Assuming this is true, this is another tragedy in a long list of them this year.  As I said about Mahoney, that’s WAY too young no matter who it is.

I’m sure you’ve heard about this by now.  I never was a fan of the guy but 44 is too young for anyone.

Due to cardiac arrest.  This is starting to make the rounds from TMZ and then Meltzer (http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe-news/43860-roddy-piper-passes-away).  If so, this is a huge shock as Piper had plans to be on a podcast today and was giving interviews over the recent Hogan issues.

This is a huge shock and it’s going to take a bit for me to process it.  More on this later of course but I’m stunned at the moment.  Piper was a huge star when I was growing up and one of the first big stars I remember.

That’s what HHH says on Twitter.  It’s the verified account as well.  What in the freaking world?

Take this with a HUGE grain of salt as it could be some storyline etc.

Saddened to announce the passing of the Ultimate Warrior. Icon and friend. My sympathy to his wife Dana and his daughters

Edit: WWE has confirmed the story.  No cause of death has been released yet.

Editx2: TMZ has posted a story saying Warrior collapsed outside his hotel and was taken to the hospital where he passed away.  That would heavily imply it wasn’t self inflicted.
