Why the hell is everyone so anti-Waltman? The guy was/is a phenomenal wrestler. I never understood hating a guy with such good ringwork.

Hall should just be there to walk around in the background during skits... that would be fantastic.

Because WWE has 5 hours of television a week to put talent on. TNA is just getting 2. What the hell does that mean "WWE Has 5 hours, TNA has 2"? So they'd put Hall on all 3 of the shows? If he did join WWE, he'd only be on one show and get a few minutes for himself. WWE having 5 hours of programming opposed to TNA's 2 is not a valid excuse. Well currently WWE have less than 20 guys on each of their 2 hour shows, and a dozen guys on their one hour show. TNA has nearly 40 guys for their currently one hour, soon to be two hour show. I've always felt the Raw and Smackdown rosters were a bit small for two hour shows. They are usually around the 25 or lower range. I don't think TNA hiring a handful more people for the two hour expansion would be a problem though, I think a roster of like 40-45 is ideal.

I think that's irrelevant, as I'll say he does have good ringwork, but in terms of his professionalism, it leaves a lot to be desired, such as no-showing various TV/PPV dates the last time he was in TNA in 2005, so I think that's why people are soured on him.

I love Hall as much as anyone, but I agree that TNA does not need more stars from wrestling's past -- even someone as great as Hall.
My solution? Sign Hall but instead of having him wrestle, have him do those bumpers that Christy used to do where just befor commercials he would tell the audience to stay tuned for what was coming later that night.
"Hey Yo, don't change the channel mang. Later on tonight, we've got Kurt Angle vs Kurt Angle in the FIRST EVER self vs self Mirror Match! Plus, stay tuned for camcorder footage from James Storm's trip to the Walmart. It's right down there..... down WHERE??? You tell em Big Kev...."

TNA could sign roughly 597 ex-1990s wrestlers that would be worse than a sober Scott Hall. 1. He lives by Orlando, so it costs nothing to fly him in. 2. He says he's saved up his money, so like Nash, you barely have to pay him anything...Nash is practically doing this for fun from what I've heard. 3. He's already said a few months back that he'd be more interested in working in TNA only as an agent, a member of the creative team, or as a mentor for young guys to talk out their problems with. I say bring in Hall. Seems like a pretty bright dude when he's got his head on straight, plus you can bring him on TV in a backstage role like Nash. LMAO - your sig is hilarious

I'd love to see Hall or Waltman in TNA
Waltman is great (when not in WWE)
And Hall is just greatness

Love to see both of them back. I agree Hall more in the role of manager like Nash. Waltman either wrestler or backstage guy. Maybe we'll see a Kings of Wrestling reunion?

Hall might be good in a Nash-type roll where you don't really have to count on him.
Maybe he could manage the MCMG

Russo would insist they call themselves WOLFPACKLIQWORLD ORGANIZATION OF WRESTLING, BROTHER.
WKWOOW,B.
Really, though, if they want to work, they're all really entertaining.
And as long as Waltman goes NOWHERE NEAR a microphone, he'll be fine.
Hall needs his stubble back IMO, his face looks like JR's, minus God's wrath.

It thought the title meant a return of the likes Scott Norton, Vincent, Buff Bagwell, and Horace Hogan.
Color me disappointed.

I keep thinking back to that interview where Nash said he wants to do a gay angle with Hall.
Knowing how the "Dr. Nash" character has been portrayed thus far, I really think he and Hall could be the J.D. and Turk of TNA.

I'm all in. I will never tire of Hall or Nash. Waltman dosn't deserve another shot soley based on his apparent belief that WSX was going to work. Booo this man

Knowing how the "Dr. Nash" character has been portrayed thus far, I really think he and Hall could be the J.D. and Turk of TNA. I would shamelessly mark for such a thing. If Hall only came in as an agent and to appear in skits with Nash (or help manage, like Nash has), I'm all for it. Both mens' in-ring days are behind them now (the 9-star classic Nash vs. Midget notwithstanding), but both can be supremely entertaining in less visible roles, especially if they're just in it for having a good time. But, again, Waltman can still go. But, again...he's still unreliable. Maybe he's gotten over it, but I wouldn't blame TNA if they felt burned by him.
