Scott Hall’s haunting last Instagram post was dedicated to his WWE ‘buddies’ before Razor Ramon star’s shock death at 63

ICONIC wrestler Scott Hall dedicated his final Instagram post to his wrestling buddies – months before his death.

The sports entertainer, 63, shared an image from the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony where he was inducted into the esteemed club as a member of the famous wrestling faction the New World Order (NWO).


Hall is a two-time Hall-of-Famer, having also received a gong in 2014 for his career as Razor Ramon.

He said: “WWE Hall of Fame 2020… going in once was Sweet. Going in with your Buddies. Everyone for a second time is just 2Sweet.”

The photograph also featured a tuxedo-clad Hulk Hogan and Hall’s close pal Kevin Nash – who were also part of the NWO stable.

Nash and Hall formed the tag-team duo The Outsiders and they held the WCW World Tag Team Championships six times.
