Right off the bat, Jack asked Scott Hall about the Last Call with Scott Hall talk show. Scott says first of all I found out about the Internet and says apparently it goes outside the state of Florida and says he is excited about doing Last Call with Scott Hall. Scott says he knows he can wrestle he knows he’s got mic skills, and his goal is to be an announcer.

Hall says he wants to be calling Monday Night Raws and WrestleMania’s with the headphones on. He said he’s preparing himself now with his own talk show and says he debuted it last week with Sid Vicious as a guest, and says apparently people dig it, and says he has a great guest lined up for this weeks show and is just going to take it from there. He says there are no rules and there are no internet police, so he’s just doing whatever he wants.

Jack asks about Scott’s recent match with Sid Vicious and how it went. Scott says it went fantastic and everyone showed up had a great time. He says he’s not one to toot his own horn, but he said Scott Hall vs. Sid Vicious can main event anywhere in the world and sell. He said the people were new to promoting and could’ve been better but whatever it’s not their fault. He said he got his money and gave them a good show and said it was great. He said he got to wrestle a friend of his. Scott says he thinks everyone left there happy. He said the fans got their money worth, he signed everyone’s autographs, and says it was sports entertainment at its best.

Jack brings up the fact that the last time Sid Vicious was on the show, Scott helped Sid get into his final run in WCW. He said now this is too much, NWO rules the world, they are the hottest thing in the world, except we are too strong and all WCW has is Goldberg "a mark for himself," and all NWO has is Goldberg to work against and its not enough. At this time, Goldberg had heat with Eric Bischoff who’s the boss. They had a meeting with Bischoff and Scott. Kevin Nash and Bischoff were sitting down talking about who to bring in who can match up against the NWO, and WCW couldn’t sell tickets because everyone knew the NWO would squash whoever they were going to face.

Scott said there were only a couple of people in the world who the NWO could match up with. He said one of the guys who is now passed away but Scott has huge respect for is Yokozuna. Scott said he brought up “big Yok’s” name and said he already called up Sid to ask whether it was okay to bring his name up.

Scott said if you want to talk about people who have changed the landscape, bring Sid Vicious in because he’s a star, a major heavyweight, and clean up hitter. Bischoff was like “yeah you’re right." Scott said he was pitching for his buddy to get a job and he came in and got a better contract than he had, and he got more money than him and Nash. Scott said he was like “what the hell” and said it just tickled him and he didn’t hate Sid, but just thought it was kind of funny that he was sitting at home, Scott gets him a job, and Sid was making more than him.

Jack brought up that some of the best color commentators were ex-managers/wrestlers for example Bobby Heenan. Scott said that Heenan was the best. He wants to go on record to say when he came into WCW and Bobby Heenan was there, what really messed Bobby Heenan up was that Bischoff gave the order that the NWO was untouchable. They’re heels but everybody has to hate, and Scott said the thing is Bobby was always a heel commentator. He always put the heels over, so it put him in an awkward position because he didn’t put the babyfaces over when commentating.

It’d be Heenan, Mike Tenay, and Dusty Rhodes doing Nitro and the PPVs, and then you put him in a position where the NWO were all over the place. He’s not with the NWO, and Hall said that people who are really detailed in wrestling will know the shift in Bobby’s character because he was lost. Scott said they were basically the top heels and Heenan couldn’t be with them because he’s a WCW guy, and the NWO were outsiders. It just threw a wrench into his deal.

Leading from a previous conversation, Scott said that there's a reason he doesn’t work for TNA. Scott said that he could be driving 45 minutes from his home to the Universal Studios where TNA is. He said he was on their first couple of broadcasts and helped put them on the map. He said he actually no-showed their PPV which was unprofessional but said if it ain't fun, he isn’t doing it. He said it was supposed to be him, Nash, and Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle "and two other guys. He said by the time he heard the finish he didn’t need the money that bad so he wasn’t doing it.

Scott said no disrespect to Vince Russo, but he has this philosophy stuff for wrestling and its hard to take a finish from someone who hasn’t drawn a dime. Scott said he’s never been in the ring he’s never drawn a dime and he’s telling Scott what his character would say and do. Scott said its like “No, man, I disagree." Scott said when they asked him to come to TNA, he said he told them he was too old.

He said he was trying to get mature and he was not going to spend his life saying, “Yeah but” and arguing with them. He said Russo’s gig is TNA and he’s going to do something else. Scott said he’ll get with his friends and create an outlaw company that’ll blow TNA out of the water. Scott said if you get him, Sid, and some other dudes together, they’ll give the fans a different option. It’s not just going to be WWE and TNA, there is going to be an outlaw option. Scott said he just found out about this thing called the internet where he can reach out to the fans. He said Sid is brow beating him to do it and they’re going to do shows here and there. He said they’re going to offer them to the fans for free, so there will be another option for wrestling fans. Scott also later states "If you think TNA sucks, you’re right."

Other highlights include:

Thanking guys like Oliver Humperdink who were helpful to him in the beginning, and saying guys like Wild Bill Irwin were the opposite.
