More backstage stories (Hall and Nash edition)

Hall and Nash.....

after just signing with WCW (about 5 shows in) Scott Hall and Kevin Nash we're given the basics for their Nitro promo on a sheet of paper and told as long as they mentioned what was on the sheet (hype the main event and PPV) and did so as heat-seeking heels they could pretty much ad-lib anything else they wanted.
a couple of hours and a lot of beers later Hall and Nash cut a promo in the ring that was basically just a kayfabe-breaking comedy skit whIch had the crowd popping like mad, as Hall and Nash got through the crtain they realised they had really fucked up and forgot to mention ANY of the points on the paper, they went to their locker room to await either Bischoff or Sullivan to blow up at them, they actually feared for their jobs and expected at least a fine, when management caught up with them all they did was congratulate them on an awesome promo and THANK THEM FOR THEIR TIME!!!!!! Hall and Nash knew from then on WCW management had no clue how to run a company and exploited the fact at every opportunity.

Scott Hall apparently used to verbally bully Benoit at any opportunity but after one match he actually went up to Benoit and said that was one of the best matches he had seen in 5 years, Benoit thanked him and they talked about Scotts upcoming match a little, as soon as Nash appeared Halls demenour changed and he said "Oh yeah Chris, that flying headbutt - awesome move, can't wait to kick out of it" he and Nash then left laughing like school kids.

A few weeks later Hall went upto Benoit and spoke to him for what seemd like to Benoit no reason at all, he was making no sense but seeing as it was a rare time that Hall was being civil Benoit listend, after a few seconds he fealt his foot had gotten warm and looked down......Hall had secretly took his cock out and was pissing on Benoits feet. Beniot said nothing!

On a Nitro in 2000 benoit has a 4 star match with someone and the ratings for the match sky rocketed when checked on the 15 minute neilson scale, the next segment however was a meaningless 18 minute Kevin Nash comedy promo that lost almost 1 million viewers (Nash was booker by now) at the post production meeting the next day WCW management were discussing ways of keeping the viewers that loved the long WCW-Style wrestling but turned off for the sports entertainment sections, Nash, apparently notified via txt message from inside the room, suddenly burst in the room and went on a 5 or 6 minute tirade about "that vanila midget Chris Benoit" and how his "boring matches" were making viewers switch off as soon as it had finished because they couldnt face anymore wrestling, WCW management agreed.
According to a source when Benoit found out he was 'literally' going to kill Kevin Nash but was restrained by friends.

In late 1994 Scott Hall decided to ask Vince for a payrise and scheduled a meeting at WWE headquaters, when Hall go there he realised that for some reason all photos in the corridors of him had been replaced (there were about 7 from the lobby to Vinces office) this was one of Vinces mind games he woud play to put talent in the frame of mind that they are easily replaceable.
everyone one Halls pictures was now ones of the Undertaker.

When Gazza played for Rangers they where on a Pre season tour of Denmark when Gazza climbed a wall and pissed on a team mate who was called Eric Bo Anderson, banter is banter I suppose!
