Professional legend Scott Hall has passed away at the age of 63. After being taken out of life support a few hours ago, the family of the legendary name has confirmed that he is no more. Life support was given to him on Sunday following complications from recent hip surgery. The fixing process reportedly led to him suffering several heart attacks due to a blood clot.
During the opening of this week’s RAW broadcast, WWE aired a graphic in memory of Scott Hall. They also posted on social media about the announcement on The Bad Guy’s passing with the following statement,
“WWE is saddened to learn that two-time WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall has passed away. WWE extends its condolences to Hall’s family, friends and fans,” they wrote about the man also known as Razor Ramon.
As reported earlier, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer suffered a broken hip in a fall, earlier this month. A blood clot following the blood clot was dislodged and that led to him suffering three heart attacks, this past weekend.
