Scott Hall, who wrestled for WWE as Razor Ramon, was a two-time inductee into the company's Hall of Fame.
Scott Hall, professional wrestling’s “Bad Guy” who revolutionized the industry as a founding member of the New World Order faction, has died. He was 63.
WWE announced his death Monday night and aired a tribute video on its flagship Raw program. Hall, who also wrestled for WWE as Razor Ramon, was a two-time inductee into the company’s Hall of Fame. His longtime friend and fellow NWO member Kevin Nash wrote on social media that Hall was taken off life support on Monday following complications from hip replacement surgery.
Former WWE and WCW star Sean Waltman tweeted Monday, “He’s gone.”
Hall battled alcohol abuse for years and chronicled his decades of substance issues in an 2011 ESPN documentary in which he said, “I should have been dead 100 times.”
The wrestling world mourned Hall and some WWE stars paid tribute to his mannerisms and catchphrases on Raw.
“Scott Hall was a towering figure among his contemporaries — a legend inside and outside the ring,” WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley tweeted.
