It's insane to think that after decades of insane promos that made no sense that his very last promo is so prophetic.

Already mentioned but please, let's keep Benoit out of this. No problems with what's been said so far but let's keep him out of this.

Honestly, I think speculation of any kind about him doing this to himself is not the right thing to say right now. A lot of us have gone through the experience of seeing someone who appeared normal and then died right after. Those things do happen and it happens a lot, so speculating it self inflicted and creating theories just seems wrong to me.
Life is fragile and ends that quickly, and that's so depressing.

It's really eerie considering what he said on Raw. It's as if he got his message out. Exactly. It feels like him getting his chance to say goodbye, like he had a feeling something was going to happen

One hour, I find out that my family's beloved cat died. The next, I find out about Warrior. The latter is actually the bigger shock. At least we knew that the cat had terminal cancer. Warrior was just on TV last night and had kept himself in great shape.
This is one of the most shocking "wrestling deaths" I've seen since becoming a fan. Not like Benoit or Guerrero, but it's up there. RIP Ultimate Warrior.

I was going to wait until I read confirmation from another source, because the first websites that were posting the news were all referring to the WWE post...
I'm just stunned. I wasn't a fan but it's still a gut-punch.
Rest in peace, Warrior.

Mainstream media outlets are running with it. Damn, he was only 54

I really don't know what to say about this.
I have two Warrior memories to share right now:
1) Back when I was 11 or 12, the first WWE Jakks Pacific figures came out. I got the first series of figures for Christmas that year and my very first World Championship match was Shawn Michaels vs. The Ultimate Warrior.
2) Seeing Warrior's WCW debut. Say what you will about the segment, but for me, it's significant. I was at my Nana's house that night, watching Raw and Nitro with my uncle, and that was one of the last times we did that before he had his strokes. I still remember it vividly and just how excited we both were...
RIP Warrior.

Its selfish to think about one's own entertainment memories when two little girls have lost their father I know, but I keep thinking back to Wrestlemania VII.
They're all gone. Liz, Sherri, Savage, and now Warrior.
God damn.

I'm really confused and shocked right now. He was JUST on RAW last night. I thought after his reconciliation with WWE that we could look forward to seeing him for years to come.
RIP Warrior.

Jesus, looking at last night now, it really did feel like something might have been wrong with him. It's hard to say without knowing what he looked like a month ago. He looked old and haggard of course, but plenty of 54-year old guys that aren't on the verge of death look a lot worse. It's a natural kind of morbid curiosity (so I'm not going to feel guilty about it), but if you look at his wikipedia page photo, he does look a lot better than he did last night. I have no idea how long ago that was taken though.

I'm seriously at a loss for words. He seemed like he was in such great shape and was so happy.
