Razor Ramon: Character was inspired by the 1983 movie, Scarface

Scott Hall had been in the wrestling business for eight years already, when he got the call from Stamford, Connecticut in mid-1992. He was offered a character inspired by the 1983 Al Pacino film, Scarface.

In truth, the Razor Ramon character with his garish jewellery and colourful attire more closely resembled Pacino's co-star in Scarface, Manny Ribera.

It was a character that fit in perfectly in early 1990s WWF, where gimmicked performers were rife but when Hall left the company in 1996. He left the colourful attire and gold jewellery behind and played a more serious character, though he did retain his Tony Montana-style voice: Hey yo!

Ramon was sensationally successful, winning the Intercontinental Championship four times during his WWF tenure though he was blocked from winning the World title due to his personal issues.

Hall was inducted into the 2014 class of WWE's Hall of Fame as the Razor Ramon character.
