Seriously, I miss those ice cream bars... bring them back!!

ESPN did a pretty short but well done documentary on Scott Hall. Pretty depressing stuff though, and some of this is definitely saving face like what Stephenie says about them having to mutually part ways in 2002, I'm sure everybody remembers the real story about him being drugged up or something on one of the plane rides.



It definitely is weird to think he of all people is still alive today though, considering so many other legends and great wrestlers have passed and had short lives sadly. I wish him the best as always, but yeah. Damn.

Saw this not too long ago. It's depressing, and some parts of the documentary are very hard to watch.

watched it this morning. that is a great short documentary on Scott Hall. very emotional road for the bad guy. nice to see that his son is making the most of his life given left and keeping his dad sober and drug free possible.

Indeed it is, such a sad story. I can't imagine how much killing someone, even if it was in self-defense, would mess you up. Everything makes sense with him now.

[Xeogred]

That part did kind of leave my speechless. Always been a big fan of him, but yeah... that part was a real punch to the gut as a fan.

I never got this, why do wrestlers end up with very sad lives
I also feel like its a very sad ending to Scott Hall's career , he was one of the top

Actually if u think about it entertainment wise, he was always the funny one coming with new ideas and stuff to laugh at. I believe he is very very unappreciated

Hall is without a doubt one of the most underrated guys when in came to in ring ability.

For a guy his size he was surprisingly good on his feet. His two IC matches with HBK are a testament to that. He slowed down a good bit by the time he hit the NWO but his mic and promo skills never missed a beat.

Its a shame he never got a world title of any kind.

Didn't he once win the TV title and then throw it in a garbage can?

So it's official, last Thursday was the highest rated Impact in TNA history, straight from Vince Russo's Facebook:

Thank you and the 2+ million for making this past Thursday's Impact Wrestling the most viewed show in company history.

I can't believe it. I mean, I understand that Hogan is one of the most recognizable figures in the entire wrestling industry, and even outside of it. But this storyline was just so incredibly poorly executed. I can't believe that this generation eats up this drivel from their wrestling. One minute Hogan wants to tear Sting a new asshole, then suddenly he's beating up on his "friends" and is a good guy? And the best explaination we get for it the next Impact is "I was in a tough spot." REALLY?! And the wrestling fans are eating this up?

I know, some of you are saying in your heads "It wasn't Hogan and Sting that drew the ratings, it was James Storm winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time that drew in the ratings." I'd love to agree with you there, because it was a cool moment. But that just isn't the case because apparently the 4th quarter, which was the title changeover, drew the lowest rating with 1.1

I am not sure how 2m people make time for a show with such a low quality as TNA impact during this era which is filled with options likes endless videogames, tv shows, internet, youtube, books, online multiplayer... just too much going on for someone to make time for pro-wrestling not to mention a really crappy one(not that wwe is better)

I tried to give TNA a chance but damn is bad. The action is not all that much, I am tired of people running in the ring which happens like every show, tired of friends turning against each other which happens at least once every show its not exciting any more, heels-face turns is almost monthly, they push people then unpush them like Mr. Anderson who was champion now he is like a nobody same as RVD who was like the hottest thing in wrestling now he is a side show, and although I think Sting+Hogan+Flair can still put on a show having the storyline revolve around them sucks big time and Dixie Carter is really not a tv person she is no where as interesting as Bischoff, McMahon, or Paul Heyman.

This company has 0 plan and I am amazed they have any kind of following. Something really fishy in that company money wise. Money spent on talent seems no where near money generated.
