Before Scott Hall became the legendary Razor Ramon, he was struggling to find his place in the wrestling world. But thanks to Diamond Dallas Page, his entire look and career trajectory changed forever.
On Six Feet Under with The Undertaker, DDP shared the untold story of how he helped Hall completely reinvent himself.
“Scott said, ‘I’ve had this mustache since I was 15!’ And I said, ‘Another reason to shave it!’” DDP recalled with a laugh.
Hall had returned from a run in Germany, unsure of his next move. DDP saw potential in him but knew he needed a new look. That’s when inspiration struck.
“I was watching MTV and George Michael came on. He had this patent leather outfit, that brush-cut beard, that five o’clock shadow. I thought, ‘That’s a smaller version of Scott Hall!’”

DDP immediately called Hall at 2 a.m. to pitch the idea.
“I said, ‘Dude, walk outside right now. I got an idea. You gotta shave the mustache.’ He goes, ‘What?!’ I said, ‘You have to shave it and grow out a five o’clock shadow. Trust me, this is gonna work.’”
Reluctantly, Hall agreed. But it wasn’t just the facial hair—DDP had a full makeover planned.
“I dyed his hair jet black, gave him a full-length lambskin coat, baggy pants, tank top, sunglasses—told him not to take them off. When we walked into WCW, nobody recognized him.”
The final piece of the puzzle? The infamous toothpick.
“We were at Waffle House, and I grabbed a toothpick. I said, ‘At the end of every promo, we both flick these into the camera.’ Right in the middle of talking, mine falls out of my mouth. I was pissed, but Scott? He nailed it. And that became his thing.”
Hall later took that entire persona to WWE, where it evolved into Razor Ramon. Looking back, DDP takes pride in seeing how one simple idea changed a career.
“Scott didn’t drink back then, but he sure as hell loved to roll a joint and quote Scarface. That was just him naturally. He was already Razor before WWE even knew it.”
Damian Priest was a “Lone Wolf” at WWE Bad Blood, but he persevered like his hero Scott Hall against Finn Balor.
The deck was stacked against Priest as he took it to his nemesis in a singles fight that was third on the card at Bad Blood, as Carlito and JD McDonagh interfered but Damian channeled ‘The Bad Guy’ both visually and physically in the ring to pick up the win.
Priest sauntered out in Atlanta decked out in homage to ‘The Outsider’ as Priest’s jacket had the signature blood drips that Hall wore in his NWO days alongside Kevin Nash. Priest also had blood dripping down his pants as well as his boots, but he also was sure to honor Hall with in-ring arsenal. Priest hit a Razor’s Edge on Balor not just on the canvas, but on the apron in an effort to defeat his former friend.
Priest ultimately fended off the likes of McDonagh, Carlito and Finn’s Coup de Grace to hit a South of Heaven and get the 1-2-3, perhaps ending the two’s feud which would allow Priest to move on to a fresh set of opponents.
In 2024, kayfabe is a fluid entity in professional wrestling, with many wrestlers acting out of character out of the ring and on social media. In 1996 though, kayfabe was strictly maintained, until a quartet of wrestlers decided to ‘kill’ professional wrestling in the eyes of Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart’
The Curtain Call – What Happened?
On May 19, 1996, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall wrestled their final WWF matches before leaving for WCW with Hall beating Triple H while Nash lost to Shawn Michaels. After the latter match, the four friends embraced and posed in the ring, despite Nash and Triple H being heels while Michaels and Hall were faces. The incident was dubbed ‘The Curtain Call’ as it pulled back the curtain to fans, shattering kayfabe for the live crowd in MSG.
Bret Hart – The Kliq Killed Wrestling
Appearing on Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries, Hart makes his views clear on the actions of The Kliq, who he believes changed the perception of wrestling on that night in New York.
“They killed wrestling that day. That was when wrestling wasn’t real anymore. We’d pulled the curtain back and said, ‘This is how it works.’ That was the unveiling of the new direction that wrestling would be. It’s not wrestling anymore. It’s entertainment.”
The Hitman Punches McMahon
Hart’s feelings on The Kliq are similar to those of McMahon, who opted not to punish Michaels, the newly-crowned WWF Champion at the time. In the docuseries, Hart recalls attacking McMahon after the Montreal Screwjob and makes his current feelings on the former WWE Chairman crystal clear.
“[Punching McMahon was] Probably the best thing I ever did and he deserved every bit of that.”
Netflix’s Mr. McMahon has proven to be a captivating watch and offers insight from those who know the controversial billionaire best. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from Bret Hart as the Hitman isn’t holding back with his views on the world of wrestling.
Shawn Michaels’ ladder match with Scott Hall at WrestleMania X is one of the most iconic bouts in the history of wrestling. It was the first ever match of the stipulation to be featured on a WWE PPV, which would later become a staple of WWE programming.
The two stars were tasked with recreating the magic at SummerSlam 1995. Even though both the wrestling stars delivered what was asked of them in a big way, HBK believes the match doesn’t get the credit it deserves because of one reason.
Michaels was originally scheduled for a match against Sycho Sid at the Pittsburgh PPV. A late change was made when the feud failed to garner the interest of the audience. During a talk with Sports Illustrated, Shawn mentioned how it was a challenging task to build a face vs. face match in the limited time:
“This one was very different, the whole story going into it was different and very challenging. I will say this–Scott and I did everything we could to make it epic. I think it was.”
While the match ended up stealing the show, Shawn Michaels believes the bout doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, only because it was a rematch:
“Sequels are always tough, but this is one I think that doesn’t quite get the recognition it deserves, there’s a simple reason for why: it’s number two. Number one is always first. That’s when the moment shifts. There’s only one first time. I’m still proud of it, but it’s not as special because it’s not the first.”
Scott Hall had picked up the win in their WrestleMania encounter but the former DX member got his revenge in their SummerSlam rematch. This would end up being the final time the two legends faced each other in a singles match.
Johnny Knoxville still thinks Sami Zayn is a jackass.
