Many wrestling fans and critics agree that Scott Hall should’ve been a WWF champion during his first run. Hall was well over with the fans, and had the charisma and the in-ring skills to be the face of the company.
Hall is regarded as one of the best WWF Intercontinental champions in the 90s, and had put on some classic matches against the likes of Shawn Michaels. Everything was going in Hall’s favour, until his personal demons took control of his life and made him lose everything he worked so hard for.
Hall’s personal and professional life became a mess, and Hall was released from the WWF.
Hall would later return to the WWE after Vince McMahon bought WCW, but it was evident that he wasn’t the same person anymore. Hall’s health deteriorated, and he was sent to rehab. With constant relapses, one of the most charismatic individuals retired without ever winning “the big one”.
His career spiraled downwards, and there was nothing anybody could do to stop it. His career in WCW saw him win various titles, and he was one of the original members of the New World Order. But like in the WWF, he wasn’t used properly in WCW, as it was all about the Nashs and the Hogans.
Laced with gold, a bad attitude, different accent and a toothpick to round it off, Hall fit the bill of a big guy who could work perfectly.
What should’ve been a great career resulted in Hall being one of the most underutilized performers in his prime. With the WWF never giving Hall an opportunity to go for the WWF championship, the fans consider him one of the biggest names to have never held the WWF title.
Although he was never be a WWE champion, Scott Hall has found a special place in the hearts of the wrestling fans, as one of the most talented individuals the business has ever seen.
This places him at number 10 in our list of the top 10 underrated superstars in the history of the WWE.
