WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall dies after hip surgery complications; wrestling world pays tribute

Scott Hall, best known as “The Bad Guy” and a founding member of the pro wrestling group New World Order, died Monday at 63 years old. 

WWE announced his death Monday night and aired a tribute during “Raw.”

Hall, who also wrestled under the name Razor Ramon, spent time with the WWF and WCW during his multi-decade career in professional wrestling. He died following complications from hip replacement surgery.

Fellow NWO member Kevin Nash wrote Sunday on social media that Hall was on life support before it was announced he died Monday.

“We were the ’Outsiders’ but we had each other,” Nash wrote on Instagram. “Scott always felt he wasn’t worthy of the afterlife. Well God please have some gold-plated toothpicks for my brother. My life was enriched with his take on life.”

Hall, a native of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice — once as Razor Ramon and once as part of NWO. 

“Scott Hall was a towering figure among his contemporaries — a legend inside and outside the ring,” WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley tweeted.

“A short while ago, a good friend of mine just passed away — Scott Hall,” Hulk Hogan said Monday night. “He took care of me when I was down and out and when everyone thought Hulkamania was dead. Scott Hall resurrected me. He put me back on the map. … I love him so much I can’t even explain it to you.”
