Scott Hall & Son Not On Speaking Terms…. Again
AppId is over the quota
The following is from TMZ.com:
WWE legend Scott Hall’s emotional reunion with his estranged son at the end of ESPN’s documentary about the wrestler was short-lived — sources tell TMZ, Scott’s drug problems have once again forced the two apart.
In case you missed it, ESPN aired a heartfelt documentary about Scott Hall last night — chronicling the wrestler’s drug-fueled fall from grace — in which Scott and his son Cody poignantly reunited after not speaking for years.
The documentary ended on a promising note — with the father-son duo working together to launch Cody’s wrestling career.
But Scott’s ex-wife Dana tells TMZ, the reunion in May barely lasted a month — and once again, the two are no longer on speaking terms.
We’re told Cody gave up on his dad due to “constant verbal abuse from Scott while he was binging” — and he soon moved back home with his mom.
Dana tells us, Cody simply felt it was “too hard seeing his dad in that kind of state.” We’re told Cody has no current plans to continue wrestling. Scott’s rep had no comment.
Raw Rating, Linda Breaks Campaign Rule? WWE Has Spent 6 Figures On Scott Hall
AppId is over the quota
- This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 3.1 cable rating on the USA Network.
- The Federal Election Commission has ruled that Linda McMahon violated election laws during her 2010 campaign by appearing in a WWE commercial for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. It’s been decided that no action will be taken, but it could be something her opponents pick up on.
- As part of the promotion for the ESPN E:60 profile on Scott Hall’s drug and alcohol addiction it’s been revealed that WWE have spent “in the six figures” to get Hall help through various rehab stints.
“It’s the most amount of money we’ve spent on anyone,” says Stephanie McMahon.
“I just want Scott to get help and to decide for himself that he needs help. It makes me sad. I don’t want anybody to pass away prematurely or otherwise really. Scott was an incredibly talented performer, larger than life, charismatic. He’s a father, he’s a friend. I’m sure he means a lot to a lot of people and it would be a shame for him to pass away.”
On the WWE Wellness Policy McMahon notes:
“In addition to that substance and abuse program, we also have cardiovascular testing, we do blood checks, we do physicals, we do concussion testing akin to the NFL. We’re really about maintaining the health and well-being of our superstars because without our superstars we don’t have a business. The superstars of today — they’re businessmen. They realize the healthier they maintain their bodies, the better they are going to perform, the more money they’re going to make. They’re more about playing with their iPads and gaming devices than they are about going out and hanging out at the bars.”

In his ultimate X contract match in TNA/impact wrestling destination X pay-per - leads its way of thinking: "is my way of thinking are simply difficult or go Home…that." I had same way of thinking in NXT. I am guy as a trial, not even if that's where I'm on currently with impact wrestling. I am reached, I'm credible. "I should probably not be in this, but that's what I'm involved in at this moment, so make an example of these guys and they show that I have a lot of my life to a level in this profession be sacrificed."
His thoughts about his experiences as a WWE superstar & why he believes it has made does not work for him in the long run: "it's easy: I'm a professional wrestler." Looking for entertainers. You are looking for people who are ridiculous, to entertain people. This is not me. I did almost 15 years, because I wanted to become a professional wrestler. I wanted the respect of the public to attract people who see their hard-earned money not offend professional wrestling and their intelligence paid. This is presented unfortunately not what the WWE. "This is not an instance of me is bitter and angry at them, I knew what I always in, when I got there."
If he has addressed were, to return to the ring of honor & whether he himself as part of ROH could imagine the long term future with Sinclair Broadcasing: "with Sinclair broadcasting will be the new owner of ring of honor, I have not been addressed." I am always open to discussion, because I am a businessman. From what I heard I a very fresh match for a large amount of the wrestler on this list because I not familiar at the moment, present with the ring of honor product. I have a story, with the company, so just think it would be a progressive step if we could negotiate business. But again, I have not of them, contacted was so when the opportunity presents itself, I'm open to discussion. "

Eric Bischoff Interview: Still Mad At Jeff Hardy, Scott Hall, WWE-"Wrestling"
TNA's Eric Bischoff was one of the featured guests on this week's live edition of the award-winning Monday Night Mayhem. You can listen to an MP3 of Eric Bischoff's appearance on the show by clicking here.
Questions were taken via Eric's official Facebook page (Facebook.com/TheEricBischoff), along with The Mayhem Line (877.666.2110).
Interview highlights courtesy of The Mayhem's official correspondent, Paterson from New Jersey:
What Jeff Hardy could effectively give back to TNA if a return to the company facilitates itself & his reaction to the closing moments of the Victory Road Pay-Per-View:
"I'm the wrong person to ask that question of, and I shouldn't be. I can't understand why I feel the way I feel, therefore I certainly can't explain it. I'm still angry at Jeff Hardy, so it's hard for me to discuss what I think he could do or should do, because until I quit being angry at him and about the situation, whatever would come out of my mouth would probably be counterproductive."
How the TNA return of "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels came to fruition & why he was "very happy when he came back":
"I don't really want to go into the behind the scenes of it. I was impressed with Chris when I first came to TNA. I was surprised when he left the company, but I understand it was business. There were changes, and decisions, and moves that had to be made, but I also knew that everyone in TNA fully expected to have Chris back at some point. I was very happy when he came back. He's a good athlete, he's a good character, and I'm interested to see how that character evolves as the weeks & months go by."
His opinion of the wrestling promotion that used the Scott Hall incident from last weekend to promote their Internet Pay-Per-View:
"I'm not gonna judge them. I wasn't there, I don't know what led up to it, I don't know what kind of shape Scott was in before he went out. Was he stumbling around backstage for 2 to 3 hours? Was it obvious that he was in that shape? Did he show up two minutes before he had to go out and they had to scramble? I don't know because I wasn't there. I'm not going to pass judgment on them for letting him go out. I came across the video, and my wife & I watched it together, and it was very sad. I wasn't angry at the promoters for showing it & recording it. I was just sad for Scott."
His reaction to the WWE's decision to re-brand its company, eliminating the word "wrestling" from its name:
"I think it's kind of odd to be honest with you. I understand from a marketing point of view the pressure that he's under. Professional wrestling is & has always been a tough sell in the advertising community & mainstream television community, simply because it doesn't fit into a particular niche. That's always been a challenge in our industry, but at the same time, it's the thing that makes us unique, and it's the one thing that makes wrestling fans as loyal as they are. To knowing alienate or turn your back to such a large passionate group of fans, I understand it but I don't necessarily agree with that. Time will tell if Vince made a right decision or if this will be another XFL moment."
