Hey Cats & Kittens...

On this day in 1993 Razor Ramon defeated Rick Martel for the WWE Intercontinental Title on an episode of RAW is WAR.

Now Razor, aka Scott Hall, really had it all. Size, skill, charisma....

But the only thing he didn't have, and still doesn't have, was the ability to keep his demons in check, because there is no reason as to why he couldn't win a World Title. To my knowledge, he really only had one major WWE Title shot at that was against Bret Hart at the 1993 Royal Rumble.

Regardless... he was the first wrestler to win the IC strap four times, a record that would stand untill Jeff Jarrett won his fifth IC title in 1999.  Speaking of Jarrett, Razor won his 2nd and 3rd IC titles off of Double J with the fourth being off of Dean Douglas.

It's arguable that his bigger success was in WCW, where he won the Television, United States and Tag Team ttiles. But again, Hall's personal demons kept him from the very top. His return to the WWE in 2002, his runs in TNA, were all cut short because of his problems.
