Eric Bischoff Comments On Scott Hall Never Winning The WCW World Title, John Cena Lands New Magazine Cover (Photo)

The Nitro Files

This week’s ‘Nitro Files’ with Eric Bischoff for Sports Illustrated Extra Mustard features Bischoff talking about Scott Hall never winning the WCW World Championship, despite being a very gifted wrestler. You can read what Bischoff said about why Hall didn’t need a title, and Hall’s level of talent below:

Bischoff comments on why Hall never won the world title:

“Scott Hall is the type of character that didn’t need a belt. That’s not to suggest that other characters, like Bill Goldberg or Hulk Hogan, needed the belt, but Scott didn’t need it. That speaks more to his versatility than it does anything else.”

Bischoff speaks about how gifted Hall really was as a professional wrestler: 

“It’s unquestionable. Scott had all the instincts, physical attributes, the look, the psychology, and an amazing instinct for sensing an audience’s reaction in a match. His timing was impeccable, and I can’t say enough good things about Scott Hall when he was at the top of his game. He was amazing, he was the complete package. He understood his character, he could get a character over in the body of a match or on the microphone, and both were believable. He allowed the audience to forget, for a moment, that what they were watching was scripted entertainment. Scott made wrestling feel so real and so believable because he connected with the audience in a way that was hard to describe. It’s the difference between an Eddie Van Halen and 900 different guitarists that are pretty good.”

You can listen to the latest episode of Bischoff on Wrestling which dropped earlier tonight and features WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts in the embedded audio player below:
