The UK broadcast of the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, which aired tonight, began with an "in memory of" graphic of The Ultimate Warrior. It read as follows:

"In Memory of James Brian Hellwig, The Ultimate Warrior 1959-2014."

Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com remembering The Ultimate Warrior, and below is an excerpt:

The most memorable moment for me this past weekend in New Orleans was the interaction at the WWE Hall of Fame between Warrior and his two daughters who accompanied their Dad on stage just before he gave his induction speech. The love and bond between a father and his daughters was obvious and heart warming.

In an arena full of Warrior fans, many of who were reliving their youth with their hero, Warrior made it clear that his greatest accomplishment was not being the Ultimate Warrior but instead being the father of his two daughters.

In a career and life often marked by controversy, the beauty of the weekend was seeing Warrior come home to WWE accompanied by his family and that they were able to enjoy the celebration together.

I live with this mantra daily, "Tomorrow's aren't guaranteed for any of us." Today, that philosophy is more meaningful than ever.

RIP Warrior

1959-2014
