#4 'Last Call' Scott Hall

Poor taste
Poor taste

Now, this was just in very poor taste. Since Scott Hall had so much leeway in WCW, I'm still very surprised he allowed it to go on as long as it did.

It was always no secret that Scott Hall had battled drug and alcohol addictions for all of his adult life. Hall was arrested several times throughout the '90s for his drunken behaviour and DUI's, so bad to the point that his then-wife asked WCW for help. Instead of help, it was written into storylines, spearheaded by Eric Bischoff. During matches, Hall would slip out of the ring and drink beers.

And when he wasn't wrestling, he would be seen drinking at bars. Finally, in the most bizarre run-in this reporter has ever seen, Eric Bischoff came down to talk some sense into Hall, to which Hall vomited on Bischoff. Kevin Nash then turned on him and Hall vanished from TV for the remainder of the year. Instead of being high and mighty over this, WWE actually had a very similar storyline around the same time, with Road Warrior Hawk, which was eerily similar.

Bischoff has commented on the angle over the years, showing a lot of regret about doing it.
