    I went to high school with Jim Hellwig in Indiana, he was in some of my classes in '73 and 74 (Fountain Central, High School). One semester he was in my "home room" and sat right next to me. He was very skinny and frail looking as a kid. He might have started weight lifting at the age of 11 or 12 but it sure had not shown it yet when he was 15 or 16 when I knew him! I would have never thought he'd end up that big. Had to have been steroid treatments. He was a nice kid though. Also very quiet and reserved, believe it or not!! In school he was anything but outgoing in any way. He changed immensely. I remember talking to him about how we didn't like our home room teacher because she tried to keep everyone from talking. She also had been my English/Literature teacher. Thinking back she was nice. But me and Jim didn't like her at all then. And I remember Jim fondly, he was nice.

So hard to believe how much time has gone by and how many of these guys are no longer with us. R.I.P Warrior, you left an eternal legacy for future generations to enjoy Thank you for rekindling a memory from my past too Lamont.

    I have heard so many stories about Warrior. Ive heard that there was a clone of him (there were 2) in wrestling back in the day. Plus he actually legally changed part of his name to "The Warrior" just to piss off Vince McMahon and also to keep him from copywriting the name and giving it to another person. And I always wondered why Gorilla Monsoon always called Bobby Heenan "The Weasel", apparently Warrior put him in the weasel suit at one point, that was before I started watching. Totally off topic, but Hogan was always my idle and my dad took me to the Pontiac Silverdome to Wrestlemania 7 when Hogan was against The Giant. As an 8yr old I couldn't believe how much bigger the wrestlers were compared to my dad.

Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan were my favorites but, I enjoyed all of the wrestlers from that era. Those who have all passed are very well missed. I no longer watch wrestling. It is just not same as it was back in the 80's and 90's. Rest in Power Ultimate Warrior.

WARRIOR became my #1 wrestler until my interest changed from wrestling to girlfriends at around 12 or 13 years old , 1992/1993. But from the late 1980s to the early 1990s wrestling was my world and I was able to see the Hulkster at a few house shows!!!! Never Warrior though.

He's likeness, action figure, game characters and merchandise are all sold out and still boosting more sales for WWE.. His video in youtube his epic matches are is still watched in social media.. And even the children of this day knows him and think of him as a legit superhero.. There is no stopping Warrior's Legacy as he has captured our imagination far beyond his grave..

    I'm 100% with you Lamont! The Ultimate Warrior is my all time favorite wrestler. I was 9 years old when Wrestlemania 6 happened and that match was LEGENDARY! I had to wait til it came out on VHS back then because I couldn't afford the PPV back then (well, my parents couldn't.) Wrestling was to me as a kid back then almost magical and SO many of those wrestlers from the 70s 80s and 90s are no longer with us today because of the lifestyle they lived back then. It's sad to think about but an honor at the same time to have grown up during the Golden Age of Wrestling. Good times. RIP ULTIMATE WARRIOR! You live forever in the hearts of all the Warriors around the world.

      Stayed at a motel where he stayed in '88, Pittsburgh, Pa. A kid knocked on my door wanting my autograph. He thought I was somebody because 2-3 others were there, can't recall who, in his eyes a guy over 6'1", plus cowboy boots, looked like a giant to him and it was my weight training days. I always thought the Warrior was about 6'4" but no way he was because we passed in the motel restaurant and I looked him near eye to eye. Found out in this video he was 6-2 so that makes sense. I'm not the type to bother someone when they're "off the clock" so to speak, so I didn't get his autograph but he did nod a greeting several times. Cool, because I really liked him. When he retired I seldom watched WWE again.

      ​@@petegregory517wow thanks bro for revitalizing my childhood. I'm from Pittsburgh and my pops took me to a wrestling event that was going on in the presently defunct Civic Arena. You know the big igloo lol. It was great seats where we was able to touch the wrestlers. I was 7 years old then. Idk what year he quit but I quit watching it after he wasn't there after 92.

    Steroids killed many of the wrestling legends causing them to have heart attacks.
