Ultimate Warrior has died

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

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.

Yeah, very suspicious circumstances. Not saying they were foul play but seems like there may have been foul play. The immediate response for me is that drugs were involved, but that's merely speculation so not going to present that as fact. Feel bad for his family.

I'd be shocked if it's not heart related. The timing may seem peculiar but I don't think it has anything to do with his death. That makes even less sense than him actually passing. Years of steroid use is very hard on the body, especially the heart. It still sucks for his family, friends and fans.

After reading this article, it almost seems like he knew this was going to happen. His speech Monday night seemed to foreshadow his own demise. I wonder if this is also the reason he was all of the sudden inducted into the HoF? Who knows.

Very interesting, his final speech was about giving it all in life to the point where it pushes you to the brink of death. I wonder what more there is to this story. Hard to believe it was just a coincidence but it could've been just that. Hopefully nothing to overshadow his legacy as a great performer.

I just dont know what to say. I can sit here and tell you that my heart is saddened by this loss.

I didnt think he looked good monday night. I texted a friend joking how bad he looked and how hard it was for him to walk....he was sweating real bad i noticed...seemed to forget his lines a lil. And gave a speech like he was going to die...very weird....i got RAW still on the DVR....gonna have to rewatch....

RIP

My favorite wrestle growing up and my favorite of all-time. RIP Ultimate Warrior.

watched the wrestler last night. steroids ruin the heart, its why they are trying to clean them up.

Jim did not look good at the hall of fame, his face was beet red, clearly a man dealing with blood pressure problems, I thought it was drinking or snorting courage for the event.

Dont want the WWF hall of fame to turn like baseball inducting people after they are gone. Maybe its time to elect some of these other superstars before they go.

Come on now....it seems really likely that he probably had some form of heart failure (likely due to roid abuse), similar to that of Eddie Guerrero and British Bulldog.

The timing was probably just a coincidence.

Not being a fan of wrestling anymore but this and Macho Man were the two biggest shockers. The man from parts unkown was my favorite in the 80's.


RIP....

Regardless of how he died, he was one of my favorite performers in the history of the industry. I will always remember him for his agility, energy, and power. I was unreal at the time. Glad he & the WWE made amends before his passing. Glad he was alive to see himself inducted in the HOF. Thoughts & prayers to his wife and daughters.

Sad sad news and just crazy that this happened after HOF this weekend

Ultimate Warrior

 

[WhiteMamba]

I am speechless. It is like the Lord gave him a last hurrah before taking him back to parts unknown.

Prayers with his family. Rest In Peace Warrior.

Cryptic prediction: Autopsy shows tons of drugs in his system. He was probably coked out (and then some) for his RAW appearance. We forget how it can't be easy for all these guys to just walk out in front of thousands of people and act crazy in hopes you get a big pop....esp when you haven't done it in a while. Might have needed some extra artificial courage.

RIP Warrior. One of the greatest.

Where was Kevin Sullivan the last few days.

RIP Warrior. Loved him when I was a kid.

I did notice during his HOF speech he had a weird time bringing his hands to his chest whenever he would talk. It almost looked robotic.

Don't really care how the guy went out (if it were drugs) I understand it was part of these wrestlers lifestyles during their time. Regardless of what Warrior did to his body, its sad that he died so young and that he has daughters now that will not have a father.

One night before Warrior's passing. 2st time in a WWE ring in nearly 20 years.

Saturday Night was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame.

Monday Night Raw this past Monday, here is the Warrior giving his own eulogy. RIP

left this on the cooler thread. for those who don't actively follow WWE. not sure if someone posted vid, but here it is anyways.

Cocaine is a possibility (especially if Ric Flair is around), but I'm going to guess it was a combination of prescription pills.
