Warrior’s wife taking over inspirational teachings about life??? Seems so…

 

It seems Warrior’s wife who’s she calling herself, Dana A. Warrior, is taking over his online inspirational life teachings. We all know that Warrior was VERY deep into philosophy kind of like Ayn Rand but it’s looking like Warrior just passed the torch to Dana before he passed. Seems that Warrior has been teaching his “life” inspirations to his family and passed it along to them just like he passed this stuff to all of us. It’s looking like Dana will keep in touch with all of us. Look like Warrior taught her a lot and taught her to be strong even through the ups and downs in life. You think Dana will be in a emotional wreck for a while since Warrior passed but apparently not. It appears she stayed strong and happy like Jim Hellwig taught her. Warrior wanted people to be strong, happy and have a successful life and Dana is just keeping that inspiration going. It’s probably her way of getting through this difficult time.

This is pretty amazing stuff… this family.

Warrior really wanted us to believe that life really matters…

From one of Warrior’s older inspirational life videos. Before Warrior died, he really wanted to help people. In his youtube channel, he wanted to teach people that life really matters and it’s really serious. He really wanted us all to make the best of it in life.

He’s part of the reason why I felt I needed to improve my life which is getting worked on. He made me realize that life really is great.

There are goals that I want to achieve in life and I’m working on them. Working on trying to improve my music. Staying committed in bodybuilding. Trying to improve my life by talking more and becoming less shy. Become more outgoing and confident. Trying to meet more women and hoping to get a girlfriend. Gonna get back into job hunting again.

Even though my life isn’t perfect, I just live the best of it and enjoy it by playing my music, doing the bodybuilding, listening to music, watching movies, reading books, etc. Doing the things I like to do.

Warrior just didn’t want people to feel down about themselves and wanted everybody to be happy.

Edit to add: Actually, this video just posted was never uploaded before so this is one of Warrior’s unreleased videos. I’m sure Warrior recorded plenty of videos that didn’t make it to youtube and I’m sure more will be coming.

Warrior’s death led me to do some research on steroid abuse…

If you want some facts that Anabolic steroids can affect the cardiovascular system, check out these links…

I don’t know about you but from what I’m reading, the side effects and dangers are kind of similar of what Warrior was feeling before his death. Before his Hall of Fame appearance, he could have been feeling sick for days and kept it for himself. Could this be why Warrior always had his hair short (’cause of fear of baldness and all that)? Could this be why Warrior had disturbing mood swings and short tempers on his youtube channel??? Is this why the man can be pretty weird sometimes?

Just making observations that’s all.

More on the Ultimate Warrior steroid debate…

Wow. I just watched that Nancy Grace vs. DDP interview that wrestling fans are complaining about. It’s quite interesting to say the least.

Anyway, I am still siding with Nancy that Warrior may have possibly died of steroid abuse. Ya know, I watch the Nancy interview with DDP… and when DDP and that other guy from WWE are making claims that Warrior looked “great” at the Hall of Fame appearance, I know they are pretty much lying as a way to defend Warrior. Other wrestlers and people from the WWE have seen Warrior backstage at the Hall of Fame and the RAW appearance… pretty much all of them said that Warrior wasn’t looking too good at all.

On top of that, Nancy listing all those wrestlers wasn’t really aimed at wrestlers who died of drugs/steroids. She was simply pointing out all the wrestlers who died at such a young age. Yes. Too many wrestlers died so young. It is controversial and it’s understandable why people would debate about it.

DDP claims that they all have had past steroid use and they no longer use ’em but if you watch Warrior’s interview on Hannity in the video below, Warrior just made a public confession on the show that he does use them but Warrior claimed that there is a huge difference between “use” and “abuse” when it comes to steroids. It seems like Warrior was trying to defend himself of his steroid use and he was trying to make it seem like it was okay to use steroids.

The officials claimed the autopsy report showed no signs of drugs or alcohol but they could be saying that just to settle down the steroid debate. Like I said, the Toxicology report still needs to come out. That’s when we will know.

It’s funny how the wrestling industry claims they don’t use steroids anymore when you know that’s full of shit. I bet wrestlers STILL use them to this day.

I think the reason wrestling fans get all upset over the steroid debate ’cause they simply can’t handle the truth. They don’t like hearing the fact that steroids may have possibly killed Warrior.

I’m still saying that Nancy Grace could be exactly right and wish people would stop attacking her. Like I said before, even if someone stopped using steroids… they can affect your health later in life.

If it turns out that the toxicology report shows that he had steroids in his system, expect the steroid debate to blow up in the media even more.

