@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 Bundy is very much alive.

I literally just shot up a few minutes ago to check the forum and found this out.
I...really don't have the words. Rest in Peace.

I'm only 20 so I never saw him when he was in his prime, and only from what the WWE told me, but God Damn I can't believe he's gone. I don't know what happened, but at least he made amends with his fans. Rest in peace Jim, may you rest forever.

I kind of hope we see at least a few face paint guys come up in homage of warrior. Not just warrior but there has been a severe lack of face paint.

Rumor from TMZ is that Warrior collapsed as he was leaving his hotel.

Rewatching the raw promo it does have a sense of finality to it, And he did seem rather weak, he was limping somewhat and he couldn't shake the rope (he tried though).
Damn. My childhood is taking a beating this week

Cena & Bryan were huge fans of his. I'm kinda curious as to how they'll pay tribute to him.

Man, Bryan's last tweet. There's so much of the generic "RIP" crap in that link, but then you get to Bryan's and he finishes with "He was so nice to me". I teared up.

I have never been so saddened over the death of someone that I didn't know. He was before my time and I've never really seen any of his matches, but for some reason this has effected me in a very strange way.
Wow....

Rumor from TMZ is that Warrior collapsed as he was leaving his hotel. Still pure speculation, but my thinking? The toll of exertion over the weekend (the travel there, tons of photo-op/promotional work, interviews, meetings, the actual appearances and then a flight back home) was it. Everyone keeps saying he was in fine health just last night. We don't know that. Look at that twitter picture from this morning. He's beet red. He may very well have known this was on its way soon at some point - possibly previous, undisclosed incidents; medical check-ups, whatever else would have clued him in that time was no longer on his side - but right now, we don't know. Speculation still, but maybe that's why he buried the hatchet. He knew he wasn't in good health anymore and wanted to set up something for his family. Maybe it was that last plane ride that did it. Pressurized cabins aren't kind on ailing body systems. Even factoring in the locations - going from Louisiana to lower-oxygen, drier Arizona was a shock to his system. Maybe it was all part of it.

I don't know if they ever did but I wish him and Sting would've been able to bury the hatchet.

I'm still in denial over this. After all these years we see him again and we see some reconciliation and then closure, life just isn't fair.

This came out of absolutely nowhere, and I guess goes to show that there are no guarantees of tomorrow.
Rest in Peace Warrior, and may you shake the very foundations of the afterlife with your destructicity.
