Interesting Facts about Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall

On March 14, 2022, the wrestling world was devastated when what was almost once considered unthinkable happened when wrestling legend Scott Hall a.k.a. Razor Ramon passed away. After battling and keeping demons at bay for years and near death experiences, The Bad Guy would succumb to complications regarding hip replacement surgery. To me, Hall will go down as one of my all-time favorites as had the whole package as a wrestling superstar from talent in the ring and on the mic to great mind that could be considered a wrestling genius to oozing charisma and was someone that could be considered the embodiment of cool. If "cool" took the form of a human, it probably be Scott Hall. His story was also fascinating including battling demons for decades but unlike many of his colleagues of his generation, Hall would get redemption and for the most part, overcome his demons though he had his setbacks especially towards the end. While he didn't have the happiest story or life, his final chapters had their share of great moments and memories all the while it no doubt allowed him to prolong his life. In the days since his passing, many wrestlers, fans, and news sites have paid tribute to him. However, many of the stories feel like the same thing as most bring up the usual achievements like him being a co-founder of the nWo to his Wrestlemania X ladder match against Shawn Michaels but there's so much more to remember. I wanted to pay tribute to one of my favorites and what better way than to bring up interesting facts that could also be celebrated as achievements or moments in Hall's career.

ROH The Era of Honor Begins: Where Are They Now?

ROH The Era of Honor Begins: Where Are They Now?
February 27, 2022

2001 was a dark time in the American wrestling scene as the WWF was left the only major game in the country after buying WCW while ECW finally fell into bankruptcy. In the aftermath, many promotions began popping up like Main Event Championship Wrestling, the X Wrestling Federation, and World Wrestling All-Stars. However, these promotions, for one reason or another, failed and faded away, almost as quickly as they came. Then in 2002, two promotions would make their start. One was Total Nonstop Action (TNA) and the other would be Ring of Honor (ROH). Founded in February 2002, ROH was originally to not only fill the void in wrestling but also hold events for RF Video to sell their merchandise after ECW closed. Originally a DVD promotion, ROH quickly became the darling of the hardcore wrestling fans who focused on workrate and matches instead of over the top presentation and the cartoonish side of wrestling. While ROH has spent it's history as either the third or fourth top promotion in America, it's made it's mark as an option for fans that tired of the WWE and would be responsible for launching or enhancing the careers of many legends, some of which still wrestle to this day. With February 23rd being the 20th Anniversary of ROH's first event which was The Era of Honor Begins, we will close our look back at ROH history for the month of February by looking back at the participants and key players of that event and see where they are now.
