he formed short-lived tag teams with Vinnie Vegas and Scotty Flamingo, while also teaming with members of Paul E. Dangerously's Dangerous Alliance. However, the idea of adding him to the stable fell through and he left WCW shortly after.

World Wrestling Federation (First run, 1992-1996)

Bad Guy (1992-1993)

Hall signed a contract with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1992 and his character evolved from Scott Hall to that of Razor Ramon, a Cuban-American from Miami. The Latino-heel persona was modeled after Tony Montana and Manny Ray ( Al Pacino and Steven Bauer's characters from the movie "Scarface"). Hall's nickname (The Bad Guy) and catchphrase ("Say hello to The Bad Guy") are derived out of quotes from the movie "Say hello to my little friend" and "Say goodnight to the bad guy".cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#wwf|title=Scott Hall's WWF Career (1992)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-06-28]

Later in his career, Hall claimed he pitched the idea of a "Scarface"-like character during a meeting with Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson, as a joke. Hall quoted lines with a Cuban accent and gave ideas for vignettes (also inspired by the movie) that would involve Hall re-creating several scenes, such as Ramon driving around South Florida in a convertible with a leopard-skin interior. Although his pitch was taken right from the film, McMahon and Patterson were nevertheless floored by the ideas and called Hall a "genius." Hall later learned that neither McMahon nor Patterson had ever seen or heard of the movie; thus, they believed that Hall was coming up with the ideas right then and there.

Hall's WWF debut was preceded by his vignettes, with his in-ring debut coming on the August 8 1992 edition of "Superstars", defeating a local jobber Paul Van Dow with his finishing move, the Razor's Edge (Hall had used the finisher in his run in WCW). [cite web|date=July 20|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/superstars.htm|title=WWF Superstars (1986-1997)|work=Angelfire|accessdate=2008-06-28|quote=Razor Ramon pinned Paul Van Dow at 2:39 with the Razor's Edge (Razor's TV debut)] Early on, Ramon would wear large gold chain necklaces to the ring; upon handing them to an attendant at ringside he would threaten "Something happens to this, something gonna happen to you."

Hall's first major storyline began on the September 14 edition of "Prime Time Wrestling", where Ramon interfered in a WWF Championship match between the champion Randy Savage and the challenger Ric Flair. Ramon helped Flair win the title after attacking Savage on the floor.cite web|date=September 1|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/92.htm|title=WWF Show Results 1992|work=Angelfire|accessdate=2008-06-28|quote="Prime Time Wrestling - 9/14/92": Ric Flair (w/ Mr. Perfect) pinned WWF World Champion Randy Savage with the figure-4 to win the title after Razor Ramon attacked Savage on the floor; Razor returned to the ring after the match to attack Savage; the Ultimate Warrior carried Savage backstage after Razor left] As a result, Ramon and Savage started a feud with each other, which then went on to include the Ultimate Warrior after Warrior saved Savage from a post-match beating by Ramon. Ramon and Flair were scheduled to face the Ultimate Maniacs (Savage and Warrior) at the Survivor Series, however Warrior was fired from the WWF prior to the event and was replaced by Flair's executive consultant, Mr. Perfect, who had made a face turn. At Survivor Series 1992, Ramon and Flair went on to lose to Savage and Perfect after being disqualified by the referee for constantly double-teaming their opponents.

Ric Flair & Razor Ramon]

WWF Champion Bret Hart was scheduled to defend his title against the Ultimate Warrior at the Royal Rumble, but the Warrior's departure from the WWF left Hart without a challenger, and Razor Ramon replaced him. During the feud, Ramon continued his heel persona by disrespecting Hart and the legendary Hart wrestling family. Like his previous attempts to win the AWA Championship in the late '80's, Ramon was unable to defeat Hart at Royal Rumble 1993, submitting to the Sharpshooter.

Ramon defeated Tito Santana to qualify for the 1993 King of the Ring tournament, however he lost in the quarterfinals to the eventual tournament winner and the man he lost to at the Royal Rumble, Bret Hart.

The loss began a small feud between himself and 1-2-3 Kid; it carried with him into the King of the Ring tournament; and it also began a slow face turn for Ramon, who had gained both respect for The Kid and support from the crowd. Ted DiBiase however did not show respect for Ramon, instead he began making fun of Ramon over losing to such a small jobber. Ramon's face turn was solidified after helping 1-2-3 in defeating DiBiase.cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#93|title=Scott Hall's WWF Career (1993)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-06-28] The feud culminated in a match at SummerSlam 1993, where Ramon defeated DiBiase in DiBiase's final WWF match.

