Yeah I see now that it was a mask now you point it out. Maybe he had been hanging on to get closure and once he got it his body gave way. It can happen like that sometimes I believe. I wonder if you gave all those wrestlers their time again if they would do the same thing again. For some of them, I imagine the early death was an acceptable price to pay for achieving the fame and adulation that they had that they might not have had without all the steroids and the lifestyle.
dynamite kid is an absolute physical mess now and has said he would do it all again.
there is a big belief that he was hanging on for that, i can see why, his final promo is very poignant "every mans hearts one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath" "the spirit of ultimate warrior will live forever"
he seemed to make peace with loads in the run up including hogan, jake roberts and vince.
Yeah heard he'd not been well all weekend, coughing up blood backstage.
Makes you think what these guys do to their bodies to get them into the shape they're in.
widely reported he was always short of breath that weekend, and was clutching his chest a lot.
was also said to be sweating profusely though in the pic above he is wearing a shirt, waistcoat, blazer and a HUGE coat. no wonder he was sweating.
he obviously wasnt well though, his death didnt seem to be that unexpected given the reports of him struggling to breathe and him holding his chest etc
