After spending years in relative obscurity, including a run in Ted Turner’s WCW as “The Diamond Studd,” Hall launched into notoriety in the WWF (now WWE) in 1992 as Cuban bad guy Razor Ramon, winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship four times.
In May 1996, he jumped back to WCW, where he partnered with fellow WWF star Kevin Nash as The Outsiders, an invading tag team. Two months later, Hulk Hogan joined the pair and formed the New World Order, or nWo, one of the most popular and influential stables in wrestling history.
Hall remained a major star in WCW throughout the late-1990s, both as a tag team and singles performer. He briefly reunited with Hogan and Nash as the nWo in the WWF in 2002, and wrestled in smaller promotions and internationally until 2010.
