.ShawnMichaels was kind enough to speak openly and emotionally about his decades-long friendship with Scott Hall, who died Monday at 63
By 1994, working on the world’s grandest stage, Hall and Michaels created history wrestling each other in a ladder match atin Madison Square Garden. That memory made Michaels think of Johnny Gargano, a star from the current generation, during one of Hall’s visits to the WWE Performance Center.
“We weren’t aware, at that time, of what we were creating. We wanted to create something special and tear the house down. But we never had the depth to think it would be historic or stand the test of time.” After Hall and Nash left for WCW, they set the industry aflame with the NWO. Michaels had a couple of different runs atop WWE, both continuing his run as a babyface champ and then later the leader of D-Generation X. And though Michaels was busy making magic of his own with Triple H and Chyna, he took immense joy in watching The Outsiders turn the business upside down, applying so many of the ideas they had discussed during endless car rides across the nation.
“Scott used to say, ‘I don’t need to be No. 1. I just need mine.’ So Scott was always that guy. The one that was consistent, who didn’t need all the glory or all the fame, the one who was always in the mix. Creatively, he wanted to be free.”Shortly before Hall died, Michaels, Nash, Waltman and Levesque each FaceTimed him in his hospital room. This was private and intimate, but aware of how much Hall meant to wrestling and its fans, Michaels was willing to share a piece of that moment.
“That we loved him,” Michaels says. “He was easy to love. There was a pure soul there, and I think everybody knows that now. There was an unbelievably wonderful human being inside that big ol’ body.”
