The Ultimate Warrior, who died recently, was remembered fondly by fellow wrestler, Sting.
He said, “One of my favorite things about The Ultimate Warrior was that he used to take tuna and orange juice, put it in a blender, guzzle the whole thing down, and say ‘Yeah, I got my vitamin C and I got my protein all in one.”
The WWE posted the Sting video as apart of “Warrior Week” on the WWE Network.
Last week, the WWE honored Warrior--born James Hellwig--on Monday Night RAW. And the company has been showing specials about Warrior, one of the promotion’s biggest stars in the late 1980s.
Bob “Hardcore” Holly also recently offered his condolences to Warrior’s family, but he said the WWE should also do the same for every wrestler that passes.
“It’s great to see WWE do a tribute to Warrior but I question why they only do that for certain people, only people who’ve made that company tons of money,” Holly said. “It’s like, in other words, his life is more valuable than a mid-carder’s life.”
Holly said that despite Warrior being a WWE Hall of Famer, other wrestlers who die should get similar treatment.
“What pi--es me off is that these guys that don’t get acknowledged when they pass, they sacrifice for that company, they sacrifice their body, they sacrifice their family, they sacrifice so much to work with WWE and for WWE to not acknowledge people but acknowledge Warrior, that’s a travesty to me,” he added. “It’s wrong. They’re saying Warrior is more important than Viscera. Every human life is just as important as the other. What makes Warrior’s life more valuable than Viscera?” He was referring to Viscera, born Nelson Frazier Jr., who died recently.
Warrior died more than two weeks ago after he collapsed while he was walking to his car with his wife in Scottsdale, Ariz. It was ruled later that he died of heart failure.
