The Ultimate Warrior (real name James Hellwig before legally changing it to "Warrior") is one of the most recognizable WWE faces from the late '80s and early '90s. The Hall of Famer won over the crowd with his energetic entrance, unforgettable face paint, and a bulky physique.

Joining WWF in 1987, The Ultimate Warrior won the Intercontinental Championship and the Heavyweight Championship, pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania 6 for the latter title and becoming the first Superstar to hold both the titles at once.

The Ultimate Warrior was a hero to fans at that time, and that possibly explains why he never embraced the dark side and became a villain. At WrestleMania 8, he gave us one of the most iconic WrestleMania moments when he ran down the long aisle way and helped Hogan fight off Sid Justice and Papa Shango.

Although The Ultimate Warrior never turned heel in WWE, he was certainly portrayed as a real-life bad guy in the company's documentary 'The Self-Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior'. Unfortunately, The Warrior passed away on April 8, 2014, just three days after being inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame.
