More on Scot Hall’s Broken Hip Injury & Health Issues Prior to His Passing

As noted before, wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall passed away this past Monday due to complications from hip surgery.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter held a recent interview with Sean “X-Pac” Waltman discussing Hall’s legacy. One of the topics discussed included Waltman revealing that Hall had been dealing with deteriorating health issues for the past two years prior to his passing.

Waltman stated that when Hall fell at his home and broke his hip, he was unable to move nor get to a phone to call for help for a couple of days. Waltman stated that friends of Hall had contacted Diamond Dallas Page to check on Hall, which resulted in Page finding him lying on the ground and getting him to the hospital.

Waltman also stated that Hall’s health condition had deteriorated badly over the past two years due to drinking issues brought on by his COVID-19 pandemic-related isolation.

“The pandemic did him in. It was hard enough for him as it was, but he was isolated in his house with no social interaction. He was down to 210 pounds. We called Dally (Dallas Page) and he went over. It was really bad.”

Waltman also stated that Hall’s health situation had worsen to the point where he had offered to stay at Hall’s home this past February to help look after him.

In regards to Hall’s relapsed drinking issues, Dave Meltzer reported that he had been involved in a drinking-related incident at a bar resulting in him passing out the night before last year’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, which featured the induction of the nWo as a group.

Meltzer also reported:

“While the story the public thought was that he had horrible drinking issues, but through working with Page, he had licked it and turned things around. And according to Waltman, there were times that was at least close to being the case. But things got really bad over the last two years.”
