ESPN’s
E:60 documentary on Scott Hall from earlier this year is nominated for
Sports Illustrated’s “Best News Feature on a Sports Program” award in
their 2011 Media Awards.

“The
superhero physique he had during his days in the WWE is long gone. Scott
Hall is now 53 and says he takes 11 heart and seizure medications
daily. He has a pacemaker and says he suffers from post-traumatic
stress disorder. He looks shockingly frail. In October, E:60 aired a
16-minute piece on one of the more interesting figures in pro wrestling
history, given his fame and self-destructive nature. For those of us of a
certain age, it was a devastating portrait, a man wrecked by drug
addiction and alcoholism. There’s no narrator and no reporter fronting
the piece, which adds to the sullen mood. Lead producer Ben Houser and
associate producer John Minton III are to be commended for their work.
Same with the terrific job of video editing by Bluefoot Entertainment’s
Matt McCormick.”
