Asuka and Scott Hall had a lot of respect for one another, with the late great legend making one particular comment about her that still stands out. The Empress of Tomorrow responded to WWE legend, Sean Waltman, who said he and Scott Hall were big fans of her.
October 20 would've been the 66th birthday of the late legend and WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall. WWE Superstars from past and present outpoured birthday wishes on social media, which show how much he meant to many within the locker room and all the positivity his presence brought despite the demons he fought within.
Sean Waltman posted a photo from years ago with the Women's Grand Slam Champion and Scott Hall, stating that he and Scott were big fans of The Empress and that it was cool to get everyone together for that picture. The 43-year-old star responded by wishing Scott Hall a happy birthday.

Scott Hall once gave Asuka an incredible compliment
One of the most well-remembered comments that Scott Hall made was around the time when Asuka surpassed Goldberg to have the longest unbeaten streak in WWE/WCW history up to that point.
Scott Hall took to X/Twitter to express his feelings, stating that he felt Asuka was much more talented than Goldberg—a sentiment that many fans echoed. Goldberg, while praising the Japanese star for surpassing his streak when it happened, later reversed course and stated that he wasn't too happy with his streak being broken.
Either way, that record now belongs to her, and it has been that way for close to eight years now. It seems unlikely that it will be broken, and it will always be one of the greatest pieces of her legacy—barring all the Championships she has won.
