    The Ultimate Warrior's career is defined by a handful of moments that outshine his relatively short time at the top. He was the first wrestler to hold the WWF and Intercontinental titles at the same time, a feat he achieved by beating Hulk Hogan clean at WrestleMania VI in front of 67,000 fans at the SkyDome. His 30-second win over the Honky Tonk Man at SummerSlam 1988 remains one of the fastest title changes in WWE history. In 2014 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, three days before his death, a moment that gave his story a tragic and fitting coda. His influence on wrestling entrances and character work is still felt.
