It is not. Don't ever let anyone tell you your feelings aren't valid. If you're sad, you're sad. I agree. I cried my eyes out when Christopher Reeve died. He was Superman in my childhood memories, and Warrior is the Ultimate Warrior in many of our childhood memories. It hurts to lose people who brought you joy during the most innocent and care-free time of your life. Well put about how it hurts to lose someone from your childhood. I was gutted when Savage died. Hogan, Savage, Warrior and Undertaker were so big to me as a child and half of those guys are already gone.

I'm surprised at how much coverage this is getting. It's everywhere on Facebook and the local news stations are having stories on this. This just shows how many lives the Warrior touched when he was here.

RIP Warrior. Sadly all three are now gone... Sadly, all 4 involved in that amazing Mania match (one of my top 5 Mania matches) are no longer with us. But they're putting on another classic up there.

I still can't believe this. He seemed perfectly healthy and happy at the Hall of Fame, as well as on Raw too, I really truly hope this is just a sick joke because seriously how eerie is it that he accepted his HOF, showed up on Raw to shake the ropes on last time, and then pass away.

I just can't stress the timing of this..
Purely from a character standpoint...that's the most glorious way to ride off into the sunset.
Hell, he didn't just ride off...he rode off on the rocketship full of fuel.
A true warrior until the end...

I'm in shock. I spent the whole of Mania weekend seeing the man welcomed back, more or less at peace and ready to to contribute. Now.... just wow. I have no words.
And, I really hate to say this, but there is a tiny part of me in the back of my head that is so relieved the name I saw this evening was Jim Hellwig and not Mark Callaway.

@mrslabbulkhead: Every person who had a WWF Championship match with Hogan at a WM is dead except (ironically) Sgt Slaughter
Don't know how true this is

It was a nice gesture on his part, considering all the stuff I guess that happened between them.

Wow, I really wish I had just went to bed without checking the Internet. It's going to be hard to sleep now. What awful, awful, awful news. I started watching wrestling in early 1990. Wrestlemania 6 will always hold a special place in my heart. As a little Hulkamaniac I resented the Warrior at first for beating my hero, but I warmed up to him quick enough (my Ultimate Warrior wrestling buddy was a prized possession). Hogan vs Warrior will always be my favorite match of all time. One of my favorite moments in wrestling was when Warrior returned at Wrestlemania 8 to save Hogan. I'll never forget the feeling when that music hit.
We can take solace in the fact that, if Warrior had to die, it happened after a wonderful weekend where he mended fences and soaked in the adulation of his many fans. He got to bid farewell to us in a way that only he could do. May God bless his beautiful wife and daughters and somehow get them through this difficult time. Rest in peace, Warrior. Like the intro to Wrestlemania 6, your star is shining brightly in the heavens tonight.

Only in pro wrestling does a story like this happen. I still have burns from the Ultimate Warrior face-paint I incorrectly applied when I was 15. I have a permanent warrior pattern on my face. Saturday, Sunday and especially the full on warrior promo last night were highlights. Seriously WTF.

Second only to Savage, it was characters like Warrior that pulled me into the WWF as a child and made me fall in love with a very different kind of wrestling than what my family watched. Like Savage, it was his larger than life, vibrant persona that made me cheer for him and made me run around my parents' living room & try to shake the couches like he did the ropes while watching him beat up the heel of the month. I remember one of my earliest memories of the WWF is the Hogan & Warrior match, where I lost my mind seeing Warrior topple Hogan.
It's just...I don't know...
RIP.
