Well, according to a shoot interview he did it kinda went as follows..

>Hall: hey Vince.. why don't you ever give me the belt?
>Vince: Because you don't need it.
>Hall: hey yo.. why not?
>Vince: because you're over.
>Hall: over?
>Vince: yeah, your character doesn't need the belt to be at the center of attention, the belt is a prop you know?
>Hall: I thought it was a prestige thing?
>Vince: hell no, its a prop that makes people more interesting, but you're interesting enough that you dont need it to sell merch. which is what its all about.
>Hall: makes sense, can I have a raise now?
>Vince: Hmmmm... No.

Scott Hall is the prime example of why being a total package means nothing ultimately.
There will be guys better in the ring (Shawn, Bret).
There will be guys with better bodies (Nash, Sid).
There will be guys better on the mic (Hogan, Savage, Flair).
Only if you luck into a certain gimmick like Goldberg or Undertaker you can become a world champ despite being a shitter.

Hardy was like the most over guy in the company but still took years to win the belt. Hunter legitimately lobbied against giving him the belt because he was a supposedly unreliable.

He was only a upper midcard/main event guy from 94 to 96 in WWE. The thing is that back then title reigns were longer, especially first reigns. Yokozuna had to get 7/8 months, as did Bret; Nash got a whole year and Shawn also got something like 8 months. There just wasn't time for him

lol only correct on Nash being taller. He looked like every other tall guy with a goatee during that era Adam Bomb to Test. People always go on about how modern WWE wrestlers all have the same long hair & beard, but that shit was actually still going on back in the 90s lol. Razor Ramon actually stood out.
