Pro Wrestling Legend Ultimate Warrior Dies At 54

The Ultimate Warrior, a wrestler who just days ago was inducted into the WWE hall of fame, has died at the age of 54.

On Monday, he addressed his screaming fans from the ring at an event.

"No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own," he said. "Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath."


A man's spirit is immortalized by the memory of the people who honour him, he said.

"You, you, you," he said, pointing at people in the audience. "You are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior."

He began his WWE career in 1987, and went on to defeat Hulk Hogan to become a WWE champion at WrestleMania VI in Toronto. It was his only championship, which he successfully defended for nine months.

Warrior posed for some pics at the airport in New Orleans around 6am this morning.  We're told he was in great spirits and offered to take photos with any fan who approached him.

Rest In Peace Warrior!
