WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall passed away earlier this year in March. Hall was in the hospital to repair a broken hip and that a dislodged blood clot during surgery resulted in him dealing with three heart attacks. His former nWo stablemate and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash opened up on the accident and reflected on the last phone call made to Hall.
Kevin Nash talks about the last call
It was reported that he was on life support following complications from hip replacement surgery before being taken off. Last week he underwent surgery. He had serious complications following the surgery according to Pro Wrestling Torch. It was further noted that Hall reportedly had three heart attacks. According to the report from the Torch, Hall was then hospitalized at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia.
Many stars of the pro-wrestling fraternity paid tribute to the WWE Hall of Famer including Sting, who is currently signed with AEW. The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, who is currently sidelined with an injury also paid tribute to the WCW legend.
On the debut episode of Kevin Nash’s “Kliq This” podcast, Nash talked about his late great friend Scott Hall. The podcast is up at AdFreeShows.com.
He further discussed the last phone call that was made to Hall before his tragic passing away:
“I got a call on Sunday saying Scott had three heart attacks and it didn’t look good. I tried to get a flight to Atlanta but couldn’t, so I went back to Daytona Beach and then couldn’t get a flight out of Daytona Beach. At that point, they said they were going to pull the plug and the doctor said that it would be maybe 10 minutes that Scott would be alive. So before they pulled the plug, all the Kliq [including Triple H] guys got on speakerphone and we all talked to him. We all cried was basically all we did. Seven hours later, Scott was still alive (but then died).”
Nash described Scott Hall’s accident that led to his death:
“People probably don’t know the breakdown as far as what happened as far as Scott passing and the timeline. Scott was in lockdown. It was in a little duplex. It was in Smyrna, Ga. Scott was getting Grubhub and had some Chinese take out place that would bring him back Vodka.”
“He was making some Kool-Aid. He put the plastic pitcher up to the refrigerator. The ice went in it, but a couple of the pieces of ice as always bounced out and landed on the floor. He went over and stirred it. I’m sure it was Crystal Light because he always ate pretty clean. He was going back to get something and one of those pieces of ice caught his heel. He did the fu**ing whoopsie daisy and fu**ing landed and broke his other hip.”
“He’s in the middle of his kitchen and he’s in so much pain and he can’t move. He tried to move several different times. He can’t move and finally, he passes out.”
“He wakes up and now it’s nighttime and he has no idea. He can see where his phone is by his recliner. He’s in between that and the Kool-Aid. He ends up passing back out, wakes up, and at this point is just like, ‘I’m so dehydrated.’ He’s got a defibrillator and a pacemaker in his heart. He’s like, ‘I’m going to croak if I don’t get some fluids.’ So he just turned and gutted it back to the cabinet and reached up the two hands and just drank it through the spout sip by sip. Slowly, he got enough to him that he was able to drag himself and he called 911.”
“They came and got him and took him to the hospital. So he went to Kennestone hospital which is like a two out of five star hospital. Scott didn’t have insurance. He needed to get the hip fixed. He had some other problems and some other issues. They did some CAT scans. When it would be time to get Scott out of the hospital, he was going to stay with Dallas (Page) and recover there.”
