It is now two weeks on from Scott Hall's inebriated appearance at an independent wrestling show and his subsequent hospitalisation. Sadly it doesn't seem like Hall has gotten the help he needs and may be in worse shape than ever. Earlier this week, Scott Hall's ex-wife and mother to his two children Cody and Cassidy, Dana Lee Hall, created a Twitter account to publicly shame his best friends in the wrestling business Kevin Nash, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman and Shawn Michaels into intervening, getting him to retire from wrestling and forcing him into rehab:
@RealKevinNash @TheRealXPac @ShawnMichaels_ - Dont let the next time you are all together be to carry Scott's casket. HELP HIM NOW. Please.
@RealKevinNash @TheRealXPac @ShawnMichaels- He can't have anything to do with wrestling- and LIVE. Kids need to be #1 priority.
@RealKevinNash@TheRealXPac@ShawnMichaels_-PLEASE GET HIM WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE GUYS, HE'S RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
@ShawnMichaels_@RealKevinNash@TheRealXPac-I am sorry guys but I have had it with wrestling/drugs/alcohol and ALL this sick bullshit- ENOUGH!
@ShawnMichaels_@RealKevinNash@TheRealXPac-get him to a safe place away from enablers,make him stop wrestling&put his kids 1st 4 once- Please
Thankfully Kevin Nash answered her cry for help and with Scott's son Cody visited Hall in hospital once they had tracked him down, but unfortunately they weren't able to convince him to go to rehab. Instead he's decided to go home, presumably to continue drinking and taking pills, leading to a further series of anguished tweets from his ex-wife Dana earlier today:
@LastCall4ScottH FYI Scott left the hospital & is home, he wants 2 continue killing himself, he doesn't get, never will, this will end badly
@ReaKevinNash @ThRealXPac "he's toast", he left, he's home w/the nurse get ready 4 the funeral Last Call 4 Scott Hall everyone. I tried.
@RealKevinNash -ok Kevin, is it time 2 put the "boots 2 him" now??
@LastCall4ScottH -Cody called him just 10 minutes ago, he answered, told Cody he "didn't want to stay", kind of says it all, HOPELESS.
LastCall4ScottH- HIS BOTTOM IS DEATH-PERIOD. I AM ABOUT TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN IN KITCHEN ON THE FLOOR 4 2ND TIME THIS WEEK. PRAY 4 US
Scott Hall is in bad shape and each time I talk to him I feel it may be the last. It's gotten to the point where I save his voice mails, much like I would've saved Andrew's (Tess), because I knew sometimes when I heard his message it could be the last.... His ex-wife Dana, will be the first to tell you that she's not perfect. For 15 yrs, I thought she was the enemy. As Scott's condition continued to decline, and people that were willing to help continued to diminish, Dana and I found ourselves as the last 2 on the wall at the Alamo. I've gotten to know her somewhat. She's a loving, caring Mother, and let's NOT forget that Scott is the father to her children. She fears, much like I do, that Scott may not be here much longer. She's been on twitter, and people are saying ‘she's unstable'. She just wants to make sure her children have closure with their Father.
Nash viewing Dana Hall as the enemy for so many years may be related to the last time she tired to publicly intervene to turn Scott's life around. On October 7th 1998 Dana Hall wrote an open letter, which was widely distributed within the wrestling media at the time and can still be read here, criticising WCW for scripting a worked shoot storyline (that Nash was heavily involved in) where Scott played a drunk onscreen, while turning a blind eye to his real life behind the scenes drunken behaviour, like being arrested for keying a limo. A tragic case of deja vu.
