Ultimate Warrior has died

[wildturkey]

WWE confirmed it. The Warrior has died.

Seriously, wtf? I normally (and sadly) don't get surprised by wrestler deaths but this is a shocker. He looked totally fine over WM weekend

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

That is shocking, especially with the timing of his HOF induction and his appearance on Raw just last night. I was watching "The Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior" just this weekend. Was really fun to watch during his prime, the only wrestler that was able to compete with Hulk Hogan for popularity during the height of Hulkamania. RIP to the Warrior. Truly saddened by this news. God bless.

Heart attack? Wish this was just another rumor. Hard to count how many times I've heard he died over the years. Appears to be real though. RIP Warrior, safe trip back to Parts Unknown.

So sad. I wonder what the cause was

Really sad to hear.

being a avid wrestling fan.

WM 6 moment was one of the lasting memories of this old school fan

WM 7 moment when he was talking to his hands was one of my favorite moments that never gets talked about

Ditto for Summer Slam 1988 when he beat the HTM for the IC tittle

something to ponder.

He did seem a lil out of it last night.

RIP Jim

Wow, that sucks man. I just got to see him in person this weekend, and his young daughter was there as well. I feel bad for that little girl, she looked so happy to see her dad go into the WWE HOF.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "Tomorrow is promised to know one!! Enjoy every second, with a tool called love!! My love to The Warrior and family. RIP"

Just sums it up

How so? For him, I actually thought he was rather tame. Like in his prime Warrior was 150% nuts. Monday he was about at 60%.

guys. I'll try to follow it tomorrow. Got a study session for my final from 10-Noon and takes me a hour to get home. I'll see what i can grab before i go to bed (Midnight) and i'll stay on top of this breaking story tomorrow

 

[cezero]

unsurprising given he did enough PED to kill a small hippo

RIP

i enjoyed watching his matches as a kid

yeah. Maybe something happened. Weird things i noticed though.

He comes out in a suit and tie.

Quick crowd pan (30 Seconds)

He now has a jacket

Starts talking.

This is where it gets weird.

It Seems that the feed cuts out or the tape runs out. bc he has a mask from out of nowhere.

Usually Vince slowly focuses on things. The Mask just seemed to appear

Here is what i think happened.

They figured something was up. They did the segement at 4:30 pacific (half a hour before Raw) with it kinda being a dry run (the warrior was a tendcey to ramble and shoot) and then have him do it again later

HOWEVER​

something happens (heart attack, Stroke, Passes out) and they wisk him away without any reporters or "sources" knowing.

Seems very far fetched but with Vinny Mac's distain for the leaks to the wrestling press. Would not put it past him

Warrior collapsed outside an Arizona hotel at 5:50 PM on April 8th ... while walking to his car with his wife.

Warrior was transported to a nearby hospital ... where he was pronounced dead.

Well blew my theory out of water with a nuclear bomb

Very sad. And what crazy timing. I know there was some major tensions for decades between him and the business (WWE) but fortunately he was able to be recognized for his efforts and his success right before this unfortunate event. Growing up, Ultimate Warrior was my favorite wrestler. I have several VHS tapes from his greatest matches.

Sad news, and I pray for his family, I know he has children and I cant imagine what they must be going through.

Thanks for the memories Warrior.

I enjoyed watching him as a kid as well. A couple of months back I watched some of his old matches and interviews on tv. It's not surprising but it is sad.

R.I.P.

Damn! sounds like he went into cardiac arrest, this is so sad in deed & he looked just fine, goes to show you, we never no when it's our time to go. You will be missed Ultimate Warrior, RIP.

Yeah he looked as healthy as a horse during his HOF induction, I'm wondering what happened between then and the moment he passed away. Can't be a coincidence that the events were so close to one another.

I'm real curious to see what the autopsy report will say, I hope we know soon, because this is not sitting with me well, it doesn't make sense.
