Scott Hall, wrestling legend is dead

The death has been announced of Scott Hall, one of the most influential men in the history of professional wrestling.

Hall died on Monday at age 63, according to WWE.

Kevin Nash, Hall’s longtime best friend and former tag-team partner, wrote Sunday on Instagram that Hall was on life support, which he was later removed from Monday, according to close friend Sean Waltman.

“He’s gone,” Waltman wrote Monday night on Twitter.

Hall, nicknamed “The Bad Guy,” made his biggest mark in wrestling as a founding member of the group that would go on to be called the New World Order (nWo). He left the then-WWF in 1996, where he was known as “Razor Ramon,” to sign as a free agent with WCW. It was a major contract that ignited a series of lucrative free-agent signings going back and forth between WWF and WCW, during one of the hottest periods in pro wrestling.
