Marietta, J.A.; (WTAJ) – wrestling legend Scott Hallwho became famous in the early 1990s under the name Razor Ramon, was put on resuscitation machines after suffering multiple heart attacks after hip replacement surgery.
The surgery led to serious complications and led to three heart attacks, leaving “The Bad Guy” on life support machines at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia.
WWE Legend Kevin Nash announced it Instagram The Hall family prepares to get him off life support.
“Once his family is in place, they will be off life support devices,” he wrote.
“I will lose the one person on this planet that I have spent more time with than anyone else,” Nash said.
“I love Scott with all my heart, but now I have to prepare for my life without him for the time being.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with Scott Hall who is working on life support at Wellstar Kinston Hospital. We spent many years in WCW and WWE together. Some great memories,” Mark Miro, a former fellow WWE wrestler, tweeted.
Hall experienced a massive rise in fame in the early ’90s as the Scarface-inspired Razor Ramon. After a number of Intercontinental Tours, Hall left WWE to return to WCW (World Championship Wrestling) where he helped revolutionize wrestling as we know it by forming the New World Order, or nWo, with Hulk Hogan and Nash.
Over the years, Hall developed a severe alcohol addiction that even appeared on TV while in WCW and in TNA/Impact Wrestling as part of a storyline. Later he sought treatment and became sober.
He has since been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, once with the nWo and once as the iconic Razor Ramon. In his acceptance speech, he famously said, “Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don’t last, but bad people do.”
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Scott Hall and his family. Thinking of you right now. Sending lots of health, healing, love and strength your way. Xoxo, Impact Wrestling Knockout Champion Mickey James Tweet on Sunday afternoon.
