Reading on the Torch that his wife was with him when he collapsed. Watching the person you love more than anyone on Earth slowly die, and not being able to do anything about it, has to be one of the saddest and & most horrifying things a person can experience. I just hope the kids weren't nearby, to be honest.

I just realized that because Punk walked out, he never had the chance to meet Warrior He's a millionaire that gets to bang AJ Lee. I think he'll live. Let's keep this about Warrior.

I am utterly floored right now. This can't be real. This is a hell of a week for the WWE.

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. The entire thing feels strangely prophetic. I think that people do have a sense of when they're going to pass and I agree with what you said here. I don't talk about my personal life on here at all, but recently my father passed away. He was sick for a # of years and had lots of problems so it wasn't a stunning shock. The week before he passed, he started calling old friends that he hadn't spoken to in years and acting strangely (for lack of a better word). One of those friends was also in a similar predicament, sick and not getting any better. A few days later my dad passed away and the very next day that friend of his did. I do think people know on some conscious level that they're at the end or that its coming soon and the appearance last night very well could've been that for Warrior. I have to say this is easily the most stunned I've ever been by a wrestling death. Eerie/prophetic, whatever word you want to use can apply. That being said, I was not a fan of Warrior from virtually any angle. When he debuted, I was a huge WWF fan, but I ended up stop watching altogether not necessarily due to him but I was at a weird age. I started watching again in 1998, while channel surfing late one night while home visiting from school and I caught a re-run of Nitro. It was the episode where Warrior was first hinted at coming to WCW. I was re-hooked completely and I've not stopped watching since. That said, I'm happy that he was inducted and was able to experience that feeling one more time. I don't think he expected it to be as wonderful as it seemed for him and Im glad he got the opportunity to have that. This picture says so much:

I just realized that because Punk walked out, he never had the chance to meet Warrior No, they met. Both have mentioned it on Twitter in the past. Pretty sure they have anyway.

You have no idea. If true, I can relate to what his wife went through. RIP Warrior. Prayers and condolences to his family.

Good lord I feel terrible for his family.

damn it. Another piece of my childhood just died. This is just an unspeakable tragedy, first for the family, and then for us all who loved the man, the character, and the joy and entertainment he brought into our lives
Yea, looking at his final speech...he did seem winded and struggling to move around, but even at 30 he got winded fast. I dunno...I'd guess some kind of heart condition but who knows. He still had an amazing physique. Not like he let himself go.

I don't think that because of money and sex he should be any less sad. Lots of people would have liked to have met him that didn't (heck probably most of the posters in this thread). So why single out Punk? I'll refrain from talking about it further.

Oh my God. I'm frankly stunned. One of my all time favorite Wrestlemania matches was Warrior vs Savage Career match...and now the main players in that whole storyline/match, are all gone. RIP Warrior just frightening. Elizabeth, Sherri...heck even Monsoon.

Nearly 20 years on the outs with WWE, finally patches things up, accepts a Hall of Fame induction on Saturday, appears at the 30th anniversary of Wrestlemania on Sunday, steps into a ring on Raw for the first time in years on Monday to thanks the fans, and dies on Tuesday. Eerily reminds me of how Savage was starting to slowly make amends with the WWE before his death. Not saying it's connected (of course not), but it doesn't make it any less freaky. well I believe Savage did have heart issues that he was aware of and taking medication for it. So yea he may have known. Not sure if Warrior did

Same here, I saw my mom die in front of me and my dad slowly after, it IS the worse thing that can happen to a person, and right now I am legitimately crying....It's stupid I know, but Warrior is one of the few I actually looked up to, and I haven't been impacted like this since MCA from the Beastie Boys died... Just RIP...
