Scott Hall who was famously known as Razor Ramon during his first run in WWE had a short run of four years in the promotion. He has always been treated as an upper mid card during his WWE run and he achieved some big success in WWE such as winning the WWE Intercontinental championship.
Kevin Nash Explains Why Scott Hall Hated His Angle With Goldust
At the end of his WWE career, she had a weird storyline with Goldust where it was shown that Goldust was sexually attracted towards Ramon which he did not like. It was a bold storyline in the time of 1996 but somehow the audience failed to connect with it and it was discontinued after a while.
But this storyline is still remembered to this very date, even though we did not get to see such storylines much after this one. Ramon went on to find further success in WCW where he teamed up with his real life friend Kevin Nash. Later Hulk Hogan joined their group and together they were famously started to be known as the nWo.
Kevin Nash who is also a former four times WCW World Heavyweight champion recently spoke on his Kliq This podcast where he talked about his late great friend Scott Hall and revealed why he did not like his angle with Goldust. He said;
“Yes. Scott and I rehashed that conversation numerous times. I was so blessed to spend like 33 years of my life with that human being. Later on, the angle goes a little bit forward and Scott’s in there with his son, Cody. Him and Cody are watching it and Goldust unzips his outfit, pulls it over, and there’s a heart and across it says Razor and Scott has to explain why this freak has a heart…Cody is like 10 or 11, enough to scar you.”
“I remember when Vince called me, and you gotta remember, this is a whole different era. We’re not allowed to fight on the floor, you don’t hit guys with chairs, nothing, and they’re real big on family entertainment. So Vince calls me in and they were doing the Goldust thing and he goes, ‘We’re gonna do this Goldust thing. We’re gonna do this thing with you’, and he goes, ‘He’s gonna be in love with you.’
“I remember thinking like, what? I just went through a long angle with Shawn and I worked with Kev, who was like a big killer. He goes, ‘Let me tell you about my first homosexual experience’, and I remember sitting, me and Kevin were both sitting in Vince’s office at TV. I looked at Kevin and my first thought was, as opposed to your most recent, like you and Warrior on the bearskin rug?
“He was talking about when he was living in North Carolina and was hitchhiking one time, and I don’t know anything about Vince’s past, but I’m thinking, hitchhiking from where, the pool to the country club? Like what? He said some guy picked him up and was like rubbing his hand on his leg. I’m thinking okay, now you told me. What does this have to do with wrestling? But I remember being really resistant to it. That wasn’t the way we were doing business.”
