Warrior (born James Brian Hellwig; June 16, 1959 – April 8, 2014) was an American professional wrestler, who wrestled most famously under the ring name The Ultimate Warrior.
He was best known for his appearances in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) from 1987 to 1991 and again in 1992 and 1996, as well his stint in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1998.
While in the WWF, he became a two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion and won the WWF Championship when he pinned Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania VI, making him the only wrestler in the history of the company to hold both the WWF Championship and the Intercontinental Championship at the same time.
In 1993, Hellwig legally changed his name to "Warrior", which is also the last name of his wife and children.
Warrior retired from professional wrestling in 1998 and embarked on a public speaking career, but wrestled one final match in Spain in 2008.
Warrior died on April 8, 2014, at the age of 54.
Over the preceding three days he had been inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, appeared at WrestleMania XXX, and made his final public appearance at RAW.
