Kevin Nash shares heartbreaking tribute to Scott Hall on his birthday
The WWE Universe is remembering Scott Hall on his birth anniversary today. The wrestling legend is widely viewed as one of the best all-around pro wrestlers ever, despite his career being marred by controversies and the fact that he never held a world championship for any of the prominent wrestling promotions he worked with. Longtime friend and rival Kevin Nash (fka Deisel) took to social media today to pay tribute to the former Razor Ramon.
The Bad Guy tragically passed away on March 14, 2022, at the age of 63. Getting into the business at almost 26, the founding member of the nWo had successful runs in WWE, WCW/JCP, NJPW, NWA plus its various territories, AWA, and TNA, among many others.
The Outsiders kicked off what was arguably the biggest era in pro wrestling history with their legendary WCW Nitro arrival in 1996. The former Razor Ramon and Diesel worked together for decades and remained close until Hall's death. Nash took to Instagram today to pay tribute to his friend.
"Happy birthday, Scott. I thought we'd grow old together, guess it wasn't in the script. T yesterday and now you today. No wonder why I often feel lost. Love you my brother," Kevin Nash wrote with the photo below.
Hall and Nash first teamed up in 1991 as Diamond Studd and Oz on WCW Power Hour, then three years later as Razor Ramon and Diesel in WWE. Their last official match on record came at TNA Sacrifice in May 2010, where they retained the World Tag Team Championship over Ink Inc.
