I don't know man. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole thing. I'm not a huge fan of The Warrior now, but back when I was 13 and he was in his prime he was one of my favorites. He's survived by 2 daughters and his wife which honestly probably hits me the hardest. Dude was 54, that's way too young to die. Someone on twitter posted a picture of him with his daughters at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony last weekend and it just crushed me. Here's the ultra creepy part. Warrior had appeared on WWE RAW just the night before and gave this speech:
Speak to me, Warriors! As I thought about what I was going to say this evening, it's been hard for me to find the words. [Puts on mask.] Well then, you shut up Warrior, and let me do the talking.Leave it to the Ultimate Warrior, a guy who in his time truly felt bigger than the sport, to deliver his own eulogy the day before he died.
No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them bleed deeper, and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized. By the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.
You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend-makers of Ultimate Warrior. In the back, I see many potential legends, some of them with warrior spirits. And you will do the same for them. You will decide if they lived with the passion and intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends, as well. I am Ultimate Warrior. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans. And the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever!
