The Bad Man was one of the biggest stars coming out of the New Generation Era. A tall guy oozing with charisma and a gimmick lifted straight out of Scarface, Scott Hall was a money printing machine.

Decked out in gold jewelery and a toothpick in his mouth, Ramon was always ready to carve up the competition. Prior to moving to the WWF, he'd worked for a year in WCW as "The Diamond Studd", being managed by Diamond Dallas Page. He'd nearly joined Paul E Dangerously's Dangerous Alliance before leaving the company.

When he joined the WWF, he'd jokingly pitched some scenes from Scarface as a gimmick. Hall claimed that he'd tossed out lines from the movie to Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson, and was shocked when they were flabbergasted by the ideas, even going so far as to call him a genius.

While Hall was from Maryland, the Razor Ramon character would be billed from Chuluota, Florida as a Cuban-American.

While he's more known for his run in WCW as part of the NWO, he'd left an incredible mark in WWF/WWE history. As Ramon, he'd taken part in what's considered one of the greatest ladder matches, and WrestleMania matches, of all time when he faced Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania X.