Intercontinental Champion (1993-1996)

The October 4 1993 edition of "Monday Night Raw" saw Ramon co-won, along with Rick Martel, a 20-man battle royal for the vacant Intercontinental Championship.

Schyster (IRS).

At Survivor Series 1993, Ramon teamed with Marty Jannetty, Randy Savage and the 1-2-3 Kid to take on the team of Martel, IRS, Adam Bomb and Diesel. Razor, captaining his team, went on to eliminate the opposing captain, IRS, after scoring a pin following a Razor's Edge. Although he was later eliminated from the match after being counted out when IRS hit him with his briefcase, Razor's team went on to win the match, beginning a feud between the two captains.

Ramon's feud with IRS culminated at Royal Rumble 1994 where he defeated IRS to retain the Intercontinental title following the Razor's Edge.

Michaels had been stripped of the title months before due to "inactivity" (he was actually on suspension at that time), but began appearing on television with his own version of the belt, claiming he had never been beaten for it. Their feud was showcased with Ramon defending the Intercontinental Championship against Michaels in a ladder match at WrestleMania X, where Ramon retained the championship after retrieving both belts.

Hall was also a participant in the . As Hall and fellow Kliq member Kevin Nash were departing for WCW, the pair along with Hickenbottom and Levesque broke kayfabe, celebrating and embracing in the ring together. This was relevant as Razor Ramon was feuding with Triple H and Michaels was feuding with Diesel earlier that same night.

World Championship Wrestling (Fourth run, 1996-2000)

The Outsiders / New World Order (1996-1997)

Hall's first appearance on May 27, 1996 on WCW television after leaving the WWF was an unannounced interview where he appeared from the crowd in street clothes, claiming to be "an outsider."cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#wcw2|title=Scott Hall's WCW Career (1996)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-07-02] He was then joined in the following weeks by Kevin Nash, the two claiming they were going to undertake a hostile takeover of WCW. The angle directly paralleled the real-life competition between the WCW and WWF. At the following pay-per-view, Bash at the Beach 1996, Nash and Hall known as The Outsiders,cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/o/outsiders.html|title=Outsiders Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-07-02] along with a mystery partner, took on Sting, Lex Luger, and Randy Savage. The mystery partner turned out to be Hulk Hogan, and the three formed the New World Order (nWo).cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/n/nwo-original.html|title=New World Order (nWo) Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-07-02] The stable stormed WCW, enlisting such stars as Syxx (Kliq member Sean Waltman), The Giant, and Buff Bagwell.

Hall and Nash, collectively known as the Outsiders, would form one of the most dominant tag teams in professional wrestling history. They closed out 1996 with victories over Sting and Lex Luger at Hog Wild, and WCW's War Games match at Fall Brawl 1996. They defeated Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) at Halloween Havoc 1996 for their first WCW World Tag Team Championship.citeweb|url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-t.html|title=WCW World Tag Team Title history|publisher=Wrestling-titles.com] , and he gave Sherri Martel a big kiss in that match. They successfully defended the titles against The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) and Faces of Fear (The Barbarian and Meng) at World War 3 1996, [cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/ww3.html#96|title=World War 3 1996 results|work=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-07-22|quote=WCW Tag Champs Scott Hall & Kevin Nash beat Meng & The Barbarian and The Nasty Boys (16:08) in a "triangle" match when Nash pinned Knobbs] and then again defeated the Faces of Fear at Starrcade 1996.

Together they would hold the WCW World Tag Team titles from February 24 1997 to October 13 1997, often feuding with the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott), Lex Luger and the Giant, and the Four Horsemen. However, since Eric Bischoff was a member of the nWo, he used his power to return the titles to the Outsiders on a technicality whenever they lost them. The Outsiders would also use the Freebird Rule to defend their titles. With Nash and Syxx out with injuries, Hall used the last quarter of 1997 to focus on singles wrestling. Hall was defeated by Luger in a grudge match at Halloween Havoc 1997 via submission with Larry Zbyszko serving as the guest referee.

On January 12 1998 edition of "Nitro", Hall and Nash defeated the Steiner Brothers for their second WCW World Tag Team Championship. Hall eventually wrestled Larry Zbyszko at Souled Out 1998 but lost by disqualification.

