There’s a select few in the wrestling business that knew Scott Hall both from a professional and personal perspective and one of those men was Eric Bischoff. Hall sadly passed away on 3/14 following surgery complications from breaking his hip and Bischoff, who was WCW President arguably during Hall’s hottest run, spoke with FOX 54 out of Augusta, GA to reflect on the man he knew inside and outside the ropes.
“He was a very kind person by nature. He was a very caring person by nature. He was a generous person in many respects,” Bischoff started before commending Hall for his ability and knowledge in the wrestling ring. Eric noted that holding a World Championship never matter to “The Bad Guy.”
“He had a very healthy professional attitude about that. Scott was very comfortable with his role, and his abilities, and where he was positioned,” he said, “If anything, any of the comments that I heard from Scott dismissed the necessity for that accolade.”
“Scott’s gift to the wrestling business was the depth of understanding he had, and how to create emotion by tapping into the psychology of what made the audience tick. It’s knowing what they want, and helping them get there emotionally. Scott knew, as a talent, how to physically tell a story [through a wrestling match]. Sometimes the nuances were so subtle. It was a look, it was a pause. It was the little things as much as it was the big things that people see.”