Once again, I hope steroids didn’t kill him at all but there’s a 90% chance that it did. There’s nothing disrespectful of calling out the use of steroids of people. It’s just the truth. It’s a serious problem in the bodybuilding and wrestling industry. Always has been.

DDP’s speaking voice sounds horrible, by the way. Are you sure he’s clean?

Warrior’s cause of death revealed… the autopsy report is out…

The autopsy of the Ultimate Warrior has been released today and it was discovered that Warrior died of cardiovascular disease. He had a heart problem.

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/ultimate-warrior-died-cardiovascular-disease-23322092

Now… this doesn’t necessarily confirm that steroids didn’t cause him to have heart problems. Steroid use CAN cause all kinds of heart problems. We still need to wait for the toxicology report to come out… that’s when they’ll find out if he had any drugs in his system. Whether he was still using steroids or not, past steroid use CAN come back at ya in the future. Steroids can give ya all kinds of health problems. Steroids are extremely dangerous and can kill ya.

I still hope that steroids didn’t kill him, though but still don’t be surprised if steroids was responsible.

Ultimate Warrior Collection DVD review…

Over the weekend, I watched the Ultimate Warrior Collection DVD set. I didn’t watch it all in one day. Friday, I watched Disc 1. Saturday, Disc 2. Sunday, disc 3.

The main reason why Warrior put out this DVD is ’cause like I said before Vince McMahon and others disrespected his legacy and acted like his past wrestling career was nothing special. That is why he never made it in the Hall of Fame until now. He didn’t want to get himself in the Hall of Fame until the wrestling business understood him. Now that they finally get Warrior, it’s the right time to get him in the Hall of Fame and release this DVD.

I would have to say that this is an amazing collection. It made me realize how much I miss the old days of wrestling. The old days of wrestling was amazing stuff. I remember watching most of this stuff as a kid as a lot of this stuff brings back memories. A lot of classic matches, promos and cool stuff on here.

In my opinion, Warrior was the best in the wrestling business. Guys like Hogan, Flair, Savage, etc. may have been great but Warrior had more personality than those guys. Warrior may have had a gimmick but he was a pretty realistic character. He was honest and very “positive”. That’s why this character inspires so many people. Warrior inspires people to be great in life just like him.

Warrior had many other great matches other than his Wrestlemania 6 match with Hulk Hogan. I thought his match with Randy Savage at Wrestlemania VII was one of his best matches too. His feud with Andre the Giant and the Undertaker was great stuff too.

This set is a must own for any wrestling fan, new or old. I was surprised on how honest this DVD was. It seems like this DVD was aimed at the “smart” fans ’cause it seems like that’s how Warrior was talking to on this DVD. When Warrior was introducing each match, you’ll hear him describe the behind the scenes stuff and you’ll hear him say wrestling terms like “heel”, “babyface”, “jobbers”, etc. Those words are smart fan terms. As usual Warrior is brutally honest.

It was a great DVD and I had a blast watching it. Man, I really miss the old days of wrestling. Today’s wrestling is garbage. It’s not the same anymore. I am an old-school guy. I like the 80’s wrestling and the 90’s Attitude Era. Those days were amazing. These days wrestling has turned into a dramatic soap opera for children and I can’t stand it.

What’s next after the Ultimate Warrior’s passing???

While we in the wrestling community still need to know how Warrior died — his autopsy and toxicology reports haven’t came out yet which will be quite a while but what positive things will come next after the Warrior’s passing?

Well, I do know that this coming Monday’s RAW will be a tribute show for Warrior. That’ll be a start. What about Warrior’s funeral? Will his funeral be a public one or a private one? Will Warrior have a private funeral and a public memorial? I’m sure Warrior’s family and WWE will plan a public memorial for Warrior ’cause they know that fans would want to say goodbye to their hero. Will there be a biography book about Warrior? (I’m sure a book is getting planned) A possible biopic movie? I’m sure people will always find ways to keep Warrior’s legacy alive forever. I’m sure people will make more documentaries and things like that.

I’m gonna feel bad for Warrior’s two daughters, though. They’re gonna have to grow up without their father around. Warrior won’t be able to see their two daughters graduate high school, college, get married, etc. Really is too bad.

I just watched Disc 1 of “The Ultimate Warrior Collection” DVD set last night and it was great stuff. A lot of memories. I’ll watch Disc 2 later tonight.

I’m really bummed about his passing.

I think the reason Warrior feuded with other wrestlers in real life ’cause they tried to disrespect his legendary career and Warrior didn’t like that. That’s why he feuded with Hogan and all those guys. Warrior was really passionate about his legacy and took it very seriously. He didn’t like his legacy being disrespected by others and he did whatever he could to defend his legacy. That’s part of the reason why he released the 3 disc DVD set, “The Ultimate Collection”, to show people that his legacy was something special.

