Dwight "Doc" Gooden was an absolute monster breaking in with the New York Mets in 1984. He won the Rookie of the Year in 84, the Cy Young the following year then capped it off with a World Series title in 1986. But we all know Doc's "story" too well. Fame and fortune destroyed by drugs and alcohol.
The ESPN news show E:60 aired these two stories last night on ESPN. Both show how fragile life can be sometimes and long journey it takes to try to (hopefully) overcome it.

(note: the above video on Doc is a excerpt from the episode. The Scott story is the full video)
<J-Rod's comments> Great documentary by ESPN. Scott Hall was definitely a man who could have made top 10. I was fan of Razor in the WWF and of the NWO incarnation. I still remember his last stint on WCW. Scott was clearly in need of rehab so the WCW used it as a story. Scott Hall (the character) would enter the ring drunk carrying a plastic cup full of booze. Most thought this was just an angle but alot of us knew he was seriously in trouble. I remember Kevin Nash helping Scott to and from the ring on Nitro. After about a week or two Scott was never seen in a WCW ring again. Props to the McMahon family for trying to get him into rehab even after he was no longer with the company.

Before there was a NWO and DX.... there was The Kliq
