[quote=WWE.Com]WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior began his WWE career in 1987 and quickly went on to become one of the biggest stars in WWE history. Warrior became WWE Champion at WrestleMania VI, defeating Hulk Hogan in an epic encounter. We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans. WWE sends its sincere condolences to Warrior’s family, friends and fans. Warrior was 54 and is survived by his wife Dana and his two daughters.[/quote]

Damn! He was just on Raw last night!
He looked fine on Raw, too.

Two days after Wrestlemania, ouch.

I'm so glad he got to experience this again before he passed. His legacy is forever.
I thought it was Chuck Norris that passed away then I remember he is immortal.

That speech last night sounds really macabre in retrospect.

I'm glad he at least got to end on that note instead of something worse.
Him and Randy Savage are now wrasslin' in the big ring in the sky.
I just saw him on Raw two days ago... Damn, this is awful. He was just inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I don't even know what to say.
Macho Man and now this :(
The Blood Red Moon shines on. :(

Die.
It's a damn shame how young these wrestlers can die, all because they gave all they had to the business.
Awh man. RIP. Wonder what the cause of death was.
Do we have any idea of his cause of death?
No official cause released so far.
I still can't believe he was on TV just yesterday.
Only 54? He was right around my dad's age. That's pretty young to just die suddenly like that, I feel terrible for his family. I wonder what killed him?

Are you ten?
I'm in shock right now. This is so surreal. He gave that insane, rambling, hour-long speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony, looked great at Wrestlemania, then cut that promo on Raw which was a great moment, and then a day later this happens? I don't know how to feel.
His last promo is incredibly eerie in hindsight, too.

I'm actually a bit startled by this. He looked pretty good for a 54 year old wrestler on Wrestlemania and on Raw, and suddenly he's gone.
I just hope they give him the same treatment they gave Eddie Guerrero when he passed away; it's the least he deserves.

The video's an hour and a half long but the first 8 minutes will give you the gist of it.
54 seems mighty early to die

Pro wrestlers have notoriously bad health conditions. They push themselves to the absolute max just to stay in the business. Being that big and doing stunts like that takes it's toll on you.
A true warrior would not even expect to live 54 years old. And he's supposed to be the "Ultimate"
I honestly feel like he killed himself, for how weird his speech was on RAW a little more than 24 hours ago, and he didn't get a huge ass good reputation until yesterday, I feel like that is somewhat possible.

Not even that it has to be suicide, but he absolutely had to know what was up. It's a little too perfect, the way things worked out. Then again, this is bizarre and insane, and what could be a more fitting end for one of the more crazier characters in the annals of wrestling history?
I don't understand.. I just saw him on Raw the other night and now he's gone. It's extremely odd timing and what he said in his promo has made this very eerie.
