Yeah, and I went to a WWE show last year and there was a kid there that couldn't be more than 8 or 9 wearing an NWO shirt and talking about how awesome the NWO angle was...
Something that he wasn't even around to experience.
Also the wealth of information available to them on the internet. So it's completely possible he would know who he is especially if he is a huge wrestling fan.

Regardless of the kid knowing who the wrestlers are or not, it's irrelevant.
The kid just wants to fulfill his dream right now of having tons of people send him cards, to have another signature -famous or not- would have been cool for him.

What six year old knows who Goldberg or Bret Hart is? Some kids are well into that shit. Why should any of us know who Bruno Sammartino is? When I was a kid my sister got me Ivan Koloffs autograph and I did not give a shit because I liked Steve Austin, ECW, and the nWo. I didn't learn who Ivan Koloffs was until years later when I was much more well versed in wrestling history, same goes for Bruno. I'm not saying that I know for a fact that this kid doesn't know who Hall is, I'm saying the odds are slim. End of the day, what difference does it make? The kid requested birthday cards from all over; obviously nearly all of those would come from people he doesn't know. Hall shouldn't have signed it cuz the kid was a Razor Ramon fan or whatever, he should've signed it cuz it would've taken less than a second to do something nice.

Hall shouldn't have signed it cuz the kid was a Razor Ramon fan or whatever, he should've signed it cuz it would've taken less than a second to do something nice. No doubt, Hall was a total dick to this kid. I think I just read between the lines too much with some stuff, and I really hate it when parents try to make their kids like the stuff they do. I interpreted it as some kids mom or dad trying to get a bunch of wrestlers THEY like to sign a card for their kid. For instance, I also post on a G.I. Joe forum, and people there are always so concerned with how to get kids today to like Joe. From my point of view, who cares, let kids today have their own stuff without having to get rehashes of crap from our youth (though sometimes that is okay when well done, but you know what I mean). I guess at the end of the day, what I'm trying to say in way too many words and posts, is that this kid shouldn't be upset because some has been from before his time was too much of an asshole to make time for him.

I'd never wish death on a man...karma and all that...but even though I'm nWo-4-life...Hall's miserable ass can piss off. How many second chances can one man piss away and still be an arrogant asshat?

I'm kinda hoping his son will knock sense into him. Literally using his dad's own finisher on him.

I'm gonna drown myself in positive vibes by focusing more on how much I adore Goldberg and Zeus after watching that video.

I know it's late, but on the other hand, f*** Scott Hall. What a jagoff.

Kofi has had enough tag title reigns and none of them were very memorable. I'd rather Goldust/Stardust or the Wyatts beat the Usos for the tag titles. Cody's had way more unmemorable tag title reigns than Kofi has.

Cody's had way more unmemorable tag title reigns than Kofi has. I dunno Cody has only had two more tag reigns than Kofi has... and I wouldn't put the Rhodes Brother run with them as unmemorable.. and I could tell you the name of all of Cody's partners without much thought. It took me a hell of a lot longer to remember who the hell Kofi won it with.
