Well, Saturday was the WWE Hall of Fame induction, where The Ultimate Warrior was the headline. It was also leaked on Saturday that Sting had finally agreed to a deal with WWE and would debut at Raw following Wrestlemania to begin a storyline with the Undertaker for his final match at WM 31 next year. Sunday was Wrestlemania, which was by all accounts a massive success, except Undertaker suffered a legit concussion and ended up spending the night in the hospital, postponing Sting's debut. On Raw, The Undertaker made his last public appearance and his comments now seem eerily prophetic. Monday was also the return of RVD to action and saw the kickoff of the traditional post-Wrestlemania storylines. And then on Tuesday Warrior passes away just days after his much-celebrated return to the WWE fold.Uncle Si":3jn1rkah said:oh do tell...

I was going through the Deadspin article on the Ultimate Warrior today (fascinating actually) and they had some clips of the old WWF. Forgot all those characters and how much fun that was to watch as a kid.

How very Mickey Rourke-ish.

But UW was pretty much a talentless hack and after he beat the greatest wrestler of all times "The Honky Tonk Man" in like 30 secondsI was done with wrasslin. Its too bad he was so young but his body had been through a lot of abuse!

I remember watching the NWA when it was in a studio in Atlanta or something? You guys remember that? Dusty Rhodes, Road Warriors, 4 Horsemen, Ric Flair, Nikita Koloff, Rock n Roll Express, all those guys?
I remember when Hawk died, that bummed me out. Him and Animal... my favorite wrestlers of all time. Those guys live a hard life, takes a toll.
RIP Warrior
