I recall the Ultimate Warrior being one of my favorite WWF wrestlers growing up, to the point where I can vaguely remember having his poster in my room. Years pass and then along comes Spoony and Linkara's joint review of his comic book series, which lead me to pick up the first issue myself ("if you want to try to track down a copy and make more sense of it, be my fuckin' guest!"). While I, too, have found some of his comments about the world questionable, I still would have been honored to meet him and get him to sign it.
I've even contemplated recreating him in SoulCalibur V because there's a make-up style in the game that's just about a dead ringer for his face paint.
R.I.P. Warrior. You were one crazy dude, but your fire and energy could scarcely be matched. You will be missed. SKRONK!!
