Ultimate Warrior, real name James Brian Hellwig has certainly made an impact in the wrestling world not just in WWE, but in WCW as well. He is known for his colorful wrestling gear, face paint, intimidating size and strength and his passionate but, often odd promo cuts that give audiences a look of his intensifying and wild personality. He is a former WWE Champion and a 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and has memorable rivalries with many wrestlers such as Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Hulk Hogan in fact it was in Wrestlemania VI that Warrior defeated Hogan to WWE championship and became the double champion in the process holding both Intercontinental and WWE championships . He was recently inducted WWE Hall of Fame class of 2014 and appeared on Raw last Monday cutting a promo. Aside from wrestling, he is also an accomplished motivational speaker and writer.
Warrior may have passed away but his legendary career and intensity in the wrestling ring will forever be remembered in the memories of wrestling fans around the world.
