did the Ultimate Warrior get his leg cut off?

 

[powerforward]

they did, beyond the mat.

 

[powerforward]

snav, that would be cool, i would just settle for being able to find some old matches on tape/dvd. preferably old mid south/uwf tapes.

He died in 1995 but does anyone know what was the cause?

Don't know but he and the Iron Shiek used to be the badasses.

 

[slobberknocker]

www.ultimatewarrior.com is fine and still in good shape.

Really? I thought he died a few years ago, and that they got a different Ultimate Warrior who just goes by "Warrior."


Could be wrong though...

Speaking of the "Warrior" here's are some pics of the Warrior before and current.

 

[ZenMachine]

There is now, and there has always been only one Ultimate Warrior - Jim Hellwig. Who legally had his name changed to "Warrior". I guess "Frickin' Tool" was taken.

The guy who died played a Warrior knockoff in the WCW called the Renegade. His name escapes me right now. He committed suicide.

The wrestler who had his leg cut off was Kerry Von Erich. He played a Warrior looking wrestler by the name of the Texas Tornado in the WWF. He lost his leg (below the knee) in a motorcycle accident (prior to his stint in the WWF) but continued to wrestle with a prostetic. He is also dead (as is most of the Von Erich family)
