Lovely one of my all time favorite wrestlers passes away the day after my birthday. I'm still in shock.
As a kid he was my 2nd favorite wrestler after Sting.
But, thankfully he was able to get his moment in the sun before passing away.

He had just flown in from NO so I wonder if it might have been a blood clot?

I'm so devastated right now.
R.I.P. Warrior.

At least it wasn't premotivated...
My condolences to his family, but I will say that this kind of death is going to add to his Warrior mysticism.
I'm glad he got to tell his story at the HoF as well as explain his side of things. I never saw Warrior as bitter, just a guy who lashed out at those who lashed at him.
I hope his family retains his likeness for all the merch that WWE will be doing. His daughters deserve it.

If this health speculation turns out to be true, it'd be amazing to think that he may have accepted this just because he knew he didn't have much time left. My mom was a nurse for 30 years. She spoke often of people "waiting to die". You know, their children haven't seen them yet or such. Once they've seen everyone they need to, and taken care of loose ends, they let go. Warrior got a new DVD, the HOF, final Mania and Raw appearances and got to say his piece on his career and how the DVD hurt him. Perhaps he knew..

He had just flown in from NO so I wonder if it might have been a blood clot? Good point. Flying has a tendency to make thrombi that can cause an embolism, especially if his cardiac or pulmonary vessels were already atherosclerotically occluded. It could very well be an all-of-the-above sort of thing. Still, the parallels with Eddie are getting increasingly uncomfortable.

Wonder how they broke the news to everyone at the Smack down tapings.

He had just flown in from NO so I wonder if it might have been a blood clot? Honestly, that really does make a lot of sense. Just a sad cocktail of an overworked heart, an emotional weekend and flying home.

Since we have some potential info now from TMZ about collapsing outside a hotel, it's probably fair to speculate at least a little. It's someone has a heart attack risk (and Warrior was the right age, and probably had at least a few high-risk factors), a weekend like that could be enough to push one over the edge. Travel, late nights, less sleep, a lot of excitement, big meals, etc.

Watch Raw. Watch how he barely shook the ropes and seemed tired. Watch the cameras cut to the audience after a glimpse of him blowing up from it. Imagine the pressure of going into this Hall of Fame, giving that speech, coming back to Raw, appearing at Wrestlemania...
He probably had a heart condition, and being an already intense human being who had these new layers of pressure this past week, something probably got triggered. It's not as difficult to believe as it once seemed if you think of it like that.

This is just too hard to take in.

Warrior himself has admitted he was a big-time steroid user back in the day, probably had a lot to do with the toll on his heart.

It was an amazing weekend, I'm glad he made amends with WWE and Vince and had no emotional baggage to follow him. My coldolences go out to his two daughters and his wife.

Damn. At least he made his peace with everyone I guess. Cool he also got one last chance to step in the ring on Raw.
RIP Warrior.

His new DVD just took on a whole new meaning. 100 percent of the proceeds should go into a trust fund for his daughters.

I just can't help but wonder... did he know? Of course, now that he's gone, everyone's going to speculate. But I even thought last night, just watching him walk to the ring, and then doing the rope shake and the Warrior voice... when he paused to growl at one point, it really sounded like he was breathing hard. And like I said before, I thought he looked really old...
Although in a morbid way, it's comforting to know that his death apparently wasn't a suicide or murder. But still, just... damn.

I just realized that because Punk walked out, he never had the chance to meet Warrior
