Kevin Nash Shares Details on What Led to Scott Hall's Passing
Kevin Nash debuted his new podcast Kliq This on Monday and spoke on a wide variety of subjects, including the tragic passing of his best friend, Scott Hall, back in March. It was already public knowledge that 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. Nash explained what caused the hip break, which turned out to be a simple accident in his apartment.
"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 f--ing whoopsie daisy and f--ing landed and broke his other hip," Nash said. "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," he continued.
Nash also described the final hours of Hall's life, saying everyone from The Kliq got the chance to speak with him before he was taken off life support — "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 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)."
