Feel the power of the Ultimate Warrior's trademark rights ... from BEYOND THE GRAVE -- the late wrestler is trying to crush all attempts to make a quick buck off his death.

T-shirts donning Warrior's name and logo popped up all over the Internet last week after he passed ... and now attorneys for Ultimate Creations (Warrior's marketing company) want the imitations scrapped from the net -- citing the wrestler's trademark.

We're told the cease and desist letter -- obtained by TMZ -- has been fired off to more than 100 merchandisers already ... threatening legal action if they don't shut down all sales immediately.

Warrior will also gorilla press slam dead relatives of any knockoff salesmen ... in Heaven.

That's what we imagine, anyway.

He may be having some personal issues, but Aldon Smith is NOT A VILLAIN ... so say several ex-college teammates who tell TMZ Sports the Aldon they knew at Missouri was a stand-up guy.

**Spoilers ahead ... (and above if you count the headline) ... you've been warned ... sorta**

King Joffrey was a punk bitch ... and his death was AWESOME ... so says Atlanta Falcons icon Jamal Anderson, who happens to be a hardcore "Game of Thrones" fanboy.

After he invented the "Dirty Bird" and took the Falcons to the Super Bowl, Anderson got hooked on GoT ... reading all 5 of the books in the series ... and now he's addicted to the HBO adaptation.

"It's the best show on TV. The best show in the history of HBO ... better than 'The Wire' and could eventually be better than 'The Sopranos.'"

So, last night ... when Joffrey finally got his comeuppance moments after the royal wedding ... Anderson was pumped.

"He was the devil. I was glad to see him go."

Jamal notes that Joffrey was a much bigger a-hole to Tyrion and Sansa in the book than he was on the show -- but nevertheless, says the show did a great job of portraying his evilness.

In fact, Jamal hails producers for putting together a death scene that was "way better" than what he imagined when he read the book.

Jamal wanted to talk about all of the stuff that's coming up on the show ... but we had to hang up before he spoiled the whole series for us.

The Ultimate Warrior died from a massive heart attack ... this according to the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy, TMZ has learned.

Officials tell TMZ ... the official cause of death for Warrior -- real name James Hellwig -- was determined to be "Atherosclerotic/Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease" ... aka heart disease.

Officials classified Warrior's death as "natural" -- meaning neither drugs nor alcohol were directly involved.

As we previously reported, Warrior clutched his chest outside of an Arizona hotel on April 8 while walking with his wife. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but never regained consciousness.

Warrior was 54 years old.

More drama for the San Francisco 49ers ... this time, cornerback Chris Culliver has plead not guilty in a case allegedly involving brass knuckles.

Culliver -- who infamously said he didn't want gay players in his locker room back in 2013 -- was arrested on March 28 in San Jose, CA after allegedly striking a bicyclist and then hitting another vehicle with his car while trying to flee the scene.

Cops also say he was in possession of illegal brass knuckles.

But on Friday, Culliver pled not guilty to both misdemeanor hit and run and felony possession of the knuckles.

Aldon Smith told authorities to "strip search me" after he allegedly claimed to have been in possession of a bomb at LAX yesterday ... multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports.

We're told ... after Smith had been confronted for allegedly making the false bomb statements, the SF 49ers superstar copped an attitude with authorities and sarcastically challenged them to conduct a "strip search."

As we previously reported, Smith also told cops they were an "embarrassment" -- and insisted he did "nothing wrong."

After winning the biggest golf tournament in the country, Masters champion Bubba Watson only had one thing on his mind -- THE WAFFLE HOUSE.

Right after putting on his green jacket, the 35-year-old golf stud hit up a local Waffle House restaurant in Augusta, GA to celebrate his big win.

A rep for the WH tells TMZ Sports ... Watson went with his usual order -- a grilled cheese sandwich and hash browns.

We're told Watson and WH have a long-standing relationship -- with WH even catering one of Bubba's charity events recently.

Bubba's not the only celebrity who's passionate about the Waffle House -- country music star Jake Owen hit up a WH after presenting at the CMAs last year.