Warrior never made a comeback to wrestling ’cause he wanted to keep his past where it is. If he made a full time comeback that would ruin his past legacy. He wanted to keep his legacy special. Most legendary wrestlers keep doing what they do by staying in the wrestling business but not Warrior. He was one of the very few who stayed retired over the years.

I’m looking forward to Monday’s RAW. Shall be a special show.

Sting finally signs WWE contract???

Legendary WCW/TNA superstar, Sting, never worked for WWF/WWE. Wrestling fans was always hoping that he “might” ’cause they wanted him to wrestle a match against the Undertaker for a Wrestlemania which was a dream match that fans always wanted. WWE have been trying to sign Sting for many years but Sting kept saying, “No”.  Look like Vince McMahon was finally successful at signing, Sting.

http://www.wrestlingnewssource.com/news/33991/BREAKING-NEWS-Sting-Officially-Signs-With-WWE/

Of course, this news blew up pretty huge in the wrestling community. Not sure if it’s true or not. I’ll believe it when WWE themselves confirm the news.

Since it may not be possible that Sting will wrestle Undertaker, I can see Sting having a match against John Cena or Triple H at the next Wrestlemania.

If it’s true that Sting finally signed with WWE, that’s pretty cool. It could be just an excuse for him to get into the WWE Hall of Fame and release a 3 disc Sting DVD which would be cool.

I never watched WCW too much but I did watch a lot of Sting on TNA Impact. I think Sting is a great performer and wrestler for his age.

Don’t blame Nancy Grace for her response to Warrior’s death but…

… I disagree with her listing Owen Hart in her list of wrestlers… I thought that was wrong for her to do but she might have the right idea that Warrior “may” have died of steroid use.

http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2014/04/nancy_grace_diamond_dallas_page_ultimate_warrior_steroids.html

Even Bret “The Hitman” Hart said it:

http://www.wrestlingnewssource.com/news/33980/Bret-Hart-Unsure-If-Ultimate-Warrior-Ever-Stopped-Taking/

I am not defending Nancy Grace (I hate her like everyone else) but if she wasn’t gonna accuse Warrior of using steroids then who wouldn’t? Somebody else would have. Professional wrestling have been a huge target for steroid use for many years. I mean, christ, look at Warrior’s physique. It really can’t be a natural physique. So don’t be surprised that Warrior’s death was because of his past steroid use or if he was still using ’em.

You can’t blame people for thinking that wrestlers die of steroids ’cause it’s been a huge problem for years in the industry. Steroids have been a huge problem in other sports as well. Guys have used them in baseball, NFL, boxing, UFC, etc. Movie stars have even used them for the movies (yes, I know Sly and Arnie have used ’em too).

I hope that Warrior’s death wasn’t because of steroid use so lets hope that it isn’t. You can’t blame people for thinking it is after all wrestler deaths over the years.

We’ll wait for the toxicology and autopsy reports to come out. We hope to get answers of Warrior’s death then.

Look like Warrior buried the hatchet with Hulk Hogan after all!!!

10246783_10152518991625116_5587002461688917299_n

Here is Hulk Hogan and Warrior backstage with Pat Patterson from RAW last Monday night where Warrior made his final RAW appearance. So Warrior doing all these things… burying the hatchet with all the wrestlers he feuded with in real life, being inducted in the Hall of Fame, releasing a DVD, appearing at WM-30/RAW, etc. I find it incredible how he was able to do all of this despite being really sick. I mean, if someone was really sick they would stay home and rest but with Warrior he continued to work his career anyway. Much respect. I guess Warrior wanted to make everyone happy before he passed and that’s exactly what he did.  He didn’t do all of that for himself. He did it for his fans and for the fellow wrestling community who respected him.

Speaking of Warrior, I had to go to Kmart in Greenwich this morning to see if they had any copies of Warrior’s DVD set. They had one copy left so I picked it up today. They had it on sale so the 3 disc Warrior set only costed me like $16. I’ll watch the Warrior DVD this weekend and will give it a full review when I’m done watching it. I’m sure it’ll be an amazing set. Like most, I’ve been a Warrior fan for years.

He have been absent from wrestling for 16 years or so ’cause he vowed to never make any more wrestling comebacks ’cause he felt he was finished. He wanted to move on and focus on his family. Still though, Warrior didn’t stop working over the years…. he continued to make appearances at indy wrestling events and hosted a lot of “meet & greets” sessions.

Even though he was done wrestling in the ring… people still respected him over the years.
