For realz this time.

Burial Site: PARTS UNKNOWN.

For real though, very sad.

That's wild. He was just on Raw being inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame on Monday for the first time since 1996. Kind of eerie.

I just watched his speech on RAW. It was the first time I've heard him in 20 years. I was glad to see his promo was just as incoherent as they ever were. He will be missed.

It's almost like he knew something was about to happen. I watch wrestling maybe once a year and I happened to watch his induction speech on Monday.

It's amazing how popular it still is. They say the post-Wrestlemania RAW took about 1/3 of the projected ratings from the NCG on Monday.

Based on the police report, it doesn't appear to be suicide, but...

Every mans heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe its final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the bodies of others; If it makes them believe deeper in something larger than life; than his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.

^^^^ Quote from his speech on Raw two days ago. That man either knew this was coming or that was one hell of a coincidence

I thought

he actually said a few things that were pretty insightful. His comment about people being able to handle, physically, a great deal more than they thought was right on.

Strange. I flipped the channel to wrestling for the first time in years. I caught his intro and speech then changed the channel. My wife asked my why I was watching wrestling and she thought something seemed wrong with the warrior. It was a weird feeling waking up this morning and seeing the news.

It's sad, The cocaine and sterioids has pretty much ruined their hearts. Look how many pro wrestlers have died in the last 20 years, its pretty astounding.

He had the weirdest promos back in the day. But, in the past few years, he really channeled his inner-Warrior with inspirational videos. If you enjoyed the Ultimate Warrior back in the day, you should really give a few of these a listen.

He really hits his stride at around the 4:00 mark.

Isn't that the paraphrased speech by The Spinx at the end of

Gone in 60 Seconds?

The Raw after Wrestlemania is always pretty awesome. I haven't watched wrestling in a long time and watched WM Sunday night and enjoyed it.
