Scott Hall has passed away at age 63

[Bad News Gertner]

Scott Hall is on life support after suffering several heart attacks last night, per a new report. Wade Keller of PW Torch reports that the WWE Hall of Famer had three heart attacks last night at a hospital in Marietta, Georgia and is now on life support.

Hall had hip replacement surgery last week, but according to the new report he had a serious complication caused by a blood clot getting loose. Hall is a two-time member of the Hall of Famer, both as a solo inductee through his WWE character Razor Ramon and as part of the now.


Edit: Scott has sadly passed away

[slik]

:(:(:(

[Evil Vito]

Fuck. Pull through Scott :(

[xrodmuc316]

Damn :'(

[XL]

Not good.

[GD]

Fuck! Three heart attacks :(

[Bad News Gertner]

Yeah, you barely see anyone kick out of one

And that's why the Hart Foundation were two time World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions.

[Triple A]

God damn... :( :(

[IC Champion]

This fucking sucks.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not good.

[weather vane]

Very sad.

[Maluco]

Just when he had turned his life around too. I really hope he can pull through this and enjoy the life he fought so hard to turn around a little more.

[Sepholio]

Damn :(

[Seanny One Ball]

Scott Hall and Kevin Oats, the greatest of all time.

[fundiddle]

Scott Hall and Kevin Oats, the greatest of all time.
you're talking two hall of famerers, here

[Blonde Moment]

The made beautiful music together

[DaveWadding]

Survey says:

Get well soon, chico.

[DaveWadding]

Scott Hall and Kevin Oats, the greatest of all time.

I can't go for that joke, Sean. No can do.

[Crippla]

Very sad news. I know it doesn't look good but hope there is some way he can pull through this and at the very least I hope he is as comfortable as possible and not painfully suffering.

[GD]

Kevin Nash said that he’ll be taken off life support once his family is ready.

[Evil Vito]

Nooooo :(

[Evil Vito]

As sad as all this is, there's something to be said for the last ten years or so - a decade ago, "Scott Hall on life support" is the kind of headline you wouldn't have been surprised to see every time you went online.

That he was able to get relatively healthy, reconnect with friends in the wrestling business, and have the third act of a Hall of Fame induction and regular appearances as a respected "legend", and to be around to hear all the plaudits and praise that came with that, always felt like a blessing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Damn this sucks. Such a great talent. The wrestling boom of the late 90s probably doesn’t happen without him.


One positive takeaway from this though is when he does pass, he’s already shown us he’s going to make a really great ghost.

They made my dreams come true

[Stu Hart]

he is gone now

[Sepholio]

I motion that TPWW hold a monthlong celebration of The Bad Guy. Scottober will be held just ahead of Nashvember.

The moment that ignited the spark of the biggest boom period in wrestling:

[Impeccable]

Scott Hall and Kevin Oats, the greatest of all time.

I can't go for that. Some things are better left unsaid.

Out of touch.

[Volare]

October is now Halltober.

[IC Champion]

:(

[Seanny One Ball]

I can't go for that. Some things are better left unsaid.

Out of touch.



If I’m Coke and Wadding is Pepsi then you must be fizzy poo juice.

[Evil Vito]

Hall was reportedly taken off of life support 4 hours ago. There's like a 98% chance he'll be gone shortly, barring a miracle kickout.

Say goodbye to the bad guy :(

[Fignuts]

I dunno, there was like a 98% chance I was gonna be gone, and I never even won the European title.

[Danny Electric]

Honestly can’t tell you how gutted I am. Scott Hall as Razor Ramon was my favourite wrestler as a kid, I used to think that he was the coolest guy. Fuck this sucks.

[XL]

October is now Halltober.

Prefer Seph’s “Scottober” tbh.

[#1-norm-fan]

Chicotober, another option.

[Shisen Kopf]

Scotchtober bc I'm sure Hall had a bottle or 50 in his day

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, because that would mean my being drunk on scotch all throughout October would be in memory of Scott and not just because I’m an alcoholic.

