Other TNA news:
Scott Hall fired by TNA (from bleacherreport.com)
Scott Hall, the man whose wrestling career could have been a topic of discussion for his in-ring work, was recently fired by TNA Wrestling for his actions outside the ring.
Instead of fans talking about his success in the ring, the focus on Hall’s career will be his personal problems.
Hall’s career started to crumble in 1998, when his alcohol problems became well known around the wrestling world. WCW featured Hall acting drunk on live television as a storyline that was really the wrestler’s true colors.
Several years ago, WWE released Hall for his erratic behavior. He went on to wrestle for TNA periodically between 2002 and 2005. After no-showing at the Turning Point pay-per-view, he signed with Juggalo Championship Wrestling. Hall moved on to perform for small independent organizations before making his return to TNA.
TNA gave Hall his final shot at making a successful comeback. On January 4, Hall and his good friend Sean Waltman returned to the company. However, Hall looked out of shape, and at age 51, didn’t have any business performing in the ring. Yet, he and the rest of “The Band” were awarded the TNA Tag Team titles.
After five months with TNA, it seemed that Hall was out of trouble and was rebuilding both his career and life. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case: He was arrested two days before TNA’s Sacrifice pay-per-view for disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest.
Hall went back to his old ways, which sent the wrestler packing in the first place.
According to Wrestling Inc., he did not inform TNA management the arrest, and that brought in some major heat. Despite working the event, Hall found himself in a major hole of which he could not get out.
According to many reports, Hall was fired by TNA just a few days ago. It is a sad ending to a once great performer struggling with his life.
Will we ever see Hall back in the ring? My prediction is Hall will never wrestle again for the WWE or TNA.
Fans may see him perform in small, independent houseshows, but that remains a question. Many promoters may ask themselves why anyone would want to be associated with Hall.
A once-promising career will be remembered as a sad ending to his wrestling days
