DIARIO AS

One of the most influential professional wrestlers of all time, Scott Hall, died on Monday at the age of 63, and the WWE world is deeply saddened to learn the news.

The two-time WWE Hall of Fame inductee has been suffering severe health issues for the past month after performing surgery on his broken hip.

Kevin Nash, Hall's former tag-team partner and longtime best friend, took to instagram on Sunday sharing that Hall was on life support.

Sean Waltman, a two-time member of the WWE Hall of Fame, and another close friend also posted on Twitter on Monday night, “He’s gone.”

Countless other wrestlers and fans took to social media expressing their sadness and love to the legend they loved to watch.

Who was Razor Ramon?

Hall, known as “The bad guy,” began his career in 1984, before appearing in his first Wrestling World Championship in 1991 as The Diamond Studd. A year later, he signed with WWE, winning four Intercontinental championships and introducing the world to "Razor Ramon", a Miami-Cuban persona based on Scarface that was entertaining to watch, according to many. 

Ramon's two Ladder Matches in 1995, at WrestleMania X and SummerSlam, have been huge fan-favorites regarded as singular classics, in addition to all his historic rivalries against Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels and many others.

In 1996, Hall made his biggest mark in wrestling when he founded the group New World Order (nWo), beside Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan, restructuring the sports-entertainment world.

The two-time world champion was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014, and again in 2020.