Knoxville got the better of the current Intercontinental Champion on the major stage of WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, TX, but he didn’t receive as great of an opportunity to air out all his grievances during their program together.
WWE shared a photo of Zayn with his Intercontinental Title with Becky Lynch, who was holding her Women’s World Title gold. This prompted Knoxville to unleash several insults Zayn’s way in the comment section, making clear that he’s way bigger fan of Scott Hall with the Intercontinental Title than Zayn.
“Sami’s the Intercontinental Champion. My favorite Intercontinental Champion will always be Razor Ramon. Sami I doubt you know who he is since you’ve never heard of a razor you hairy f@‘k!”
“What a shame, the poor audience had to watch you bomb all night and then get humiliated by me and WeeMan AGAIN! Becky Lynch was terrific though. Why she associates herself with the likes of you I will never know.
“I’d give you the shirt off my back. Just so I don’t have to see all the hair on YOUR BACK!
“Remember when wrestlers used to shave and get tans? Sami certainly doesn’t.
“I didn’t get enough time to get in all my insults so I will get them in here.
“Hey everybody, Sami’s a vegan, just in case you didn’t think he was already annoying enough.
LMFAOOOOOOOO JOHNNY KNOXVILLE IS COOKING SAMI ZAYN ON INSTAGRAM 😭
If you don’t think pro wrestling is everywhere, you best think again as Kendrick Lamar decided to reference Shawn Michaels in his latest diss track against Drake. The talk of the hip-hop world has been the back and forth diss track dropping between famed rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake who have decided to air their grievances through their lyrics.
It was Lamar who happened to pull pro wrestling out of the hostler to take a shot in his latest song by referencing Shawn Michaels’ iconic finishing move. The track titled “Not Like Us” has Lamar metaphorically “tuning up the band” to lay down a Sweet Chin Music. The specific diss starts at 2:23.
“Put the whole label on me, I’mma get ’em dropped.
Sweet Chin Music and I won’t pass the aux.”
Ironically enough, Drake once happened to don the tee shirt of one of HBK’s greatest rivals (and Kayfabe Kliq best friend) Razor Ramon. However unlike “The Bad Guy” Scott Hall, the feeling amongst fans is that Drake isn’t going to win this feud.
For decades pro wrestling and music have gone together like PB&J, but it’s been the hip-hop genre to greatly tip the cap to the “one true sport.” Several top names from the world of rap have made several references to the legends in pro wrestling. Wu-Tang Clan referenced Ken Patera in “Shadowboxin'” and OutKast spoke of “droppin’ bows like Dusty Rhodes” in their song “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.” One of rap’s greatest proponents is Westside Gunn, who has a bundle of lyrics, song titles and albums in honor of some of wrestling’s biggest stars.
Larry Zbyszko was good friends with Scott Hall and knew that “The Bad Guy” was in a very unique class.
Larry was a special substitute co-host on “The Snake Pit” and was covering his 1997 WCW Starrcade match against Eric Bischoff, but touched upon a lot of other topics in his career, including his feud with Scott Hall. Zbyskzo became a big babyface in the the battle, becoming one of the top “soldiers” in the WCW army against the NWO.
While forever a historical figure in the world of pro wrestling Scott Hall never happened to win a World Title for a major wrestling promotion. He was slated to become the AWA World Champion, but happened to see the writing on the wall for the company and decided to leap to WCW. Zbyszko was asked by host Marcus DeAngelo why The Lone Wolf never held “big gold.”
“If you’re over like Scott was, it doesn’t matter if you’re the world champion or not, in terms of drawing money and being of value,” Zbysko said. “Scott did a great job. God, it was such a sad thing. He had some problems, but he had the ability to come walking out with the toothpick and made [being a bad guy] cool.”
Zbyszko goes on to say that it broke his heart that Scott Hall was going through substance abuse issues, noting how Hall made a night of wrestling easy for him.
March 14 marked two years since Hall passed away, but his impact on the business will always carry on. Just recently at Elimination Chamber, Becky Lynch paid homage by wearing “blood drip”-themed ring gear.

The pro wrestling world lost a legend when Scott Hall tragically passed away two years ago on March 14, 2022. Hall remains a beloved figure to this day for countless reasons, including his iconic Razor Ramon persona and the groundbreaking New World Order storyline that changed wrestling forever.
The pro wrestling world is remembering The Bad Guy on the anniversary of his passing. Hall’s name trended on social media as his friends and fans across the world shared memories of the two-time WWE Hall of Famer’s remarkable career.
Sean Waltman shared this of Hall wearing one of his t-shirts at the height of the nWo’s popularity.
Diamond Dallas Page shared a video of his longtime friend, along with a touching message. The master of the Diamond Cutter doesn’t want anyone to forget about the incredible man we lost too soon.
Today is the anniversary of the late great Scott Hall's passing, and I have so many unbelievable memories to share. Keep checking back here and my fb as we celebrate all the Good Times from the Badd Guy💥💎 pic.twitter.com/nEdTuTBIOH

Memories of Scott Hall continue to surface, even years after his passing. His daughter recently shared an unseen piece of pro wrestling video history, one that showed Triple H and The Outsiders mingling at home during the Monday Night Wars era.
Scott Hall is remembered for so many reasons, and all of them are entertaining. He gave his body for the enjoyment of fans for decades, and he made a ton of memories along the way. On March 14th, fans wanted to make sure that nobody forgot about him.
Scott Hall’s health deteriorated drastically in March 2022 after he suffered a fall and broke his hip, necessitating hospitalization. He remained immobile on the floor for several days until his friend Diamond Dallas Page found him during a wellness check. Hall underwent hip replacement surgery, but complications arose when a blood clot dislodged, leading to three heart attacks on March 12, 2022. He was placed on life support at WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia.
With his family gathered at the hospital on March 14, 2022, the difficult decision was made to remove the WWE Hall of Famer from life support. He passed away approximately 4 to 6 hours later at the age of 63. WWE announced his death and paid tribute to him with a video during that day’s episode of RAW. While he will be deeply missed, his legacy will endure indefinitely.
