The Ultimate Warrior’s wife has released a tearjerking statement following her husband’s death.
Writing on the Ultimate Warrior’s official website, Dana A. Warrior writes: “The Undertaker and I have a lot more in common than you might think. You see, I had a bit of a streak of my own going for the last 20 years. Yes, Warrior and I would have matches of our own … He would yell, I would cry, he would submit, I would win – always. My quivering chin and “pooched” lip was always more powerful than any clothesline or gorilla press slam. He’d laugh and shake his head and say,”you win, Pooch,” but really we both did.”
She continues: “My streak was broken April 8, 2014 when he collapsed. I fought and screamed and cried for him not to leave me, but I wasn’t to win this round. Heaven won and I lost, but I had the ULTIMATE love for 20 years and my children learned to be Warriors from THE ULTIMATE DAD.
“I wouldn’t trade a moment of the life we shared, good or bad, for anything on God’s green earth. He is the love of my life and gave me the gift of our beautiful, sweet, amazing girls. He was loyal and kind and strong and brave. He taught me to live by his creed,”Live Strong, Act Bold, Be Brave. Nothing’s too hard to do, ALWAYS BELIEVE,” and with that creed I will carry on and make him proud.”
The Ultimate Warrior died on April 8th, 2014, and the WWE honored his memory on the following episode of RAW, with fans donning Ultimate Warrior masks as the WWE’s performers linked the stage in order to lead a moment’s silence, along with a round of applause for the wrestling icon.
