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.
