Scott Hall, the wrestler made famous by the Razor Ramon character, has died at the age of 63. H...

By and large, the last nine years of Hall's life played out in relative serenity. Frustrated by an inability to break into the world title picture, and its accompanying bump in income, Hall handed in his notice with the WWF in the spring of 1996. The nWo would bloat to ridiculous proportions, but its nucleus was always Hall, Nash and Hogan. However, the more laissez-faire backstage attitudes within WCW only enabled Hall's alcoholism, and he entered rehab in 1998. Hall would go on to sporadically appear for start-up promotion TNA, but his drug and alcohol problems saw his life spiral downhill. He arranged crowd-funding drives to fund hip replacement surgery and dental work for the former 'Bad Guy'. Hall referenced the wrestling war that was well underway between WCW and WWF, with duelling Monday night television shows. From the jump in his WWF run, Hall was presented as a big deal. His appearance on a May edition of WCW Monday Nitro is now part of wrestling legend, but at the time appeared truly revolutionary. That third man turned out to be perennial good guy, Hulk Hogan. Together they formed the New World Order, a group of neither face nor heels, but cocky outsiders who were - on-screen- determined to bring about the downfall of WCW. Still audibly leaning on his Razor Ramon character, he told the watching audience, "You all know who I am, but you don't know why I'm here." Initially dubbed Scott "Gator" Hall, he floundered in an organisation notorious - even by then - for fumbling with the careers of future starts. The cocky Diamond Studd persona also saw Hall swap the bushy Selleck moustache for a 5 o'clock shadow, greased back hair and ever-present swagger.
