Scott Hall has passed away.......... RIP

Say goodbye to the badguy chico! One of the biggest icons in sports entertainment has left us for good… As most know and have known for days Scott Oliver Hall was an American professional wrestler. He was best known for his tenures with the World Wrestling Federation under the ring name Razor Ramon and with World Championship Wrestling under his real name. Hall began his career in 1984, before rising to prominence after signing with the WWF in May 1992, assuming the name Razor Ramon. This is where he truly began to make his mark on the sports entertainment industry.

For a guy who looks like he stepped out of the pages of a comic book he who had an ideal look for say Marvel Comics “The Punisher” or some comic book character chose Pro Wrestling as his career. With the help of the icon Hulk Hogan, and his best friend Kevin Nash they took over the company of WCW as the nWo. The trio formed what would become the biggest thing EVER in the world of pro wrestling. This is when they became “The nWo” and soon the fun times started.

Scott Hall, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer and a founding member of the New World Order, died at the age of 63 on Monday. The pro wrestling icon suffered three heart attacks from hip surgery complications over the weekend and was taken off life support.

WWE announced the news to open “Monday Night Raw” — a show Hall appeared on the first episode of in 1993 as Razor Ramon — and wrestler Kevin Owens started the show with Hall’s signature catchphrase” “Hey yo.”

The company also aired a video remembering Hall’s legendary career in both WWE and WCW. It was the start of a flow of tributes that poured out of every corner of the industry to remember one of the its all-time greats and influential figures. “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.” Tweeted out the WWE reps… Words can’t do him justice because as great as his career was he was very underrated, unappreciated, and under used in a proper way.

Over the years they spoke more about his battles with drugs, and booze and not enough about the man, and what he could do. A Sad part of the bloody world of “pro wrestling” and one he often fell victim too. While one can also say he was an icon, and part of the greatest storyline ever put together. The nWo… With that said REST In PEACE to you sir, and go enjoy eternity with the other greats the sport has lost over the years in heaven.
