Wrestling legend dies

- MICHAEL SHERMAN michael.sherman@inl.co.za

THE tributes have poured in for World Wrestling Entertainm­ent (WWE) legend Scott Hall, also known as Razor Ramon in the ring, who died on Monday at the age of 63.

Hall had hip surgery last week at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia, US, but suffered with complicati­ons after the procedure. Hall had three heart attacks and was put on life support. On Monday his family had no choice but to take Hall off life support.

Before Hall died, news of his condition saw some big names send their wishes, including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Johnson was hoping for a full recovery for Hall. Following his passing, 14-time WWE word champion Triple

H mourned the loss. Known as one of the bad guys of pro wrestling during his career which ran from 1984 to 2016, Hall was always a popular character.

In one of his more famous quotes, Hall said “bad times don’t last, but bad guys do”.

English profession­al wrestler Saraya said Hall was a hero.