[Evil Vito]

WWE have confirmed Hall’s passing :(

[CBright7831]

I remember watching that video in 2012 where DDP and Jake called him, and Scott said that he had a bottle of vodka for breakfast that morning. I'm happy that he was able to stay sober for the last few years and able to even train and tour with his son. Scott was someone that was on verge of a tragedy with a really depressing ending and he was able to get an extended happy epilogue by going into the HOF, making seldom TV appearances, and get on the meet & greet convention circuit. This is still tough though.

[Sepholio]

Guttered. RIP Scott.

[Destor]

its official

[Lock Jaw]

RIP the bad guy

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

RIP Raze-Mang

[Blonde Moment]

I was hoping for one more kickout at 2 and a half

[Seanny One Ball]

We should do a Scott Hall night for the watch-along. Every time a great wrestler dies, a viewing should be held.

[Bad News Gertner]

What a fucking punch he had. Just outstanding. Definitely on my top 5 favourite wrestlers. He was just so fucking cool.

[Sepholio]

“Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don’t last, but BAD GUYS do.”

[Seanny One Ball]

R.I.P. Scott Hall you were the first “cool” wrestler I really remember. Attitude before the Era. It’s easy to forget how big he was both physically and popularity-wise. A hero for those in our thirties and forties.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The guy had such cross-over appeal, just never really got to take advantage of it (for many reasons, a bunch of them valid). There was nobody that watched him who didn't think he was the coolest mofo around.

[Seanny One Ball]

Is Kevin Oats still healthy from ravioli?

I hope so.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol at everyone posting at the same time about how cool he was likely without seeing one another's posts. That says it all.

[Seanny One Ball]

Razor Ramon was good shit pal but I have to admit that Outsider/nWo Scott Hall was just the coolest cunt on planet Earth for about a year and a half.

Then Attitude happened. Attitude was so many stolen ideas that were stolen ideas all rolled into one.

Childhood :heart:

Wrestling :heart:

Scott Hall :heart:

[#1-norm-fan]

Obviously, the show will be dedicated to Scott Hall this Thursday.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

nWo Scott Hall (especially 1996 and 1997) was immense because he got to 100% embrace counterculture. But he also did the work and the market research to find out what actually was "cool." Which TBH isn't that easy. Think about trying to lean into hip hop culture and appeal to teenagers and early twenty-somethings like the nWo did when you're pushing 40.

[Seanny One Ball]

lol at everyone posting at the same time about how cool he was likely without seeing one another's posts. That says it all.


I noticed Gertner’s post above mine and was all “great minds think alike” and then when it refreshed you were there too saying the exact same thing.

Hall had us all.

I always thought the nWo would have not turned out as great with ANYBODY else being the first to show up. Just a star through and through. RIP

Magnum TA Scott Hall looking bodacious

[Destor]

What a fucking punch he had. Just outstanding. Definitely on my top 5 favourite wrestlers. He was just so fucking cool.his punch is absolutely top tier

[Seanny One Ball]

He had a unique punch for sure. I liked using it in Smackdown CAWs

[Jordan]

My favorite memory of Hall is the night he showed up on WCW. That may have been the first real true mind blown mark out of my life for wrestling. I was shook for the whole week. What a time.

Also though to me he is the premier Intercontinental Champion and the most legit contender for best character in WWE history that never won "the big one". You could have easily gotten Razor hot enough in 94-96 for a World Championship run. Especially with Shawn as champ if Razor had stayed.

[Seanny One Ball]

He really should have been in porn based on that picture though. Who is that with him, Spivey?

[Sepholio]

Yup, Eagle Spivey lol

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He really should have been in porn based on that picture though. Who is that with him, Spivey?

Yep they were in a team called American Starship

[Destor]

He had a unique punch for sure. I liked using it in Smackdown CAWshis punch was a magic trick. he could do that punch with you standing with your nose on the other guys chin and youd swear he decked him. it was art.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Rock tried to mimick the Hall punch but it lacked the oomph. Hall always looked like he was knocking the shit out of the recipient and it didn't seem like he slapped the leg.

thinking about it the brass knucks at wm14 might be the only punch i can recall...surely there were others...

