THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR (WWE SUPER STAR) JAMES HELLWIG IS DEAD

Wrestling icon the Ultimate Warrior has died at the age of 54.

TMZ reports that the wrestler, real name James Brian Hellwig, collapsed outside an Arizona hotel while walking to his car with his wife Dana. An official cause of death has yet to be given.

The news comes as a shock to wrestling fans because Warrior appeared live at Wrestlemania 30 on 5 April, three days before his death, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

On Monday night, less than 24 hours before his death, he made his first appearance on WWE's Raw programme for almost 20 years.

Sporting an Ultimate Warrior mask, he delivered a typically grandiose speech, saying: "The spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever."

Damn! another legend gone!
