Hennig was in town for a show being promoted by Jimmy Hart at the Tampa State Fairgrounds. He was seen alive at 9:30 a.m. by Mickey Jay in his room, but a few hours later when he failed to show up at the gym, a workout partner went back to the room and he was found dead at the age of 44.

Seems like a lot of wrestlers die of "heart attacks."

Kinda suspicious if you ask me.

plus, if roids don't kill you, they make you impotent and eventually give you mantits.

His "perfect-plex" signature move was still pretty spiffy. Ahhhh, the days of old...when I was but a child with nothing to do but sit and flip through channels. (My dad didn't like me watching that trash...still doesn't, at the age of 20 :))

thats pretty sad ..didnt the ultimate warrior die from roids too?
I vaguely remmeber there being a diffrent one after a while and people saying he had died from taking steroids.

Besides who really knows why he died remember that baseball player everyone said the same thing turned out to be his arteries were all clogged up.

The original Warrior is still alive. He is changed immensely since his wrestling days though.

There was only one Ultimate Warrior. The rumors of multiple ones or that the original died were false.
