Scott Hall is currently in Georgia staying at Diamond Dallas Page’s “Accountability Crib” along with Jake Roberts. Hall posted the following video on Wednesday evening, talking about the video that was posted online last week of DDP and Jake Roberts inviting him to live with them. That original video was taken offline and Hall says he was the one that told DDP to remove it. However, as he explains below, he told DDP to put the video back online and gives an update on his journey:
“It came to my attention a day and a half or so ago when I was in Florida that there was an unflattering recording of a phone call of me talking to Dallas and Jake that I have no memory of, and apparently I was very intoxicated at the time. Dallas and I were talking on the phone and he offered to pull it down… and I said, yeah, yeah, pull it down. Having arrived here in Atlanta now and after seeing it, I just want to say that I don’t recommend that kind of behavior, I’m not endorsing it. It’s been my story, I’m Scott Hall and I approve these message.”
Here’s Scott Hall’s statement, followed by the original video:
Scott Hall has arrived in Georgia and will begin living at Diamond Dallas Page’s “Accountability Crib” home in hopes of getting his life together through yoga and healthy living. Check out the following picture of DDP & Jake picking up Scott Hall from the airport:

Following up on the news that Scott Hall will be joining Jake Roberts at Diamond Dallas Page’s “Accountability Crib” in hopes of getting his life back on track, DDP has posted a video to YouTube showing how the whole thing went down.
DDP got a text from Sean Waltman saying that their friend Scott Hall is in trouble and is possibly contemplating suicide. The text read, “Scott sounding not good at all. He’s talking about getting a gun.”
DDP decided that he was going to reach out to Hall via phone call and had Jake Roberts join in on the conversation. They called Hall and he answered the phone sounding very disoriented. “What? What?” DDP and Jake identified themselves and after realizing who they were, Hall said he feels like he’s dying. He said several times, “I’m dying. I’m dying.” and told them he was drinking vodka for ‘breakfast’ and that’s all he had consumed so far that day.
DDP and Jake told Scott to come stay with them. Scott could not believe when Jake told him that he had been clean for 60 days. Scott said he doesn’t want to die accepted the offer to visit the house in Atlanta.
In what looks to be an encouraging sign, Scott Hall said he felt like their phone call was a “spiritual awakening,” as if God was talking to him. Here’s the video:
After turning his own life around by living with Diamond Dallas Page, wrestling legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts has revealed that Scott Hall will be moving into DDP’s Accountability Crib next week: Jake tweeted:

“Will b biggest move 4either of us. Sharing road to health, sobriety and happiness. Ddp yoga will take us there just add hope, prayers love”
Roberts has cleaned up his life by substituting drugs and alcohol with healthy living and DDP’s yoga program. Scott Hall’s personal demons are as well-documented as Jake’s and this could be his chance to finally turn his life around as well.
– Kevin Nash tweeted the following about Dr. James Andrews, the sports surgeon who has worked on countless WWE superstars and Nash himself nearly a dozen times:

During an interview with the Charleston Post & Courier, Dana Hall says that she believes the charges and that the girlfriend’s attorney’s claim of a “peaceful and amicable” relationship is a lie.
“This relationship is not peaceful and amicable, but sick, unhealthy, disturbing, disgusting, unstable, violent and enabling, just to name a few.”
“I completely believe he did this to her, as he has tried to do it to me in the past and to others. It’s deplorable… It is a sick/codependent/abusive relationship of major proportions that needs to be seriously addressed, not schmoozed over so that the sickness can continue.”
Scott Hall denies the charges.

Christie took a 36-minute helicopter ride from Ewing, NJ to East Rutherford for the press conference, which taxpayers around $1,500.

Police observed multiple signs of injury on Howell, including red marks around her neck, so Hall was arrested.
Hall’s lawyer still denies that her client got violent, telling TMZ:
“The police arrested Mr. Hall against the wishes of Ms. Howell, who insisted that the argument did not result in violence. Ms. Howell claims that there was no physical abuse.”

— The term “Scott Hall arrest” was at one point the No. 1 trending term on Yahoo.com Tuesday evening. It was reported Tuesday that the former WWE star was arrested last Friday in Florida on a charge of domestic violence against his girlfriend.
— WWE Hall of Famer Don Muraco has been announced to appear at Pro Wrestling World in the Merchants Square Mall 1901 S. 12th St. Allentown, Pennsylvania on June 1 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Scott Hall was arrested last Friday in Florida following a domestic disturbance with his girlfriend, reports TMZ.com.
According to an arrest report obtained by the website, Hall allegedly choked out his girlfriend in a drunken fit of rage. Hall’s girlfriend Lisa Howell says he had been drinking “for days” when they got into an argument Friday evening.
Howell says she got into her car to drive away from the residence, and in a blind rage, Hall grabbed her by the throat and tried to pull her out of the driver’s seat. When confronted by police, Hall appeared heavily intoxicated with an “unknown white secretion flowing from both sides of his mouth.” He denied getting violent.
Police observed several signs of physical injury on Howell, including red marks around her neck, so Hall was placed under arrest for domestic battery. His arrest required two sets of handcuffs due to his large stature.
Hall could not be immediately booked in jail because he was too intoxicated. He was taken to a nearby hospital to receive medical clearance before he was booked in Seminole County’s John E. Polk Correctional Facility.
Howell has refused to press charges against Hall. TMZ says it’s unclear if the case will move forward in court.
