It was in 1992, that he made his epic return to WWE. His second stint proved quite fruitful as he became a four-time Intercontinental champion. He was known peculiarly for his signature character - Razor Ramon - a cool mafioso bully of sorts, inspired by the character Tony Montana in Scarface.
Razor Ramon went on to face Shawn Michaels in a ladder match for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania X, which he won. This match was awarded the Match of the Year and touted as one of the finest matches in WrestleMania history.
Scott Hall is a two-time world champ with WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship.
In 2014, Scott Hall was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as an individual wrestler and then again in 2020 as part of NWO.
