    Wasn't there a period where there was this fake Ultimate Warrior?

    Ultimate Warrior character made a return but I think it was a different actor, much skinner and scrawnier. I think his face looked different too. Was there anybody else playing Ultimate Warrior besides Hellwig?

    I think you are talking about sting. Sting had a colorful face before he went emo.

    He could be talking about the brown mop sporting warrior that took part in warrior's first return to WWF/E.... which was Hellwig... only smaller muscle-wise... his hiatus apparently gave him little reason to keep up with his rigorous lifting regimen....

    No definitely not sting. It was Ultimate Warrior making his return. Except looked like a different person.

    It was Hellwig... he just stopped dying his her, had it in an odd mop style that covered his brow down to his eyes, stopped working out as much (possibly stopped doing steroids due to the scandal)...

    Maybe you're thinking of the Renegade

    His whole thing was being a warrior clone in WCW

    WWE Officials Sent to Arizona to Help Ultimate Warrior’s Widow
    Posted by Jeffrey Harris on 04.12.2014

    WWE supporting Warrior’s family…

    - TMZ reports that WWE will be helping the widow of the late former WWE Superstar and Hall of Famer, the Ultimate Warrior (born Jim Hellwig). The company will reportedly be flying two senior WWE officials to Arizona to stand by and help her. WWE is said to have sent employees almost immediately after Warrior's passing to help his wife, Dana, handle some personal things, such as grocery shopping and informing other family members of what's happening, so Dana can focus on being with her and Warrior's daughters.

    Warrior passed away earlier this week on Tuesday (April 8) outside an Arizona hotel after suffering what was called a "catastrophic medical event."

    I said I still follow bball for now. Why can't I be part of the site and just not post about sports? Seems a bit hypocritical from you since most of your posts are not sports related.

    Yeah I agree that this site offers more than just sports. I love the hangout, the best. I don't think you even have to be a sports fan to be involve in the ongoing community like the hangout, especially being a Houston residence.

    Yeah, especially since like I said, I used to be a die hard and the older and wiser I get the more silly it seems. I still love the game of basketball and enjoy watching it for the X's and the O's - but going crazy for a particular team and getting emotionally invested in a team's colors simply because I live in or near that city is not something I have any passion for any longer and I think that's a good thing. I like following the story lines of players now and not teams. After all, the players don't give a crap about the city or team colors. These guys switch teams every few years. The only color they care about is green and as long as you guys keep spending money on the tickets, jersey's and hot dogs, these guys will get their green. It's all marketing.

    This site has a ton to offer in the hangout & debate and discussion and I still love basketball, the game - not the team colors. So, I think I'll stick around.

    Here's the statement released by Warrior's widow today:

    Dearest Warriors,

    It is with an absolutely broken heart I reach out to you. Since the passing of my husband, I have been fortunate enough to insulate my sweet girls and myself from the outside world. In this bubble we have grieved and continue to do so. For a week, I did not allow any television or media to seep through our cocoon. I was told, though, of the outpouring of love for my beloved husband and support for, as he always called us, his Warrior Girls. I can only say thank you.

    On Sunday night, I was told WWE would pay tribute to Warrior and so I set the DVR planning to watch it when we were ready. As the hour neared, I broke resolve and turned on every TV in the house to full blast and snuggled our daughters close to me on the couch, unsure what we would see. As the scene unfolded with that amazing roster of talent gathered donning Ultimate Warrior shirts and even his face paint, we cheered and sobbed simultaneously. To everyone who stood there, thank you. My girls will remember your bowed heads for the rest of their lives. You are not just Superstars; you are super people.

    I cannot put words to what that video tribute meant. We watched it multiple times and, this morning, it was how I started my day; mornings are the hardest for me. I will treasure that song and those images more than anything I own. Vindication. ULTIMATE PERFECTION.

    I was told it was reported WWE was "there" for us. "There" is the understatement of a lifetime. They were a warm blanket to us three and we were quickly absorbed into their family. Words are cheap; promises are forever. This family is one I'm honored to be a member of and will gladly be the warm blanket to any of them who need me next.

    My husband's speech had so many highlights for me as I sat proudly in the audience looking on at his moment ... I most loved his request for the Hall of Fame to include the, as he called them, "true Superstars," those behind-the-scenes people who make the machine run. See, I'm the person who puts up the ring in our house. I'm the background person who makes things happen seamlessly. I am surrounded by performers in my husband and children, so I felt a kinship with all the people he wanted to shine a spotlight upon who make WWE work. He loved you all, and knew that each of you made his run there possible. Thank you!

    To all the ULTIMATE WARRIOR fans: THANK YOU!! He told me when he shook the ropes it was him gathering strength from each of you. Warrior respected you and loved you as do the girls and I. I will reach out to the ropes for your strength to sustain me in the sad days that the girls and I face. UNWAVERING is what you've been. GRATEFUL is what we are.

    The Undertaker and I have a lot more in common than you might think. You see, I had a bit of a streak of my own going for the last 20 years. Yes, Warrior and I would have matches of our own ... He would yell, I would cry, he would submit, I would win - always. My quivering chin and "pooched" lip was always more powerful than any clothesline or gorilla press slam. He'd laugh and shake his head and say,"you win, Pooch," but really we both did.

    My streak was broken April 8, 2014 when he collapsed. I fought and screamed and cried for him not to leave me, but I wasn't to win this round. Heaven won and I lost, but I had the ULTIMATE love for 20 years and my children learned to be Warriors from THE ULTIMATE DAD. I wouldn't trade a moment of the life we shared, good or bad, for anything on God's green earth. He is the love of my life and gave me the gift of our beautiful, sweet, amazing girls. He was loyal and kind and strong and brave. He taught me to live by his creed, "Live Strong, Act Bold, Be Brave. Nothing's too hard to do, ALWAYS BELIEVE," and with that creed I will carry on and make him proud.

    Streaks are broken but legends live forever.

    Always Believe,

    Dana A. Warrior

    Funny you should mention a church as an analogy.

    You seem to have no connection to this team or any team for that manner. Fine, you don't have to become invested. A lot of us grew up cheering for our teams because our parents did. It's a tradition just like going to church is one. I guess you find tradition silly. That's cool but tradition and connection to the people we love via church or sports have substance. Local sports are a way a community fellowships. It's a conversation stater, it allows folks to find common ground even past racial, financial and spiritual differences....like going to church.


    You can go to church but if you don't invest in I the community of a church you are wasting your time. I hope you find whatever makes you happy.

    Says a guy who's fired off 4000+ posts in the last couple years on an internet sports BBS.
