April 9 (National Post) -- Former wrestling superstar

Warrior is best known for his time as "The Ultimate
Warrior" wrestling in the late 80s and early 90s, with his most
noted acomplishment winning the WWF championship from Hulk
Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 at the Skydome in Toronto. He was a top-
tier talent for the company before parting ways with it a few
years later. After leaving the WWF, he legally changed his name
to Warrior and wrestled for a time as part of Ted Turner's WCW.

Although he was not in the physical condition to wrestle,
Warrior returned to the WWE on Sunday for Wrestlemania 30 and
on Monday's "Raw" program. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of
Fame last week.
At his Raw appearance, Warrior gave a poignant speech in
which he spoke of being "immortalized."
"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat," he said,
donning a mask that mimicked his trademark face paint. "His
lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in
his life what 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
story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor
him and make the running the man did live forever."

The cause of death is so far unknown.
Warrior was known for his crazy man persona, his mask-like
make-up, neon arm-bands, and for his signature "body press"
finishing move where he held his opponent above his head and
slammed him to the mat.

At this point, it almost feels unnatural for a pro

Non ha alcuna connessione con lo sci, ma molti di noi sicuramente se lo ricordano nella sua lotta contro Hulk Hogan e, qualcuno, forse ricorderà anche la "dichiarazione di guerra" che ha letto (con molta enfasi e teatralità) prima dell'incontro

R.I.P. , Ultimate Warrior

Chi di voi si ricorda la "dichiarazione" : "I can destroy you, Hulk Hogan ... I've got the power in my hands... ecc ecc". Un mito, secondo solo ad Hulk Hogan
 
Nei videogiochi quando prendevi lui e hulk hogan tutto era più semplice.
Fatality.
 
L'ennesimo Wrestler che muore in giovane età, da MachoMan a MrPerfect fino ad André The Giant...
Chissà cosa si sono bombati in vita loro.
 
Sono appena arrivati alla 30esima di wrestlemania...

Lo avevano appena inserito nella hall of fame e poi il giorno dopo,
lunedì,era sul palco di Raw a New Orleans.

Martedì è morto,ha finito praticamente nel suo mondo,
RIP.
