The Ultimate Warrior, one of the world's most charismatic and popular professional wrestlers, has died at the age of 54, just days after being inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame.
He collapsed while walking with his wife to their car at a hotel and was pronounced dead at a hospital. He is survived by his wife Dana and his daughters.
Born in Crawfordsville, Ind. in 1959, Warrior began his career at what was then called the World Wrestling Federation in 1987. He became the franchise's champion wrestler in 1990, when he defeated Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania. In 1993, he legally changed his name to The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior retired from the ring in 1998 after briefly working for WWE's rival, World Championship Wrestling, but returned for a final match in 2008.
