The Ultimate Warrior passed away just two days after being inducted into the WWE hall of fame and in his speech he says things like "until a man breathes his last air and hie heart beats its last beat" One could wonder if he knew something.
He was a good performer and a major draw during his time in wrestling. He was a favorite of mine when I was in high school and followed wrestling. He died yesterday he was just 54.

I grew up a big wrestling fan. I followed WWF, NWA and AWA, My favorites were Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Snuka and the Ultimate Warrior. The Warrior was unique. He was a burst of energy and an exciting badass character. But he had superhuman stamina.
After leaving the WWF he legally changed his name to Warrior so WWF owner Vince McMahon wouldn't be able to block him from using that name.
Hulk Hogan summed it up well when he said that the Warrior was a 'good guy character with a maniacal edge.'
I am surprised he died at 54 though. Why I say that is because in interviews he often said he left the business because performers had to take steroids and other enhancement drugs in order to perform and that the all day everyday regiment was unhealthy. He left the business around age 35 or 36 to pursue a more healthy lifestyle. So I wouldn't have thought that person would die at 54.
