"Among other hugely successful programs, he appeared as the villain in international cult classic Takeshi’s Castle from 1986." Hell yes.

Super Muneco has passed away. https://twitter.com/MPenaAAA/status/1491476858545790978 His health seemed terrible when he'd wrestle pre-pandemic and I think he was older than his listed age of 59. Very sad.

Scott Hall wasn’t perfect and you’ll find plenty of uncomfortable accounts about his conduct, but he did his best to make amends as much as he could even if he didn’t always pin his demons. I respect him for that. Cleaning my living room this morning and had Razor v Bret from RR93 on in the background. Such a great big guy. Crazy he never got a run with the world title in that fallow mid 90s period.

harperdc posted:Beyond gutted. Complications from a surgery to help with his quality of life in old age…loving hell. to be honest, it's the on-brand most life-fucks-scott-hall way to die. Pretty normal surgery for folks his age to have? loving dies from it for no reason other than horrific luck. Absolute bullshit. I never thought I'd want to hug Kevin Nash but god drat.

Didn't his alcohol abuse do some (like, actually known) damage to his heart? I could see that maybe being an issue vis a vis blood flow and whatnot. Either way absolutely heartbreaking.

That's like my actual nightmare. I really wanna be aware when I'm dying. I don't want to die in my sleep or unconscious. So the idea of laying down for surgery, them putting you under and that's it for you as your last thoughts is my hell. Hall deserved better. Hell we all do

Pretty devastated, loved The Outsiders so much as an adolescent, my best friend and I were the outsiders in our neighborhood (poor kids from broken homes) so they resonated so hard with us, and the attitude of like "well, gently caress it, we'll make whatever we're doing the cool thing" was crucial to me, i was the extraordinarily tall one and he had the tooth picks and slicked hair. he took his own life a couple years back, never was able to consistently get the right kind of help for his demons (manic depressive), just how it goes on this bitch of a world. but it was nice to see Scott get his poo poo together a bit and be able to heal some. i hope AEW gives him a proper shout Wednesday.

Dammit, this blows. Scott Hall was such a big part of my childhood. One of my favorites for sure. And he seemed like a good guy too. I know he had his demons, but nobody ever said a bad word about him that I can recall. Seemed universally beloved. I know he has kids too. gently caress

For a very long time there’s been a running joke with my two best friends that we’re just like the nwo. One’s tall and wise, the other’s bald and thinks he’s the centre of the universe, and I got the demons. Seeing Scott turn his life around was always one of the most inspiring things I could imagine, something I’ve tried to use in my own journey through life. There’s maybe 2 other wrestlers in the world I’ve ever felt any sort of connection to in the 20+ years I’ve watched this poo poo. This really sucks. RIP Razor.

I think one of the worst things WWF ever did was try to villinize Nash and Hall for basically being about the money and not about the "love". gently caress that. Employers don't love you and will use you for free labor every time if you let them.
