WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall, a key figure in pro wrestling’s massive growth in the 1980s and ‘90s, has died at age 63.
He had been hospitalized and was on life support, according to industry officials familiar with the situation.
WWE in a statement called him “a hugely influential superstar” and said it was saddened to learn of his death. The organization did not list a cause. Hall was part of a 1990s revolution when he and other famous performers, including Hulk Hogan, jumped from Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation, now World Wrestling Entertainment, to Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling upstart, shaking the industry to its core., the moves by Hall and others are still considered huge moments in building individual brands for performers.
"It [Hall's defection to WCW] gave people a sense of agency that there were other places to go," Thompson said."And that sounds so obvious now, but that was a big deal then [in the 1990s]. You're not just one of the soldiers in Vince's army.""My life was enriched with his take on life," early Monday morning, with a picture of his wrestling partner."He wasn’t perfect but as he always said 'The last perfect person to walk the planet they nailed to a cross.'""Scott Hall, pulling for you my friend,"Wrestler Triple H said Monday night that he was “gutted” and “lost a brother.”
