Kevin Nash Says That This WWE Hall Of Famer Is The “Most Underrated Wrestler Of All Time”
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has paid tribute to his late friend and former tag team partner, Scott Hall, praising his contributions to professional wrestling and calling him the most underrated performer in history.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash reflected on Hall’s lasting legacy and influence on the industry. When asked where Hall ranks among wrestling’s all-time greats, Nash had no doubt about his place.
“I think he’s the most underrated wrestler of all time. He’s on my Mount Rushmore, Scott Hall is definitely on my Mount Rushmore.”
Hall became a major star in the 1990s with his charismatic persona Razor Ramon, which was heavily inspired by Al Pacino’s Scarface. After leaving WWE in 1996, he made history alongside Nash and Hulk Hogan as one of the founding members of the New World Order in WCW. The faction revolutionised the wrestling business and helped usher in the industry’s most successful period, the Monday Night Wars.
Despite his undeniable impact, Nash believes Hall hasn’t received the full credit he deserves. However, Hall’s legacy has been recognised with two WWE Hall of Fame inductions—once in 2014 for his solo career as Razor Ramon and again in 2020 as a member of the nWo. Hall tragically passed away on March 14, 2022, following complications from hip replacement surgery. Though he is no longer here, his influence on wrestling continues to be felt, with many fans and fellow wrestlers keeping his memory alive.
What Did Kevin Nash Say About Why Scott Norton Didn’t Get Over In The United States?
Kevin Nash spoke about the fact that Scott Norton didn’t get over in the United States the same way he did in Japan and said that he doesn’t understand why Norton didn’t achieve the same level of popularity that he did in NJPW. Nash said that Norton had all the necessary traits to make him a star in the States, size, athleticism and a good look, but for some reason, it didn’t translate to success.
