Death of a (wrestling) ICON

It always seems that I start to do this blog thing and then eventually I just stop doing the blogs I equate it to the person that decides that as the new year approaches that this is the year that they're going to the gym and gets there new gym membership, then goes one or twice and never goes back again. With that said.... This morning I got up for work and checked my phone and got some news that kind of shocked me The Ultimate Warrior had passed away at 5:59 PM yesterday. Now I have not followed wrestling in quite some time, but the Warrior was one of the wrestlers I remember from my youth. I personally liked Warrior better than Hulk Hogan. I remember may things about the Ultimate Warrior. I remember when he beat Hogan at Wrestlemania. I remember when the Undertaker locked him in a casket, I remember the entrance he made. The man was one of the wrestlers that put Wrestling in the main stream. My heart goes out to his family and to the wrestling community at large. The Ultimate Warrior was one of the best.
