Less than 24 hours earlier, Warrior stood in the ring on WWE’s Monday
Night RAW for the first time in 18 years delivering what would be his
ultimate farewell.
“No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own,” he told the Smoothie
Centre crowd. “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs
breathe their final breath.
“And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through
the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something that’s

and make the running the man did live forever,” Warrior said.
“I am the Ultimate Warrior, you are the Ultimate Warrior fans and the
spirit of the Ultimate Warrior will run forever,” he added.
