WWE, wrestling world pay tribute to Scott Hall


Tributes to Scott Hall poured in on Monday following the WWE Hall of Famer’s passing at the age of 63.
During Monday’s Raw, Kevin Owens opened the show with a “Hey, yo,” one of Hall’s trademark catchphrases. Owens made another Hall reference in a backstage segment with Seth Rollins, calling back to Hall’s first WWE Hall of Fame induction speech.
Damian Priest used Hall’s Razor’s Edge finisher in the first match on Raw, sending Finn Balor onto the announce table.
WWE aired a tribute video to Hall in the show’s third hour.

He wore that shirt every week & had the rest of the nWo(Hulk,Dusty, Macho Man) always shout me out on live TV while I was out with a broken neck. Just one example of what a good friend he was. #RIPScottHall pic.twitter.com/eBCg7FoOH6

This is a very sad day. Scott Hall was one of the greatest wrestlers to compete in any era. When he walked on to Nitro on May 27, 1996 it changed wrestling. “Survey Says: May the Bad Guy Rest In Peace.” pic.twitter.com/YyI2O3BwB5

Heart breaking, HUGE loss. He definitely made us all better – helped me with that one-of-a-kind Scott Hall insight. So many “Too Sweet” memories.
Scott – you will be missed. pic.twitter.com/Y2duSyrxlY

Diamond Dallas Page, who played a large part in Hall’s personal life in helping him battle addiction, posted:
My brother has gone on to Valhalla to raise some hell
The bad guy till the end.
“YO Death, what’s your finisher? Can’t wait to kick out”
He may not have kicked out,
but he wasn’t gonna put that MF’er over clean ❤️@realkevinnash love you & miss you more!
God Speed

Other wrestling legends and current talent also chimed in and paid their own respects:
I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Scott Hall, a singular talent and in my view, perhaps the greatest to ever preform in the squared circle.
I will miss you, my friend.
God speed. “Hey yo” https://t.co/oj5H3Co3s2— Shane McMahon (@shanemcmahon) March 15, 2022

You just wanted to be around him. I’m very grateful for those moments. His spirit will live on through his friends and family, and those of us who will try to be just 1% as cool as The Bad Guy. Thank you for everything, Scott.

He was the coolest when I’d watch him as Razer and just as cool when I’d met him 25 years later. Always meet your heroes if you can. Some turn out awesome like Scott. RIP

So many prayers for Scott Hall and his family right now. The wrestling community is a very strong family and near or far, we have each others backs. Times like these are never easy but I do know there are so many incredible people waiting for you on the other side, ‘Bad Guy.’ 💜 pic.twitter.com/KGTpWR44BR

Being able to watch back the Wrestlemania X Ladder Match with Shawn and Razor at the Performance Center will always be one of my favorite memories.
Thank you for being a huge part of my childhood and taking the time to share your knowledge with all of us that day. #RIPScottHall https://t.co/XjpaT3EKm0
