The wrestling world has been paying tribute to Scott Hall since the legend passed away at 63. One of Hall's closest real-life friends, Triple H, also sent a heartbreaking message to honor his friend.
"I’m gutted…Lost a brother. I love you Scott!! I’ll see you down the road #BuddySystem."
Triple H and Scott Hall were part of The Kliq along with Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, and X-Pac. Hunter himself recovered from a cardiac event a few months back and has been resting ever since.
#2 Randy Orton got angry with Kofi Kingston for messing up spot
Former WWE writer Freddie Prince Jr. revealed that during a match between Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston in 2009, the latter blew a spot that angered The Viper.
Vince McMahon was very keen on pushing Kingston to a top spot, but the plans had to be scrapped because Randy Orton got furious on live television.
''So a spot gets blown and Randy gets pi**ed on live TV and you see him yell ‘stupid’ with that deep Orton booming voice... so this spot gets blown, meaning the technique, a stunt in the match gets blown. You can tell something doesn’t look good,'' said Prince Jr.
After this, the plans for Kingston changed. He remained an upper-mid-carder until he was paired with Big E and Xavier Woods to form The New Day.
