Apparently you can no longer view the HoF on the Network, only the preshow. Not sure the meaning/significance behind that, if there is any. Lot of people are rewatching his parts to see if there were signs. Could have crashed it or enough of a threat to crash it to have it taken down temporarily.

Not to mention they aren't even showing his face on the front page or in the .com article itself...this is concerning. EDIT: NVM, they added his picture to the article. The THUMBNAIL HERE on the front page also implies a rush job.

The more time that passes and the more time that this has to sink in, the harder this is becoming. What started as shock is now turning into sorrow.
His words on Monday mean so much more now. I'm only a young fan at 22, not quite as much exposure of Warrior as others, but I'm in bits. I can only imagine what the fans of whom he was so revered by are feeling. More-so, my heart goes out to the Warrior family. I can't begin to imagine how they're feeling, nor do I ever want to have to. The world will never forget the legend that is the Ultimate Warrior, and the man behind such an iconic character.

Honestly, I know I'm going to get shit on for saying this. But what a unique and strange way to go for one of the most unique and strange characters this business has ever seen, in and out of the ring.

He wore a black robe... there's symbolism. He didn't put on the make up, he put on a mask, that he then removed...

This is unbelievable. Just three days after his HoF induction, and day after his Raw appearance.. Never was a huge fan of his wrestling, but his promos and energy was pure awesome. this came out of nowhere, and i wish this wasn't true.
Rest in peace Warrior!

Posting this here because it really makes you think that maybe he had a feeling, and he in many ways eulogized the warrior character on Monday Christ, watching this is so bittersweet. Like it's depressing as hell, but at the same time it's like "I don't think many people are going to get a goodbye from this earth as perfect as that." Let's call this promo more than a little ominous at the moment and leave it at that.

Very strange that after he finally makes peace with WWE and is inducted into the HoF and returns to RAW that he should die the next day. Also strange that I was just thinking while laying in bed about wrestling myths that fans believe such as Warrior dying and being replaced with a look alike or there having been more than one Kane. I couldn't sleep so I got up and watched the latest Countdown episode only to then see this post.

Another door slammed on my childhood. RIP Ultimate Warrior.

His face in paint is clearly seem on the front page and the picture within is from the HoF.

At the very least he had his three final moments, unlike Macho. At least he made amends with the company, and that's definitely a good thing.

RIP Warrior. You were way too young, and things were just getting fun again.

Jesus, this is surreal. He seemed fine on Raw. Either way my thoughts are with his family.

Anyone know if they buried the hatchet? If so, it's a little strange that both Savage and Warrior would die shortly after putting aside bad blood with Hogan.

I'd hope the HOF is just down for traffic rather than them taking it down. As long as everything doesn't go downhill, I can't think of a better tribute than allowing people to watch the speech he made, including addressing his wife and hugging his girls.

All I can say about this is just WHAT.
I can't say another word, seeing someone as healthy and as fine and dandy as Warrior go through the HoF and RAW and then all of a sudden a click of the fingers and them BAM gone is just so so sad....
I can't believe this one bit...

Wade Keller @thewadekeller 34s TMZ reports that Warrior collapsed Tues @ 5:50 while walking to his car at an Arizona hotel and was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

This may seem weird to say but I am happy for the Warrior. I met him a few years ago and he was a genuinely nice guy. You could tell that he really missed being in the spotlight and you could tell that the smear dvd really didn't sit well with him and hurt him.
I'm happy he was able to go out on top, to go out happy and have that one last great moment in front of the fans. At the end of the day a true legend has passed on. Unlike so many others, he gave us one last great ride. Thank you Warrior for the last few days, thanks for your career and thank you for showing us that sometimes to succeed you have to go against the grain.
This death has rocked me like few have.