SEScoops would like to preserve the legacy of Scott Hall however we can. His life had a huge spotlight on him, and he was taken from us far took soon. RIP Razor, and thanks for everything.
Remembering Scott Hall
Here are some WWE videos and playlists looking back on the life of Scott Hall:
Sting will wrap up his legendary career at AEW Revolution, and many fans are watching to see how he ends everything in the ring. He will also likely wear his black and white face paint for the last time in a pro wrestling ring, which will be an epic moment. The gimmick itself is also a huge point of discussion.
While speaking to Bleacher Report, Sting claimed that he didn’t directly take his gimmick from The Crow. He said that it wasn’t until later, when people started calling him Crow Sting, that he actually picked up on the similarity.
Sting’s Recollection of Inspiration
The Icon looked back at that time of his career, when the Crow gimmick was created, “I do remember those movies, and I was dubbed that name, Crow Sting, and I took from many many different people that influenced me,” Sting said. “From the band Kiss to even Rocky Horror Picture Show. That was like a cult movie in California. You know, Batman. So many people influenced me over the years.”
Sting had many inspirations, and it wasn’t just The Crow, because KISS and Batman were already around.
“I suppose possibly The Crow character may have had some influence but it was nothing that I ever really thought about until everybody said ‘He’s Crow Sting.’ and I went ‘Oh, okay. Yeah, I see that.’ I saw the movie I think. I don’t think I’ve seen the whole movie from beginning to end. I’ve just seen bits and pieces of it over the years, but I remember when it first came out.”When I was developing this Crow character, I wasn’t thinking about the movie at all. I was thinking about Kiss, I was thinking about Rocky Horror, I was thinking about Batman. And there’s others that influenced me over the years.””But it’s just weird, that Crow thing, of all things Crow, why wouldn’t that be something on the forefront? I don’t know”
Conflicting Story To Sting’s Inspiration
In a resurfaced interview with Scott Hall, he told the story of suggesting that Sting wear white face paint and adopt a darker character. Hall then claimed that he asked Sting if he had seen The Crow.
Eric Bischoff chimed in during this clip, and he said how Sting couldn’t get enough of this Crow character. He was all in for the change, and although it was a massive alteration, it certainly made pro wrestling history.

Sting’s Final Match
Sting will wrap up his legendary career during AEW Revolution. He will team with Darby Allin to take on The Young Bucks with the AEW World Tag Team Titles on the line. His match may not main event the show, but it is still a huge attraction for the pay-per-view event.
The direct inspiration of Sting’s gimmick may be a matter of debate at this time, but there is no arguing that Sting’s contributions to the pro wrestling world help change history and inspire generations after him.
Pro wrestling history includes many stories that fans will never know about. Some of those moments were also captured on video, and now Scott Hall’s daughter is sharing one amazing moment that she’s had around all these years.
Unseen Video Of Scott Hall, Triple H, and Kevin Nash
Cassidy, the daughter of Scott Hall, posted TikTok videos showing Scott and the family alongside Triple H and Kevin Nash in 1997. This video was locked away in family video footage, but we are very glad she shared it with us.
At that time, Hall & Nash were part of WCW, while Triple H was still with WWE. This was after Triple H befriended Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman, who were part of the Kliq, during their time in WWE prior to Hall & Nash’s departure the previous year. Needless to say, this was a very special time in pro wrestling, and this video captures a rare moment.
Along with a TikTok post with this unseen footage, Cassidy also included a shot caption to sum up her video drop.
little throwback to ‘97 with dad, kevin, and paul #scotthall
The KLIQ spanned two companies at that moment of pro wrestling history, as The Outsiders were doing their thing in WCW and Triple H was making a name for himself in WWE. Pro wrestling battle lines didn’t matter as they enjoyed that moment at home.
The Tragic Events Of Scott Hall’s Passing
Scott Hall’s health took a terrible turn in March 2022 when he fell and broke his hip, leading to hospitalization. For several days, he remained incapacitated on the floor until his friend Diamond Dallas Page discovered him during a wellness check. Following this event, Hall underwent hip replacement surgery, but complications arose when a blood clot became dislodged, resulting in three heart attacks on March 12, 2022. He was placed on life support at WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia.
On March 14, 2022, with his family by his side at the hospital, the decision was made to remove the WWE Hall of Famer from life support. He passed away approximately 4 to 6 hours later at the age of 63. Later that day, during the WWE RAW episode, the company announced his death and paid tribute to him with a video. He will be forever missed, but his legend will also never fade.
Hall passed away back in March after being hospitalized for falling and breaking his hip. His hospitalization resulted in several complications that eventually lead to him being put on life support.
The Hall Of Famer reportedly suffered three heart attacks and was eventually taken off life support. He was 63-years-old at the time of his passing.
Taking to the debut episode of his podcast, “Kliq This,” Kevin Nash detailed the events that transpired before Hall’s unfortunate passing. Here’s what he had to say.
“People probably don’t know the breakdown as far as what happened as far as Scott passing and the timeline. Scott was in lockdown. It was in a little duplex. It was in Smyrna, Ga. Scott was getting Grubhub and had some Chinese take out place that would bring him back Vodka.
“He was making some Kool-Aid. He put the plastic pitcher up to the refrigerator. The ice went in it, but a couple of the pieces of ice as always bounced out and landed on the floor. He went over and stirred it. I’m sure it was Crystal Light because he always ate pretty clean. He was going back to get something and one of those pieces of ice caught his heel. He did the fucking whoopsie daisy and fu**ing landed and broke his other hip.
“He’s in the middle of his kitchen and he’s in so much pain and he can’t move. He tried to move several different times. He can’t move and finally, he passes out. He wakes up and now it’s nighttime and he has no idea. He can see where his phone is by his recliner. He’s in between that and the Kool-Aid. He ends up passing back out, wakes up, and at this point is just like, ‘I’m so dehydrated.’
