When Scott Hall signed with the WWE, Vince McMahon initially wanted to give him a gimmick that played off his family's military background. Hall didn't like the idea, however, and suggested something entirely different.

Hall did his best Scarface imitation and Vince loved his performance. His gimmick became a colourful character who spoke with a Cuban accent and referred to himself as "the Bad Guy". It's no wonder Hall would later suggest to Sting that he rip off a movie character as well; after all, it worked out pretty well for him.
