Scott Hall passed away at the age of 63 having suffered a series of heart attacks over the weekend.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson paid his own personal tribute to Scott Hall in a post on his Instagram page by writing the following:
Pro wrestling just lost a legend in Scott Hall.
Scott came from an era of pro wrestling where wrestlers were the biggest and toughest men on the planet.
Scott was a big man who was athletically gifted.
Tough as hell.
And inside that ring he was an extraordinarily talented and intense athlete.
Before my match here with Scott, I made sure to tell him how much his in ring work influenced me. When I was a rookie in wrestling, I would study Scott’s matches. His style, intensity, crispness and his excellent in ring IQ and psychology 🧠
I studied his matches, frame by frame.
He was shocked to hear this from me.
We came up in different eras.
He knew I was a student of the game, but had no idea he was one of the ones I studied.
He thought that was so cool and we went out there that night and lit it the fuck up inside that ring 🔥
It was my honor, brother.
And “thank you for the house” 🙏🏾
Go rest high.
