James Brian Hellwig AKA ULTIMATE WARRIOR has passed away aged 54.

I know there are wrestling fans on here and having just seen Facebook go mad, thought I'd better pass on the sad news.

according to officials, "Warrior collapsed outside an Arizona hotel at 5:50 PM on April 8th while walking to his car with his wife. Warrior was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead."

Warrior's death comes as a shock to many who saw him seemingly in full health on WWE programming the past few days. He was a 2014 inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday, appeared at Wrestlemania 30 and was on the latest edition of Monday Night Raw in character.

Very sad news.  I enjoyed watching him when I was younger.  That's very young.  RIP.

I loved the Ultimate Warrior as a kid.  His sudden appearances (where his arrival came as an apparent surprise to everyone except the bloke responsible for playing his intro-music) were a real highlight.

Really shouldn't have been given it written about adolescence six years before I was born but Adrian Mole was the book of my childhood for one reason or another. I didn't get more than half of it but I loved it to pieces.

BLOODY HELL

[O Lucky Stevie!]

You know how towards the end of The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole where his vocabulary takes a quantum leap that transforms him into a teen JG Ballard? That bit.

Sad news.

[Hawkmumbler]

Now thats a sad loss and no mistake. The Adrian Mole series was my like my bible during my teenage years. They still adorn my shelf with pride.

Oh man, Sue Townsend - that's a shame. Her books taught me that even grabbing a handful of breast through a thick sweater was an erotic experience.
