What Does Tomorrow Hold – My Reflections on The Ultimate Warrior’s Passing

A scripture in the Book of James talks about not knowing what tomorrow holds. This passage came to mind after I watched The Ultimate Warrior on TV 3 days in a row and then he passed away the very next day.

A passage in the Book of Mark also tells us we don’t know the day or the hour.

I’ve struggled mightily to come up with the right words to say about what happened last weekend and then with the sudden and unexpected death of The Ultimate Warrior.

So with that said, I’m going to give you the link to my Ed Boston Evangelistic Outreach show for this week where I talk about what happened, and I will say this:

Thank you Warrior for all of the memories!

Magnus confronted Dixie in the back about not taking time to say hi to him. Dixie said she is here on business that doesn’t pertain to him. Magnus said he is the World Champion, everything pertains to him, he is her business. He wanted her to wish him luck in his title match. She said he doesn’t need luck, he has a plan. Dixie said she plans on taking her limo to the airport & having a glass of wine on the way & may have one or two more on the plane & is going home & shower & go to bed. Magnus said typical woman. Dixie said Magnus is ungrateful & mentioned that he told EC3 that he didn’t need her anymore because he has an insurance policy. Dixie told Magnus good luck with his plan tonight on his own. Dixie said see you champ & left. Magnus said ” I don’t need you anyway, Wrath of Dixie my ass.”

Anderson tossed Shaw into the van but before Anderson could close the doors, Shaw escaped & ran off.

 

Willow in the back, he said, maybe he’s crazy subtract maybe. Willow mentioned EC3 & Rockstar Spud being the cause of his elimination earlier. Willow said he doesn’t care about winning, he cares for revenge. Willow challenged EC3 & Spud to a handicap match next week.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match: Eric Young VS World Champ Magnus: Magnus brought his title belt into the ring. The ref took it from him & Magnus hit EY with a low blow when the ref was handing the belt out of the ring. EY kicked out of the pin attempt. EY hit Magnus with a Piledriver & got the pin. Winner – EY & is the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

 

 

New TNA World Heavyweight Champion Crowned

On tonight’s TNA Impact show, after winning a 10-Man Gauntlet Match to become the #1 contender, Eric Young demanded that MVP give him his title shot against Magnus, TONIGHT!

An injured, tired, and worn down EY nailed Magnus with a vicious pile driver and became the new TNA Heavyweight Champion.

Mike Tenay ended the show only as he can with, “What a moment – April 10, 2014, Eric Young crowned TNA Heavyweight Champion – Damn he did it”.

Sting Releases Statement On The Death Of The Ultimate Warrior

Sting posted the following on Facebook about the death of The Ultimate Warrior:

“Mourning the loss ofSting & Ultimate Warrior 1985 Jim Hellwig. I don’t believe anyone has ever published this picture before today. The snapshot was taken two days before Thanksgiving in 1985, as we prepared to leave my house in Newhall, California and embark on a career in wrestling.

Jim always challenged me to strive at being the best, and I’ll forever be grateful for the encouragement and motivation he provided.

I was looking forward to catching up with him, and I’m saddened we didn’t have the opportunity before he passed. My heart goes out to his wife Dana and their two daughters, and they will remain in my prayers.”

BREAKING NEWS! The Ultimate Warrior Passes Away (Continuous Updates Posted Here)

Jim Ross has a new blog on jrsbarbq.com with his thoughts on The Ultimate Warrior. Here’s part of what he wrote:

“The most memorable moment for me this past weekend in New Orleans was the interaction at the WWE Hall of Fame between Warrior and his two daughters who accompanied their Dad on stage just before he gave his induction speech. The love and bond between a father and his daughters was obvious and heart warming.

In an arena full of Warrior fans, many of who were reliving their youth with their hero, Warrior made it clear that his greatest accomplishment was not being the Ultimate Warrior but instead being the father of his two daughters.

In a career and life often marked by controversy, the beauty of the weekend was seeing Warrior come home to WWE accompanied by his family and that they were able to enjoy the celebration together.

I live with this mantra daily, “Tomorrow’s aren’t guaranteed for any of us.” Today, that philosophy is more meaningful than ever.

RIP Warrior

1959-2014″
