He wrestled for several organizations during this time, most notably the WWE, then known as the WWF, and WCW.
WWE History
Hall wrestled in the then WWF as a character named Razor Ramon, a Cuban-American immigrant, who was modeled after Al Pacino's character from the movie Scarface. He gained considerable popularity, and won the Intercontinental Title on four occations. His Ladder match with Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania X for that title is considered a classic. Later, as Hall was leaving for WCW, he and three other wrestlers (Shawn Michaels, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Kevin Nash) broke character and celebrated in the ring together without authorization. The four were known, along with Sean Waltman, as the Clique.
Hall returned to the WWE after Vince McMahon purchased WCW in a redux of the nWo angle. The angle was plagued with writing problems and ultimately a resurgence of Hall's alchoholism resulted in his release.
WCW History
Hall's first appearance on WCW television was an unannounced interview where he appeared in street clothes claiming to be "an outsider". He was then joined in the following weeks by Kevin Nash claiming they were going to commit a hostile take over of WCW. The angle directly paralleled the real-life competition between the WCW and WWE. At the following Pay Per View The Outsiders along with a mystery partner took on Sting, Lex Luger and "The Macho Man" Randy Savage. The mystery partner turned out to be Hulk Hogan and the three formed the nWo or New World Order. The group and stormed WCW enlisting such stars as Syxx (X-Pac), The Giant (Big Show), and many many more. The group took off in popularity and consisted of the majority of WCW television for years to come.
After the nWo angle, Hall enjoyed some stints as a singles wrestler, but drugs and criminal convictions ruined his career. Despite this, his popularity continued to skyrocket. WCW capitalized on this and continued to drop his name on televised events months after he had been taken off television. This habit even got to the point where at a Pay Per View event there was a match between Kevin Nash and Goldberg for Scott Hall's contract.
Current
Hall now moves between companies with his future career looking doubtful. Most recently, Hall once again reunited with Kevin Nash and wrestled at the UPW Benefit for the Orangewood Foundation on February 20, 2004.
