Scott Hall Raves About Triple H in Interview

Scott Hall recently talked to Wade Keller from PWtorch.com about his career, the Kliq, and Triple H as a WWE executive. Hall was a guest on the PWTorch Livecast show Friday, May 3rd, and started off answering fan questions. Hall talks about tagging with Curt Henning, picking Jeff Hardy to work with upon his debut, calling spots in the ring, John Cena and The Rock at WrestleMania 29, specific bookings and angles he was a part of in the WWE/WCW, why he left for the WCWin 1996, and more.

In the VIP version of the interview, Hall talks about Triple H joining the Kliq, his character, and his new role as a WWE Executive. Hall had this to say, “I noticed something special about him the first time I saw him. Just the way he carries himself and his personality. And you have to factor in, ‘Here’s a guy from a really stable family.’ Paul’s parents are still together, and I think that impacted the way he grew up because he is a real level-headed guy. Triple H never went through any of that, so as far as the guy I would want to run the company, he would be the guy.”

“He’s a great representative of the company when he goes out in public, he’s dedicated, and he’s a guy who doesn’t drink or do drugs, and never has,” Hall said. “I think he can easily mix in a boardroom with a bunch of lawyers and accountants and he’s not out of his element. He’s an educated, healthy guy, whereas in that kind of environment I would be looking out the window scratching my head (laughs). Would I want to be part of the Creative process? Yeah. But, do I want to sit in a meeting with guys when they’re talking about merchandising, contracts, and licensing? Hell no.”
