Hogan mourned the loss of Hall in a speech at his Hogan’s Hangout Bar in Florida, according to ESPN. He shared, "A short while ago, a good friend of mine just passed away -- Scott Hall. He took care of me when I was down and out and when everyone thought Hulkamania was dead. Scott Hall resurrected me. He put me back on the map. ... I love him so much I can't even explain it to you"
Former pro-wrestler William Regal wrote on Twitter in memory of Hall, “In ‘89, I spent five weeks in Germany with Scott Hall. We got on. In ’91, I was on a tryout for one day for WCW in the UK and although he would never admit it, he kept me on the five-day tour. My deepest condolences to Scott’s family. Rest well, pal.”

Hall’s former tag-team partner Kevin Nash took to social media recently to share that he was gravely ill and that he would soon be taken off life support.
‘Razor Ramon’ was a double inductee into the WWE hall of fame who started off his career in the mid-1980s. The wrestler broke his hip due to a fall last month and had been hospitalised. He was put on life support following complications after surgery to fix his hip. According to PW Torch, Hall suffered three heart attacks while trying to recover from the unsuccessful surgery. The heart attacks were due to a loose blood clot that formed following surgery-related complications.
Born on October 20, 1958, Hall began his pro-wrestling career in 1984 in Champion Wrestling of Florida. Joining the WWF in 1992, Hall took on the moniker ‘Razor Ramon’ which was described as “Miami-Cuban character based on Scarface”. He also founded the New World Order (nWo) alongside famed wrestler Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash.
Hall won the WWF Intercontinental title four times, as well as seven tag-team titles in the WCW. Six of these tag-teams were with his long-time partner Nash.
The Instagram post announcing Hall’s condition by Nash read, “Once his family is in place they will discontinue life support. I'm going to lose the one person on this planet I've spent more of my life with than anyone else. My heart is broken and I'm so very sad.”
“I love Scott with all my heart but now I have to prepare [for] my life without him in the present. I've been blessed to have a friend that took me at face value and I him.”
He added, “As we prepare for life without him, just remember there goes a great guy. You ain't going to see another one like him again. See ya down the road, Scott. I couldn't love a human being any more than I do you.”
