Bret Hart Reaffirms He Refused Scott Hall’s Razor’s Edge Finisher

He cites a head-first landing risk from a backward fall with a much taller opponent.

Overview

  • Bret Hart restated in a new interview that he would not take Scott Hall’s Razor’s Edge and said his stance has not changed.
  • He explained that Hall’s height meant the move would send his head and upper back into the mat first during the backward drop.
  • Hart recalled Hall’s reassurance that he would “set you down,” yet he still declined because he judged the landing unsafe.
  • He framed the decision within his safety-first approach, noting he avoids bumps that could risk his neck or head.
  • The Razor’s Edge was Hall’s signature as Razor Ramon, with Hall a three-time Intercontinental Champion and a WWE Hall of Famer in 2014 and 2020 who died in March 2022.
