Who Was Ultimate Warrior?
Ultimate Warrior enjoyed early success as a bodybuilder before transitioning to professional wrestling. He became an immediate star after his 1987 arrival to WWE, his rapid ascent punctuated by a win over champion Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI in April 1990. Warrior saw his career dwindle to a close following multiple suspensions, though he later mended fences with WWE and earned induction into its Hall of Fame shortly before his death in 2014.
Early Years and Bodybuilding Career
Ultimate Warrior was born James Brian Hellwig on June 16, 1959, and raised in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The oldest of five children, Warrior endured financial and emotional difficulties after his father left the family, and turned to football and weightlifting at Fountain Central High School to fill the void.
