Pro wrestling lost a legend today as Scott Hall has passed away at the age of 63. Hall began gaining notice in AWA and WCW before finding his footing as Razor Ramon in the WWE, winning the Intercontinental title along the way. He would become part of the notorious clique with Shawn Michaels, Xpac, Triple H and Kevin Nash.
Hall would leave the WWE and be part of the biggest storyline in pro wrestling history when he became a founding member of the NWO alongside Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan.
After WCW closed its doors, Hall would find his way back to the WWE and have a short run there before some of his demons would come to haunt him. Issues with substance abuse led to problems and public embarrassment but that would all turn around when he moved in with DDP and got healthy.
Recently, he would fall and break his hip leading to surgery and his eventual death through complications. It was a terrible thing and it’s hard to believe that he passed away and especially under these circumstances that seem relatively routine.
Scared Stiff says goodbye to Scott Hall and sends condolences to the family and friends of the man that was often called the “bad guy”.
