MORE INFORMATION ON THE SAD PASSING OF THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR

By Dave Scherer on 2014-04-09 01:11:55

As reported earlier, The Ultimate Warrior, born James Hellwig, passed away today at the age of 54.  When I first heard the news, I hoped that WWE was referencing the character "The Ultimate Warrior".  Sadly, that is not the case.

Warrior passed away earlier this evening outside of a hotel in Arizona.  He was walking to his car with his wife when he collapsed.  He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

He was coming home from what had been a historic and amazing weekend where he was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame and did a great a promo on last night's Raw.  Words can't describe how shocked I am right now. I want to take a moment to send along my deepest condolences to his friends and family.
