Personal Life And Death

Who Was The Ultimate Warrior?

• Ultimate Warrior was successful as a bodybuilder
  for a while before he switched to wrestling. When
  he joined WWE in 1987, he became a star right
  away. His quick rise to the top was capped by his
  victory over Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI in
  April 1990. Warriors career came to an end after
  he was suspended multiple times, but he later
  made up with WWE and was inducted into its Hall
  of Fame just before he died in 2014.

Early Life

• James Brian Hellwig was brought into the world on
  June 16, 1959, and he grew up in Crawfordsville,
  Indiana. After his father left the family,
  Warrior, the oldest of five kids, had trouble
  with money and feelings. He turned to football
  and weightlifting at Fountain Central High School
  to fill the void.

Early Years As A Pro Wrestler

• At the end of 1985, Warrior and Borden both went
  pro with Memphis, Tennessees Championship
  Wrestling. At first, the two young men were
  called the Freedom Fighters, but they soon took
  on the image of bad guys and beat out other bands
  as the Blade Runners.

World Class Championship Wrestling

• Warrior eventually went solo and joined World
  Class Championship Wrestling in Texas, where he
  became known as the Dingo Warrior and built up a
  large fan base.

Champion And WWE Superstar

• When Warrior got his chance on the big stage of
  World Wrestling Entertainment in 1987, he changed
  into the tasselled, face-painted Ultimate
  Warrior. He quickly became a fan favourite with
  his cartoonishly chiselled body, high-energy
  performances, and intense, cryptic interviews.
