Jose stars in his own theatre of the absurd

A mixed week at the upper echelons of the bullshit trade. We lost one of the greats. It says much about the business The Ultimate Warrior was involved in that many people took time to be convinced he was really dead and that the announcement wasn’t a stunt.

Although Warrior looked shook enough lately, you couldn’t rule out a resurrection match-up with The Undertaker, who inflicted one of Warrior’s first deaths when he suffocated him in a coffin during a typically low-key bout.

Adding to the uncertainty; Warrior had just made the WWE Hall of Fame and the day before, on Monday Night Raw, had delivered what would now work well as his eulogy.
