The Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior
I just watched the ad for the Self Destruction of Ultimate Warrior DVD, and I can't wait to pick this up.
Ever since I was a kid, I never liked the Warrior. A LOT of people liked him, but me and my brother never did. I especially didn't like him when he defeated Randy Savage in a "retirement" match. Hey, I was a kid, Savage was my favorite wrestler, and I thought wrestling was real. My brother is a big Hogan fan, and he still cringes when he sees clips of the Warrior beating Hogan for the title at WM 6. Anyway, he was just so damn goofy and weird.
So, I'm watching this clip and it starts off pretty normal, and then bam! Hogan, McMahon, Heenan, Okerlund, Helmsley, Bischoff, and JR are all there just letting the Warrior have it. Hogan called him a cartoon. Helmsley said the Warrior was the most unprofessional wrestler he ever worked with. Heenan said that no one wanted to be around him. And Vince McMahon said he couldn't wait to fire him. I know that WWE went ahead with a negative portrayal of the Warrior when Warrior didn't want to participate in the DVD, but even so, this type of DVD couldn't be more of a dream come true for people like myself and my brother.
A lot of people will probably be pissed (especially Warrior fans), but I for one can't wait to pick up a copy. If you haven't seen the clip yet, go to WWE.com, and the video is on the home page.
