Missing my friend Scott Hall - Part 1... Bill Apter reporting

Scott Hall was a real character who lived in the fast lane and loved being the "bad guy." I never saw him that way. He was always upbeat, and I thoroughly enjoyed being around him.

Just in case you missed this...

"Brock Lesnar will break Paul Heyman into a thousand little pieces!"- Jerry 'The King' Lawler

Paul Heyman betrayed Brock Lesnar. You don't do that to a beast like Brock Lesnar. Paul Heyman should have thought about this and realized the severe consequences once Lesnar gets him in his grips.
