"The death of the Ultimate Warrior at the age of 54 has sparked an outpouring of shock and grief. As well as reactions from his colleagues and his pro-wrestling descendants, Digital Spy presents a personal tribute from our own WWE correspondent, Samuel &amp;#039;The Beast&amp;#039; Mansell.      Ultimate Warrior 1959-2014: His finest moments in video  Today is one incredibly sad day for every wrestling fan on earth. If you were a kid in the 1980s or just loved the sport, then the words Ultimate Warrior will have made a huge impact on your life. The first time I pushed SummerSlam &amp;#039;88 into my VCR and saw this blitzkrieg of intensity win the Intercontinental Title in less than a minute, I became hooked forever. He was a mountain of frenzied fury with huge muscles and neon warpaint that would use up most of a &amp;#039;normal&amp;#039; Superstar&amp;#039;s energy before the opening bell with his kinetic rope-shaking entrance into the arena.      This character would go on to become one of this most iconic and instantly recognisable stars ever in the industry.  The Warrior was probably most famous for his bizarre interviews and, more importantly, for a victory over Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI to win the world title. In the boom times when wrestling was at the height of its popularity, The Ultimate Warrior was at the height of his powers. To this very day, he continues to inspire the next generation of Superstars whilst still captivating the millions of fans who have watched him through his storied career.      I even had the honour of seeing one his last great matches in person at SummerSlam &amp;#039;92 at Wembley when he beat Randy Savage. This year, at the historic WrestleMania XXX weekend, he was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame and gave a deeply poignant speech. No snarling or chest-beating, just a genuine human being passing a torch and telling his story. 48 hours later, he was gone. Rest in peace Jim Hellwig, aka The Ultimate Warrior. #RIPUltimateWarrior My thought and prayers are with his family. With love, Samuel &amp;#039;The Beast&amp;#039; Mansell "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