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

i dont remember rock doing a punch very often tbh

lol we always used to mimick his punches when we play-wrestled.

https://funnyinterestingcool.com/download/file.php?id=31

Unless that was an insult towards his punches because they were featherlight and I'm just stupid.

[Seanny One Ball]

I actually get what he means there. He’s talking about his open hand slaps though.

[Sepholio]

Dales right. Rock threw similar punches that just didn't look as stiff. You could tell Rock was pulling them clear as day.

Yup we're talking about it

[Destor]

its common for guys to let their fist limp before contact sure but if rock was punching you could see the work from the cheap seats


hall however as good as it gets

[Seanny One Ball]

How do we get his best matches available to view together?

If not his best, at least a good career matinee.

[Seanny One Ball]

I would like to see a match from every iteration of his persona(not drunk please).
That would be lovely stuff.

[Destor]

conceptually matches from different phases of his career would be cool. maybe not his most legendary matches instead have some stuff when he was smashing jobbers on saturday night and whatnot. lesser sung moments that encapsulate gall throughout the eras. he had a lot of different phases.

[Destor]

I would like to see a match from every iteration of his persona(not drunk please).

beat me to it but his drunk stuff too plz

I’ll take care of it.

a mans life is the sum of all his parts after all

[#1-norm-fan]

Scott would want his drunk stuff to be included.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ll be online if we’re doing this on Thursday.

I owe it to my childhood heroes.

I loved his squashes in WWF. Was always a rough night for the jobber.

Yeah, Hall straight slugged dudes (obviously not, but he laid it in and it looked brutal). Loved how Shawn sold his punches.

Rest in Peace

[Sepholio]

Peice of shit.

[weather vane]

RIP to the bad guy

[Stu Hart]

RIP

Was not a fan of Scott Hall as an in-ring performer- to me he was a good upper mid career or solid IC champion.. Behind the scenes he was malcontent as noted by a lot of people in the business. I believe this was due to his depression and his demons.

His contribution to the wrestling business could have been much more than a story of a broken man who’s inner bitterness ultimately consumed him. Many tried to help him, he tried to help himself but Scott Hall just couldn’t overcome the deep psychological damage that led him to substance abuse, and ultimately the ill health that took his life.

[Seanny One Ball]

Scott Hall killed a man in self defence before he became a star.
He’d have made a fine mall cop.

Fuck you Stu.

[ClockShot]

Didn't want to wake up to this news this morning. :'(

R.I.P. Bad Guy.

[Stu Hart]

Let me ask a question:

As he died of a blood clot directly related to surgery is there a legal case for the family here?

[ClockShot]

Eh. I wouldn't really call it malpractice. It's not common, but it does happen.

Supreme is our legal nerd. He can provide better insight.

[weather vane]

Happens a ton. Be wild to go the legal route.

[XL]

Yeah I’d be surprised. It’s a “normal complication” of surgery.

[Sepholio]

So Scott has to be in the conversation for best to never win a world title, right?

[Destor]

only because world titles are handed around like participation trophies

[Destor]

the best never win a world title can only be like 5 deep at this point

[Sepholio]

Hall, Regal and Piper jump to the front for me.

[ron the dial]

mr. perfect, yeah? and jake the snake? rick rude?

[Sepholio]

I know indy titles don't count, but would you count the AWA title as a world title back in the day? If not, then Mr. Perfect would be another good contender.

[DaveWadding]

Ted DiBiase Sr?

[Destor]

zbyszko


but you see my point. its pretty hard to name a great who never held it.

[Destor]

and if we can get loose and say run instead of win andre because.. cmon. his win was a bit.

[Bad News Gertner]

Paul Orndorff will always be my #1

[Bad News Gertner]

Ted DiBiase Sr?

I believe he was supposed to get the NWA title in the early 80s but something happened . I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I think it was something to do with Harley Race

[Jordan]

I know indy titles don't count, but would you count the AWA title as a world title back in the day? If not, then Mr. Perfect would be another good contender.

