The Bad Guy was an incredible asset to both WWE and WCW in the 1990s, and he had a legendary career. Scott Hall is one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time with four reigns to his name. In his prime, Ramon was an exceptional in-ring performer, and he had memorable bouts with the likes of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.
Unfortunately, Hall had his battles with his personal demons, which saw his in-ring work diminish. He rejoined WWE in 2002 alongside Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan but it was evident that Hall was far from his best. Nevertheless, Hall's final 10 pay-per-view matches showed a comparison of how good Hall was in his prime, and how short of confidence he was in 2002.
