Scott Hall Reveals His Reaction To Finding Out Sting Was Losing His Match At WrestleMania 31, Says He Doesn’t Think Sting Felt Comfortable

Scott Hall recently spoke to Sports Illustated’s Extra Mustard blog about his career, his son’s career, his thoughts on Roman Reigns and more. During the interview the subject of Sting’s match with Triple H at WrestleMania 31 came up. Hall says that he doesn’t think Sting felt comfortable working in WWE and he also talked about his reaction to finding out Sting wasn’t going over Triple H in the match.

“I was there and obviously involved in his match at WrestleMania last year,” said Hall. “We’re rehearsing the match in Cali last year at Levi Stadium, and it’s the Kliq and the New Age Outlaws out there, and we all know each other. And then there’s Sting, who doesn’t know anybody. He’s an outsider. I just think he never felt comfortable there. Being hurt was answered prayer for him–just let it end.

“You need to remember that Vince is never going to go with something he didn’t create. But we didn’t get anything done at the rehearsal the night before, so WrestleMania day, there were tents in the parking lot set up with rings for rehearsal. So we’re all in there again, and I’m next to Hulk on the ring apron and Triple H is going over the match and then he goes, ‘OK, he’ll break the sledgehammer, then I’ll hit him with the sledgehammer, and cover him, 1-2-3.’ I looked at Hulk, and Hulk looked at me, and I was thinking, ‘Sting, what kind of lawyer do you have, bro? You’re coming in the door doing a job? You weren’t even guaranteed to go over?’ That’s Vince just reminding you who won, even if he’s going to make money the other way.”
