Ultimate Warrior dies

The Ultimate Warrior who officially changed his name to Warrior in 1993 has past on at the age of 54 Tuesday less than 24 hours after getting into a WWE ring for the first time in almost 20 years. It comes as a complete shock that he died so shortly after returning to the WWE as he was inducted into the WWE hall of Fame Saturday, goes to WrestleMania Sunday, Gets into a WWE ring and thanks the fans Monday, and is gone Tuesday. He was a huge WWE superstar in the late eighties and early nineties with his face paint, the running to the ring, shaken the ring ropes, and his crazy speaks and will truly be missed by the WWE universe. It is also kind of crazy thinking about the Undertaker losing at Mania Sunday night and thinking that the only kind of other reaction compared to the shock and ah of the crowd would been up in the 500 level of the Skydome in Toronto on April 1St, 1990 as an almost 14 year old watching The Warrior pin Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI and not able to believe it actually happened. Then Tuesday afternoon talking to a co-worker at work and saying that AJ Lee losing the title to Paige was like the greatest intercontinental champion of all time Honky Tonk Man @ the first Summer Slam in 1988 calling out anyone in the locker room and Warrior comes down to the ring and pins him in 10 seconds. Papa Shango (past known as the Godfather) putting a heck on the Warrior and red goo coming and of Warrior's hat and running down his face that made him vomit in strange colors in a short return to WWF in 1992. His last big angle was in 1998 where he would talk into a mirror about his One Warrior Nation that was setup to get Hulk Hogan his win back from Warrior from WrestleMania. Warrior could of been a much bigger star but he would constantly have disputes with Vince McMahon over money after he lost the World title @ Rumble '91 and left the company after that year's Summer slam. He would make a short return to the WWF @ Rumble '92 as he vanishing in November of that year to reappear @ WrestleMania 8 to face triple H in 1996 and only lasting four month while made his first Raw appearance April 8TH, 1996 which 18 years to the day that he died. Like most wrestlers of that time they mixed steroids with rec drugs and alcohol and just like others it destroyed the Warrior's heart Tom Mehegan
