10 Biggest WCW Signings
WCW had some huge signings during their history
3. Scott Hall
Feeling frustrated that his pay and push had plateaued while under Vince McMahon’s employ, Scott Hall decided to defect to WCW in the Spring of 1996.
Hall (as Razor Ramon) had been a huge star in WWE, but he never quite managed to penetrate that glass ceiling and become a constant main eventer or world champion, despite his obvious talents and popularity.
Debuting unannounced on Nitro, Hall was portrayed as an invader coming from the other side to tear WCW apart from within. Kevin Nash soon joined up with him and, together with Hulk Hogan, they changed the business forever with the formation of the New World Order.
The concept wouldn’t have worked without The Outsiders, who both went on to have great runs in the Ted Turner-owned entity.
The Bad Guy didn’t manage to get his hands on the WCW Title either, but he didn’t need it. He was over regardless of whether he held a belt or not, due to the overall strength of his work.
He had his demons, yes, but when he was on his game Scott Hall was as good as anyone and was a shrewd acquisition on WCW’s part.
