Scott Hall in the WWF in 1996

By Scott Keith on 16 March 2019


When Hall and Nash were finishing up their WWF runs in early 1996, unlike Nash, why was Hall barely featured going out the door?  His last match against Vader at In Your House was hardly even promoted ahead of time, although Hall did get a surprising amount of offense in that contest before jobbing clean.  I take it Vince didn't fully trust Hall to "do business", or was it something else entirely?  

Hall had a lot of substance abuse problems even then, and Vince didn't trust him very much at that point as a result.  I think the feeling was that losing him to WCW was no big deal, but when Nash went with him, that was the killing blow.