While Hall was absent, the nWo split into two warring factions. Still one half of the tag team champions with Kevin Nash, the thought was that Hall would return alongside his friend in the nWo Wolfpac.

nWo Hollywood (1998)

At Slamboree 1998, Hall did return to team with Kevin Nash in a title defense against Sting and The Giant. In a shocking moment, Hall turned on Nash, costing them the titles and jumping sides to align himself with Hulk Hogan in nWo Hollywood. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/n/nwo-hollywood.html|title=nWo Hollywood Profile|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-07-22] [cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/slambore.html#98|title=Slamboree 1998 results|work=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-07-22|quote=Sting & The Giant beat Kevin Nash & Scott Hall (14:46) to win the WCW Tag Title when Giant pinned Nash] On July 6 1998 edition of "Nitro", a returning Scott Hall was handpicked by Hogan to wrestle United States Champion Bill Goldberg. Hall would go on to lose the match setting the stage for Hogan to be defeated later that night by Goldberg for the World Heavyweight Championship. Hogan publicly blamed Hall for the loss and Hall was seen as a weak link by the rest of the nWo, especially Scott Steiner.

On July 13, Hogan challenged Hall to a match on "Nitro". Hall accepted the challenge and it looked like Hall had finally gotten sick of being ordered around by Hogan and his lackeys. However, Nash interfered during the match. As he was about to Jacknife Powerbomb Hogan and regain Hall as his friend, Hall viciously attacked Nash, proving his allegiance to Hogan and nWo Hollywood. In the following weeks, Hall would mock Nash calling himself "Medium Sexy (later "Super Sexy"), the Nash Killer." On July 20 edition of "Nitro", Hall won his fourth WCW World Tag Team Championship with The Giant (and his first with someone other than Kevin Nash), as they defeated Sting and Nash (whom Sting, who had recently joined the Wolfpac, had chosen to be his tag team partner after defeating the Giant, who had joined nWo Hollywood after the tag title match was signed, in a match for control of the tag team belts) due to outside interference from Bret Hart, who was in the midst of a rivalry with Sting at the time. This title reign would come to an end at Halloween Havoc, when Rick Steiner defeated The Giant and Scott Steiner (who replaced Hall) to claim the titles even after partner Buff Bagwell turned on him.

Scott Hall's character became out of control and would bring alcohol to the ring, and his behavior on TV mirrored his real-life problems with drugs and alcohol. This had him once "vomit" on Eric Bischoff, and in another vignette, Kevin Nash along with WolfPac members Konnan and Lex Luger, followed Hall to a local bar where Hall and Nash had a physical confrontation.

On October 7, Scott Hall's ex-wife Dana wrote an open letter "to anyone who cares". In the letter, she admonished World Championship Wrestling and Eric Bischoff for not only failing to rehabilitate him but coming to the point where they were exploiting, humiliating, and even enabling him to continue his self-destructive behavior. She accused WCW of allowing Hall to perform while under the influence, and taking advantage of his real addictions to drugs and alcohol for profit and ratings. She called the angle "deplorable, disgusting, and inexcusable". She pled with WCW to discontinue the controversial angle for the sake of Hall's two children, whom she said he had no relationship with. She ended the letter by making a desperate plea to everyone to help Scott see his problems and "put himself in God's hands". She said Scott Hall remained a very sick man and his addictions had destroyed his marriage, his future, and his children's future. [citeweb|url=http://www.fortunecity.com/olympia/wolfpac/107/hall.htm|title=Scott Hall's ex-wife, Dana Hall, speaks out]

Hall's character ducked Nash throughout the summer of 1998, but the two former friends eventually faced each other on October 25 at Halloween Havoc 1998. After hitting Hall with two Jackknife Powerbombs, Nash left the ring and lost the match by count-out in what was seen as an act of mercy. [cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/havoc.html#98|title=Halloween Havoc 1998 results|work=Wrestling Supercards and Tournaments|accessdate=2008-07-22|quote=Scott Hall beat Kevin Nash (14:19) via countout] Hall was then ousted by nWo Hollywood after Steiner took control in Hogan's absence in late 1998. He would then refer to himself as the Lone Wolf and was still as popular as ever amongst fans. At Starrcade 1998, Hall disguised himself as a security staff member and used a stun gun on WCW Champion Goldberg during his title match with Kevin Nash. Having not seen the interference, Kevin Nash jackknifed and covered Goldberg to become the WCW Champion and break Goldberg's impressive winning streak.

nWo Reunion / United States Champion (1999-2000)

It seemed Nash and Hall were seeing eye to eye again, and it all came to a head in January 1999 when the two nWo factions rejoined.cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#99|title=Scott Hall's WCW Career (1999)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-07-22] Scott Hall feuded with Goldberg and faced him in a "Ladder Taser Match" on January 19 at Souled Out 1999.

