It took me a minute to figure out what "UW" meant. I really feel bad for his wife and kids to lose their husband and Dad so suddenly like that. |

Was pretty gutted as this was my all time favourite wrestler. However I believe the date is April 8th?
It bothered me that Warrior left his house for the biggest night of his career, never to return home. It was saddening to learn his wife never unpacked his suitcases
He was a controversial figure but many accounts over Wrestlemania weekend show he patched up beefs (Hogan, Robert's, Nash), and others like Ted Dibiase, who didn't meet him expressed regret in having not done so. There are questions that he never reached out to people like Bobby Heenan. Maybe it was planned but his sudden death stopped it?
It's like he came home (WWE) to die.

I never liked Warrior, but I got caught up in his "redemption" and Hall of Fame weekend, was actually wanting to embrace the guy for the first time ... then in the midst of having all these good feelings for the guy, I see the news that he's dead. Not since the night that Owen died have I felt the rug so ripped out from under me.

Dude basically gave his own eulogy. Unbelievable timing on that. I feel like he probably knew that he didn’t have much time left. Dude was blown up giving his final speech.

You guys pretty much summed it all up already. It was a powerful moment, his HOF induction, coming home and the Raw speech and then powerfully sad to find out he passed. I think he was a guy who truly believed so much in his character and in his fan base of the character that he probably did know his end was coming and he had to give a final goodbye publicly.
Some good news coming out of the five year anniversary of that Hall of Fame, is that it marks a 5 year period of Jake Roberts and Scott Hall being in the good graces of WWE due to their sobriety. And I imagine five years is the longest amount of time each had remained sober in probably 20+ years for each. You can see in their twitter posts and in their interviews and fan fest interactions (especially Jake) just how much better they are doing.

Looking at his final speech on Raw, you wonder if he knew that his time was up
