Many were haunted by the wrestling icon’s “chilling and eerie” final appearance on “Monday Night Raw.” Others looked back at their youth and reminisced (or overshared) about their Ultimate Warrior Wrestling Buddies.

I had a friend who sodomized his Ultimate Warrior wrestling buddy. If it was a voodoo doll, real Ultimate Warrior will finally Rest in Peace

I'm deeply saddened about the Ultimate Warrior dying. I used to have his wrestler pillow guy and my fucking dynasty team is named after him.