Antonio Cromartie was TRIPLE TEAMED in Vegas this weekend ... by 3 little people who grinded their junk all over his leg ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

The AZ Cardinals ball hawk celebrated his big 30th birthday with his wife and a bunch of friends at Beacher's Madhouse at the MGM Grand -- where the NFL star was pulled on stage for a little personal attention from one of the show's big stars.

Mini Miley. Mini Kanye. And Mini Rihanna ... and it got WILD.

Mini Drake's gonna be sooo jealous.

San Francisco 49ers superstar Aldon Smith managed to contain his anger on the way out of jail yesterday after he was busted for making a bomb threat ... and TMZ Sports has the only video.

According to Willie Gault ... speed don’t crack either.

The former NFL wideout tells TMZ Sports that even at the ripe age of 53, he STILL has the jets to burn up the some of the league’s elite runners – including DeSean Jackson.

We spoke with Willie, unarguably one of the fastest men in the HISTORY of the NFL, and he told us he's been able to maintain his lightning fast speed thanks to a hardcore training regimen and strict diet.

“I’m less than a second slower than I was in my prime,” Gault says ... telling us he's still clocking a 4.3 in his 40-yard dash.

When asked how he would stack up against some of the league’s current speed demons Willie says “Probably eight to ten guys faster than me, Trindon Holliday, Chris Johnson of course.”

But when it came to All-Pro receiver DeSean Jackson, Willie didn’t give it up saying ... "Nah, not him. I could get him."

Willie, who is the world record holder in the 100 meter dash (for guys over 45) says that even Usain Bolt would have some problems with him -- under the right conditions.

Joe Buck is officially a married man ... again ... tying the knot to a SMOKIN' HOT former NFL cheerleader this weekend during a ceremony in Mexico.

The "NFL on Fox" announcer traded "I dos" with Michelle Beisner -- who cheered for the Denver Broncos before becoming a TV personality. She currently works as a field reporter for the NFL Network.

As for the wedding, it all went down in Cabo ... and Joe's booth buddy Troy Aikman was there to witness the whole thing. (The woman in the photo below is their friend Juliana Roberts).

Joe has 2 kids from his first marriage ... which ended in 2011.

Joe and Michelle reportedly hit it off during the Super Bowl in New Orleans back in Feb. 2013 -- and the rest, as they say, is history.

Congrats!

8:00 PM PT -- Smith was released after posting $20k bail.

5:59 PM PT -- Smith has been booked on one count of "false report of a bomb threat."

If convicted, Smith faces up to one year behind bars.

5:31 PM PT -- Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports ... Aldon appeared to be drunk at the time of the incident.

San Francisco 49ers superstar Aldon Smith was just arrested at LAX after allegedly yelling "bomb" in the airport terminal ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Either LeSean McCoy's son is the most BALLER 2-year-old on the planet ... or the Philadelphia Eagles superstar just took a shot at Tim Tebow ... either way, you gotta watch this clip.

McCoy was at LAX last night, when we asked who he thought was the most talented NFL player without a team -- like Tebow or Vince Young.

His response: "Tim Tebow??? My son is 2 ... I'd take my son over Tim Tebow."

We asked LeSean if he was already training his son to follow in his NFL footsteps -- when he told us he ONLY wants his kid to play football if his son wants to ... "It's his decision." Pretty cool, right?

McCoy couldn't have been nicer -- and talked about everything from the biggest star in Philly (Will Smith or Stallone?) to how he thinks his ex-teammate DeSean Jackson will do in D.C.

Another day, another HUGE financial problem for Terrell Owens ... this time, the former NFL superstar has been hit with a MASSIVE tax bill for allegedly failing to pony up nearly $250k in 2012.

U.S. soccer stud Alexi Lalas says he's worked things out with his pet pooch -- after dining on dog during a trip to South Korea.

The former Team USA member -- who's now an analyst for ESPN and ABC Sports -- was announcing a match earlier this year when he admitted to chowing down on man's best friend.

So, when we saw him at LAX on Friday, we had to ask ... did he look at his own pet any differently when he got back from his trip?
