While former president Donald Trump has already stated he will be in Georgia on Thursday to turn himself in for his election interference case, one of his co-defendants turned himself in Tuesday, leading everyone to make the same joke.
Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman who was charged in connection to the case, turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail and was released after posting a $10,000 bond.

The joke relates to the fact that Scott Hall is also the name of a famous professional wrestler from the 1990s. Hall first found success in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as Razor Ramon, where he won the Intercontinental Championship four times and was known for his catchphrase “Say hello to the bad guy.”
Hall then left the WWF for, ironically enough, Georgia-based World Championship Wrestling (WCW) where he formed the New World Order alongside fellow wrestlers Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan.
Hall continued to work sparingly in wrestling throughout the 2000s before passing away in March 2022 at the age of 63.
The fact that the first person to turn themselves in in this case was also named Scott Hall had social media going crazy with the same joke about how Hall, the wrestler, could very easily have his catchphrase applied here to the other Scott Hall.

I'd like to think he walked into the jail and said "You people know who I am. But you don't… know why…. I'm here." https://t.co/OyQAGsoghD
