World Wrestling Entertainment star, James Hellwig, popularly known as Ultimate Warrior on Tuesday passed on at the age of 54.
It was reported that the wrestler while on a walk with his wife fell and died, he is survived by his wife Dana and two daughters, Indiana and Mattigan.
Before his death, during his final public appearance – his first on WWE Monday Night Raw since 1996 – the wrestler spoke about his legacy. “No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own,” he told the audience.
“Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something that’s larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalised by the storytellers – by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever”.
Family and friends have sent condolence messages. “We are all so sad that the Ultimate Warrior has passed away,” WWE chairman, Vince McMahon, tweeted. “Our heart is with his wife Dana and his two daughters.”
Stephanie McMahon, WWE’s chief brand officer, shared her dad’s sentiments, writing: “Your strength of character is to be admired. There will never be anyone like you. Your spirit lives on in your family.”
“We are grateful just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was 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,” the organisation said in a statement.
Ultimate warrior has wrestled with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, British Buddog, Sean Micheal, Hitman, The Rock and Kamala amongst others. He will surely be missed by the WWE