“He’s got a defibrillator and a pacemaker in his heart. He’s like, ‘I’m going to croak if I don’t get some fluids.’ So he just turned and gutted it back to the cabinet and reached up the two hands and just drank it through the spout sip by sip. Slowly, he got enough to him that he was able to drag himself and he called 911.”
“They came and got him and took him to the hospital. So he went to Kennestone hospital which is like a two out of five star hospital. Scott didn’t have insurance. He needed to get the hip fixed. He had some other problems and some other issues.
“They did some CAT scans. When it would be time to get Scott out of the hospital, he was going to stay with Dallas (Page) and recover there. I got a call on Sunday saying Scott had three heart attacks and it didn’t look good. I tried to get a flight to Atlanta but couldn’t, so I went back to Daytona Beach and then couldn’t get a flight out of Daytona Beach.
“At that point, they said they were going to pull the plug and the doctor said that it would be maybe 10 minutes that Scott would be alive. So before they pulled the plug, all the Kliq guys got on speakerphone and we all talked to him. We all cried was basically all we did. Seven hours later, Scott was still alive (but then died).”
Legendary professional wrestler Scott Hall was buried in a private ceremony with friends and family on Friday.
The news of Hall’s burial comes after a post by his son, Cody, on Instagram on Saturday. In attendance for the ceremony were fellow wrestlers Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Diamond Dallas Page.
Cody Hall wrote the following regarding his father:
“We buried my father yesterday. And I guess it was the last step in the process, but it still feels like I’m going through a ton.
“Being my dads son wasn’t always easy, in fact it used to feel really hard sometimes, he was hard sometimes. But it feels different now, not my burden to bear but my torch to carry going forward.
“A legacy from a legend. It feels like he’s with me now. The whole world feels different now. I feel so different now. Death is part of the circle of life, and my father lives through me.
“And so many memories live in my head and my heart forever now, all the sayings he had, all the facial expressions, going fishing together, him blasting Shaggy -“ it wasn’t me “ every morning to wake us up for school, thinking George foreman turkey burgers are a delicacy, singing country songs on our drives, the spot on the side of the garage we’d both pee in to see how deep we could go, wearing our matching #HallGood shirts and color coordinating outfits, seeing him when he was ON how he could light up and flip a switch and be the best person you could ever meet.
“He was my best friend, he taught me everything I know. And I’ll never ever forget it. I love you dad.”

Hall passed away last month following complications from hip surgery. Hall had fallen at home and required the surgery. He subsequently suffered three heart attacks and was forced to be put on life support.
Hall was taken off life support once his family could be at his side to say goodbye. He died on Monday, March 14th.
Hall’s jump to WCW in 1996 kicked the Monday Night Wars into high gear. He famously appeared on the Memorial Day edition of WCW Nitro out of the crowd, shocking those in attendance and watching at home. Not long after that arrival, Kevin Nash showed up during the June WCW Great American Bash PPV event. Then, at WCW’s Bash at the Beach PPV in July, Hulk Hogan joined the duo to form the nWo.
DDP has given an update on how Kevin Nash is holding up amid the passing of his long-time friend Scott Hall.
On March 14, Hall died due to complications from a hip procedure. The former WWE and WCW standout suffered multiple hearts attacks after a blood clot got loose. His family ended up taking him off life support.
DDP Talks Kevin Nash Following Scott Hall’s Passing
On a new episode of the DDP Snake Pit podcast, Diamond Dallas Page said that Kevin Nash is unsurprisingly distraught over the death Scott Hall (h/t Wrestling Inc).
“We took it hard. Really hard. But Kev, he took it really hard. Like I took it hard, he took it really hard and you know, it was tough. That last week or so was really tough.”
DDP then said he thinks Nash will be helping Scott’s son, Cody going forward.
“I think there is definitely something there for sure. And Kev, you know, he’s gonna really reach out, and you know, because Kev works every damn weekend because he loves it. He works with whatever damn promoter there is. He knows them all and Cody and I were talking about it.
“I had his sister and Scott’s brother Jeff over for dinner when they were in town here and Cody, I think there is a future for him out there. I think timing is everything and he’s done his time. He’s been to Japan. He’s been to the UK. He just needs a break.
“I think working independents right now, you know, the independent world out there, they draw. And I think Cody Hall, as a name, is a draw to see what he can do, you know? So I think the time, and we talked about this.
“And Kevin is like, like I said, it’s still really, really hard on him so anything he can do to help out Cody, I think he’ll do. It’s just the friend Kevin Nash is.”
Hall was inducted into the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame as his Razor Ramon character. He was inducted a second time in 2020 for his run in WCW, specifically with the nWo.
Scott Hall was 63 years old at the time of his passing.
The Undertaker has taken some time to reflect on Scott Hall.
Hall passed away on March 14 due to complications from a hip procedure. A blood clot got loose and Hall suffered multiple heart attacks. He was 63 years old.
The Undertaker Looks Back On Scott Hall
Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri, The Undertaker heaped praise on Scott Hall for his in-ring abilities.
“Man, one of the great in-ring workers,” Undertaker said. “He was really gifted, him and Shawn’s ladder match at Madison Square Garden was one of those legendary iconic matches. It’s just another sad example, we lose and have lost way too many guys, at way too young of age. Some of our choices that we make early on we don’t see the ramifications later on in our lives. You can’t foreshadow that. But it’s just sad to lose a guy that you’ve been in the trenches with, that you come up with.”
Taker then recalled the time he and Scott were touring Japan.
“I was on my first tour of Japan with Scott, Scott kind of took me under his wing,” he said. “Showed me the ropes in 1988 or 89 whenever it was. You know, where to go to eat, it was a really sad day. And I know it was sad for Nash, and Shawn, and Triple H, and X-Pac, all those guys. They were all so tight, and I know what it’s like to lose guys like that who you’re really close with. I feel bad for them, I feel bad for Scott’s family, it’s just another sad loss that our business has suffered.”
