RIP the Ultimate Warrior at 54

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/04/09/pro-wrestling-legend-ultimate-warrior-dies-at-54/

Just got inducted into the Wrestling HOF Monday Night.

I remember him as the Dingo Warrier in WCCW and UWF.  Was paired up with Sting during those days.

Hate to guess, but this one looks like it will be another PED related death.

Prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

[Lions84]

Him and Sting were know for several years as the Blade Runners with Eddie Gibert.

Sir Jack Brabham, 88

Three time Formula 1 champion and the man who, in the 1961 Indy 500, ushered in the modern era of IndyCar racing when he took on the so-called "roadsters" with a rear-engined car that had 150 less horsepower.

Most of the other drivers laughed at him and his car, but he ran as high as third and finished a creditable ninth. He also ended up with the last laugh when just five years later, all the cars except one that raced in the Indy 500 had the engine in the rear. And by the end of the decade, the roadsters were extinct.

A motor racing pioneer has left us. R.I.P. Sir Jack.

Casey Kasem  He was 82.

Hard to imagine a more identifiable voice for those of use over 40.

It's a relief - he was facing a drawn-out death from dehydration and starvation, something his daughter had gone to court for.

Inhumane, but apparently it was his wishes.
