From Fox Sports:

According to WWE, The Ultimate Warrior was “one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever,” joined the organization in 1987 and three years later was world champion, defeating Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI at SkyDome in Toronto. The match, billed as the “Ultimate Challenge,” lived up to the billing in the eyes of most, a common staple in lists of greatest wrestling matches of all time.

Hellwig and WWE had a contentious relationship after he left the company in 1996, battling one another in lawuits over ownership of The Ultimate Warrior copyright. WWE released a controversial DVD in 2005 titled “The Self-Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior,” which featured many wrestlers giving disparaging remarks about Warrior. That DVD led to yet another lawsuit.

His wrestling career over, the man who began his career as a bodybuilder had a brief turn as a motivational speaker.

Along with his enshirnement into the Hall of Fame and return to the ring in “Raw,” The Ultimate Warrior character is to be included in the WWE 2K14 video game, another sign of his reconciliation with WWE.

Update # 2 – Ultimate Warrior: He Looked Very Sick and In Pain

Ultimate Warrior looked like he was on the verge of a medical catastrophe all weekend — sweaty and stressed, like he was about to “burst at the seams” …  eyewitnesses tell TMZ.

According to sources who were with Warrior this past weekend, the WWE legend looked like he was in constant pain … sweaty and looked very uncomfortable, like he was choking on his tie. It was apparent to everyone … something was seriously off.

Another warning sign — when Warrior did his signature rope shake after his big speech on Monday Night Raw, he looked weak … and people around him noticed.

One eyewitness put it this way … “We all felt like he looked like he was going to blow a gasket. It was pretty easy to see.”

It makes Warrior’s speech on Monday Night Raw even more ominous … “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat.  His lungs breathe a final breath.”  24 hours later he was dead.
