#5 Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall

Scott Hall, alternately known as "Gator" and Razor Ramon

In the early 1980s, Scott Hall was a young buck with loads of potential but no wrestling experience. He was paired with journeyman performer Curt Hennig--the man who would one day become Mr. Perfect -- in a celebrated tag team. Hennig not only did most of the heavy lifting in the ring, he also schooled Hall on not only how to wrestle, but how to behave backstage and with fans.

The two split up, with Hennig headed to WWE and Hall to WCW. Christened Scott "Gator" Hall, his gimmick was of a former alligator wrestler who turned to the professional ring. When that failed to catch on, he was re-christened the Diamond Studd, managed by a man who would become a close friend, Diamond Dallas Page.

But it was in WWE where Hall truly became a star, utilizing the Razor Ramon gimmick. Razor Ramon is perhaps the biggest mid card star produced during the promotion's new generation era, the stars who came after Hulk Hogan's lengthy reign and subsequent defection to WCW. Hall would from there join WCW himself, spurring the NWO gimmick which perhaps gave the most impetus to the Monday Night Wars.

Scott Hall's Bad Boy credentials: Scott Hall has been arrested....a lot. Drunken disorderly conduct, misdemeanor assault, violating restraining orders on ex-wives and girlfriends, you name it Hall's probably been arrested for it.

While substance abuse issues can be blamed for much of his past problems, he also seems to have poor judgment on social media, starting fights with the Dudley Boys and creeping out Paige.
