Hard to believe Classic series 1 was an entire decade ago!

Jeremy, one of the greatest posts ever. You were professional when I had the privilege to meet you in 2006, and you have not changed. Sorry to hear about the passing of Warrior. I don't collect like I used too, but loved every second of collecting the classic line. I still have an email saved from Warrior. We were in talks of my buying some of his 1 of 20s. He was very nice and spoke highly of you and a guy named Peter Skortis (if i recall correctly). He was very happy with the Jakks team.

Shocked is an understatement. Warrior was and has always been one of my top favorite five. Even in 1994 when I first got into wrestling I loved his image. The colorful attires, his entrance, body, even his sometimes odd promos, all really made him stand out.
Jeremy, your piece was so beautifully written and insightful. CS 1 Warrior was THE figure that pulled me into the CS line. At the time I grew out out collecting, but when I laid eyes upon CS 1 Warrior, I knew I had to have him. He is one of the top 3 wrestling figures ever made IMO. To also learn of how much of Warrior's input was used to create that figure only makes it that more special.
I am happy Warrior had made peace with a lot of parties and while his passing is heartbreaking, know his last few days were filled with everlasting memories for family, friends, colleagues, and fans alike I'll keep, makes me smile.
Warrior was truly one of a kind and there will never be another one like him.

Thank you Jeremy.
I rushed home tonight to catch Raw, but can not get my self to hit play on my DVR. I'm not ready to say goodbye to a childhood hero.

It was quite touching. I rarely do it, but I teared up. The way the ending was put together was gut-wrenching.
