Now, I ain’t no expert on all them wrestlin’ moves and fancy talk, but I reckon folks been wonderin’ ’bout that ol’ Scott Hall, and why he came up with that funny walk he did. Y’know, the one folks call the “surfer walk” when he strolled to the ring? Ain’t like no other wrestler’s walk. Some say it’s all part of the show, and I reckon they’re right, but there’s a bit more to it than just lookin’ cool.
See, Scott Hall, he wasn’t always tryin’ to put on a show for the folks like some of them other fellas. Nah, he had a reason for that walk, and it ain’t just about showin’ off. He told folks once, when they asked him why he started doin’ it, that he didn’t want fans touchin’ him. Imagine that! People reachin’ out, grabbin’ ya, as you walk down to do your thing. Must be a mighty distractin’ thing for a wrestler like him, tryin’ to focus on the match ahead. So, he figured, why not create a walk that made it harder for folks to reach him? And that’s how the “surfer walk” came to be. It’s like a little dance, a swagger that makes it harder for them fans to get close to him.
Now, some folks, they say it’s one of the coolest walks in wrestling, and I’d be hard-pressed to disagree. You see, even though it was a practical thing for Scott Hall, it ended up lookin’ pretty darn impressive to the fans. They loved it! And even though he was doin’ it for his own reasons, it became a signature move. Fans started to talk about it like it was part of the magic that made Scott Hall who he was.
But let me tell ya, that wasn’t the only thing that made Scott Hall stand out. This fella had a whole career full of ups and downs, just like any other wrestler. He made his mark with WCW, and then moved on to the WWF. He was one of those guys who folks would talk about even when he wasn’t in the ring anymore. Like a legend, you know? Ain’t every wrestler gets that kinda talk when they’re long gone.
Hall, he had a bit of a rough time in his life, though. After a long career, he had to go through hip surgery, and things didn’t quite go as planned. Seems like he had some complications with it. He had a rough few weeks, endin’ up on life support after sufferin’ from three heart attacks. That’s a tough thing for anyone to go through. But despite all that, folks remembered the good times, the shows, the laughs, and that iconic surfer walk that became part of his legacy.
Now, as for the surfer walk itself, if you ever watched him do it, you could see it wasn’t just a way to keep folks away. It had style, you know? There was a little bit of smoothness to it, like he was walkin’ on air. He didn’t rush, didn’t act all jittery. Nah, he had that calm, collected air about him, just glidin’ through the crowd. It made people watch. They didn’t know exactly what to expect, but they knew it was somethin’ special when Scott Hall did that walk.
And heck, folks still talk about it. Even though Scott Hall ain’t around anymore, that walk lives on. It’s part of what made him different from the rest. He wasn’t just a wrestler, he was a performer, a showman. He knew how to make an entrance. And if there’s one thing about wrestlers, it’s that they gotta make an impression when they step into that ring. Scott Hall sure knew how to do that.
Some say he did it ’cause of his own reasons, some say it was just to get the crowd riled up, but whatever the case, it worked. People still talk about the surfer walk, even if they don’t always know why he did it in the first place. But hey, that’s how legends are born, ain’t it? It ain’t always about the reason behind it, but the way it makes people feel.
So, the next time you hear someone mention that ol’ surfer walk, just remember: it ain’t just some fancy way to get from point A to point B. It was a part of Scott Hall’s legacy, and it’ll be remembered long after the crowds stop clappin’ and the lights go out. Ain’t that somethin’?
