Scott Hall, former WWE and WCW star, dies at 63

Scott Hall, who rose to fame as “Razor Ramon” in WWE and later was better known under his own name as part of the NWO in World Championship Wrestling, died Monday in Marietta, Ga., after he suffered multiple heart attacks following hip surgery. 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, revolutionizing the sports-entertainment industry and ushering in the “Monday Night Wars.” The WWE family will forever remember Scott Hall as a gifted entertainer and 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, a loving father and a dear friend. pic.twitter.com/DC5VVnUsxd — WWE March 15, 2022 After starting as a pro wrestler in 1984 and competing in various organizations around the world, Hall entered the then World Wrestling Federation in 1992 under the name of Razor Ramon, a character modeled after Tony Montana from “Scarface.” He spoke with a Cuban accent, wore a gold-plated razor blade on a necklace and had pictures of razor blades on his knee pads, heavily implying he was a drug dealer.
