My first memory of Scott Hall was as The Diamond Studd in WCW. I didn't see the whole of his WCW run as this character (1991-92) but I do recall watching Paul E. Dangerously trying to recruit him as a member of The Dangerous Alliance back in 1992 when WCW used to air on ITV. As WCW programming in the UK was a couple of months behind the US version, the Dangerous Alliance recruitment angle aired at (more or less) the same time when the WWF promoted a series of vignettes featuring a new wrestler going by the name of Razor Ramon. It was quite strange to see him appearing on both shows at the same time.
Although the character of Razor Ramon is fondly remembered, his run only lasted for around four years (05/92 - 05/96, IIRC). He managed to produce a fine body of work during that period, including those two ladder matches with Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania X and SummerSlam '95, which were arguably the best of his career. I don't think his time in the nWo topped that.
He was a great singles wrestler, but a lot of time in the nWo saw him overshadowed by bigger stars. Mainly Hogan and Nash. Even in the Wolfpac, he had to contend with the likes of Luger and Sting. WCW had so much main event talent in the mid to late 90s though, which prevented him getting the push he perhaps deserved.
Was watching this from Hall of Fame. Quality.
