Tear Jerker / Scott Hall

• His April 8th, 2011 appearance, and Kevin Nash's blog post on it. Both are hard to watch, especially if you're a fan.
• The documentary made by ESPN about him.
  • In his own words, Hall explains many of his problems and where they have originated. Made even worse several days later when TMZ reported that every positive moment from 2011 they filmed didn't pan out well.
  • The tape also showed Sean "X-Pac" Waltman looking at the footage, and questioning why the hell the promoter of the April 8th match would send Scott out, and why the man denies any real acknowledgment of the human being. It culminates with a "fuck you" to the asshole in question. It's tearjerking because it's one of the few times Waltman has publicly spoken out about Hall's downward spiral.
    Promoter: I absolutely made a business vs. a moral decision. Scott Hall's not my friend. I met him one day. I'm pretty sure I'll never meet him again.
    Waltman: So you shove the guy out the curtain, so you can, uh, you know, so you don't have to give out refunds? Fuck you.
  • Also from said documentary, when his son came to support him. Scott Hall said that he didn't want people he loved to worry about him, and was more worried that he was going to embarrass his kids.
• Scott tearfully saying that he believes that he should've died long ago:

  Scott: There's gotta be some reason that I'm still here. Because I should've been dead a hundred times...I should've been dead a hundred times.

• While it had a heartwarming ending (and even a few funny moments when Scott drunkenly recalls some funny events from their pasts), the video of Diamond Dallas Page and Jake Roberts calling Scott in a last desperate attempt to save him has several heart-wrenching moments. DDP is motivated to make the call after receiving a text from Sean Waltman saying that Scott was "considering getting a gun" and even Page thinks there's only about a 1% chance he can help Scott, but he still has to try. Scott is clearly still drunk after another vodka breakfast, slurring his speech and sounding like a tape player with its batteries slowly running down, and is on the verge of breaking down completely, convinced he's about to die.

  Scott: I mean it bro, I'm dying, man. I'm dying.

  Jake: I know the feeling, man I was too, bro... I was, I was, I was wanting to go, and that ain't cool, man, because there's too many people that love us, man.

  Scott: I'm dying, and I wanna die...

  • The desperation in Jake's voice when he keeps repeating "you don't need to!" when Hall talks about said Vodka breakfast could only come from someone who knows exactly what Hall is going through right now.
  • Even Dallas wasn't prepared for seeing the state Hall was at the time, he was virtually unrecognizable, bloated, pale, with stringy white hair and in a wheel chair due to his hip problems and weight gain.
  • Even sadder is that he was still prone to relapses as recent as 2017. Thankfully, it wasn't to the point that he was used to, but it was still a big issue for him.
• Tragically, despite his long road to recovery, he passed in 2022 due to complications during surgery. However, fans have at least taken comfort in knowing that he was able to get clean, rebuild his relationships with his friends and family and redefine his image in his last years, from a hopeless addict doomed to an early death from booze to a man who overcame his demons, and be given a much happier and more dignified ending than many once assumed he would have, passing away surrounded by his loved ones and remembered fondly by fans as both a great wrestler and a man who brought himself back from the brink and an inspiration to fans and other addicts that they too could do the same.
