[edit] External Link: MYSPACE

I don't think a MYSPACE should go under external links. I mean, cmon. --69.163.43.67 20:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

If it's proven to be a legit account, then it's perfectly acceptable. There are TONS of articles on Wikipedia with MySpace accounts as external links. ^---SilentRAGE! 23:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "sexual harassment arrests"

No such thing. Please elaborate. Sexual harassment is a civil law cause of action, not criminal law.

[edit] "Plane ride from hell"

Anyone want to add anything about this since its mentioned in the article for a time reference?

There doesn't seem to be anything about the Plane Ride from Hell incident. I might be adding the article, if someone hasn't already. Qubeh 00:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

i actually read something about that the other day, its a long story about when the wrestlers were coming back from insurexion (paper view) in the uk and they were all drinking alcohol and a number of incident occured, some of these were:

Brock lesnar and Mr Perfect fight over who was the better shooter

Bradshaw cuts off the hair of that guy who used to manage the hardy boys (cant quite remember his name but hes a white guy with a pony tail and blonde hair)

One of the divas were sexually harrassed

I cant actually remember what scott hall did but when i find the article i read this all in then i'l add a link along with the information, it was in one of the wrestlers autobiographies so im pretty sure its a trust worthy source

The guy with the pony tail you are refering to is Michael "P.S." Hayes. Bradshaw doing that was a rib at Hayes who is protective of his hair.--Hndsmepete 20:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fake 'Kliq' name

Someone put the name 'kadiravan' in the WWF part of Hall's bio, specifically as a member of the Kliq. I went ahead and removed it. NewPasha 17:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fansite

The Link to the "Scott Hall Express" Fansite isn't working.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2sweetnwo.jpg

Image:2sweetnwo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Regarding the Turning Point no-show

There have been some people editing, stating the reason he no showed was due to food poisoning. It does state this on the Wrestling Observer website, but last time I checked, WON wasn't deemed a credible source. TNA does not mention anything about it on their website, so it should be left off until verified by a credible source. (For those disputing that WON is a credible source, I suggest you see the discussion for WrestleMania III as for proof it isn't deemed a credible source). Lynx Raven Raide 11:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad someone said it, dear god. And when an edit is reverted, the worst thing you do is vandalize the page with a direct attack at the reverter. Gavyn Sykes 16:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Well they keep on adding it... Any chance of getting a lock until this info is verified by a credible source? Surely it has violated the 3 reversions rule by now... Lynx Raven Raide 20:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and tried to get it Semi-protected, as it's IPs that are adding the info anyway. Gavyn Sykes 22:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

It has been locked, but the info is still there, now putting wrestlingobserver.com as the source. Any chance someone could remove that since, as I have stated above, WON isn't seen by wiki as a credible source and it was the reason I asked for it to be locked in the first place. Lynx Raven Raide 00:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Here is some more information about the no-show. Nobody in TNA had talked to Hall since Sunday morning. Mangement was very concerned that he would no-show the event, since he was also not answering his phone. That night, Hall did send someone in the TNA a text message saying that he would not be able to the event because of food poisoning. The promo cut by Samoa Joe was legit. Mangement told Joe to go out and do a promo on Hall, however, Joe went longer than TNA wanted and said a bit more than TNA wanted him to. Kevin Nash was very dissappointed in Hall and was mad at Joe for taking some shots at him during the promo. This lead to an allercation backstage between Nash and Joe and an apology issued by Joe at the talent meeting today.

Hall has some demons, some people in TNA should have known that but they tried to run an angle with him and it didnt work. Better luck next time Hall tries to come back to wrestling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.167.220 (talk) 17:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scott Hall in the WWF in the 80's?

The article doesn't seem to have any mention of this run, but I certainly recall it. He was using the "Big Scott Hall" name at the time and still had the moustache. He was mainly feuding with Big John Studd, who at the time was managed by Bobby Heenan who was insisting people call his wrestler the Giant John Studd as a dig at Andre. I think it would've been around the time frame that Andre was "suspended" from the WWF and wrestling under a mask as part of the Machines tag team, so Studd needed someone else to feud with, so it would've been sometime between Wrestlmanias 2 and 3. I don't have any citations that would be needed to add any of this this to the article, so I'm not going to, but if anyone knows anything about this early, nearly forgotten part of Scott Hall's career and has some cites to back it up, please add it to the article. 76.226.99.12 (talk) 08:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

He wasn't in the WWF before his run as Razor. Are you sure your not thinking of 'Outlaw' Ron Bass? --Endless Dan 13:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
