WWE and WCW legend Scott Hall will be taken off life support after experiencing serious health complications, his friend Kevin Nash announced on social media.
According to the pro wrestling newsletterPW Torch, Hall is on life support after complications from hip replacement surgery earlier this month, the outlet said.
Representatives for the Georgia hospital where the outlet said he’s being cared for and the WWE did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
In a post toInstagramon Sunday night, Hall’s longtime friend and pro-wrestling teammate, Kevin Nash, said he will be taken off of life support once “his family is in place.”
“Scott’s on life support. Once his family is in place they will discontinue life support,” wrote Nash, who formed the famed World Championship Wrestling (WCW) tag team “The Outsiders” with Hall in the 1990s.
“I’m going to lose the one person on this planet I’ve spent more of my life with than anyone else,” he added. “My heart is broken and I’m so very f—g sad. I love Scott with all my heart but now I have to prepare my life without him in the present.”

With his trademark toothpick between his lips, Hall solidified his place in pro wrestling history with Nash when they joined forces with Hulk Hogan to form the New World Order, better known as “nWo,” while at WCW.
Nash continued: “Scott always felt he wasn’t worthy of the afterlife. Well God please have some gold-plated toothpicks for my brother. My life was enriched with his take on life. He wasn’t perfect but as he always said ‘The last perfect person to walk the planet they nailed to a cross.’ As we prepare for life without him just remember there goes a great guy you ain’t going to see another one like him again. See Ya down the road Scott. I couldn’t love a human being any more than I do you.”
Former WWE star Marc Mero paid tribute to Hall on Twitter with a photo of the pair embracing.

“My thoughts and prayers are for Scott Hall who is on life support at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Ga,” Merowrote. “We spent many years in WCW and WWE together. Some great memories. He recently had hip surgery but had serious complications which led to three heart attacks.”
Hall was inducted twice into WWE’s Hall of Fame: once in 2014, and a second time in 2020 as a member of nWo.
