Scott Hall: WWE/WCW Icon on Life Support Following Surgery, Heart Attacks

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter
March 13th, 2022 2:03 PM

Scott Hall, the WWE Hall of Famer and WCW wrestler, is on life support following complications stemming from hip surgery.

First reported by PWTorch, Hall underwent hip replacement surgery last week and then had three heart attacks last night (March 12) due to a blood clot that occurred following the hip surgery. TMZ would go on to confirm that Hall is on life support “according to sources familiar with the situation.”

Hall’s wrestling career spans multiple decades. He first broke through in the then WWF in 1992 as Razor Ramon, a character heavily inspired by Tony Montana from the 1983 film Scarface. Hall, along with Kevin Nash, would become two of the most important forces in “The Monday Night War” when they jumped from WWF to rival wrestling promotion WCW. Hall and Nash would soon after form the iconic stable the New World Order (nWo) with Hulk Hogan.

Hall would exit WCW in 2000 and have a short stint in New Japan Pro Wrestling before returning to the WWF in February 2002. His stint with WWF would also be short and resulted in him leaving for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling later that year where he would stay until 2008. After multiple brief stints in other promotions, he would land back at the now WWE where he was inducted twice into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014 as his Razor Ramon character and then in 2020 as a member of the nWo.

 

WrestleMania: 10 Interesting Facts About ‘The Showcase of the Immortals’

  • WrestleMania almost wasn’t WrestleMania

    Share

    Legendary WWE Hall of Fame ring announcer Howard Finkel is credited with coining the name “WrestleMania,” but before landing on that perfect name, Vince McMahon wanted to call his annual showcase “The Colossal Tussle.”

  • WrestleMania 35 was the first WrestleMania to be headlined by women.

    Share

    It took over three decades for women to headline “The Showcase of Immortals,” but it finally happened in WrestleMania 35 when Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey faced off in a Winner Takes All Triple Threat match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.

  • Run-DMC provided a WrestleMania first.

    Share

    The iconic rap group was the first act to ever perform at WrestleMania outside of the singing of the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful” when they performed “WrestleMania Rap” at WrestleMania 5. Many other acts have performed at WrestleMania since including Flo Rida, Diddy and Motorhead.

  • WrestleMania 2 is the only WrestleMania to happen on a weekday.

    Share

    Up until WrestleMania 36, which saw the event split into a two-night affair, WrestleMania 2 was the only WrestleMania to not take place on a Sunday. Instead, it took place on Monday, April 7, 1986.

  • WrestleMania 28 holds the record for most PPV buys.

    Share

    The WrestleMania that billed the "once in a lifetime" match between The Rock and John Cena saw 1,217,000 PPV buys, which is the most PPV buys for a single WrestleMania ever. Of course, that “once in a lifetime” tag wasn’t exactly true, and The Rock vs. John Cena would headline WrestleMania 29.

  • “Macho Man” Randy Savage has the record for most WrestleMania wins in a single night.

    Share

    OH, YEAH! WrestleMania 4 featured a 14-man tournament for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Savage would end up winning the title defeating Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, One Man Gang, and “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase.

  • Longest match in WrestleMania history.

    Share

    The legendary iron man match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII still holds the record for longest WrestleMania match clocking in at one hour, one minute and 52 seconds.

  • Shortest match in WrestleMania history.

    Share

    The shortest WrestleMania match happened in recent history at WrestleMania 32 when The Rock squashed Erick Rowan in just six seconds.

  • Most losses at WrestleMania.

    Share

    Triple H may be one of the most prolific wrestlers in WWE history, but he also has the notorious honor of having the most losses at WrestleMania with 13. Yikes!

  • Total attendance at WrestleMania.

    Share

    Overall, a combined 1,956,981 fans have attended WrestleManias 1-38.
