AEW star Kip Sabian took part in a Highspots Superstore virtual signing, where he discussed several topics including how he considered using the nickname “Superbad Guy” to pay tribute to the late great Scott Hall.
Sabian said, “There was a period in time where I was gonna go as the Superbad Guy as a Scott Hall nod, if you didn’t guess by the gear or everything else. Let’s be honest here, we got the drip here, which is a Scott Hall nod, which I’ve been doing for so many years. Then there’s the toothpick here, which is another Scott Hall nod. I only started growing my body hair out because it was a joke between me and my friends that I was gonna be Scott Hall in our little group, so I grew it out and then decided I liked it. He mentored me for quite a while. Before I started doing [the drip], I asked him if he minded and he [gave me permission]. It was great.”
