I'm going to steal an idea from Page 2 on espn.com here.
HEY YO!
His NWO teammates have them, but he doesn't. Hulk Hogan is "Hollywood". Kevin Nash is "Big Sexy". Scott Hall is...well, Scott Hall. Just plain ol' Scott Hall. We could call him "The Bad Guy", but he's not Razor Ramon anymore. He's Scott Hall. "Medium Sexy" is just a knockoff of Nash's nickname. Hall needs something new.
The absence of a nickname wasn't painfully more obvious than when Hall did his promo on Austin this past Monday night. "NOBODY has a beer party at Scott Hall's expense! Nobody embarrasses Scott Hall. Nobody humiliates Scott Hall." Scott Hall, Scott Hall, Scott Hall. Wouldn't have been a better promo if he had catchy nicknames to substitute for all those Scott Hall's? Something like, "NOBODY has a beer party at the expense of The Kings of Beers! Nobody embarrasses The Walking Jiffy Lube. Nobody humiliates Booger Slick." Well, maybe not that, but you get the idea.
With a big match against Stone Cold Steve Austin coming up at WM, Scott Hall could use a nickname to carve his own identity to main event stardom. What nickname would you give him and why would that fit?
"Say 'what' again. SAY 'WHAT' AGAIN! I dare you, I double dare you, motherf--ker! Say 'what' one more goddamn time!" -- Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction (1994)
I think they should just go with "The Bad Guy". Who cares if it's from his Razor persona, afterall, he was Razor, so why not use it? "The Bad Guy" Scott Hall.
If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.
I like the Bad Guy as well. I am still hoping he gets the old Razor pyro back and does the "me-me-me-me-me-yeah!" move while pointing at himself when he enters the ring.
Looks like I should stick my head in this thread...although I like my name best...'the bad guy' brings back memories of one of the better intercontental champions the wwf ever had...I hope after the split of the nwo, that he gets one last run as Razor...
Hall: "Hey maybe we could have a few beers with the boys..." Nash: "I don't think thats such a good idea..."
I love kayfabe. This was awesome. And Flair managed to go the whole segment without weeping uncontrollably. And if that wasn't enough, Hogan makes history by blading off an open-hand slap. In vaguely connected Hogan news, a Toronto-based (awooo!)
