After a mostly uneventful run in WCW in the early 90's, Scott Hall joined WWE in 1992 and pitched the idea for his character to Vince McMahon.

Scott Hall debuted in WWE as Razor Ramon, a shady but stylish bully who was Cuban American. The character was modelled after Tony Montana of the Scarface movies, particularly the more famous Al Pacino version. Vince, who had never previously seen Scarface, loved the character and gave it his personal touch by being involved with his creative development and directing his debut vignettes.

Scott's Razor Ramon nickname, 'The Bad Guy', and catchphrase, "Say hello to The Bad Guy", were also heavily inspired from Tony Montana's famous quotes: "Say hello to my little friend" and "Say goodnight to the bad guy". Vince McMahon loved the character so much that when Scott Hall was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014, he went in under Razor Ramon.
