Thanks for the memories Warrior...RIP
EDIT: Just saw his promo on Monday's Raw. Rather spooky that he talked about people's hearts stopping, taking their last breaths and living on in memories and stories. That's hair raising stuff there.
Hearing about this just now gives me chills. Maybe he knew something was up. Eerie.
Hogan & Ultimate Warrior were the two main guys during my first foray into wrestling as a fan during the early 90s. Can't forget Wrestlemania VI or the Savage/Warrior career match in VII. The funeral parlor where his head started bleeding was classic stuff too.
Definitely one of the main faces of wrestling when I was a kid. 54? Wow. These wrestlers just all seem to go out young.
It really is an interesting correlation so to speak. The age of wrestlers and their unfortunate early exits. Can only wonder what they're doing to their bodies and hearts to see the trend continually repeat.
Unfortunately, alot of wrestlers like Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, Big Boss Man, Brian Pillman, Davey Boy Smith all died from either drug overdose or "heart issues" which were related to drug overdose.
I suspect the same MAY have been the case with Randy Savage as he died of a "sudden heart attack" while driving in his car.
The Chris Benoit situation was very, very bizarre. I believe he was taking steroids and also suffered severe head trauma from wrestling related injuries which led to that HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE incident.
The only wrestler I am aware off that died of a freak cause was Owen Hart. Sad part about that is ironically enough, Owen seemed like he was the most down to earth guy out of all the wrestlers.
As for the Warrior, I still haven't read or found out how he passed away. I know from how chisled he looked during his prime in the 80s and early 90s, many people suspected he was on roids.
