The Ultimate Warrior im Alter von 54 Jahren verstorben: Todesursache bekannt

Mir wird das ganze momentan bisschen zu groß gemacht. Das kommt mir schon fast wie Blinde Verehrung vor und damit habe ich dann auch ein Problem. Keine Frage um den Wrestler ist es wirklich traurig.
Aber als Mensch hat er sich wirklich Dinge erlaubt die überhaupt nicht gehen, rassistische Hassreden waren da noch das harmloseste. Deswegeen geht mir die Verehrung die momentan überall für den Warrior herscht ein wenig zu weit.

- Bret Hart tweeted the following about The Ultimate Warrior:

"I'm deeply saddened at the sudden passing of Jim Helwig, The Ultimate Warrior. I wish I'd been kinder to him in the last moments that we had this past weekend at WrestleMania 30. We did cross paths once or twice, but we were all so busy. I never went out of my way to see him, but if I could... I'd tell him he looked good. He looked content and he looked like he'd finally found happiness within his children and his wife. He never ever harmed me nor did we really work with one another... I wish we had. His final ring promo breaks my heart. I've many fond memories of times we shared, only now do they pile up in my head. I'd also tell him that he was right, he never was such a bad guy. My thoughts are with his wife and children. I never thought his time would be so short. I know one thing, I will never forget him. - Bret"

Die Tage schon auf Instagram gesehen. Richtig stark aber auch traurig zu gleich.

Die WWE widmet sich in der kommenden Woche dem kürzlich verstorbenen Ultimate Warrior, indem man zum einen die RAW-Episode am Montag aus Birmingham zu einer Tribute-Show für ihn umwandelt. Was wir genau von dieser Show erwarten können, ist noch nicht bekanntgegeben worden.

Zudem wird auf dem WWE Network am Mittwoch eine weitere Show mit dem Titel "Warrior: The Ultimate Legend" für ihn ausgestrahlt.

Versteht mich nicht falsch, aber das erste, was ich mir hier gedacht habe war: "Warum?". Ich meine es sind in den letzten Jahren ja leider so einige große Namen von uns gegangen...warum entscheidet sich die WWE für den Warrior...AUSGERECHNET für den Warrior zu eine Tribute Show zu machen und nicht für z.B. einen Paul Bearer?

Das WWE Network wird da ein großer Grund sein. Da kann man eben gerne mal machen was man will und haut zb mehrere Shows raus die sich nur um den warrior handeln.

Und vorallem weil eben letztes Wochenende erst Hall of Fame/Wrestlemania/Raw mit ihm war.

Wie TMZ berichtet, soll The Ultimate Warrior laut Autopsie-Bericht, am vergangenen Dienstag im Alter von 54 Jahren an einer massiven Herzattacke verstorben sein. Zudem soll der Warrior an einer Herzkrankheit gelitten haben.

- WWE's website posted the following letter from The Ultimate Warrior's wife Dana this morning:

Dearest Warriors,

It is with an absolutely broken heart I reach out to you. Since the passing of my husband, I have been fortunate enough to insulate my sweet girls and myself from the outside world. In this bubble we have grieved and continue to do so. For a week, I did not allow any television or media to seep through our cocoon. I was told, though, of the outpouring of love for my beloved husband and support for, as he always called us, his Warrior Girls. I can only say thank you.

On Sunday night, I was told WWE would pay tribute to Warrior and so I set the DVR planning to watch it when we were ready. As the hour neared, I broke resolve and turned on every TV in the house to full blast and snuggled our daughters close to me on the couch, unsure what we would see. As the scene unfolded with that amazing roster of talent gathered donning Ultimate Warrior shirts and even his face paint, we cheered and sobbed simultaneously. To everyone who stood there, thank you. My girls will remember your bowed heads for the rest of their lives. You are not just Superstars; you are super people.

I cannot put words to what that video tribute meant. We watched it multiple times and, this morning, it was how I started my day; mornings are the hardest for me. I will treasure that song and those images more than anything I own. Vindication. ULTIMATE PERFECTION.

I was told it was reported WWE was "there" for us. "There" is the understatement of a lifetime. They were a warm blanket to us three and we were quickly absorbed into their family. Words are cheap; promises are forever. This family is one I'm honored to be a member of and will gladly be the warm blanket to any of them who need me next.

My husband's speech had so many highlights for me as I sat proudly in the audience looking on at his moment ... I most loved his request for the Hall of Fame to include the, as he called them, "true Superstars," those behind-the-scenes people who make the machine run. See, I'm the person who puts up the ring in our house. I'm the background person who makes things happen seamlessly. I am surrounded by performers in my husband and children, so I felt a kinship with all the people he wanted to shine a spotlight upon who make WWE work. He loved you all, and knew that each of you made his run there possible. Thank you!

To all the ULTIMATE WARRIOR fans: THANK YOU!! He told me when he shook the ropes it was him gathering strength from each of you. Warrior respected you and loved you as do the girls and I. I will reach out to the ropes for your strength to sustain me in the sad days that the girls and I face. UNWAVERING is what you've been. GRATEFUL is what we are.

The Undertaker and I have a lot more in common than you might think. You see, I had a bit of a streak of my own going for the last 20 years. Yes, Warrior and I would have matches of our own ... He would yell, I would cry, he would submit, I would win - always. My quivering chin and "pooched" lip was always more powerful than any clothesline or gorilla press slam. He'd laugh and shake his head and say,"you win, Pooch," but really we both did.

My streak was broken April 8, 2014 when he collapsed. I fought and screamed and cried for him not to leave me, but I wasn't to win this round. Heaven won and I lost, but I had the ULTIMATE love for 20 years and my children learned to be Warriors from THE ULTIMATE DAD. I wouldn't trade a moment of the life we shared, good or bad, for anything on God's green earth. He is the love of my life and gave me the gift of our beautiful, sweet, amazing girls. He was loyal and kind and strong and brave. He taught me to live by his creed,"Live Strong, Act Bold, Be Brave. Nothing's too hard to do, ALWAYS BELIEVE," and with that creed I will carry on and make him proud.

Streaks are broken but legends live forever.

Always Believe,

Dana A. Warrior

Wow, der Warrior fiel zwar knapp nicht in meine Zeit, aber ich denke, er lebte, was er verkörperte. Und dieser Brief seiner Frau hat größte Hochachtung verdient. Hoffe dass sie und ihre Töchter das schnell überwinden..

The Ultimate Legend documentary that WWE Network aired on The Ultimate Warrior last night is a must see. It features new footage of Sting talking about his history with Warrior and how Warrior was. It also had footage of Vince McMahon talking about Warrior and getting emotional. Triple H talked about getting the news from his assistant and knowing it would be a tough conversation with Vince because of what Warrior meant to him.

Vince says it was surreal to hear Warrior had passed and he didn't want to believe it. Vince said the timing of it was as if it was destined to happen that way. Sting also spoke about Warrior's death, what he said on RAW the night before and called it prophetic. Vince said Warrior wasn't one for sympathy and would want people to celebrate his life. The documentary is currently archived for viewing on the Network.

Die neue knapp einstündige Doku ist wirklich richtig klasse. Kann man nur empfehlen. Schön auch noch mal viele neue Sachen hinter den Kulissen vom Wrestlemania Wochenende zu sehen.

If you haven't seen it yet or heard from other fans, the Ultimate Legend documentary about The Ultimate Warrior on the WWE Network is a must see. People within WWE have been raving about the special and there's a push to try and get it on national TV, perhaps the USA Network. People are saying they can't believe something so good was produced in such a short turnaround time.
