Something like that. I’m fuzzy on it too.

OK . . . so it was in a parking lot after an argument in a bar.

Scott Hall - The Traumatic Incident of January 1983

When Scott Hall was 25, he was bartending at a gentleman’s club in Orlando, Florida, called "Thee Original Doll House." On one fateful night on January 15, 1983, Hall got into a heated dispute with a patron over a woman. After the dispute, the patron found Hall’s car in the parking lot, where he proceeded to smash in the glass windows.

Seeing what was taking place, the club’s security guard directed Hall in the direction of the man. "As I closed the distance, I remember what he was wearing, what I was wearing, what it smelled like," Scott Hall shared on ESPN’s E:60 special. "I mean, it’s burnt in my brain. Like, I drilled him, he went down, and his shirt went up, and he was reaching for the [firearm], so I reached for it too. We wrestled around with it. I took it and shot him in the head."

Hall realized that his fate was in jeopardy when seeing the firearm but understood that he had to act in self-defense."You know, a guy pulled a weapon on me, and I took it away and shot him, point-blank. A guy’s dead, and I’m the reason. This is bad." . . . .

. . . . . Following the incident, Scott Hall was arrested, spent three days in jail, and was tried for second-degree murder. The case would be dropped due to lack of evidence, and Hall was allowed to walk. However, he was far from a free and happy man.

Is there a group of people who lived harder than big time professional wrestlers from the 70s-90s? I think they might even one-up rockstars.

They're like rockstars that put their bodies through the equivalent of a car crash every night. It's no wonder there are so many drug, alcohol and health issues. It's a travesty that they were/are independent contractors and the wrestling companies still don't seem to care enough to manage the workload and the crazy bumps.

The number of them who have died at a relatively young age (45-60ish) of drug and/or heart-related issues in the states of Georgia and Florida is mind-boggling.
