Iconic Wrestler Dies at 54 - Angel Pineda 1st Pd.

Last week was a tragic week in the wrestling business. James Hellwig, who is famous for his iconic persona The Ultimate Warrior, died last week at the age of 54. Hellwig recently was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame on April 5th, 2014 and appeared on TV one last time April 7th (the night before his death). Hellwig died due to a sudden heart attack while he was approaching his car at a hotel in Arizona. Those involved with the WWE and fans around the world were shocked once the news hit the web.

ANALYSIS: I've heard of this guy ever since I was a kid, and he was an amazing wrestler for his time. It's creepy that I just saw him on TV the night before he died. The other creepy thing was that he was sweating a whole lot during his amazing promo and had a hard time breathing at spots. Warrior also talked about how the spirit of someone that dies will live on forever into immortality. It's crazy to think he said all of that right before he died. Such an amazing wrestler and it saddens me to see another part of my childhood go away. R.I.P. legend.
