It’s extremely hard to take into consideration Kevin Nash without Scott Hall, or vice versa. Not only were the 2 best friends, and a part of the backstage faction The Kliq, but they helped reignite the business in 1996 once they jumped to WCW and formed the nWo alongside Hulk Hogan. And though it has now been nearly three years since Hall tragically passed away on the age of 63, Nash continues to recollect his friend fondly, each as an individual and particularly as a performer.
The latter got here up on probably the most recent episode of “Kliq This,” when Nash and co-host Sean Oliver were discussing the late Colonel Debeers. When Hall got here up, Nash gushed over Hall’s ability, especially for his size, and made a daring claim about Hall’s place in wrestling history.
“I feel he’s probably the most underrated wrestler of all time,” Nash said. “Like, he’s on my Mount Rushmore. Scott Hall is unquestionably on my Mount Rushmore.”
There definitely is an argument to be made that Hall belongs within the “most underrated” conversation. Even before his historic jump to WCW alongside Nash, Hall had wracked up a powerful profession in WWE as Razor Ramon, including multiple runs as WWE Intercontinental Champion, and one half of the famous WrestleMania 10 ladder match with Shawn Michaels that many consider put the ladder match on the map. Hall also stays some of the famous pro wrestlers to have never captured a World Championship in either WWE or WCW, despite notable runs there, though he did win World Titles during runs in Memphis and Puerto Rico.
