Scott Hall as a WCW babyface in 1998-99?

[The Rick Jericho]

When the nWo had their civil war, that was the perfect time for Hall to have a face run. That match against Hogan on the Jul 13, 1998 Nitro showed the crowd could get behind him. Was it a missed opportunity for WCW to try him out as a face?

Hall was good at both roles but I always preferred him as a face. It definitely could have worked.

[Tiger Millionaire]

It could have only worked if Scott Hall had his head on straight.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I don't think they should have ever split Hall and Nash. They should have both been the leaders of the Wolfpac, though anything they would have done with Hall would have been hurt by him being completely out of control at this point. Though maybe they wouldn't have had him pretending to be drunk on TV in this case.

I don't think it was a missed opportunity by WCW so much as a missed opportunity by Hall.

I'm trying to think..... I know he did a lone wolf kinda deal between his Havoc match with Nash and when the fingerpoke happened in January. But outside of whatever that was, did Hall even have any kind of extended face run in WCW?

Hall couldn't be relied upon to be World Champ. Especially in WCW.

I don't think there was ever an extended face run. There's the weird sort of face run in late 1999 where Russo tried to make the Outsiders like DX.
