>>4831097Scott’s a lot like Mickey Rourke’s character in “The Wrestler.” The only place he’s comfortable is in the ring. His family life has long been scrambled. Like most intelligent people, he’s bored very easily, which is where the booze and drugs come in.
When Scott’s in a foul mood that’s been chemically enhanced, look out. You can hear him coming a mile away. He’s mean, he’s nasty, he’s confrontational and he’s absolutely impossible to deal with. Nash is the only person who’s ever really tried, and how long can you try? How much lunacy can you deal with? You might think you know what it’s like. You don’t. It’s terrifying, like Max Cady in “Cape Fear.”
Want to know how good Scott Hall can be? TNA knew exactly what they were getting – AND STILL HIRED HIM. TNA felt it was worth the risk. (Or maybe TNA made yet another bad decision.)
I was certainly not surprised by any of the details of Scott’s recent arrest. Vintage Hall. I can close my eyes and see everything that happened. A cry for help? Used to be. Not anymore. Scott’s beyond help. He knows it. His friends know it. The most amazing thing about Scott Hall is that he’s still alive. He has a death wish. But he just won’t die. I can’t help him. Wouldn’t try if I could. He’s beyond help. Obviously doesn’t want it. Won’t change.
Nash deserves a lot of credit. He went from co-conspirator to guardian angel, and I’m not sure Hall appreciates it as much as he should. Same with Sean Waltman. Nash has put his reputation on the line for Hall and Waltman. Bailed them out of tight spots. What has either ever done for him?
Good luck to Scott Hall. I wish him well. Nothing’s going to change. Not now. Not ever.
