World Wrestling Federation

Hall wrestled in the WWF as Razor Ramon, a Cuban-American immigrant, who was modeled after Al Pacino's character from the movie Scarface. He gained considerable popularity, and won the Intercontinental Title on four occations. His ladder match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X for that title is considered to be a classic. Later, as Hall was leaving for WCW, he and three other wrestlers (Shawn Michaels, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Kevin Nash) broke character and celebrated in the ring together without authorization. The four along with Sean Waltman were known as the Clique.

World Championship Wrestling

Hall's first appearance on WCW television after leaving the WWF was an unannounced interview where he appeared in street clothes, claiming to be "an outsider." He was then joined in the following weeks by Kevin Nash, the two claiming they were going to undertake a hostile takeover of WCW. The storyline directly paralleled the real-life competition between the WCW and WWF. At the following PPV, The Outsiders, along with a mystery partner, took on Sting, Lex Luger and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

The mystery partner turned out to be Hulk Hogan, and the three formed the nWo, or New World Order. The group stormed WCW, enlisting such stars as Syxx, The Giant, Buff Bagwell, and many, many more. The group took off in popularity and consisted of the majority of WCW TV for years to come.

After the nWo storyline, Hall enjoyed some stints as a singles wrestler, but drugs and criminal convictions ruined his career. Despite this, his popularity continued to skyrocket. WCW capitalized on this and continued to drop his name on televised events months after he had been taken off TV. This habit even got to the point where at a PPV event there was a match between Kevin Nash and Goldberg for Scott Hall's contract.

Extreme Championship Wrestling

Hall's ECW career was very brief. He wrestled three non-televised matches on November 10 & 11, 2000. Then on Christmas Eve 2000, Hall was arrested for DWI and his ECW career was suddenly finished. He then wrestled in Japan and did some Indy shows in the United States before returning to the WWF (WWE).

World Wrestling Entertainment

Hall returned to WWE after Vince McMahon purchased WCW in a redux of the nWo storyline. The storyline was plagued with writing problems and ultimately a resurgence Hall's alcoholism resulted in his release.

Total Nonstop Action

Hall now works for Total Nonstop Action (TNA), in which he has recently paired up with Kevin Nash. With Nash and Jeff Jarrett, they briefly formed the Kings of Wrestling to feud with Jeff Hardy and A.J. Styles. Hall is now taking a hiatus from the company to get his life in order.
