WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 13)

7. Saying Goodbye To A Warrior

Now, just to get things out of the way, the actual worst event that happened this past week was the death of The Ultimate Warrior. You can't compare wrestling storylines to real life tragedies, so please don't consider his passing as a ranked part of this list. I just needed to mention it, as it was one of the most shocking wrestler deaths we've ever had. It felt more personal than most. We saw the man on Monday night, and less than 24 hours later he was gone. When I first read the news on HHH's Twitter feed, I was stunned, and assumed someone had to have hacked into his account and started posting fake news. It just didn't feel possible. I wrote a bit about my memories of The Warrior earlier this week , and still can't but help wish we'd see him a few more times. When rumors emerged of him facing Ryback at WrestleMania, I'll admit I thought it would be fun. In retrospect, it would have been horrible due to his health, but watching Warrior dish out a couple of clotheslines and giving Ryback the splash would have been a truly unforgettable WrestleMania moment. While his legacy is not without some well-deserved controversy, let's hope we can at least agree that he was a great character in WWE history. Heck, the man would have made quite a few Worst of the Week entries in his day with his super vomiting Papa Shango feud, his mirror hiding antics and the time he decided to wear a baseball hat for the first time, and only time ever, conveniently before Jerry Lawler hit him over the head with a painting. Sure, he was a goofball, but he was our goofball. A favorite part of mine, and many other fan's childhood is now gone. Now, let's switch gears now from the depressing news of the week to some things we can have fun with and get annoyed about for a bit! Always believe.
