• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (April 8, 2014) – A WWF Legend Passed Away

On this day in 2014, we lost Old School WWF Legend The Ultimate Warrior (Real name: Jim Hellwig) at the age of 54 due to a heart attack caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

The Ultimate Warrior wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation from 1987 till 1991 and then again in 1992 and 1996.

Warrior became a former WWF World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania VI, and is still remembered as one of the biggest draws in professional wrestling history.

In 2014, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Linda McMahon.

“To all the WWE fans across the world that gave me the opportunity to suspend your disbelief, thank you. From the biggest part of my heart thank you for letting me entertain you. Tonight was my story book ending and I wanted to leave you with all I had to give.

I’ll miss this theater of violence more than I can express in words but I am officially retiring from Sports Entertainment. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, I leave in great health, and without a doubt the show will go on. I had a hell of a run. Thank you for the journey ✌?#dreamchaser #wrestlemania35″
