WWE did an absolutely fantastic job on the documentary. Growing up as a fan since the Dingo Warrior days, it brought back great memories and also tugged at the heart strings more than once. A lot of wrestlers deaths are hard to get over, but this one stings a little more due to the timing of it all. Very hard to fathom that he could be so happy for three strait days and gone on the fourth. Still having trouble accepting it all.

I wish Warrior would of came out in his gear and in character at that last raw. I was expecting him to race to the ring looking like that 2k14 commercial. It was very disappointing seeing him in a tie and suit barely being able to shake the ropes. On a side note: Did Warrior ever get over that leg he hurt at War Games? Seems he was limping ever since. In Barcelona you could see it, and on the last Raw the same limp. He tore a bicep at War Games. The knee injury happened in training for the Orlando Jordan match in 08 (Barcelona). Doesn't look like he was able to get back to normal since.

I was a little surprised he bothered to put on a suit/tie for the RAW appearance.... it looked like backstage at RAW, he was wearing a cool black Warrior T-Shirt, with a longer black shirt on top of that, and jeans.... I kind of thought that look (with the Duster on top) would have looked more "Warrior-esque" than that gray suit..... Wearing the suit must have been important to him.... maybe to show the world how he had evolved? I don't think he was able to physically "race to the ring".... it looks like he struggled to walk down the ramp (probably due to his bad knee).

Watched the doc on the Network - liked it, real nice. One thing that really bums me out though is I hope WWE dont stop releasing merch of him - I'm not one really to wear WWE merch outdoors but Warrior stuff is always cool and the few graphics that they showed in the doc all looked awesome. I just hope they dont stop celebrating him via merch and stuff :/

Still can't get my head around this. R.I.P It took a few days for me to finally accept it, but it has sunk in. Without question, the most shocking wrestling death ever and the hardest I've ever taken one.

Without question, the most shocking wrestling death ever and the hardest I've ever taken one. Eddie was hard also, because he managed to overcome his problems and then he died....that was a great shame! Owen was hard because of how it happened, and me being a huge fan of the Hart family it was hard to accept. But Warrior, one of the biggest names ever and after that speech on Raw, it just sends chills down my spine mate! I think they are the 3 deaths I have found hard to accept since I've been watching wrestling.

Obviously i know as much as anyone on here does, so its just my opinion, but i would think we will see more Warrior merch no matter what. Vince has a history of honoring contracts of deceased wrestlers to their families. Warrior signed a multi year deal. WWE could release Warrior shirts,figures ,and possibly even another dvd for that duration and easily make money off of them. So i would say there will ,most likely, be more to come. Including some memorial type stuff thrown in. I certainly hope there will be more, but im inclined to think there will be.

He was always in great shape which makes me believe he might well have been a long term user of steroids. His death seems genetic with both his father and grandfather passing in their 50s due to heart disease. It makes you wonder why you would risk taking steroids which have been linked to causing heart disease. I mean why risk it? He was very ripped considering his age, he looked after himself and was always a fitness fanatic but i dont feel you can be that ripped going well into your late 40s and early 50s simply by working out and eating well. Either way its sad hes passed, he seemed like such a good guy i was really impressed with his HOF speech it was one of the most genuine speeches ive heard from the HOF.

Well people didn't know back then what the long term effects of roids were.

So, when are we all going wake up from this horrible nightmare? For a week, I've been trying to, because this just can't be for real. This has gotta be like the most realistic and awful bad dream of all time.

This has gotta be like the most realistic and awful bad dream of all time. How i wish it was my friend. I just got the gumption to watch the new DVD last night and today. I got so caught up in it, it totally left my mind that he had passed. Not that i forgot about it or anything, but just that it took my mind off of it. So many things on there that brought back great memories. And ,as Jericho pointed out on the first Warrior dvd, this collection substantiates that Warrior really was underrated as an in ring talent. At least for his style of wrestling anyway. Im glad this dvd gives an account from his side of things. Thank God the man could share his point of view and finally.....finaly....get some respect from peers and fans before his passing. On another note , for as un-noteworthy as his time in WCW was, im glad some of it was included here as most of it is just a blur to me nowadays.

I'm all for more warrior merch as long as his family is getting a nice chunk of it. Just read the letter his wife wrote to the fans...wow. RIP Warrior.

Got a chance to check out the 1 hour doc about Warrior on the Network. It just broke my heart how everything was going so well, that he buried the hatchet with anyone he's ever had beef with, and then the unexpected happens. But, this was a great documentary and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't caught it yet.

Still can't believe it tbh. Thank god he buried the hatchet with everyone after all these years. It would have sucked big time if Warrior went out without saying a proper final thanks and goodbye to everyone. Seeing at WM30 made it an even more legendary event.
RIP to the Ultimate Warrior. A good man and a legend. Prayers go out to his family!
