Warrior confided in Shari that he always feared for his health. His grandfathers had both passed away in their 50s, and that was something which weighed on him immensely. Tyree also thinks that's why her then-husband was so driven.

He wanted to become as rich and famous as he could ASAP.

Warrior himself died when he was only 54 years old. It's chilling to think that those concerns he carried with him throughout his life weren't misplaced. If anything, it's like the guy was looking into a crystal ball towards the future, and was in a rush to motor things along so he'd make as much cash as he could before shuffling off this mortal coil.

That, when one stops to think about it, is pretty darn incredible. Shari didn't know it at the time, but Warrior was in a hurry to become a household name and set his family up for life in as short a span of time as possible.
