The Ultimate Warrior passes away

The news of Ultimate Warrior passing away has knocked me, and many others, for six. Warrior was part of a lot of wrestling fans childhoods. We grew up with this super hero style character and the Warrior gave us legendary matches against Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 Slaughter at Royal Rumble 91 and of course his greatest rival the Macho Man Randy Savage at Wrestlmania 7 and summerslam 92

Everyone will always remember the impact the Ultimate Warrior had on the wrestling business and I will never ever forget him.

So thank you Ultimate Warrior for all the great promos. Thank you for the great memories and always being the Ultimate Victoooooor!

An intro

Hello and welcome to cookie wrestling ponderings. I will be given my thoughts on wrestling of today tomorrow and way back when I first started watching this crazy thing called wrestling. 

I have been a fan of pro wrestling since 1991 and the very first thing I saw was macho man randy savage in the barber shop announcing that he will marry miss Elizabeth at summerslam 91. 

I did not have a clue why savage was in a barbershop and why he wasn't wrestling in the ring. Then I realised that it wasn't like the british wrestling my dad liked. What I was watching was a drama, entertainment a story book world where people settled disputes in the ring and I was hooked. 

To this day when I say I'm a wrestling fan I get people saying things like "you know it's fake." I always respond with: so is Batman, so is Star Wars. "They don't really hurt each other." I don't even have to explain to true wrestling fans that they do get hurt. We are not thick and don't realise that they know who is going to win. 

I have loved pro wrestling from 1991 and I still love it just as much today and I am not ashamed about it.

see ya later!
