As I start the last part of my journey back to London from New Orleans, I had originally allowed this 8 hour flight to give me time to write my Wrestlemania 30 review and maybe even get started on my reflection on Monday's episode of RAW. That was until I woke up this morning and my plans for the day changed.
Last night The Ultimate Warrior, a man who I had seen on all 3 days of my Wrestlemania weekend, sadly passed away.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and talk about how much of a hero he was to me as a child, so on and so forth, because honestly I wasn't watching WWE at this time. But what I do want to say is how much he inspired me and touched my heart over the 3 days that I was honoured enough to spend in the presence of Ultimate Warrior.
Warrior was passionate about life and his role within it as the Ultimate Warrior. He showed forgiveness and love towards those who had previously betrayed and cheated to get ahead and portrayed him in a way that he would never have chosen himself. But deep down, Ultimate Warrior knew that there was only one group of people he cared about pleasing, and these were his fans. At the Hall of Fame 2014, during his acceptance speech, he spoke so much about the people who had stood by him. And it was easy to see that he was grateful to every person who had supported him, and never doubted him.
He was a great man with a philosophy of life that should be admired. And despite personal opinions of the man, there are two great words that we can all live by..
Always Believe.
