Scott Hall In Dire Straits!

Scott Hall, The Razor is not doing good.

Wrestling legend Scott Hall had a massive heart attack and it does not look good. The New York Post says that he suffered three heart attacks on Saturday night. He is on life support. 

The 63-year old known as Razor Ramon and the co-founder of the n.W.o. (New World Order) franchise of then-WCW and WWE with longtime friend Kevin Nash (The Diesel Knight) and Hulk Hogan.

Hall is being treated at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia outside of Atlanta. He had a loose blood clot. He was originally hospitalize dfor a broken hip just a week ago.

A two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Hall had been scheduled to appear in Dallas for Wrestlemania.

Hall has been a part of the 1980s and 1990s rise of WWF (now World Wrestling Entertainment) and WCW (World Championship Wrestling). When WWE bought WCW from Turner Sports, the company merged the two and the n.W.o. came through to terrorize the WWE.

Hall always portrayed himself as a heel. He loved being the "bad guy" in wrestling. That's why he was known as the Rude One. Hall and Nash formed the Outsiders and helped elevate WCW into high ratings.

When they created the n.W.o., man it was the best thing in wrestling. It had at one time included: Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk (Hogan), X-Pac (Syxx), The Big Show, Ted DiBiase, nWo Sting, Vincent, Buff Bagwell, Konnan, Scott Norton, Macho Man Randy Savage, Curt Henning, Rick Rude, Eric Bischoff, Scott Steiner, Bret Hart, Lex Luger, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags), Miss Elizabeth and even Dennis Rodman.


Scott has two children. Cody Taylor is a professional wrestler with the New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

The image stuck with Hall. He was criminally charged with second degree murder after shooting a man with his own gun. He acted in self-defense and the charges were dropped. He said that day will forever haunt him.

He also had got into incidents involving domestic abuse and public intoxication.

Scott admits he was addicted to cocaine, alcohol, marijuana and pain medication. He entered into sober living for two years before returning to the WWE and AEW. He also had a podcast on YouTube 

Scott also has temper. When a comedian was roasting wrestlers, the mention of Owen Hart (Bret's brother) who died in a tragic incident before Over-The-Edge on Pay-Per-View. Scott rushed the stage and wanted to serve a two-piece to the comedian after he "disrespected Owen's name."

Owen's incident had forced the WWF to drop to WWE and also called for federal standards to wrestling. This came before the Chris Benoit incident which sparked the steroids in sports scandal.