“The Deadman” is set to be inducted into the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame on April 1. It’s a distinction that Hall earned back in 2014.
Hall found great success in WWE as Razor Ramon. In 1996, he jumped ship to WCW and helped form the nWo, one of the most iconic factions in wrestling history.
It appears WWE had plans for the nWo during this year’s WrestleMania festivities.
WWE planned for a promotional spot involving nWo members to promote WWE 2K22 (per Fightful). Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman grace the cover of the nWo 4-Life Edition of the video game.
These plans were in place before the passing of Scott Hall. Hall died on March 14 due to complications from hip replacement surgery. He was 63 years old.
At this time, there’s no word on whether or not WWE will go through with plans for the New World Order following Hall’s death.
The Hardys, Matt and Jeff, shared memories of working with Hall on the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast.
Matt Hardy began by saying it’s extremely sad how Scott Hall’s death seemingly came out of left field. It is difficult to make sense of things when somebody passes away unexpectedly, but Matt feels that it’s important to make the most of each day. The Hardys have always “lived for the moment” but Hall’s passing is a reminder that you never really know how much time you have left in life.
Matt told host Jon Alba that Scott Hall was good to the Hardys when they worked together in the early days of their WWE careers.
“Scott was very cool to us,” he said. “We had a lot of good fun stories with him. I’ll never forget the second day I was with WWE, obviously the first day Jeff wrestled him, he was 16 years old and it was under very strange circumstances where the match was very frustrating with Scott Hall because the guy he was supposed to wrestle said he couldn’t take his finish. He was a little frustrated wrestling with Jeff and that ended up working in Jeff’s favor because he formed a little bond with him after that.”
Matt continued, “The next night, I was wrestling with him and I remember he said, ‘When I’m in the corner, poke me in the eyes, give me three or four chops, I’ll turn around and give you some,’ and I got two really good ones in that rang out loud in the arena. I hit a second one and he stopped me right then and there and turned me around and said, ‘Easy kid, you had two really good ones, I couldn’t let you outshine me out there though.’”
Jeff Hardy Remembers Scott Hall
Jeff Hardy says Razor Ramon was a huge inspiration on their careers. However, that match against Hall had him reconsidering his love for pro wrestling.
Not only were the WWE rings “terrible” back then (very stiff to take bumps on), but Scott Hall also roughed him up a bit.
“Even that first match, and that hard-ass WWE ring back in the day, you had to be like Andre the Giant to make it move, it was terrible,” said Jeff. “Him being real stiff and roughing me up, I totally second-guessed my love for pro wrestling. ‘I don’t know if I’m cut out to do this.’ I didn’t like it, I didn’t like that match at all, it really hurt. It wasn’t fun.”
That first match against Razor was tough, but he remembers Scott Hall took him under his wing and looked out for him behind the scenes.
“Then moving forward Scott Hall was so kind because he thought I looked like Vanilla Ice, and the Kliq started calling me Ice and I’ll never forget one time he told Pat Patterson, I was like 16 or 17 too, ‘Let’s get this kid on the road, get him seasoned.’ I’m not even legal yet. There’s something very special to what he saw, he saw my future through whatever it was and he believed in us every step of the way, and that’s rare, man.”
Shawn Michaels has taken the time to reflect on his friendship with the late Scott Hall.
Hall, also known as Razor Ramon in his WWF days, developed a bond with the likes of “HBK,” Kevin Nash, Triple H, and Sean Waltman. Together, they became known as “The Kliq.”
Scott Hall passed away on March 14, 2022. Hall suffered from complications after undergoing hip replacement surgery. It’s been reported that a blood clot got loose and Hall suffered three heart attacks. He had been on life support but Hall’s family made the decision to take him off.
Shawn Michaels & Scott Hall: Friends 4 Life
Shawn Michaels spoke to Sports Illustrated and detailed his close relationship with “The Bad Guy.”
“We had this incredible bond,” Michaels says. “We’d bare our souls to each other. And we didn’t care what anyone else thought. The five of us, we knew we had each other.
“I was 19-just-turning-20 when I met Scott,” Michaels says. “And the first time we met was when we were in the ring together.”
Michaels went on to say that Hall couldn’t get enough of the way he sold for him.
“Scott got such a kick out of me selling for him. He’d been working with Bulldog Bob Brown and Rufus R. Jones, and I mean no disrespect to those men, but Scott hadn’t worked with many smaller, underneath, selling babyfaces. He just thought that was the neatest thing in the world. That’s when we realized, holy cow, this stuff can be really easy if I just get beat up, and then I finally beat him up when I get the chance later on.”
“HBK” and Hall had great chemistry inside the ring. Their ladder match at WrestleMania X back in 1994 is one that few can forget. Of course, it made Ryan Droste’s list of “7 Must-See Matches From Scott Hall’s Career.”
Kevin Nash has expressed gratitude to Bret Hart for his tribute to Scott Hall.
Hall passed away on March 14, 2022 due to complications from hip replacement surgery. He was 63 years old. Hall will be remembered for his Razor Ramon character in WWE as well as helping start the New World Order in WCW.
The wrestling world has reacted to the news of Hall’s passing with warm messages. Bret “The Hitman” Hart had one of those messages on Instagram, expressing his sadness over the situation. He also said he wishes the road life wasn’t as rigorous because he feels it might’ve saved the lives of many of his peers.
“…We’ve lost so many wrestlers from my era, and this is just one more to a list that’s far too long. I won’t blame anyone thing, but I do believe that if the days of wrestling 300 days a year had been kinder and more considerate if we could’ve been home with our loved ones more, many of my old friends and brothers would still be here,” said Hart.
Kevin Nash Responds To Bret Hart
Kevin Nash responded to Bret Hart in the comment section of his post. “Big Daddy Cool” agrees with Bret’s opinion on the rough road life.

“We just had this conversation. I agree 100% the meat grinder hasn’t been kind to the crews that ran 300 plus days. The mental and physical pain of those years scar hard and deep but the men that I shared my life with were such a special breed and many life-long friends. Thank you for the kind words about Scott. I love you Bret honored to call you my friend.”
