I respected Ultimate Warrior, says UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock

Ken Shamrock and Ultimate Warrior

Sudden death of Ultimate Warrior shocked the entire WWE universe. Before he left this world, he appeared at recently concluded WrestleMania XXX.

UFC hall of famer Ken Shamrock recalled his first experience with the Ultimate Warrior. He talked about his first experience at The Roman Show.

Ken Shamrock said, “Anytime you know of someone who passes away is always a sad feeling,” he said. “You understand that this is stuff that happens in life. You wish the family and friends a little bit of comfort. He is in a better place. Its really the people that are left behind you want to pray for.First memory is a funny one. I was in Gene Anderson’s organization and WWF came to town they brought me in for three house show. I worked two matches with Barry Horowitz and one with Mega Man. The two with Barry were good and the one with Mega Man was a horrible match. I went to the locker room they told me ‘don’t worry about it that guy is as green as you are’.” The Ultimate Warrior had come and had his match. He sprinted to the ring, he hit the ropes, beats the guy and sprints all the way through the locker room and immediately sits down. As am talking he passes out. I said wow what happened. One of the Anderson brothers said don’t worry he probably just got gassed. I thought he died. That was the first time I met him. After that he wouldn’t talk much. He was nice to me. I respected him. He was a man of few words. I respected him.”
