WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall dies aged 63

The wrestling world has been rocked by the news that Scott Hall, aged 63, has tragically passed away.

Scott Hall passed away in Georgia today after being taken off the life support that he was placed on over the weekend, WWE has confirmed.

Hall was put onto life support after suffering three heart attacks due to complications that arose from routine hip surgery he was having.

Earlier in the month, Hall went in for surgery on his hip, but faced complications after the procedure when a blood clot travelled, leading to him suffering three heart attacks.

The news of Hall’s subsequent passing unfortunately isn’t totally unexpected, with Kevin Nash revealing on Monday that Hall was to be taken off life support when his family got what they needed to in order.

The news, nonetheless, is incredibly sad, with the outpour of love that the wrestling legend has received on social media showing how beloved he truly was within the community.

Scott Hall first signed with WWE (then WWF) in 1992 after years on the independent scene, working for Vince McMahon as Razor Ramon.

During his first stint with WWE, Hall’s most iconic match came at WrestleMania X, where he faced Shawn Michaels in an Intercontinental Championship ladder match that is still spoken about by fans to this day.

Hall is recognised as being one of the most influential figures in wrestling in the 1990s, mainly due to his defection from WWE to WCW in 1996.

Hall went on to form the nWo alongside Hulk Hogan and the aforementioned Kevin Nash, helping WCW Nitro to 83 weeks worth of consecutive victories
