Scott Hall

**Scott Oliver Hall** (born October 20, 1958 – March 14, 2022) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his work with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) as **Razor Ramon** and with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) under his real name.

Beginning with his time in the American Wrestling Association (AWA), Hall maintained a perennially high profile as a wrestler, as he became a four time WWF Intercontinental Champion (a record from 1995–1999), a two-time WCW United States Heavyweight Champion, a one-time WCW World Television Champion, and a nine-time world tag team champion (seven times in WCW, once in TNA, and once in the AWA). In addition, Hall is a two-time world champion, having won the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship. He is also notable for being a founding member of the New World Order (nWo). On April 5, 2014, Hall (as Razor Ramon) was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and again as a member of the nWo in 2020..

In March 2022, Hall was hospitalized after falling and breaking his hip. After Hall underwent hip replacement surgery, a blood clot was dislodged, resulting in him suffering three heart attacks on March 12, after which he was put on life support in Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia. He was taken off life support on March 14 with his death being announced later that day.
