The wrestling world has lost one of the most influential men in its history. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announced on Monday March 14 the death, at the age of 63, of Scott Hall, who played the character of Razor Ramon in the American League. He had also been behind the villainous nWo clan (New World Order) alongside Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash in 1996.
Scott Hall broke a hip last month. During surgery last weekend, he encountered serious complications, causing three cardiac arrests. On Sunday, his former partner in the rings Kevin Nash indicated that Scott Hall was placed on life support. His family made the decision to take it away from him on Monday evening. He died hours later at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia.
Impact on pop culture
“A good friend of mine just passed away, Scott Hall,” Hogan said in an appearance filmed and posted to his Instagram account Monday night. He took care of me when I was depressed and when everyone thought Hulkamania was dead. Scott Hall brought me back to life. He put me back on the map. …I love it so much I can’t even explain it to you. Bad times don’t last, but bad guys do… So for the original bad guy who took Hulk Hogan and taught Hollywood how to be a bad guy, I got nothing but love.”
The impact of Scott Hall and the nWo on pop culture is still felt today, recalls BFMTV. NBA star Kevin Durant, model Kendall Jenner or rapper Drake have been photographed wearing nWo or Razor Ramon clothing.
