Wow, just heard that the Ultimate Warrior is dead. Crazy. He just had that amazing speech at Raw last night. RIP Warrior. You were a true one of a kind.

This has been on my mind all day. Sad to see him go at such a young age and leaving behind his wife and 2 young daughters.

This has been on my mind all day too. This has been surreal for me. On Sunday night I stayed up watching the live results online from WrestleMania 30, as well as what was available on YouTube. Then, last night, I read that the Warrior had been on Raw, so I viewed his speech in the ring. Reading some comments about his appearance made me take another look at him, and I rewatched it. He had a tired look in his eyes, almost a sense of sadness. I figured it was just him realizing that his time in the sun was past.

Then, this morning, after a bunch of chores, I get online and go to the WWE site to look at some t-shirts for sale, just for the hell of it. I was wondering if there were any Ultimate Warrior items. I start looking at the shirts, when I decide to check the wrestling site I go to for info (411 Mania).

The first thing I see is the headline:
Ultimate Warrior Dead at 54.

I was stunned. Stunned.

Although I went back and forth as far as being a fan (being a Hogan fan I rooted against Warrior now and then), I never failed to get a charge out of watching him. His entrances were so exciting, so over the top. I remember seeing him live at the Worcester Centrum. Awesome times!

I just spent a couple of hours watching matches from the older Ultimate Warrior DVD I have, and a bunch of his promos and parts of the documentary. Mr. Perfect. Rick Rude. Elizabeth. Sherri. Macho Man. All gone. And now the Warrior.

Seeing the picture of UW and his two daughters escorting him to the Hall of Fame induction Saturday night is just too sad. Listening to his speech, he stated that the Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD broke his heart, and that "I was a good person. I am a good person."

I know that he was a very strong-willed individual, and held firmly to his convictions. This is just my own take, but I bet he had a heart condition, like so many others of his era, and he willed himself to get through this final round. it's almost as if he got so worked up, so emotional about returning and finally getting the chance to say his piece at such a venue, that he gave his all, and then he had nothing left to give. Which is such a shame, for he left behind his wife and two beautiful young daughters, whom he obviously loved very much.

The Ultimate Warrior's not supposed to die. He's supposed to remain eternally young, battling and teaming up with Hulk Hogan, wrecking Rick Rude in the steel cage, and destroying the Honky Tonk Man in 31 seconds to win his first WWF title.

It sucks so much, getting reminded that you're not the only one getting older.

RIP, Ultimate Warrior.

Well said DP. I can't believe it either. Just thinking back at him being walked out by his daughters at the HOF induction is just heart breaking. My prayers go out to the Warrior family.

That's what really got me. He was so proud of his little girls. I'm glad he got to give them that moment but man I can't imagine how tough it has to be for them losing their dad.

Every little boy and girl thinks their dad is invincible. These girls had the freakin' Ultimate Warrior as a father. I just feel really bad for them.

Yeah it blows big time. On brighter note.... I'm glad they didn't break up the Shield. Makes no sense. They're super hot. If they wanna push Reigns they could still do it with them as a group. Just like the horseman with Flair. I was pumped when they beat up HHH.