Nash and Hall were good friends and even formed “The Kliq.” Few can deny that the two changed the game in 1996 when they left WWE in favor of WCW.
The wrestling world lost a legend on Monday with the passing of Scott Hall.
One of the most influential performers of his generation, Hall was the epitome of “cool” in the 1990s. Whether it was during his time as Razor Ramon in the World Wrestling Federation, or using his real name as a member of the nWo in WCW, Hall left a mark on the industry that won’t soon be forgotten.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a kid in the 1990s that didn’t imitate the man at some point during their adolescence — the toothpick throw, the signature walk or yelling out a “Hey yo!” Scott Hall became ingrained in popular culture.
For those wanting to relive some of the great moments of his storied career, here are seven must-watch Scott Hall matches for fans familiar to the man (or for those who want to become more acquainted with some of his best work).
Razor Ramon vs. 1-2-3 Kid, WWE RAW (May 17, 1993)
In the early days of RAW, this was a match that made it known that the show couldn’t be missed. In addition, on this same broadcast, Marty Jannetty defeated Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship. It was a historic night indeed.
This was Hall taking a pinfall that nobody saw coming for a man who would become one of his best friends in life, Sean Waltman. The finish would be replayed numerous times over the years as one of the most shocking moments on WWE television. It shows the generous side of Scott Hall. It’s not an in-ring classic, it’s very brief, but it’s on this list for historical significance.
Echoing history nearly 10 years later, Hall did a similar job for a rising young star in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania X (March 20, 1994)
This is the most obvious choice on the list. The most famous match of Hall’s career, and arguably his most influential. Though there had been a ladder match in the WWE before this (Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels in 1992 for the IC Title), this was the first time a ladder match was featured as part of a PPV.
Introducing the majority of wrestling fans at the time to a new match concept, Hall and Michaels (two real-life good friends) went out and electrified Madison Square Garden. The match received five stars in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and won Match of the Year for 1994.
Watching the match now, the spots might seem tame in comparison to the more psychotic ladder matches we have seen since, but this one stands the test of time for its next-level psychology and historical significance.
Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels, WWE RAW (August 1, 1994)
This was Shawn Michaels’ first television match since the aforementioned ladder match at WrestleMania X. The backdrop was the fact that Diesel (Kevin Nash, Intercontinental Champion at the time) would be defending his belt against Razor at SummerSlam just a couple of weeks later in Chicago.
This bout opens the RAW broadcast and is a doozy. From the first opening moments, Shawn is bumping all over the place for the much bigger Hall, letting him showcase his powerful offense.
As a bonus, this was the first episode of WWE television after Vince McMahon was acquitted of charges in the famous steroid trial. Randy Savage leans into this on commentary, with a “hung jury” being mentioned on more than one occasion.
Razor is outnumbered here, leading to Todd Pettengill mentioning moments after the match that Ramon might need to start looking into getting backup for SummerSlam. That would end up being none other than legendary NFL running back Walter Payton.

Razor Ramon and 1-2-3 Kid vs. Shawn Michaels and Diesel, WWE Action Zone (October 30, 1994)
Four best friends going out of their way to make each other look great. A bout that aired on WWE’s new Sunday broadcast (this was just the second episode of Action Zone) and did it’s best to make the new show can’t-miss programming.
This match earned 4.5 stars in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Given the short-lived television show it aired on, it has been hard to find over the years. However, it was released on a couple of Coliseum Videos at the time (Slamfest ’95 and Shawn Michaels:Hits From The Heartbreak Kid) and was featured on the 2015 Kliq Rules DVD set from WWE. Hits from the Heartbreak Kid is available on Peacock and the WWE Network.
Razor Ramon vs. Owen Hart, WWE RAW (January 9, 1995)
Another outstanding bout that opened a WWE RAW broadcast. Razor was the Intercontinental Champion at the time, taking on Owen Hart in the final days of his feud with his brother Bret (Bret’s involved in the finish of the match).
The crowd that night at Houston’s Summit is on fire as, similar to the RAW match with Shawn referenced above, Owen bumps all over the place to make Razor look like a million bucks. There’s never a dull moment throughout the match — 100% action-packed from bell to bell in front of what has always been a great wrestling city.
Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels, WWE SummerSlam (August 27, 1995)
The sequel to the WrestleMania X ladder match. Razor and Shawn take up the ladder once again for the Intercontinental Championship, this time in Pittsburgh. Honestly, some people actually prefer this one to the WrestleMania match, and it’s pretty close to a toss-up. I’d go with WrestleMania due to the historic nature of the match, but this one is really damn good, too.
This match would rank as one of the top 10 WWE matches of the 1990s by most accounts. You owe it to yourself to watch it if you’ve never seen it, especially if you’ve only seen the much more talked about WrestleMania ladder match.
Other than an IC Title match with Goldust at Royal Rumble 1996, this would end up being one of Razor’s last significant matches during his original run with WWE. Less than one year later, he’d be lighting it up with the nWo in WCW. Which leads us to…
The Outsiders vs. Randy Savage, Lex Luger and Sting, WCW Bash at the Beach (July 7, 1996)
This one is more for the history than the match itself, although it’s not bad by any means. Ring work wise, it doesn’t live up to the matches listed above, but it’s iconic for a different reason.
This was the night the nWo was born. Hall and Nash, The Outsiders, promised a mystery partner. They work almost the entire match by themselves, but then in the closing moments, Hulk Hogan comes down and turns his back on WCW, aligning himself with Hall and Nash to form the New World Order. A new wrestling boom period was born and Hall was crucial to its success.
Hall had been the original Outsider, debuting with the company unannounced six weeks earlier during the Memorial Day broadcast of WCW Nitro. His arrival started a spark, Nash’s subsequent arrival at Great American Bash kept the momentum building, and Hogan’s heel turn was the fire being lit for one of the most memorable periods in wrestling history.

