When did Scott Hall stop being Razor Ramon?
The unfortunate death of pro-wrestling legend Scott Hall has saddened fans of all ages. He will always be remembered as one of the coolest talents to ever step into a squared circle.
Most fans know that Hall once competed under the ring name Razor Ramon for Vince McMahon's company. If you're wondering when exactly he began wrestling under his real name, we've got you covered.
When did Scott Hall stop being Razor Ramon?
It happened in 1996, just before he aligned himself with Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash to form the nWo. Hall and Nash famously appeared in the Nitro crowd, kicking off a sort of invasion angle that was meant to seem real. Alongside Hogan, they would become major players in the fabled Monday Night Wars.
Hall had originally taken the name Razor Ramon in 1992 when he officially made his debut for WWF. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as Razor in 2014, then again as Scott Hall alongside the nWo in 2020.
