WWE Hall of Famer shares insights on why it was not important for Scott Hall to win a World Championship
WWE Hall of Famer Larry Zbyszko recently discussed why it was not crucial for the late Scott Hall to win a world championship.
Scott Hall, also known as Razor Ramon, was undoubtedly one of the most influential and charismatic wrestlers of his era. Despite being a top star during his stints in both WWE and WCW, it comes as a surprise that Hall never held a world championship.
During a recent episode of The Snake Pit with Jake Roberts podcast, Zbyszko expressed that winning a world championship was not the decisive factor for someone like Hall. According to Zbyszko, if you were over with fans like Hall, drawing money and adding value, the title would eventually become less significant. Zbyszko went on to commend Hall for making everything look cool despite facing numerous health issues during his career.
"If you're over like Scott was, it doesn't matter if you're the world champion or not, in terms of drawing money and being of value. Scott did a great job. God, it was such a sad thing. He had some problems, but he had the ability to come walking out with the toothpick and made [being a bad guy] cool," Larry Zbyszko said. [H/T WrestlingINC]
Scott Hall is still remembered as a legend of the business, and his bad-guy persona in the New World Order will always remain iconic among fans.