The wrestling world lost one of the most influential people in the business as Scott Hall, also known as “Razor Ramon”, unfortunately passed away on March 14.
Hall was hospitalized this month after he broke his hip from a fall. He underwent hip replacement surgery and a blood clot was dislodged, which led to him suffering three heart attacks. He was then put on life support. On Monday afternoon, he was taken off life support and WWE announced his passing later that day.
The company shared a touching tribute video on Monday Night Raw dedicated to the “Bad Guy.”
“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,” a post shared on WWE’s Twitter account reads.
“The WWE family is saddened by the passing of Scott Hall, the man who proved it’s good to be the ‘Bad Guy,'” the video starts with the narration.
The video highlights the quick impact that Razor Ramon made upon his debut in the WWE in 1992. Triple H, Kevin Nash, and Hulk Hogan recount how Hall made it cool to be the bad guy with his Razor Ramon persona.
The video also touches on his legacy as one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions, and how he helped revolutionize sports entertainment with his stint with the nWo. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Sean Waltman recall that Hall was the pioneer in bringing something to sports entertainment that felt special and real.
The video aptly concludes with part of Razor Ramon’s Induction speech at the 2014 Hall of Fame: “Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don’t last, but bad guys do.” Ramon will always be one of the coolest guys to ever step in the ring, and his sheer swagger will continue to inspire many to be the cool bad guys.
Scott Hall, whose 20-year career transformed pro wrestling in the 1990s, died on Monday following complications from surgery.
According to Hall’s longtime friend and tag team partner Kevin Nash, Hall had suffered three cardiac arrests while having hip surgery, due to complications from blood clots. Hall, who was 63 years old, was on life support and survived for several hours after it was removed. He died later in the day.
Hall’s career experienced meteoric highs and crushing lows due to issues with addiction, alcohol, and pain killers. Despite addiction issues that hampered his career during the Monday Night Wars, he was noted as a brilliant mind, someone who could spot young talent and wrestle a versatile and athletic style as a large wrestler.
Hall’s life spiraled after he retired from wrestling, but he was able to get back into physical shape and recover from many of his issues thanks to help from Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Diamond Dallas Page. Hall’s recovery and efforts to turn his life around were shown side-by-side with Roberts in the Resurrection of Jake the Snake documentary.
Scott Hall as Razor Ramon
Hall had worked several years as Razor Ramon in the World Wrestling Federation through the early and mid 1990s. The character was based off the Diamond Studd character Hall began using in WCW while in the mid-card. He debuted with the WWF after a series of vignette’s promoting his character as a Tony Montana Cuban tough guy.
Hall’s WWF peak was his win in the first prominent WWF ladder match against Shawn Michaels. The match was considered on par with the great matches in company history. The win propelled Hall to a successful WWF Intercontinental Title run.
Hall’s most important work was during his return to WCW. Hall debuted in the spring of 1996 on WCW Monday Nitro speaking with his Cuban accent and talking down Gene Okerlund and Randy Savage using language from a series of WWF skits.
Scott Hall arrives in WCW (Memorial Day, 1996)
“You people. You know who I am, but you don’t know why I am here,” Hall said. “You want a war? You’re going to get one.”
Hall’s WCW debut was transformative for multiple reasons. He entered from the crowd, as an invader, which was meant to lead fans to believe he was there on behalf of the WWF in an invasion. Adding to the reality of the situation was Hall interrupting a match on Nitro, only for the competitors to stop and walk of like it was a security situation.
Hall’s WCW debut was one of the three major events that started the late 1990s wrestling boom, along with Hulk Hogan’s heel turn and the formation of the NWO and the debut of WCW Nitro on TNT. The moment is still copied and paid tribute to. When Jon Moxley debuted for All-Elite Wrestling at its first Double or Nothing PPV, Moxley entered the ring wearing a denim vest like Hall wore during his WCW debut 25 years earlier and came down to the ring opposite of the hard cam through the fans.
The formation of the nWo (Bash at the Beach, 1996)
Hogan’s heel turn at Bash of the Beach 1996 happened during a match between Hall and Nash against Sting, Randy Savage and Lex Luger. Luger was injured and taken out of the match early. Hulk Hogan appeared to save the day, but attacked Savage, leading fans to throw garbage and drinks into the ring. Hogan’s heel turn was a massive money driver, but much of Hogan’s credibility as a heel came from the cool factor of Nash, Hall and Sean Waltman, who were younger and dropped pop culture references across their promos and re-invented the cool heel.
Hall was noted by many for his creative mind and his ability to spot talent. He was also noted for his sense of timing. Lex Luger’s memorable win over Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Title was an idea broached by Hall to Nash and then later to Eric Bischoff. Hogan was in the middle of a long title reign en route to a Starrcade match with Sting, but Luger was a hot babyface with rousing fan support. His upset win over Hogan was one of the most memorable moments in the history of the show.
When Sting began his character transformation, it was Hall who suggested he go with the look of The Crow, the comic book anti-hero who had been played memorably by the late Brandon Lee in a popular movie. The character was a massive hit and became a favorite of kids everywhere. Sting’s look remained a popular Halloween costume for years. Through 1996 and 1997 Sting was the most popular babyface in wrestling based on the look.
Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid
Hall’s penchant for noticing young wrestlers led him to putting over Sean Waltman in the WWF in the early 1990s when Waltman upset Hall as Razor Ramon. The loss led to Ramon’s face turn. Hall, on a whim, jobbed to Chris Jericho on WCW live TV when Jericho was on his epic heel run in WCW. He also put over Hiroshi Tanahashi in 2001 in the New Japan G1, commenting that Tanahashi was “money” nearly a decade before Tanahashi became the biggest star in Japan and rescued Japanese wrestling.
Addiction issues kept Hall from becoming a bigger part of the creative teams in wrestling companies. Nash was eventually made booker for WCW, a job that would have likely gone to Hall if his health had been better.
