I knew him as Razor Ramon. Evidently a blood clot issue arose after having Hip surgery last week. Reports are saying he has had 3 heart attack since then. Sad.
 
I was once watching an interview with Brett Hart and he talked about how destructive and depressing Scott Hall was to be around. Doesn't surprise me to see him end up like this, though if that were me then I would fight to the bitter end. I wouldn't care about the pain, as long as I'm conscious and able to enjoy every blue sky then don't pull the plug on me!

I'm guessing there's a good chance he's not conscious. Enjoying a blue sky may not be an option.

Assuming he's not in pain and currently in a coma, I don't see the need to pull the plug. The cost to keep him alive could be managed by the family.
 
Definitely one of the guys slapping around other guys in their undies which my dad made fun of me for watching in the 90s…I never missed WCW back in the day.

RIP you legend. I loved to hate you and Nash before I knew better

By the fact a lot of wrestlers die early, are on drugs and pain killers, and probably have a shitty family life as they are on the road for a good portion of the year, I bet most wrestlers are depressing. Nature of the business. Beating each other up and travelling to different hotels every week all year seems impossible to keep up for decades.

Every time I see Bret Hart in some interview, he seems half-assed himself. Doesn't look like the funnest person to be around. Always complaining about something.

All I can tell you is there are worse things than dying. I've seen it. Being in life support for an extended period of time with no hope of meaningful recovery is not living.
 
Dude was a legend, master of his craft. It was very unfortunate that he battled so many issues through his life even though that doesn't seem to be what ultimately took him out. 63 is way too young but at least he's now at peace.

He was a better wrestler than many people gave him credit for. He could elevate others like Kurt Angle did in his quite technical match with Steve Austin (oh good ol' pwtorch website).
 
Hmm I was wondering how this even happens and seems that blood clots do mention hip surgery specifically for this possible complication.

And there are preventative measures like stopping smoking, moving around, and blood thinners. I wonder if this could have been prevented. Says he had surgery early this month. Then suffered the 3 heart attacks Saturday.

Brett is probably on painkillers as well. Being a wrestler is the classic example of don't simply believe through cover. There are good times on the road, but often everything else you miss out on hits the hardest.

You're probably right, but there's still that small chance of recovery and despite how small it might be, it's still worth fighting for.

You're welcome Dr. Jackass. Anytime I can give a consult, holla at ya boy!
 
Damn, knowing all the podcast folks who are friends with him makes it worse. Very sad to hear. He was on a the right path and thankfully we got to see his best days. RIP
 
I was never into wwe but whenever we played the wrestling games as kids, I always took this dude for some reason. RIP to a piece of my childhood.

Out of my top 5 of all time (Macho, Razor, Benoit, and Dynamite Kid) only Bret Hart is left.
RIP Razor and thanks for all the memories

Yeah I was upset when I heard of Scott hall of my favorites growing up. Always wanted to meet him made chest hair cool 😎. Hall, Bret, Owen, Mr perfect were my top guys.
 
He had a flame that burnt fast and bright in wrestling.

His loss to the 1,2,3 kid was a great gift to xpac when he debuted in WWE.
 
It's worth checking out his ESPN documentary if you haven't. Seems him killing that guy in self-defense when he was young messed him up a lot and was something he really struggled with.
 
One of the greatest performers of all time.

He is in a separate Mount Rushmore with the likes of Mr. Perfect, Arn Anderson , etc guys that were never "the guy" but were peek performers that could make a wet paper bag look like a million bucks in and out of the ring.


Rest In Peace Scott!
