RIP Ultimate Warrior :(

Seemed strange to think he was 54 years old. With a persona like Warrior's you don't ever really think about them aging. Then you're reminded of it and it seems strange to think of him being the young guy shaking the ropes and babbling his way through promos. Time can be a cruel mistress sometimes and this is yet another example of that. RIP Warrior.

I remember the shock and awe of him beating Hogan for the belt. It was insane and awesome at the time. Warrior had plenty of charisma and his promos are the stuff of legends. I still think that he wasn't so hard headed and Vince was a little bit less of a jerk, Warrior would be that guy who pops up every few years like Jericho does now and then.

 

Goodnight Warrior, sleep well in Valhalla.

When I was a kid I never rooted for the good guys, For me the bad guys were far and away more cool than any good guy. Even in wrestling, Jake Roberts, The Million Dollar Man, Randy Savage. Those were my guys. Then came Warrior, he was a bit of an odd duck even for a good guy, I dug his gimmick to a degree and I still recall him racing to the ring, wiping out Honky Tonk Man, winning the intercontinental title from him, then racing back to the locker room. It was over before I could blink. I look back on that with amusement. When he was on screen he was entertaining, I can't ask more than that. RIP.

And what a gift. When a performer can broaden your horizons and make you see the product differently than you ever have before, that's something special. For you he brought you into the face camp. He made me stretch my wings and start to look more favorably at the heels because the act annoyed me so. We both broadened our horizons because of his influence. The sad part is sometimes it takes moments like these to recognize how valuable an experience like that is.

Guess you can say he had a week to die for. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> What? Someone had to lighten the mood. RIP Warrior.