That's a tough one. If you were a WCW fan then you might consider the AWA legends to be "legit" World Champions. I think they are, they were on ESPN and long before that they were a big act in their territories and a successful business for a long time.

I think for someone who didn't watch AWA at all then it's pretty insignificant. Curt is pegged at the IC level in the eyes of history. While I think he'd have been deserving of a PPV against Hogan, Savage, Hart and Warrior all as a challenger. I think it would have been a fun gimmick that that is the one thing he never can accomplish. The give him that drive as a character to always keep going. Meanwhile he could've been more involved in the IC scene and developed those guys a bit.

Just playing EWR mentally here.

[Jordan]

I always thought that Hall was just a step away from that main event perception. He did get a WWF Championship match against Bret at the Rumble but it didn't close the show and wasn't really ever referenced again as he went for the IC belt as a character pretty much the rest of his run.

He just had "it". Super cool, if he'd have stayed sober and driven then wow what a career he could've had. By the time he'd become WCW Champion he was already changing physically due to his addictions, but it seems as if there could be a chance for a reprieve. I remember it fondly to be honest.

I also remember thinking his TNA debut and being 'the main guy' there actually worked. But it wasn't long before he went to WWF and blew his return there.

I really love his Razor theme and toothpick gimmick, the hair, the look, great punches, clothesline, fallaway slam and the Razors Edge as mentioned earlier easily the best move of his era. Fucking loved Razor man, and Scott Hall was fucking lit in WCW (literally) and I loved that too.

Scott Hall was just TOO SWEEEEEEEET

[Bad News Gertner]

I've seen quite a bit of AWA. The World Title drops in my eyes after Stan Hansen loses it in 86

[xrodmuc316]

I know indy titles don't count, but would you count the AWA title as a world title back in the day? If not, then Mr. Perfect would be another good contender.

Its true, besides WWF and WCW, it was NWA and AWA. For that era, I would count AWA as a World Championship that would take Curt Hennig and Jerry Lawler out of that was never a world champ conversation.

[drave]

Paul Orndorff will always be my #1




Whoa.... for some reason I thought for SURE he had it at one point. No way....

[Bad News Gertner]

He held the NWA National Heavyweight Championship which was the main title in Georgia but never held one of the big three.

Orndorff was over like rover in that Hogan feud in 86

[Gerard]

Let me ask a question:

As he died of a blood clot directly related to surgery is there a legal case for the family here?

Aren't you made to sign a waiver before surgery so if you die during it the hospital and surgeons aren't responsible?

[drave]

Yeah.


Had a family member pass from a clot after a routine surgery in 1999. She got up to go to the restroom, took three steps and that was it.

[Crippla]

I've been watching all kinds of different Scott Hall matches, promos, and interviews on YouTube the last few days and wow. It's great how it just takes me right down memory lane and makes me go back in time. Very entertaining!

[Crippla]

It's also the first time I've watched some of these shoot interviews he did and you can tell he's one of those wrestlers who just had a great personality irl. What I mean by that is if you watch different wrestlers on shoot interviews, you get a sense of who knows how to entertain and give people what they wanna see and I'm sure that reflects to a lot of their mic work while they are in character as well but my point being is I could listen to someone like Scott Hall all day without getting bored as opposed to some who are just kind of bland and dry when they do these shoots.

[Fignuts]

Regal will always be my pick for best to never win a world title.

Gotta be honest, after WCW, I saw hall as more of a tag guy than a sigles competitor.

[Sepholio]

Regal has always been my #1 too tbh. So good.

[#1-norm-fan]

I’m a huge Piper mark so he’s easily my #1.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hall definitely was firmly second fiddle to Nash and Hogan in the latter days of the NWO but once Russo took the hotshotting into overdrive, it is a little crazy to think he never got like… a 3 day run as champion.

[Bad News Gertner]

Piper has such a short window of absolute greatness. He's pretty much done by 87 besides that Bret Hart match. But My God, Piper between 82-86 is soooooooo great. I wish there were more Piper footage from California in the late 70s. I've heard he was incredible there as well.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Regal will always be my pick for best to never win a world title.

