I saw this thread this morning, but had to go work a 12 hour shift before I could really respond.

As someone who grew up with WWF(I am 31 now) and Warrior as a kid I am just so sad and shocked. I am not shocked when wrestlers die anymore, I think that was removed with Bulldog I want to say. Maybe Eddie.

It still will get to you though, that someone you watched as a kid, and someone who is younger than your parents(well my mother, my father died when he was 49, almost 8 years ago), especially when you just saw them. I didn't watch all of the Raw speech, I did listen to his whole HoF induction, but I did see the struggle rope jiggle, and didn't really think anything of it. I was more shocked/annoyed that he had on a warrior mask, and not the actual paint.

So many gone, some to their own fault(benoit, Dino Bravo), some from demons(the Von Erichs, Hennig), some from accidents(jyd, owen) and you get used to it because it is so fukking common to us in our late 20's and early 30's, but we really shouldn't be used to it. It is someone who entertained us, and they passed on way to soon.

to every wrestler ever for putting their lives at risk at the time, and in the future to entertain people. It could be 20 people in a gym, or 40,000 in a arena. Even if I hate you as a character, or even a person I respect what they do.

First bret now x-pac on how they knew something was wrong

On the subject of Warrior's health this past weekend, Sean Waltman had the following to say:

I got a sense he wasn't well," Waltman said. "It was sad to me. He was kind of hunched over. He used to have such great posture. You just had this sense that he wasn't well. But he was in great spirits. He came up to (other wrestlers) and gave them hugs.

I can't even put it into words. One of my early favorites when I first used to rent old VHS tapes.

RIP Warrior.

Rest in peace

During Raw I was thinking "man, glad he was able to come home. Savage will never be able to do so"

The timing of Warrior's death got me fukked up. Unbelievable.

it still saddens me knowing we'll never get to see this in our lifetime.

DVD's or an induction will never be the same as seeing the man there one last time with that music.

Wow this is fukking bananas. Not even sure what to say right now man I'm gobsmacked

In the end, you could see how genuinely happy he was to let ppl know @ the HOF that he wasnt some weirdo that he'd been portrayed to be.
He believed in that Warrior character and the principles it stood for.

Then he got to go on RAW one more time and be in the ring before he passed. Obviously we all wish he didn't die so young, but at least he went out (hopefully) happy and at peace with ppl.

Triple H had the following to say regarding Vince and Warrior's talk over WrestleMania weekend:

"Vince said to him a couple of days ago, 'I've always loved you," Triple H recalled. "Sometimes, I didn't like you, but I always loved you.

I've hated that fakkit since Eddie Guerrero died. He shytted on wrestlers then, claimed that it shouldnt be news when they die, and he said he thought originally it was baseball player Eddie Gordado that died and it would've been a bigger deal had it been him.



I hope that every anti wrestling, cheap shot taking pieces of shyt that try to demean wrestling and the wrestlers deaths have to deal with the agony and distress of a loss of a loved one like the fans and family members of wrestlers do.

I never understood why when a wrestlers death gets brought up that more often than not it's like they just dismiss it as nothing

I mean I understand that maybe they wasn't a staple of their childhood like all of ours but why not just be a little compassionate that it was a person that died and left a mourning family behind

Who gives a shyt if he wrestled for a living..atleast he made a career while they were here and were able to provide for their family

People really piss me off nowadays

Arriba la raza

idk..its tricky because of the timing. with the HOF/wrestlemania/his return and immediate death.

everything else equal, the bigger story would have been savage

I'd go with Savage. He was just as big and even more mainstream imo

RIP to both larger than life figures
