Bret Hart Shares Touching Tribute To Scott Hall

Scott Hall tributes continue to pour in from around the pro wrestling world following the former Razor Ramon's passing at 63 years old this week.

Bret Hart posted his reflections on Hall's death to Facebook on Tuesday evening, recalling how Scott was in better times, looking back on their two high-profile WWE pay-per-view matches in 1993, and mourning the number of wrestlers from their era who are sadly no longer with us:-

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Scott Hall. I wasn’t very close with Scott in his later years, but upon reflection, I can flashback to many happy and fun memories of the days when he was my friend. I think Scott carried many heavy crosses long before I ever knew him. He was a good friend to Owen long before he became Razor Ramon. Wrestling life can be so much fun, and at the same time, it can take all you have at the same time. I will always remember Scott in the better times with his cool, dry sense of humour while playing gently with my sons. We had many matches and he was a hard worker. I loved my matches with him at Royal Rumble and the first King of the Ring in 1993. I fondly look back on so many terrific matches he had with Owen, Davey Boy, Sean Waltman (123 Kid), and Shawn Michaels. We’ve lost so many wrestlers from my era, and this is just one more to a list that’s far too long. I won’t blame any one thing, but I do believe that if the days of wrestling 300 days a year had been kinder and more considerate, if we could’ve been home with our loved ones more, many of my old friends and brothers would still be here. I think Scott would smile to know that so many people really loved him and will truly miss him. One more wrestler. A fine machine gone too soon. My thoughts and prayer go out to his family, friends, and loved ones.

The aforementioned King of the Ring and Royal Rumble matches were the only singles contests between Hall and Hart to ever make tape. They clashed many more times in tag bouts for WCW years later, however.

Hall passed away shortly after being taken off life support on Monday, 14 March. The WWE Hall of Famer had suffered three heart attacks following complications stemming from a hip operation the week prior, with long-time best friend and tag team partner breaking the news that once Scott's family was in place, his life support would be "discontinued."
