WWE News: Scott Hall kicked out of restaurant for drunken behavior
For Scott Hall, the road to redemption has not been easy. After many years being addicted to alcohol, he reached a state of his life where many people thought that he was on his way to the grave. Thankfully, with the encouragement of Jake “The Snake” Roberts and help from DDP Yoga, Hall was able to make an 180-degree turn towards the right direction. Hall got back in shape, gave up his addiction, and has been able to inspire others and even coach the development talent at the WWE performance centre.
With the recent Hall of Fame induction, coupled with the release of the “Living on a Razor’s Edge” DVD, it seemed as if WWE was getting more and more comfortable with bringing him back in the fold. However, a recent incident looks like it may be a turn for the worse for the former WWE Intercontinental Champion.
TMZ broke the news that Hall was ejected from a T.G.I. Friday’s for being drunk, as witnesses saw him consuming both Coors Light and tequila. Hall was escorted by police after having a confrontation with the bartender at the restaurant in the Atlanta airport, in which he was reportedly denied in his advances by the female employee. As a result, he called her a b--ch, not knowing that her father was nearby. The police were phoned after Hall refused to leave the area.
This story is indeed a sad one, as Hall has been making an amazing recovery after being on the path to death. I have interviewed both DDP and Jake Roberts on my show, Pancakes and Powerslams, and they both tout about how proud they are of Hall’s recovery. In addition, I have seen both the “Resurrection of Jake the Snake” and Living on the Razor’s Edge” DVDs, both showing Hall’s uphill but successful climb back to being the “Bad Guy” that was one of the most popular wrestlers in the 1990s.
Hopefully, Hall has the right resources to bounce back from this unfortunate circumstance. There is no doubt that his accountability partners, DDP and Roberts, will make sure to step in and give some tough love like they did before. As talked about in his DVD, it appears that he is still battling what happened at a bar over 30 years ago, in which he killed someone out of self-defense.
At this point, Hall can not afford to allow the alcohol demons of his past to interfere with the significant advance that he has made in his life and professional career. With a plethora of knowledge to offer upcoming talent and such an amazing story of redemption, hopefully, these factors lead Hall to shake this incident off, admit his wrongdoing, and move forward.
