The best thing WWE could do to honor Warrior's death is to make his wish of including a wing like the one he suggested in his speech.

Someone on another board mentioned that Louisiana is below sea level and Arizona is way above it, and the sudden change of elevation may have screwed with his heart.

Another thing to consider is that he lived in Arizona and was probably exposed to a lot of heat and humidity which may have exacerbated any bad condition he was already in.

TMZ said he collapsed walking to his car, taken to a hospital and was dead on arrival.

Jake Roberts just tweeted that he buried the hatched with him Saturday, and Kevin Nash said something to a similar effect too. What Daniel Bryan just posted is pretty moving, too.

Beyond shock I'm not quite sure how to feel. I grew up a fan, despised him later for his ultra-right wing bullshit, and things I'd read about him in books about how disrespectful he was to people around him when he was on top. A lot of this was rolling through my mind when I watched his speech, and I tweeted a few things expressing that. By no means do I gain any happiness from his death, but I'm not going to fall into avoiding all the negative stuff when I think about him now.

The timing of it makes me think suicide, but someone here posted in the HOF thread that they were seriously worried he was going to die right there in the middle of his speech.

It's downright spooky.

Bryan Alvarez has said WWE confirms this.

More news as it comes along.

Yeah, I was surprised not to see it on the Yearbook. Nick and Verne refusing to shake Gene's hand was cool too.

Paul looked a lot better than I thought he would by now. I heard he'd been having health problems but I read a little interview with him this weekend where he said he was fine, weighing 195 lbs now.

Was it really a face promo though?

They did it for Andre the first year, so why not.

I said it over in the WM thread.

I wonder how WWE is going to take advantage of the news that HBO Go went tits-up after the Game of Thrones premiere crashed it.

Now to wait impatiently for every SNME and Clash to arrive.

I remember when they had both the Spanish and French tables on Raw every week.

I think he'd have no problem accepting the honors as Mark, plus This.

They're just going to use Steve as a talking head for his career, WCW in general, and eventually the Hall of Fame. I'm fine with that As for the question posted, I think this it. For the last 2-3 years I had a creeping suspicion we were getting closer to the end. Regardless of match quality, he couldn't have picked a better night to do it. Last night really felt like a changing of the guard, and for the streak and effectively his career to end felt appropriate to both the character and the man's character and loyalty. This also poises Brock as Bryan's next major obstacle and possibly a huge money-maker for WWE if they set it up right.

I think that was Bryan's sister and his niece.

I did too a little until I heard that it took 5 officials to carry it inside the ring.

I'm glad they went with Bryan/HHH opening like I thought they might would have. It's the only thing that could have followed the summit that opened the show.

The streak ending, and how a lot of us were shocked by it, must have been what it felt like when Koloff beat Bruno. Even if it is just a fraction of what it was like that night in 1971, it was an amazing moment to watch.

The best Hall of Fame ceremony, followed up by what I must say is the best WrestleMania I've seen since 13. For someone who is as tuned out of the product as I am, there were a few moments where the matches had me completely in awe and leaning in my seat. If this is what usher's Paul and Stephanie (maybe Shane too?) in as the braintrust, I think we're going to see a vastly improved product. I hope so anyway.
