The timing makes me uncomfortable, I really hope it wasn't suicide that would be an even bigger shame. He leaves a wife and two children.

I'm probably more uncomfortable than you. I was just there in New Orleans. I was there at the HOF watching him give his speech and looking so happy that he patched things up with the WWE. I watched him come out to a standing ovation on Sunday. Then he was on Raw, I just don't want to believe it.

 

I took a picture of him and his little girls on stage before he gave the speech and I'm at a loss of words on why now, why make them have to grow up without a dad. 

[BloodRaven]

Details coming out now, apparently he collpased walking to his car in an Arizona hotel. Natural causes.

[sliceanddic3]

Thats awful. I mean we just saw him last night, he was looking great. This is part of his speech on Raw:

“No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every mans heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breath their final breath, and if what that man did with his life makes the blood pulse into the body of others and makes them believe deeper, in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalize by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever!” "The spirit of the Ultimate Warrior will live forever!"

I never got to see him wrestle, but I know he was one of my dads favorites. RIP Warrior.

The Ultimate Warrior has passed away aged 54.

 

NO HE DIDN'T!!!

 

Are you for real with this news?  What?  I just saw him the other day being inducted to the HOF.  Unbelievable!!!  Something's not right with this.

So very sad to hear about The Ultimate Warrior's sudden and tragic passing... he looked great on Sunday! Shocked.

[George70]

I am stunned by the passing of the Ultimate Warrior.  I am truly at a loss for words.  I just don't know what to say.

[Purple Nurple]

So many hilarious gifs. He will live in infinite loopdom forever.

[Militant X 1]

I saw the news today!  Unbelievable!

The media just can't resist bashing wrestling can they. They live in this fantasy world that wrestling is still about steroids and blame everything on steroids when a wrestler dies. I don't want to even give Nancy Grace time after what she said tonight but damn it. If they take a second to realize what wrestling has become, then just maybe they can see the truth. 

 

This is why Vince calls it Sports Entertainment, he wants to get away from that monkier "Pro Wrestling" for this reason.

[Purple Nurple]

There's a looooong list of wrestlers who have died before their time.

[Purple Punishment]

I remember being just a little kid and watching the Survivor Series when The Undertaker was accompanied by Brother Love as part of the Million Dollar Mans team. He hit KoKo B. Ware with a rope stunner and put him out in less than 10 seconds. He was INDESTRUCTIBLE.

I would watch the Survivor Series again if they used that format. All winners from good guys teams take on all winners from bad guys teams. It's so mixed now that there would have to be color coded teams

My favorite match of all time now that I think about it was the WM12 Iron Man match! Brett and Shawn put on one hell of a show! That match was so well choreographed with the last seconds winding down as Shawn was in the Sharpshooter. The Goldust Roddy Piper match with OJ Simpson footage made that all hilarious. Think it was called the Hollywood Backlot Brawl?

The Ultimate Warrior's cause of death was a "massive" heart attack. 

 

Tonight, RAW will be a tribute to the Ultimate Warrior even though from what I have seen storylines from last week will continue. I'm guessing they will show random clips during Raw in honor of him.

Raw is coming to STL Monday, I really want to go.. Is it worth it paying to see it live?

The last live WWE event I went to was when King Booker was going up against Rey Mysterio at The Great American Bash... I had an OK time, it was more for the kids.

I'm going to have to agree, Bret & Shawn's Iron Man Match, by far the best match in WWE history.  Everything, from the build-up, to the match, to the aftermath, to the conclusion over a decade later.  I really miss those days.  If wrestling was like the 90s, I'd still be watching it.

[JO_75]

Yes. I would say going to an WWE event live is well worth it. Coming from someone who just went to his first Wrestlemania, if you do choose an event to go, Wrestlemania would be the one WWE event to see live. Raw and SD are cool to go to as well.

I like Daniel Bryan, The Shield and plenty of the young talent today but I too miss the 90's. It was TV-14, I was just a kid watching it when I got hooked. That's why as an adult I don't understand why they focus on the PG rating so much when there are probably many kids who are now adults who watched the Attitude Era. 

 

It's also why the WWE Network(basically the WWE version of Netflix) is well worth the $9.99 a month price. You get to relive Bret & Shawn's Iron Man Match, and any other match that you loved. 

[George70]

I understand that legendary announcer Lee marshall, who worked in the AWA and also WCW, has passed away.  Please confirm.

[Nightman]

Lee was also the voice of Tony "The Tiger" in those Frosted Flakes ads.

He was also on David McLaine's Women of Wresting WOW shows.

Used to be a big AWA fan, first watched the WWF, but the old school organizations, like this one and the NWA got me hooked.

[JO_75]

Anyone else can't stop watching Bray Wyatt's brilliant promo from Monday Night? Pure genius to have the little kids singing with him. For once, Cena was not just serious but did a good sell job of what he saw and he just couldn't believe Wyatt had the kids singing under his command. 

 

Bray Wyatt needs to be challenging Bryan for the title at Summer Slam, end of story. I have to admit, would love to see Bray beat Cena on Sunday and then they carry him away not to be seen for months. Then at Summerslam, as Bryan beats Bray and the Wyatt Family begin a beatdown here comes Cena to save the day but instead he gives a AA to Bryan and turns heel.

 

Only in my dreams I guess.

Cena will never turn heel. He sells too much merch and does like 10 make a wish appearances a day. But yeah a Wyatt/Bryan match needs to happen while Bryan is still champ. Just think of the potential...

Also, I swear my exs sister was one of the girls in Wyatts choir.

[Purple Punishment]

Does the WWE network allow you to watch any match ever televised?

I always loved the Rick Rude, Roddy Piper cage match where the Ravishing One got his face split wide open

[Purple Punishment]

Well look I found it!

Take note of the old steel cage. Looks so weird now

YES! YES! YES!

 

WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, WCCW pretty much any match you want. PPV, Raw or SD. They will be adding WCW Nitro episodes to the Network soon which I have been waiting for like crazy. You can watch all 30 Manias, you can watch every Royal Rumble from the beginning. Pretty much, a wrestling fan's dream.

 

Even their reality show Legends House isn't that bad, quite honestly it's fun to watch. 

[Militant X 1]

Just watched RAW and loved watching Evolution beat the hell out of The Shield!  But, The Shield are growing on me every week.  lol!

[sliceanddic3]

Has The Shield ever put on a bad match? All 3 are potential HOF if WWE doesn't book them poorly. Great match vs Evolution.

[Militant X 1]

The Shield are standing tall!!!!

[AwakenTheDemon]

Haha, it's been a long time, and I'm glad to see this brain child of mine still going.

[Nightman]

Going to be in Eldersburg on Saturday night at the Big Time Wrestling-Adrenaline Championship Wrestling card.  Jake the Snake will be in a 6 man tag.  One contest will have the Women's title and the Light Heavyweight best on the line in a mixed tag team match.  The main event is Tommy Dreamer against Shane "The Franchise" Douglas in an extreme rules contest.  There are 3 indy groups putting on cards monthly in Maryland.  The Eastern Wrestling Alliance, Maryland Championship Wrestling and ACW.    Lita when she was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame mentioned MCW where she once wrestled.

[JO_75]

Yet somehow they stood tall again! 2-0 against Evolution. I didn't think Shield would win at ER and I was surprised. Thought for sure Evolution would win but again Shield won. So Since Wrestlemania, Triple H not only buried himself but his friends as well since Mania. Crazy.

 

Well that figures Cena would win but come on they needed to have Bray built up for a future wwe title match. He deserves it.
