Probably my favorite wrestler of all time...others come close (Hogan, Austin, The Rock, Muraco, Razor Ramon, Savage) but they'll only be one Ultimate Warrior. RIP old friend...Leave a comment:

We noticed his being out of breath on Monday night, and my husband remarked that he must have really torn up his body when he was younger by the way he was walking.
It's almost like he knew this was his last chance to say goodbye, and he took it.
I'm sad to see him go, but dang, what a way to go... make amends with the WWE, get inducted to the Hall of Fame, go to Wrestlemania, show up on RAW with a live mic to say bye, and instead of disappearing into obscurity, he dies. This is the stuff legends of made of.
I'm lucky I never sold my carded Wrestling Superstars 89 Ultimate Warrior figure...I don't have the heart to part with it.Leave a comment:

But I loved the ultimate warrior character and always will... He was a great inspiration to me as a child.. I feel for his 2 little girls, he was a badass , a great dad and a legend!! May you rip you crazy ******* :(

Now back to my toy room to cry some more :(Leave a comment:

My grandfather referred to him as "The Indian". He made quite an impact on us young uns when he debuted. Instantly everyone's favorite, and Hogan was suddenly old hat.

The amount of steroids the guy pimped into his body didn't help, I'll bet. The price these guys pay......
Very sad, but at least his final days were a celebration of his life and accomplishments.Leave a comment:

My heart is broken by this...loved you Warrior.
The Ultimate Warrior, one of U.S. professional wrestling's most celebrated athletes, has died at the age of 54, days after being inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc Hall of Fame, the company said late on Tuesday.
"WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior," the Stamford, Connecticut-based company said on its website.
Warrior, whose real name was James Hellwig, began his WWE career in 1987 and rose to become one of the biggest stars in WWE history, the company said, highlighting an "epic encounter" in which he defeated Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI to become a WWE Champion.
The cause of his death was not given. He was added to the Hall of Fame on April 5.
"We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans."
Supporters and wrestlers took to the internet to express their respect for Hellwig, survived by his wife Dana and his two daughters, WWE said.Leave a comment:
