Well he was only 5 ft tall.

I'm fairly sure that's what he was getting at. (Not poking fun at you, I just think people took his comment a bit too literally.)

Such a shame to see someone go at such an early age really. So many wrestlers seem to suffer with heart problems later on in life. Is this why he collapsed?

Collapsed whilst walking to his car with his wife, such a unique way of topping himself...

Was a huge fan as a kid, saw him vs Macho Man at Summerslam 92.

There may have been a chance that this information wasn't in any of the articles when I read it this morning.

And like I said, most info was from a mate of mine. They were speculating 'Suicide' on a wrestling Forum.

RIP big man
 
RIP Warrior

Reason why warrior was good because he wasn't an 'actor' he believed all his **** hehe. He always seemed to me to be a big kid who was playing as this warrior wrestler for real...he's a nutter yeah..barking mad but what a guy!

Best years where till about 1991 Didnt like his comeback in his new "leaner" style in wwf

Best matches/feuds probably

vs Andre the Giant/Heenan. Rick Rude (cage) Macho MAN/King prior W5 and career ending matches... his Undertaker feud (just mainly because Undertaker kicks his ass haha) Maybe Jake the Snake Roberts a bit (but the snake man is such a funny guy he deserves a mention haha) His appearances at the various survivor/royal rumbles...always fun :D

Of course he was a drug-fuelled madman and he didn't really have the same impact in his various comebacks....when he was off the drugs....but still mad :D

RIP

 
I can still vaguely remember the first time he appeared in the ring.

This guy runs out, dives into the ring and starts going ape! Tearing at the ropes with rock music blaring away lol! Total Nutter but brilliant at the same time.

He was a fave alright! Us kids thought he was great. Its all a big show but what a show it was, those were the days.

RIP Warrior.
 
I remember him wrestling with Ravishing Rick Rude (also deceased). Fond memories from my child hood

I have both of their wrestling figures knocking about somewhere - along with Jake the Snake Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Million Dollar Man, HBK, Andre the Giant (although one of his arms fell off), British Bull Dog, Macho Man Randy Savage (oooooooooooo yeah!) and some others....

It's sad how few of those guys are still with us :(

I don't care for wrestling at all these days, but right at the beginning of the nineties, when I was about 8-10, I absolutely loved it. Feeling pretty melancholy today after this news :(
 
Never really got to see him in his heyday but remember him never the less. Most these Wrestlers don't seem to make it much past their mid fifties (with the exception of the Hulkster). Must take a big tole on the body having to be pumped all the time. Scott Steiner can't have long left.
 
That's a rather unsettling list, so many of my old favourites have gone (not watched it for years) - out of the most recent twenty, fifteen of them were younger than me :o
 
I remember watching that Wrestlemania, 2 of favorite wrestlers of all time, not knowing who to cheer, but being utterly shocked when Hulk Hogan lost. :eek:
Then smiling ear to ear as I saw Hogan hand Warrior the belt and raise his hand, a hero even in defeat. :)

I don't know anything of the controversy related to the Ultimate Warrior, I havn't seen WWF in donkeys years, but still, very sad to lose a childhood hero :(.
