Tweet of the Night: Damian Lillard Among Many To Remember The Ultimate Warrior

by

With the profoundly sad news of his passing, his spirit has begun its eternal lap too soon.

As a fan, I personally feel astoundingly saddened and yet, my brain plays things out as if it were an episode of RAW before my eyes, where—instead of learning the news from an internet article passed along on Twitter, Wade Barrett enters from behind the curtains atop the ramp that stretches down to a WWE ring. He walks up to the podium, in character, and addresses the crowd.

I’m afraid I have some bad new…”

His words are cut short and a prepared video vignette honoring the Ultimate Warrior begins to play on the Titantron above the ramp.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an episode of RAW, it’s real life.

The best that I can do is read the tweets that come across the screen. The news of his death reached major news outlets and a few prominent NBA writers as well.

The impact of Warrior’s life, and untimely death, even reaches celebrities in other walks of entertainment.

Above all else, his loss has been most greatly felt in the professional wrestling community.
