The Royal Ramble: A Small Tribute To Warrior

It's been a while but the "REAL" Royal Ramble is back on eWrestlingNews. I've seen a few people starting to steal my name and that's cool and all but just know where it came from first. Now this will be a small article as the rest of it is posted here at this link: KMOX in St. Louis. Now, let's get rambling!

Two weeks ago, the wrestling world lost a legend and an icon. The Ultimate Warrior passed away just three days after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and a day after appearing on WWE Monday Night RAW one last time. In retrospect, the speech he gave at RAW now seems eerie: “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life, makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them believe in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory, of those who honor him and make whatever that did live forever.”

The Ultimate Warrior may have been a loner in the past but seeing how he reconciled with almost the entire WWE makes it even more sad. He was truly a changed man with a big loving heart. He was the first wrestler/celebrity death that actually made me sick to my stomach. 

As a child, the Ultimate Warrior was my hero. There will never be another person like him. The Ultimate Warrior is gone but never forgotten and he will live on in the memory and spirit of what he called his fans… the Warriors.

Chris Jericho Remembers The Ultimate Warrior - Details

In an interview with Bang Showbiz, Chris Jericho brought up his memories of the Ultimate Warrior.

He said: "I only treat people the way that they treat me and I only met Warrior once and he was really gracious and really cool to me back in 1998 in WCW. He was there to do something with Hulk Hogan and I remember I went up to say hi to him and he went, 'Hey, Chris Jericho, I know you, you're doing a great job you're doing some good work.' I was a nobody at the time and I remember thinking, 'Wow, the Warrior likes me that totally smokes.' It made me feel that I must be doing something right and it gave me a little bit of a boost and I always remembered that. He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive.

I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember WrestleMania VI where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent."

WWE Hall Of Fame Report (4/6) - Warrior, Roberts, Razor, Lita!

Event: WWE Hall Of Fame
Airdate: Saturday, April 5th, 2014 (WWE Network)
Location: The Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA
Results by Matt Boone

Alright everybody, here we go! The WWE Hall Of Fame "red carpet" pre-show special has concluded and the intro for the live special itself is beginning now. Stay tuned!

Introduction: Jerry "The King" Lawler

After the usual elaborate video package introduction, the host of tonight's ceremony, WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler is brought out. Lawler makes his way to the podium and begins by thanking everyone for coming out. He says tonight is a celebration. He says it is his honor to share the same stage as this year's WWE Hall Of Fame inductees. Lawler introduces a video package that is narrated by the Kid Rock song "Celebration," which is one of the official WrestleMania XXX theme songs.

WWE Hall Of Fame 2014 Induction: Lita

After the video package, Jerry Lawler introduces Lita's video package. After the video package wraps up, Lawler introduces WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus. Trish makes her way to the podium to begin her induction speech for her friend and former opponent, Amy "Lita" Dumas.

Trish talks about it being an honor to induct Lita. She says Lita is the godmother to her child. She says her first and last matches in WWE was against Lita. She says they both retired at about the same time. She talks about the chemistry that the two had throughout their careers. She talks about the biggest moment being when they got to main event WWE RAW.

She talks about how Lita was different. She dressed different, she wrestled different, but she was relatable. She talks about Lita's days as a member of "Team Extreme" with Matt and Jeff Hardy. Trish runs down some of Lita's accomplishments and then brings out to the stage, the first inductee to the 2014 class of the WWE Hall Of Fame -- Amy Dumas, better known as Lita.

Lita's music hits and out walks Lita in a long red dress. Lita says she's going to take a minute to soak this in. The fans all chant "Lita." As she continues to talk, the fans erupt in a giant "thank you Lita" chant. Lita tells a story about a travel agent. She talks about calling a travel agent to make a trip to Mexico to learn how to be a professional wrestler. She talks about having money stashed on her during her trip, and then pulls out a $20 bill from her bra to reveal that she still has that mindset to this day.

She talks about going to Arena Mexico, which she refers to as the Madison Square Garden of Mexico. She runs down a bunch of details on her first time being in attendance at a wrestling show in Mexico. She relates the excitement she felt that night to the excitement everyone is going to feel on Sunday night at WrestleMania XXX.

Lita pulls out a mask that she stole from someone who was at the show that night in Mexico. She mentions that it was also the first time she saw Rey Mysterio. Mysterio is shown smiling in the audience. The fans boo something, but I can't figure out what. They chant "put the screen back" (I believe that's what they were saying). Again, not sure what's going on with the boo's or that chant, just recapping what I'm hearing and seeing.

She says she didn't see Mysterio that night in Mexico, but did run into Arn Anderson. She says she told Double A that she wanted to be a pro wrestler and that she was trying to find Mysterio. She says Anderson said he'd help her find him. She talks about being near the elevators in the hotel and seeing Mysterio coming out of one of them. Double A is shown smiling in the crowd. She mentions that she owes Arn a Miller Lite for something. Some ladies come out with a tray of Miller Lite's. She says she owes Anderson and Mysterio one, so the beers are presented to them each. Trish joins Lita at the podium for a shot of wheet grass. Anderson and Mysterio get their beers and everyone cheers. Anderson walks over to where Mysterio is sitting and they both drink their beers in honor of Lita. Everyone cheers again.

Lita continues telling her story about how she became a pro wrestler. She talks about being at ECW Heatwave 1999 and everyone breaks out into an "ECW" chant. She says she was teamed up with Roadkill and Danny Doring. She says Doring got down on one knee to propose to her, but instead of a ring, he proposed to her with a condom. She says that's not to be out-done by her proposal from "The Rated R Superstar" Edge. Then she talks...
