"He will be sorely missed" - AEW manager pays heartfelt tribute to Scott Hall (Exclusive)
WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall (also known as Razor Ramon) passed away earlier this year, and AEW manager Tully Blanchard paid a heartfelt tribute to him.
Scott Hall was one of the most popular wrestlers in the industry during the 90s. The Bad Guy was perhaps the first heel to get cheered by fans because of how cool he was and his portrayal of the Razor Ramon character.
Upon jumping ship to WCW, the former WWE star changed his gimmick to Scott Hall as New World Order became the hottest act in the business. Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter, on behalf of Sportskeeda Wrestling, spoke to several big names from the wrestling industry about the Bad Guy.
Among them was AEW manager Tully Blanchard, who had the following to say:
"He was just just breaking in, uh, they did the thing, I think it was called the Twin Towers. He had a lot of potential and he raised to that potential and he will be sorely missed," Tully Blanchard said. (1:22 - 1:39)
