You'll Never Walk Alone... RIP...
Scott Hall Interview:
On his Son joining WWE...
''I've talked to Cody about it a lot and he's in no hurry to go there. He'd rather be seasoned and polished before he makes a move like that."
On the 3rd member of NWO...
He has revealed he and Nash did not know who the last member of the group was to be, and that they hoped for Bret Hart...
"We had no idea who it was going to be. The whole third guy thing came up by accident. I remember Kev and I called Bret and I spoke to him, Kev spoke to him and we told him it was really fun working at WCW. It was really laid back, guaranteed money, it was easy. We were so used to being in a shark tank in New York. Coming to Atlanta was like being in a country club. It was really tame in the locker room in WCW compared to New York. We told Bret he should come down. Bischoff was interested, he was offering him a pretty sweet deal but Bret wasn't interested. We wanted it to be Hulk, but Hulk had creative control in his contract so he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to do. We went to the ring, we hadn't even met Hulk yet, I met him briefly at WrestleMania 9 but I didn't know Hulk, we actually went to the ring in Daytona and Hogan wasn't even there yet. He was on a jet, flying cross country from shooting a movie. Bischoff wanted it to be Hulk but before we went out, Bischoff told us "If Hulk doesn't show, I'm gonna send out Sting."
On sobriety...
"I didn't have any purpose in my life. My goal had been to be a top star in wrestling and I did that. Then I thought the natural progression would be me working in the office but it didn't happen. I had a little heart episode about 7 weeks ago, I ended up in the hospital in intensive care for a week. The doctor commented 'you're a freak, you're a genetic freak, your heart is normal again' While I was there, there was this kid who brought me my food and he was a big wrestling fan, and the kid kept coming back and one time he whipped out his iPhone and he had the before and after pics of Jake The Snake. I'd heard things but never seen the pictures. I'd talked to Jake and I knew good things were happening and Dallas was at the root of it and I thought, Do I go to rehab again? Or do I try something else? Instead of treading water in rehab, I don't know what triggered it and to be honest i don't question it. I'm moving in the right direction finally, for the first time in so long. I'm 65 days now without any alcohol or drug. I've had longer times, but I've always been in a facility. I have no cravings and I feel great."
Top Rope responds to Nash:
In a press statement the owner of the Top Rope Promotion has responded to the allegations made by Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman (See yesterday). He says Nash was paid $4,000 by cheque, and Waltman was paid $1,200 on the night, and that neither made any comment or complaint until the ''Defamatory'' and ''Slanderous'' Twitter comments they made against the promotion. He also noted that since Nash's comments Waltman has removed 8 of the 9 Tweets he made against the company.
He ended by stating his intentions, He wants compensation from the pair, and will take every legal course he can to get that recompense.
He also says he is in talks with the Virginia State Commission, and wants their licences to perform in the state rescinded.
Kevin Nash has since Tweeted that the promotion was not at fault for the ''Misunderstanding''.
Kurt Angle:
Kurt Angle has given the biggest hint yet that he hopes to end his career with WWE, he says he wants to face Brock Lesnar, John Cena, The Rock or The Undertaker in his last match, adding that he would like them to come to TNA, but that he knows that is not likely to happen.
"I'm not going to disrespect either company by telling lies or telling the truth, but I'll just say this. There's a chance that I could be anywhere to retire, and I'm sure that I'll have that option when the time comes... When I retire, you will never see me in that ring again."
On his last opponent...
"If I said that, then I'd tell you the company I'd retire with... I'll give you this, the picks would be between Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, or obviously John Cena or Dwayne Johnson. There are a lot of guys, I mean Dwayne comes in and out, you know? When it comes down to it, hopefully one of the guys comes down to TNA and I can retire there, but you don't know what's going to happen. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and tell you that I'm going to stay in TNA or that I'm going to leave TNA. I love TNA and I love to work for the company, but there comes a time when you know that you want to retire and how you want to do it, and you gotta do it your way."
So thank you and goodbye TNA...
But will WWE take him back???
