I Have ‘Til 5: 2014 Moments

2. Snapshots: Keep Calm

We were so wrapped up in the emotion around Wrestlemania Weekend that we never posted our photos from the Raw after Wrestlemania. They’re up on our Facebook page now but that’s kinda crazy, right? It’s because this is a Wrestlemania that never left us. The Undertaker’s streak ended at the hands of Brock Lesnar; Paul Heyman never let us forget it. Daniel Bryan beat Triple H in the first match and then bested Randy Orton and Batista; we didn’t want to forget that. But it’s the tragic passing of the Ultimate Warrior than hangs with us the most. It’s the best and worst of feelings. The weekend was designed around his return to wrestling,  making peace with himself and the myth of his persona. His speech at the Hall of Fame, his appearance at Wrestlemania – clearly touched by the outpouring of love and respect – and then his speech on RAW,  donning the coat and facepaint on more time, provided him and us closure. The tributes that exploded over the Internet after his passing only proved his point. The spirit of the Ultimate Warrior lived on in us, his fans. It makes this fan sign that we saw at that RAW even more poignant.
