Many pro-wrestling superstars from WWE, AEW, Impact, including The Rock Chris Jericho, pay tribute to Scott Hall
WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall died at the age of 63 on Monday night, just two days after he had suffered three heart attacks and hours after being taken off life support.
Kevin Nash has confirmed the news that he would be taken off life support once his family had been gathered. Since then, many top-wrestling Superstars poured down with prayers and thoughts in the memory of Hall.
Monday Night Raw opened with a graphic memory of Hall and announced that he had passed away. Hall suffered a broken hip in a fall earlier this month, and when he underwent surgery for the injury, a blood clot dislodged, leading to heart attacks.
Starting with the WWE, paid tribute to Hall with a lengthy statement on their website. They gave the statement,
“WWE is saddened to learn that two-time WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall has passed away. A hugely influential Superstar, Hall began his career in 1984, performing with various organizations across the country before joining World Championship Wrestling in 1991 as The Diamond Studd. In 1992, Hall signed with WWE and introduced fans all over the world to the character of Razor Ramon, becoming a four-time Intercontinental Champion and one of the most enduring personas of WWE’s ‘New Generation.’ He participated in memorable rivalries against Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and countless others, with his two Ladder Matches against Michaels at WrestleMania X and SummerSlam 1995, both considered all-time classics by fans and industry insiders alike. In 1996, Hall re-joined World Championship Wrestling and joined Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan as the founding members of the nWo (New World Order), revolutionizing the sports-entertainment industry and ushering in the ‘Monday Night Wars.’ After retiring from the ring, Hall capped off a one-of-a-kind career by being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as Razor Ramon in 2014 and again as a member of the nWo in 2020. WWE extends its condolences to Hall’s family, friends and fans,”
Several WWE Hall of Famers, wresting promotions and others have also paid tribute to the legend.
Triple H tweeted several photos of him and Hall and said he is gutted about the loss.
I’m gutted…Lost a brother I love you Scott!! I’ll see you down the road… #BuddySystem
The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels also posted about him, saying, “I love you, friends.”
The Rock took to Instagram and posted a video of a match with Scott Hall and captioned a heartfelt message,
Pro wrestling just lost a legend in Scott Hall. Scott came from an era of pro wrestling where wrestlers were the biggest and toughest men on the planet. Scott was a big man who was athletically gifted. Tough as hell. And inside that ring, he was an extraordinarily talented and intense athlete. Before my match here with Scott, I made sure to tell him how much his in-ring work influenced me. When I was a rookie in wrestling, I would study Scott’s matches. His style, intensity, crispness and his excellent in ring IQ and psychology 🧠I studied his matches, frame by frame. He was shocked to hear this from me. We came up in different eras.He knew I was a student of the game, but had no idea he was one of the ones I studied. He thought that was so cool and we went out there that night and lit it the fuck up inside that ring 🔥 It was my honor, brother. And “thank you for the house” 🙏🏾 Go rest high.
Several other superstars, including Sean Waltman, who posted a photo of Hall wearing his Syxx t-shirt, former WWE Superstar Curtis Axel, Diamond Dallas Page, Mick Foley, JBL, Road Dogg,
Chris Jericho posted on Facebook about Hall, and a heartfelt message, Ric Flair, Shane McMahon, Tommy Dreamer, William Regal, Trish Stratus posted their tribute. All the posts can be seen below.
He wore that shirt every week & had the rest of the nWo(Hulk,Dusty, Macho Man) always shout me out on live TV while I was out with a broken neck. Just one example of what a good friend he was. #RIPScottHall
