A topic that's still fresh in the minds of many fans is Scott Hall's actions at the Iron Sheik roast. Recently, a video made its rounds of Hall confronting a comedian over a distasteful joke he made about Owen Hart. Taking offense, Hall confronted him and well, it just kept going from there. What began as a justified response from an offended friend turned into a prolonged moment that could have ended a lot worse than it did. Front and center in all this - Jim Powers. Jim stepped in and prevented the situation from escalating. Strangely, he seemed to be the only one doing so. In the 80 minute ClubWWI.com shoot, James asked him about this. Is that role something new? Has Powers always found himself to be the voice of reason in situations like that?
"I've never had to be the voice of reason. I'm sure there were plenty of times when I was not the voice of reason. My wife will attest to that. Scott and I had spent about an hour, an hour and a half together in my room with my wife just conversing and reminiscing and reflecting and all that stuff. The Scott Hall that entered my room is not the Scott Hall that left my room."
Powers goes on to say that he considers Scott a friend and felt an obligation to save him from ruining the event or ruining things for himself. He speaks about the reasons he stepped in to do so and the other people on hand who he felt had the same obligation but chose to sit back and "watch the show."
" I spent an hour and a half, but it seemed like an eternity, in my hotel room with him. And we came off the elevator and I just happened to hear that comment that was made and I said, 'Oh man.' "
Jim then speaks about his feelings for Owen Hart and the history they had. He also spoke about Scott's side and what he fundamentally did wrong in the situation. He then goes on to explain what made things get out of hand.
"What happened was that as Scott was getting off the stage, the people started (chanting) 'Razor. Razor. Razor.' Which is like throwing a dry log on the fire and that's just what kept him going."
The stories don't end there. From the early days of WWF to the dying days of WCW and everything in between. The things Jim has to say will surprise you and the only place to hear all 80 minutes of this shoot is on ClubWWI.com!
