Razor Ramon began his career in 1984 but rose to prominence in the 90s with WWF before departing in 1996 to join WCW.
He will be fondly remembered as a founding member of the New World Order (NWO) that comprised of Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash at the time.
Razor Ramon left WCW in 2000 and returned to the WWF (later renamed WWE) for a short stint in 2002.
On March 24, 2014, Razor Ramon was announced as the seventh and final inductee into that year's class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
