Sad to hear of his passing as he was always my favourite wrestler. His ring entrances were the best ever and his manic energy has never been topped.
The Ultimate Warrior - RIP
Is he really dead , or his he just pretending?
Apparently Saville used to wrestle as the Ultimate Worrier
A man has died in front of his family and this is the response. What a low down place this has become.
And that's what it took to knock the scales from your eyes?
As a wrestling fan I was glad he buried the hatchet and accepted a place in the hall of fame, comp DVD sure to follow, before he died. Shame it was soon afterwards.
He looked like Dee Snider from Twisted Sister.

Sorry Ben. 
Anyway, I remember him from my childhood days. Never that much into wrestling him and Hogan are about the only wrestlers I remember from the good ol' 80s.

Really?
I'm doing this off the top of my head:
Eddie Guerrero, Test, Bossman, British Bulldog, Macho Man, Brian Pillman, Chris Benoit, Andre the Giant, Crash Holly, Giant Gonzalez, Mr Perfect, Owen Hart, Umaga, Lance Cade, Chris Candido, Kris Kanyon, Von Erich(multiple), Junkyard Dog, Mike Awesome, Rick Rude... sure I've missed some others.
The culture and physique of Classic/New Generation/Attitude-era wrestling was never going to give rise to longevity.
I'm just glad that there is a new drive towards putting belts on smaller, indy-style wrestlers (Punk, DB etc.), and guys won't feel pressured to recklessly pursue success through such unnatural bodies through inorganic methods.
I think wrestling has been pretty clean for quite a while, but the long list of deaths since that of Eddie Guerrero (the saddest of them all, except maybe Owen) is more as a result of latent damage already done.
I'm sad to say that guys as naturally large as Kane and the Big Show seldom live deep into old age, wrestlers or not, but I hope the regular-sized guys of the post-attitude era benefit from the WWE's increased attention to the obvious issue that existed at the time.
As for Warrior, there is a rumour going around that he knew he didn't have long left, and wanted to bury the hatchet and secure a WWE contract to support his family. The content of his speech didn't do much to prove such rumours wrong. It was a very macabre speech with talk of "last heart beats" and legends living forever through the memories of fans etc..
RIP Warrior
