[Hoss]

His relationship with Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Diamond Dallas page prior to the both of them reaching out to him/moving into the "Accountability Crib" and what the character quality he enjoys the most about DDP: "I never knew Jake (Roberts) personally until the past few months. I’ve known Dally for years and years. We crossed paths in Florida Championship Wrestling before either of us had any success. We have an honest and open relationship, which is what I really like about Dally."

How Scott Hall, the man, has changed from the airing of the "E:60" piece on ESPN in 2011 to the airing of the "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" piece on HBO several weeks ago and what he has learned about himself and about life during these past two years: "I've been saying the same thing. I really don't know what happened. If it was something that I could identify and give to people I would. I know it is working for me now."

Why he has always resonated with the Rhodes family, his thoughts on Goldust's WWE return, and what Dustin's recent Raw showing says about the power of the "Rhodes Dynasty": "I don't stay in touch with Dustin (Rhodes) as much as I'd like. I've followed him, and I'm happy for him. He is doing great. For him to show up and rock it on RAW cements the fact that everybody in the Rhodes family can go. Dusty started me in the business, so I've always had a strong connection to them."

Whether or not he believes that Cody being in the WWE is a foregone conclusion, based on the WWE's history of recruiting and signing second/third-generation stars: "Who knows. Does Cody want to wrestle in the WWE? Of course he does. But he is intelligent enough to realize that he is a long way from being ready for that. Now his job is to train as a professional wrestler."

Watching Scott Hall, I can think he is really generous guy. He just a person caught in a bad period of wrestling, and fell in with the culture. He killed a person in self-defense, but he still never sought treatment for it, because he never was out to kill anyone but it was a 'Live/Die' mentality when the attack happened.

Still though the pain he endures due to the job, then having to drink and uses substances to dull the pain, now it became a habit for Scott. The key thing for Hall, is for him to stay busy. Maybe join NXT as a trainer or join a wrestling gym in Georgia where he can be a trainer. It's clear that wrestling is in his blood like Jake Roberts, but they really cannot wrestle anymore but they can still feel the rush by training new kids. I think Scott feels that way right now with Cody, because it's something the father and son can do. Like the same as a kid asking, "Dad can you teach me how to fix cars." when the father is a mechanic.

So if Cody is serious in becoming a wrestler, then Scott will have a ton of free time to teach Cody all about the fundamentals all generational wrestlers learn and he won't be bored to get a drink.

I hope Hall gets back in the E. When you listen to him speak you can tell his knowledge of the industry is top notch. He probably has endless stories to tell and can break down a match for the up and comers.

He'd be great for the DVD's.
