Hall WAS nWo Hollywood. He turned on Nash and they ended up feuding. This was what lead to Hall's drunk angle. This is meant to be more of a 1996-1997 look. The RSC Exclusive we got in white and black was Hall's look during the nWo Wolfpac run. -- I'm aware of the history. And I appreciate the appropriate appearance clarification. Still, if you're presenting Hall as a Wolfpack release, common sense would be to include an [nWo] Wolfpack tanker (is all I'm saying). Have they presented it as a wolfpac release? Ringside's description mentions the outsiders (as opposed to the wolfpac), the back of the box mentions BATB '96, too. Did I miss something? |

I think it just comes down to a misconception of the red and black color combo being mistakenly always related to the nWo Wolfpac faction. I will say at the time it always drove me nuts that The Outsiders and Syxx wore black and red (Syxx had some gold too) while the entire rest of the nWo wore stricly black and white (Hogan had a little bit of blue but majority was black/white). I hated how they didn't match the common theme. |

I'm just curious to know where you got this idea that it was supposed to represent Wölfpac. |

I actually do recall this being referred to as 'Wolfpac' Scott Hall on some sort of marketing material in the past week. I remember clearly thinking "wtf". *Edit* On the insider video thread it is referred to as Scott Hall NWO Wolfpac this might be what OP had seen? |

...yeah, that's a strange oversight by Mattel - I think they just wanted to use that new Hall head (from the HOF 4-pack). All this could have been avoided though if they'd just said the attire was "circa 1996", rather than specifically Bash At The Beach 1996.I feel like a head swap with the RSC Scott Hall would fit both figures perfectly. Absolutely - problem solved. I was kind of surprised that the RSC Hall didn't have a new/different head in the first place... it had already been released 3 times(!). |

I don't see my mention of the Wolfpac there. But it does say the figure is based off his BATB attire.
