(“I don’t want to die. But I’m not afraid to. Because what’s left, man? What do you do when they quit chanting your name?” Props: ESPN via willvojtisek)
As the WWF’s “Razor Ramon” in the early 1990s, Scott Hall was one of pro-wrestling‘s biggest stars — a Scarface-inspired bad guy known for his ever-present toothpick, gold chains, and hilarious promos. But in recent years, he’s become better known for his personal deterioration, which culminated in an utterly tragic headlining appearance at a Massachusetts wrestling show in April, two days after having a seizure. Though comparisons to Mickey Rourke’s character in The Wrestler are easy to make, the real-life story of Scott Hall is much darker.
Last night, ESPN’s E:60 profiled Scott Hall’s path from wrestling mega-success to his subsequent battles with addiction and his questionable decision to mentor his son Cody to follow in his footsteps. We don’t go near pro-wrestling very often on this site, but I thought this was heart-wrenching stuff, and worth sharing.
Let’s remember Scott in happier times. After the jump: Razor Ramon’s five greatest WWF video vignettes…
“Check my ride, mang. It’s a Cadillac, mang.”
“I through with you now…get outta here, I through witchu!”
“You got a problem with me taking whatever I want?”
“They may as well be tossing their dinero in a wishing well. Like this monkey.”
“Nobody cares where you come from, Chico. They only care where you’re going.”

I won't forget to collect my ten dollars sir dont you worry. Now as far as street fights go your right anything can happen theres a lot of things I haven't shared with Cagepotato as I just don't think its appropriate and dates back some odd years. I've spent a lot of time in Rochester,Buffalo NY I don't expect Mass to throw anything at me I wouldn't expect from two of the MANY cities I've lived in.

The thing is people for some reason think I've changed my attitude or my way of typing that I've grown some huge attitude. I've always been like this from the get go if they don't like it fuck them em right? Most of my posts like the one on the Tuf recap where I said I would break an arm or not leg go until instructed otherwise by a referee I got flamed by people for..

I promise you if I see that Promoter from MASS in that video WHILE I LIVE IN MASS I will spit in his face. I was honestly appalled by this video it made me incredibly sad. When I said it was hard to get through that for me I wasn't joking I really did pause that video several times and come back to it. If me stating that I'd do certain things in real life makes me a tough guy then okay whatever.. I'm okay with that, I promise you though I am insanely honest and upfront with you guys take it how you want to..
Take that shit over to Sherdog, CHICO.
ahem... I hope Scott Hall can bounce back, and embrace being an older man. He'd be a tight veteran voice and agent for these young cats that have zero personality in current pro-wrestling.
.
karma's cool in my book...
.
far as mkylhoey goes... he also has a valid point even though maybe he was misconstrued ...
.
.
a street fight is not the same a a fight in the cage. not even close.. in a street fight karma might get a brick in the back of the skull before he even knew someone was out for him(something bitchass sudos kfc would prolly have done)..
.
or maybe a knife in the neck... the people in Mass....yeah most of them are fucked up...i know...for a fact that they are....
.
i think you guys are turning what he was stating into a bit of nothing... it was an inocuous comment meant to maybe humble karma a bit ... i dont know if karma needs any humbling.. since i dont know him personally.. but he seems like a cool cat to me... myklhosey i dont know either. he may be a cool fucker.. or maybe he is a fucking douchebag... again i dont know. just like i dont really know any of you and you dont know me either...
.
.ya see thats the bitch of the net. people talk stuff or voice things when they dont really know who or what the fuck your actually talking to ..
.
you might be talking to a 14 yr old kid who is just talking a pile of shit out his asshole. or you may be talking to a 400 pound tranny with a dick bigger than yours...
.
.let it go homies.. let it go.
.
the point is if your a fighter .. you fight how you train.. if you train for a fight in the cage with a circumscribed set os rules.. your instinct is going to make you fight that way. and youll proabaly end up with the short shrift on the street cause your subconsciouly using those rules in the fight..
.
ive seen similar thigns happen in competitve pistol shooting. a guy trains with a 6200 dollar race gun, and he is bad ass. but he uses a stock gun he get his ass kicked in competition.. same diff..
.
anyhow lets all go have a beer and some nachos.
.
karma dont forget about our ten dollar bet on the penn diaz fight...i will be collecting lol
look mumbles take the marbles out of your mouth and ass and try again.
1) i said i wasnt talkin about me fightin karma, he would in fact get wooped in a boston block party.
2) its you you lill homo who acts hard talkin all sorts of neck online are you kiddin.
And drano, ya i spell horrible you said that last time
Karma stop actin hard let your skill in the cage talk for you im tellin ya you deff dummy asfar as a cage fighta goes im rootin for ya
@ Karma: Dont feed the trolls, dont worry about calling people out, they wont fight you. They dont have any balls to actually step into a cage and fight period.

@KingMade
Please Insert 2 Quarters
to try again
Sorry that your so damn jealous of Karma, but since you do nothing and he does, I gotta give it to Karma...and you just sound like a dumbass flapping his gums...who can't spell worth a fuck. Normally I don't care about typing mistakes, cause I make em myself but you sound like what Scott Hall looks....pathetic.
go pick on someone your own size....Karma is to big for you "MANG".
see lill man of a 155lbs i " or around that" do you renemba what happened when tito ortiz and in his prime when he was the man tryed to take it to the streets or how about don frye renemba what happined to him.
ya lill man on the rock or on the block you'd be holdin someones pocket,
but hay hommie in the cage i wish you the best, i hope to see you in ufc ppv's rockin a free potato tee
o by the way i wansnt sayin id do that to you, the hole poket thing, its pointless and just stupid to make threats with my finga's
Sad to see him end up like this, but I've seen it all before. There's only a few wrestlers who live happily ever after.
