It&#8217;s also one of our best.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the interview, Hall marches through his entire career, discusses various controversies from drugs and drinking to run-ins with fellow wrestlers (including Goldberg) to what he says was the tipping point in the Monday Night War and how he was an integral part of it, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>In this installment, conducted on Sept. 8, 2006, Hall talks more about his Razor Ramon gimmick. He also gives his thoughts on the rise of UFC in the U.S., then details how the famous 1-2-3 Kid angle on Raw was orchestrated behind the scenes, and what it was about Sean Waltman that caught his eye early, before his WWF arrival.<\/p>\n<p>This is another episode in our VIP Podcast Vault series going back to our earliest podcasts. We will continue to present VIP Podcasts from 18 years ago exclusively for PWTorch VIP members on our VIP Podcast Feed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2024\/09\/20240921Vault.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