Gotta be honest, after WCW, I saw hall as more of a tag guy than a sigles competitor.

Hmm... maybe Razor Ramon is more in that particular convo than Scott Hall.

[Destor]

Regal was never hot enough for a serious world title program let alone run. love his work but i dont see how he even gets into the conversation

[Evil Vito]

Regal’s evil GM run in 2008 was the only time I felt he could’ve been a World champ. Regal himself has refuted that the angle was going to result in him getting a title reign but it was set up pretty much perfectly for it to happen. Unfortunate timing with the Wellness suspension.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yeah Regal as World Champ doesn't do it for me either.

[#1-norm-fan]

Piper has such a short window of absolute greatness. He's pretty much done by 87 besides that Bret Hart match. But My God, Piper between 82-86 is soooooooo great. I wish there were more Piper footage from California in the late 70s. I've heard he was incredible there as well.

Lol in my endless search for late 60’s/early 70’s Big Time Wrestling footage, I found some Piper stuff from the late 70s.

I even loved 90s face Piper though. The guy was just so easy to root for.

[Bad News Gertner]

There isn't a wrestler with such a wide gap in my eyes as there is between Heel Piper and Face Piper.

I HATE face Piper.

[drave]

Favorite Piper was from WM VI (I think?) where he fought Bad News Brown and painted himself half black (actual black). He had those wheezing promos, but he was so intense with them. Distinctly remember this as a kid.

Lol The man was fucking nuts. Loved it.

[XL]

Hall could have been one of the most influential creative minds in the business if he’d kept himself on the straight and narrow. Albeit what he was doing wasn’t done in isolation (his look has heavily influenced by DDP, for example) he had his finger on the pulse and was able to draw from happenings outside of the business. Razor being influenced by Scarface, Crow Sting was apparently Hall’s idea, a lot of the rap influence for the nWo/Wolfpac came from him, etc. He seemed like he had an ability to add a flourish to a match or act.

[Jordan]

I had a false memory in my mind that Hall had a short run around Superbrawl 2000 but no he didn't. Just looking at his Wiki and wow, nobody ever had him as the heavyweight champ. Pretty crazy to me.

Crazy multiverse idea here.... What if there is a world where Nash leave WWF in 96 and takes Kid with him, but also Triple H irate over his treatment due to the Curtain Call (which still happens as a send off to Nash) quits WWF (somehow) and ends up joining Nash and Kid in WCW as the original NWO.

.............

*downloads EWR

[Splaya]

Yeah Regal as World Champ doesn't do it for me either.

As the years have gone on, I have come to appreciate William Regal more and more. But a World Championship never would have been "appropriate" in my eyes. Just was never "the guy", in any of his runs with a company.

[Jordan]

There is definitely a world where after Regal won KOTR he went on a crazy power tear and manipulated himself to become Champion if only for a short time. That night he won KOTR set the internet on fire.

Yeah it was that “moment in time”; it would have been a case of the right guy, in the right place, at the right time. Beyond that exact time - where there were 2 World Championships - there’s not a time for him.

Waltman confirmed that Hall suffered a relapse during the pandemic. :(

Not surprising. A lot of people saw the pandemic as an end of the world type deal which would lead to drinking or addiction. I won't speculate on his thought process but he probably become isolated from people too.

The fact that he was on the ground and couldn't get to a phone for a day or two breaks my heart.

All you had to do was listen to Scott talk and it was obvious he was always going to battle with relapsing. The fact that he managed to get another 10 years and a couple of HoF inductions while getting control of his narrative (lollll) was a positive and affirming in an of itself. Even outside the drug usage, we were dealing with a deeply flawed individual. But that’s the nature of wrestling. It attracts rough customers but we love them anyways.

Those last days must have been a nightmare. Sometimes passing after such trauma is for the best. Poor guy. RIP.

Anyone else remember that the first segment on the debut episode of Monday Night Raw (excluding the little intro thing they did heading into the actual show) was Razor Ramon being interviewed by Vinne Mac?
