Former WWE and TNA Star Scott Hall Re-Enters Rehab

Kevin Nash appeared on the Live Audio Wrestling show and talked about how Scott Hall has re-entered rehab.

Hall has had very public issues with alcohol, drugs and personal demons that have caused him to go from one of the brightest stars in wrestling to a shell of his former self.

Hall was at one time an amazing athlete. He was over 6' 6" and weighed north of 250lbs. He was in great shape and could keep up with anybody in the ring.

He was a bruiser but he could also go down on the mat and wrestle with the best of them. His time in WWE was successful as he held the Intercontinental Title on a few occasions.

However it was not until he went to WCW that he found major success. As one half of the Outsiders team with Kevin Nash, Hall was instrumental in forming the NWO.

To this day, the NWO is still one of the most popular, as well as hated angles in the history of wrestling. It took WCW from being the number two wrestling company to beating WWE 87 weeks in a row in the ratings.

Hall was also successful in WCW as he held singles and tag gold. He was never able to capture the elusive World Title with either company.

Having been a top flight talent who never held the World Title never seemed to get Hall down as he was always a hard worker despite his personal issues.

That was over ten years ago though. Now Hall is out of shape and appears to be hanging on by a thread at every public appearance he makes.

His downward spiral reminds me of the troubles Jake Roberts has had in his life. Both men were brilliant in-ring performers who let their addictions and personal issues take hold and drag them down.

Hall is going to be the subject of an ESPN E:60 special that airs tonight. Here is a quote from Stephanie McMahon regarding Hall from tonight's special.

"

"It's the most amount of money we've spent on anyone," McMahon said. "I just want Scott to get help and to decide for himself that he needs help. It makes me sad. I don't want anybody to pass away prematurely or otherwise really. Scott was an incredibly talented performer, larger than life, charismatic. He's a father, he's a friend. I'm sure he means a lot to a lot of people and it would be a shame for him to pass away."

"

I agree with Stephanie when she says he means a lot to a lot of people, Razor Ramon was one of my absolute favorites growing up.

WWE pays for rehab for any current and former talents who may need it, which is a great thing to do given how many wrestlers turned to drugs and alcohol over the years.

I hope Hall gets the help he needs and hopefully this will be his last rehab stay. I do not wish to see Hall wrestle again necessarily, but I want to see him live a long happy life.
