[1992-06-20-WWF-Superstars] Razor Ramon vignette

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

I've never been able to figure out if Scott Hall's accent is good or not.

Ramon shows off his fancy ride. He's doing a better job with the accent than Nikita's.

[WingedEagle]

Maybe its fond memories, but I love Hall in this role. He just kills it.

I had a Cuban-American friend in middle school who was a huge Razor fan, so I guess that's one point in favor of the accent.

Razor shows off his ride, which is another Tony Montana ripoff.

I've never seen Scarface, so I really can't tell if Razor's a ripoff character or not. Even if it is, it's amazing that someone as light-skinned as Hall could pull off being a Cuban-American so well, even if he is from Florida. You can almost see the arrogance dripping off of him, and you wonder just how good he can be in the ring, since he's obviously a huge man with a big ax to grind.

 

A question: Could the gimmick have worked as well if whoever came up with it for wrestling purposes put a revenge spin on it? Razor as a vengeful Cuban patriot who's made his fortune in America and now wants to stick it to us for allowing his people to be treated the way they have been by Castro over the years had possibilities if the WWF had been willing to acknowledge the world outside its bubble a little more than they were by now.

Hall does carry himself remarkably well for not really having been in the limelight at this level before.  One of the highlights of the WWF for the year so far.

Razor is dripping machismo.  Razor Ramon was fully formed as a character from the beginning.
