"WWE is saddened to learn that two-time WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall has passed away," WWE announced on its website.

"A hugely influential Superstar, Hall began his career in 1984, performing with various organizations across the country before joining World Championship Wrestling in 1991 as The Diamond Studd. In 1992, Hall signed with WWE and introduced fans all over the world to the character of Razor Ramon, becoming a four-time Intercontinental Champion and one of the most enduring personas of WWE's "New Generation."
