The Ultimate Warrior, born James Brian Hellwig, was a legendary American professional wrestler who wrestled for famous professional wrestling promotions like World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and now defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW). Hellwig was into amateur bodybuilding before foraying into professional wrestling. He wrestled as Dingo Warrior for WCCW, as The Warrior for WCW, and most famously as The Ultimate Warrior for WWF. While wrestling for WWF, he won the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship twice. He successfully defended the title and won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in perhaps one of the most classic matches in the promotion’s history beating defending champion Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI. With this Hellwig became the first wrestler to hold both titles simultaneously. He took retirement from pro-wrestling in 1998 following which he embarked on a short-lived public speaking career. He appeared at WrestleMania XXX and on Raw and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame a few days before he died at age 54. He is remembered at large for his trademark face paint, high energy, orange tan and quasi-mystical interview style.
