"When we jumped to WCW we didn't care who liked or hated us. We had each other and with the smooth Barry Bloom, we changed wrestling both in content and pay for those ... a lot that disliked us," Kevin Nash said in the caption, with an old photo of the best friends smiling at each other.
According to a report from Metro, the 63-year-old Hall was placed on life support at a hospital in Marietta, Georgia when he suffered three heart attacks. He had hip replacement surgery after a fall but there were complications after a blood clot got loose.
