The best time for Scott Hall to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Belt was vs Sting at the Uncensored PPV in 1998.lots and lots of people really wanted to see Hall win the main WCW title, but he didn't, Sting retained and Hall lost his chance.
>>19663564Scott Hall never got the world title because he didn't suck dick.
Hall was an alcoholic and unreliable on the top position.
>>19663564>drug addict>deadbeat dadI'm glad he's gone. he fucked up so many lives.
>>19663564At that point in his career he never needed belts cause he was always over and could get his heat back easily after a few promos.
>>19664217so was Sting
>>19664217and Sting ended up dropping the ball after he won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Belt from Hollywood Hogan at Starrcade 1997.it wouldn't have hurt WCW to give Hall a try with the main belt by having Sting drop it to him. Hall always had the Andrew Tate-esque cool factor, while Sting always looked like a geeky nerd.
>>19664217This is a horseshit excuse. A bunch of unreliables have gotten the top title.
>>19664780Scott Steiner was a well-known problem child backstage just like Scott Hall, and yet Steiner somehow got the main belt but Hall can't have the main belt ever.
>>19664819>>19664780In cases of other druggies like Michaels it was at a time when it was pretty much just him and Bret Hart at the top, or other situations like that where you had to take the risk. But WCW in 98 had a loaded roster where they could give it to somebody they know wont go off into a bender at any given time. On top of that Hall never needed the title cause he didn't need it to be over. Hall himself and several others pointed this as a reason for it never happening.
>>19664757>Hall always had the Andrew Tate-esque cool factorgrow a chin ya mark
>>19664757>Andrew Tate>coolLmao
On top of his other problems I think Scott didn't want to be champion. When you have retards like Hogan constantly arguing for the spot, its hard to make the guy who doesn't care for it champion
>>19663564i know at least in WWF, scott actively did not want the belt. he did not want the responsibilities and increased workload of being the top guy because it was only a little extra pay.i don't know if it was different in WCW.still, i would have liked to see either vince or bischoff force it on him at least once, even if it was a short reign.
>>19664482>>19664757The questions ultimately boils down to:>who is he going to beat for it?and>does he even want it?Hall was one of those rare talents that didn't need the world belt to draw. And he had such an eye for talent and a mind for the business that he would have had ten guys as better candidates than himself lined up when the offer came up. That, and its an immense amount of responsibility, especially at such a hot and tentative time period like the Attitude Era was. He saw first hand the pressure of it with HBK when he was champ; when attendance was up and business did well, that was a group effort and achievement and everyone would be patting themselves congratulating each other on a job well done. If attendance was down and the business was going with it, it was all the world champs fault. Hall likely didn't want that kind of pressure, but had no problem being in tags, the upper mid card.
>>19664819steiner won the belt in 2000, only after the title had been vacated five (5) times and jeff jarrett held it four (4) times