Hall would not be seen again until October 1999 when he and Kevin Nash began sitting at ringside during WCW television, proclaiming that "the band was getting back together." On November 8 edition of "Nitro", Hall defeated Bill Goldberg, Bret Hart, and Sid Vicious in a Texas Tornado Ladder match to win his second WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, [cite web|date=1999-11-08|url=http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999111m.htm|title=WCW Monday Nitro - November 8, 1999|work=DDT Digest|accessdate=2008-08-26|quote=US Title Texas Tornado Ladder Match: Scott Hall vs. Sid Vicious vs. WCW US Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart vs. Bill Goldberg.

However, Hall vacated the TV title by throwing it into a trash can eight days later on Nitro. Hall's U.S. title was soon stripped due to a knee injury and awarded to Chris Benoit. Hall & Nash would eventually team up to defeat Bret Hart and Bill Goldberg on December 13 edition of "Nitro" for their sixth WCW World Tag Team Championship as a team.

After the nWo returned in December 1999, Hall soon joined team mates Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett, and Scott Steiner in what was coined "nWo 2000."

As 2000 came along, Scott Hall would get involved in a feud with WCW World Heavyweight Champion Sid Vicious and nWo team mate Jeff Jarrett for the WCW title. Sid pinned Hall in a match also involving Jarrett at SuperBrawl 2000 on February 20. This would be Scott Hall's last WCW pay-per-view appearance and ended his stint in WCW.

Extreme Championship Wrestling / New Japan Pro Wrestling (2000)

Hall wrestled in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) for a brief period. He wrestled two non-televised matches (one against Big Sal, the other against Justin Credible) on November 10 & 11, 2000.cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#01|title=Scott Hall's Independent Career (2000-2001)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-08-26] He then wrestled in Japan and also did some independent shows in the United States. When he was in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he was a part of nWo Japan/Team 2000/ArisTrisT usually tagging with Masahiro Chono, fellow WCW alumni Scott Norton or Super J/Black Scorpion/nWo Sting. He was very popular with NJPW fans for the duration of his stay. The highlights of his stay in New Japan, however, were only defeats: a loss to All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) Triple Crown champion Keiji Mutoh (the match was booked by New Japan, but AJPW Wada officiated) and a loss to then-rookie Hiroshi Tanahashi, who was trying to break out into the heavyweight division.

World Wrestling Federation (Second run, 2002)

After this stint, Hall returned to the World Wrestling Federation and reunited with Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan to repackage the nWo in February 2002.cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/hall.html#wwe|title=Scott Hall's WWE Career (2002)|work=Accelerator's Wrestling Rollercoaster|accessdate=2008-08-26] He started a feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin and they fought each other in a match at WrestleMania X8 which Austin won.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (First run, 2002-2005)

Hall worked for TNA periodically between 2002 and 2005. He was on TNA's debut pay-per-view, and later on teamed up with Syxx-Pac when he made his debut in the promotion. Hall had three matches for IWA Puerto Rico in April 2003. On February 24, 2004, the Outsiders briefly reunited for Ultimate Pro Wrestling fifth anniversary show where they lost to Tom Howard and Christopher Daniels. They also had a match in Japan in May 2004 where they lost to Naoya Ogawa and Shinya Hashimoto. Hall disappeared until late 2004, when he made his return alongside the debut of Kevin Nash. They were both signed and offered contracts as TNA prepared for their first monthly pay-per-view, "Victory Road". Hall joined Nash and Jeff Jarrett in the Kings of Wrestling, a stable similar to the nWo. The Kings of Wrestling lost to Randy Savage, Jeff Hardy, and A.J. Styles at "Turning Point" on December 5. Hall would lose to Jeff Hardy at "Final Resolution" on January 16 in his final TNA match. After he left TNA, Hall quietly disappeared from the wrestling business.true

World Wrestling Council (Second run, 2007-present)

On July 13, 2007, Hall made his return to wrestling as Razor Ramon, albeit while wearing WolfPac themed attire, in the main event of the WWC Anniversary 2007 tour at the Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan against current WWE wrestler Carlito. Hall was defeated after Gran Apollo interfered on Carlito's behalf.

The next night, Hall won the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Carlito and then-champion Apollo in a Three Way Dance Match in the main event of the evening.citeweb|url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pr/wwc/wwc-h.html|title=WWC Universal Heavyweight Title history|publisher=Wrestling-titles.com] On August 4 and September 23, Hall successfully defended the title against Eddie Colón, Carlito's younger brother. On October 27, he again retained the title at WWC's "Halloween Wrestling Xtravaganza" by defeating Carlito's cousin Orlando "Fireblaze" Colon. In this match, Scott was managed by his friend Rico Casanova.

Scott Hall no-showed his scheduled appearances in Puerto Rico for WWC where he was scheduled to wrestle Friday December 14 in Ponce and Saturday December 15 in Caguas. Hall arrived late to the island Friday which is the reason why he missed the Ponce event. On Saturday even though Hall was on the island, he was affected emotionally by several family issues that had occurred earlier in the week and was unable to compete.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (Second run, 2007)

On the November 1 edition of "Impact!", it was predicted by Kevin Nash that Scott Hall would be Sting's mystery partner at "Genesis". On the November 8 edition of "Impact!", Hall made his return to major American pro wrestling television, rebuffing the advances of Kurt Angle's wife, Karen, and then battling Kurt in his dressing room. Hall stated that he was in TNA solely to confront Kevin Nash. Hall asked Nash why he wasn't there to help him in his troubled past, and Nash responded that it was a result of his own non-stop partying and risk of losing his family. Hall then claimed that all was forgiven and the two embraced in the ring. He also revealed that he was not Sting's mystery partner. The reunited Outsiders and Samoa Joe then began a feud with The Angle Alliance. They were to compete together at "Turning Point", but Hall no-showed the event. Rumors state that Hall cited food poisoning.Bluth, Michael [http://rajah.com/base/node/10171 "Scott Hall Update: Kevin Nash's Reaction & More Backstage News"] Rajah.com (December 3, 2007) Retrieved December 6, 2007.] Other sources cite the real reason was depression from not seeing his kids often enough. Hall & Nash were set to challenge for the TNA Tag Team titles at Final Resolution, but Hall "had other plans," so Samoa Joe subbed for him at the event; although, it is unsure whether Hall's appearance was actually planned, or if it was only a kayfabe announcement. That segment led Joe to call Hall "the phantom of the Impact Zone."

Hall appeared at Juggalo Championship Wrestling on December 21 2007 in Pontiac, Michigan who is now a member of the Juggalo World Order (or simply JWO). He teamed up with Violent J and Nosawa to beat the Thomaselli Brothers in the main event. It was Hall's first appearance since disappearing from TNA.

Personal life

Hall married Dana Lee Burgio in 1989. Their marriage became rocky as Scott had many infidelities while in WCW, especially during trips abroad. Hall's other personal issues included drug use, alcoholism, DUI, and sexual harassment arrests and lawsuits. Dana divorced Scott in 1998, only for them to re-marry in 2000 and get divorced again a year later. He has two children, son Cody, who is 6'7" [citeweb|url=http://www.rfvideo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3486}title=RF Video Shoot Interview with The Outsiders] and daughter Cassidy with his ex-wife Dana. [ [http://www.mikemooneyham.com/pages/viewfull.cfm?ObjectID=1F2CD4A0-F9C9-11D6-86C700D0B7B3F75C The arrest, however, has served as a backdrop to a much more serious situation involving the 44-year-old Hall, ex-wife Dana, and their two children, Cody, 11, and Cassidy, 7. ] ]

Scott had also been dating TNT president Brad Siegel's niece, Emily Sherman in the middle of his divorce to Dana. He had ended their relationship when they had an argument while WCW was on tour in Germany as one of Scott's ex-girlfriends had approached him and Sherman became enraged. The argument made wrestling Internet news as it also involved a food fight and a follow-up argument between Sherman and Hall the next day when Hall had to return to the US at the airport.

Recently, Scott Hall has undergone rehab at an undisclosed location in Iqaluit, Canada at WWE's expense.Fact|date=September 2008

Hall made headlines for an incident with a comedian on October 10th, 2008, during a roast for The Iron Sheik. The comedian known as Jimmy Graham made a joke in bad taste regarding the late Owen Hart. Hall had drank heavily through the evening and charged at Graham and started to throw punches, then grabbed the mic from Graham and started yelling about how he was disrespecting Owen Hart.
