This is part 16 published on Mar. 7, 2007, which matched up with the published transcript in Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter that week. The interview was conducted on Sept. 8, 2006 and was Hall&#8217;s first extended insider interview ever logging in around seven hours total, amongst our longest, most in-depth &#8220;Torch Talks&#8221; ever. 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, Scott discusses his short stint in TNA, thoughts on Ron &#8220;The Truth&#8221; Killings, his frustration with the NWO run in WWE, what advice he&#8217;d give to young people about drugs and alcohol, his experiences in Japan and Puerto Rico, and more.<\/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: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2025\/02\/20250306Vault.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
