Just three days after being inducted into the company's Hall of Fame, iconic WWE superstar Ultimate Warrior died Tuesday of unknown causes.
He was 54.
according to officials, "Warrior collapsed outside an Arizona hotel at 5:50 PM on April 8th while walking to his car with his wife. Warrior was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead."
Warrior's death comes as a shock to many who saw him seemingly in full health on WWE programming the past few days. He was a 2014 inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday, appeared at Wrestlemania 30 and was on the latest edition of Monday Night Raw in character.
"We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans," a WWE release read. "WWE sends its sincere condolences to Warrior’s family, friends and fans."
He must be older than Hulk Hogan (a lot better though) RIP
hulk hogan is 60, such a shame though, that video I posted is quite saddening, its like he knew he was ill and had no time left, gave his final words to his fans.
he apparently died from a catastrophic medical condition, so its quite possible he knew.
People like this are what got us excited as kids, that enticed us to get into wrestling with their unique looks and larger than life characters. So many have passed in recent years, from Eddie Guerrero to Randy Savage and each one has been as devastating as the last. Warrior was only on TV less than 24 hours before his death, so the shock is just unreal. And that, my friends, is why it's still real to us.
