TRP Owner Issues Statement on Scott Hall Incident

"Top Rope Promotions has been holding family oriented wrestling shows for 30 years now, and on our 30th Anniversary event, we brought in one of the biggest names in pro wrestling, Scott Hall (aka Razor Ramon).

We drew a packed house and a good majority of them were there to see Hall. Hall and his people down in FL had all claimed he was clean and good to go. His flight and hotel were pre paid, and his appearance fee was demanded upon arrival at the airport (which he asked for within 3 min of being picked up).

Hall had arrived in a wheel chair with 3 bottles of prescription pills in his posession. Hall had performed an interview with our local newspaper The Herald News around 6 PM on Thursday night, saying how much he was looking forward to coming to the show, and how he was clean. Less then 24 hrs later, he showed up in the state he was in, demanding his appearance fee. Right off the bat, we were in a bad situation.

Having Hall at the building, already pre paid with his appearance fee, hotel, flight, etc. He even harassed my driver in the process. Hall was persistent to appear on the show. His heart was in the right place, unfortunately I can't say the same about his mind or his body.

Throughout the night he made threats to numerous members of my staff, as well as myself demanding more money, demanding to go to the ring when he wanted to etc. He was also threatening to kill me if I "screwed" him over. I'm 31 years old and I should be in no circumstances, babysitting someone in there 50's.

Hall made at best, an embarrassing performance in the ring and for the fans who came to see him, trashing matches that were on the show before him and addressing the crowd as if we were in England.

Neither Hall, nor anyone who helped line up the date, or any of his close friends or agents have called to apologize or offer a refund for his "less then stellar" appearance. He showed his true colors and who he was this past Friday night. If he's upset that we're airing a stream of this atrocious appearance, maybe he should issue an apology to the fans, the promotion, and the workers of the company. One would only assume that no one that night got what they paid for, myself included."

Scott Hall Furious Over Wrestling Video Promo

Wrestling legend Scott Hall is furious the video of him appearing to have a seizure during a wrestling event this weekend is being used the by the wrestling organization to promote the event on pay-per-view.

As previously reported, Hall was hospitalized after an appearance in Massachusetts on Friday night. Hall is being treated for cardiac issues and possible complications from the 10 different prescriptions he is taking.

Hall's rep, Geena Jinev Anac, tells TMZ she's upset over a video of Hall struggling to get into the ring, followed by a promo to purchase the full event online.

She tells us, "We find the footage to be very distasteful and not suitable for a pay-per-view audience and it's sad that the promoter has decided to air the uncut footage from the pay-per-view." The PPV is supposed to air tonight at 8:00 PM.