A military kid, Hall once said the pro wrestling life wasn’t much different than his youth, when he moved regularly. He started his wrestling career in Florida with Dusty Rhodes. His first breakout was with the American Wrestling Association when he held the AWA tag team titles with Curt Hennig. Hall was extremely green at the time, but was already showing effusive charisma while Hennig was beginning to come into his own as a talent. Hall once said his time with Hennig in the AWA was why he made it in the business.
Curt Hennig and Scott Hall in the AWA
Hall had several start-stop programs in WCW and elsewhere. He debuted as the Diamond Studd as part of a stable with Diamond Dallas Page. The character was a dramatic turn for Hall, who was often given a Cowboy or Magnum TA style gimmick because of his look. He wrestled in the WCW mid-card for a period before being signed by the WWF.
Hall returned to the WWF in 2001 after the failure of the WCW Invasion angle. Nash, Hall and Hogan immediately became lightning rods in the WWF. The WWF’s version of the NWO was watered down and lacked little of the creativity spontaneity that made the angle so memorable and impactful in WCW. Hall’s peak during that brief run was working Steve Austin at Wrestlemania in a very solid match that was one of the best he had in the later stages of his career.
Scott Hall, also known as “Razor Ramon”, has passed away at age 63. WWE announced that Hall unfortunately passed away on March 14.
Hall was recently hospitalized because of a broken hip. Hall underwent hip surgery. On Sunday, it was reported that The Bad Guy had been put on life support. He suffered three heart attacks after complications with the surgery due to a blood clot getting loose.
Ramon is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. He was first inducted as Razor Ramon in 2014, and again in 2020 as a part of the nWo. Hall is a four-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, a two-time WCW United States Champion, and six-time WCW Tag Team Champion.
He debuted in 1984 and last wrestled in 2016 for F1RST Wrestling.
Fans can play as two versions of Hall in WWE 2K22. He is available as Scott Hall in the nWo 4-Life Edition and as Razor Ramon.
We at SEScoops would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Scott Hall during this difficult time.
Kevin Nash has posted a grim update on the situation with Scott Hall.
Wrestling fans were hit with some sad news over the weekend regarding the health of Hall. The former WWE and WCW legend developed complications from hip replacement surgery.
PW Torch reported that Scott Hall is on life support after suffering three heart attacks due complications from recent hip surgery.
Grim Update On Scott Hall
Taking to his Instagram account, Kevin Nash has confirmed that Scott Hall will be taken off life support.
“Scott’s on life support. Once his family is in place they will discontinue life support. I’m going to lose the one person on this planet I’ve spent more of my life with than anyone else. My heart is broken and I’m so very fucking sad.
“I love Scott with all my heart but now I have to prepare my life without him in the present. I’ve been blessed to have a friend that took me at face value and I him. When we jumped to WCW we didn’t care who liked or hated us. We had each other and with the smooth Barry Bloom we changed wrestling both in content and pay for those……a lot that disliked us.
“We were the ‘Outsiders’ but we had each other. 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. He wasn’t perfect but as he always said ‘The last perfect person to walk the planet they nailed to a cross.’
“As we prepare for life without him just remember there goes a great guy you ain’t going to see another one like him again. See ya down the road Scott.
“I couldn’t love a human being any more than I do you.”

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were close friends and were known as “The Kliq” along with Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Sean Waltman.
Kliq member Sean Waltman has yet to publicly comment on Scott Hall’s condition, but did post a tweet that featured four photos of them together:
Hall and Nash are often credited with helping WCW gain momentum in the “Monday Night Wars” back in 1996 when they jumped ship.
Along with Hulk Hogan, Hall and Nash formed the NWO. Many agree that the landscape of the wrestling business would’ve been quite different had Hall and Nash re-signed with WWE instead.
We at SEScoops wish Scott Hall’s loved ones all the best during this difficult time.
Wrestling legend Scott Hall is on life support following complications from hip replacement surgery.
The WWE and WCW legend underwent surgery last week but had serious complications following the surgery according to Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch. This resulted in a blood clot which got loose. Hall reportedly had three heart attacks last night.
According to the report from the Torch, Hall is currently hospitalized at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia.
Scott Hall first started making waves as a member of the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in the 1980s. He captured the AWA Tag Team Titles alongside friend Curt Hennig (the future Mr. Perfect) before departing the territory.
After some brief time with WCW, Hall turned up in the WWE where he achieved global superstardom as Razor Ramon. He won the WWE Intercontinental Championship on four occasions, including the most memorable bout of his career – a ladder match for the title against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X in Madison Square Garden. They had another ladder match the following year at SummerSlam that also earned rave reviews.

Hall departed the WWE for WCW in 1996 alongside his friend Kevin Nash. Originally referred to as The Outsiders, they helped spearhead a wrestling boom period alongside Hulk Hogan as founding members of the nWo. Hall won the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship twice and the WCW Tag Team Championships six times.
After the collapse of WCW, Hall briefly returned to the WWE in 2002 where he wrestled Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania X-8 in Toronto. He also spent some time in the twilight of his career with Impact Wrestling, among various others.
Hall was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame on two different occasions. First, as Razor Ramon in 2014, and later as a member of the nWo in 2020. He is a featured character in WWE’s new WWE 2K22 video game that released last week.

Scott Hall has been hospitalized. This is according to Jerry Jarrett via PWinsider.com, who shared the news on his Facebook page. Hall fell and broke his hip and is currently in the hospital.
The WWE Hall of Famer has been announced for WrestleCon on WrestleMania weekend in Dallas next month. As of this writing, it’s unclear whether this injury will force a change to that scheduled appearance.
Hall found success in the AWA and other promotions before going to WWE where he made a name for himself under his Razor Ramon gimmick. He later changed the business alongside Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan when they formed the nWo in WCW.
His last notable run came in 2010 as a member of the TNA roster where he had a short-lived reunion with Nash and X-Pac as The Band.
He was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame for the first time in 2014 and then part of the nWo-headlined 2021 Hall of Fame ceremony.
