Report: Ultimate Warrior's Health Declined Over Past Few Months Prior To His Death

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the health of late WWE Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior appeared to have declined over the past few months prior to his death, as fans who attended WrestleCon 2013 noted how huge Warrior was, but appeared to be "much smaller" at the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony and never took off his dress shirt.

While no one is certain what happened regarding Warrior's health, The Wrestling Observer further speculates that he either finally realized he needed to get off of whatever it was that he was on that was making him look big or that his overall health had to do with injuries. It is noted that Warrior tore his right bicep in 1996 and 2012 before having surgery on his left bicep in 2012. He apparently also told people that he was aware that the things he had done in order to make himself look the way he did could have taken years off of his life.

The Wrestling Observer also notes that Warrior had been limping for years and that it had gotten worse in the last couple of months before his death. They also state that during Warrior's final appearance on WWE RAW, the WWE production team was told to shoot him in a way that people wouldn't be able to tell how badly he was limping.
