A lot of people assumed that hell would freeze over before The Ultimate Warrior ever stepped foot in a WWE ring again. There was so much bad blood between the sides since Warrior left the company in 1996 that the two parties had filed lawsuits against each other. Things go so bad that WWE went out of its way to produce a defamatory DVD profile on The Warrior in 2005. Jim Hellwig was not pleased about it, ranted about it on his website and filed another lawsuit against WWE. When WWE did invite him to join the Hall of Fame several years later Warrior turned them down. In 2014, however, after Triple H had cleared the air and WWE had made several concessions to him, Warrior accepted an invitation to headline WWE's Hall of Fame class of 2014. It was deserved. Love him or hate him, you cannot deny the impact that Warrior had on the wrestling business or the legacy that he left behind. Seeing The Ultimate Warrior being inducted was a surreal but brilliant moment. He spoke honestly and from the heart. Warrior mended a lot of fences that weekend, including with longtime rival Hulk Hogan. On the post-WrestleMania Raw, Warrior made his last appearance for the company with an eerily cryptic speech where he talked about living forever and being immortalised by the fans. Warrior died on April 8th, 2014 of a heart attack. He was 54 years old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdkOeMeCvpY
