EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 For him to tell everyone in WWE that they are bashing him because they are jealous of him, well thats just flat out stupid. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I don't know if they're jealous of him but, you can bet if Warrior DID play ball with Vince this DVD would have been very different.

Guest JMA Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Warrior is one of the few people in the wrestling business that deserves to be buried. In addition to being a shitty worker and talker, he's also a shitty human being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 There's no doubt Warrior had an ax to grind beforehand and is generally a rotten individual who may deserve some of this stuff, but I'm still with him on general principle. WWE's current 'bury/hinder everyone who isn't on our side' mentality is completely ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Isn't calling Droz a cripple and Todd a queer a little unnessesary? And if he doesn't follow WWE and doesn't care, how in God's name does he know who Todd Grisham even is? And for someone who's only been in the ring for him for 5 minutes, Trips sure did get a lot of slandering to him. Unless Triple H did equally as much slandering, then I suppose it's fair game.

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Bobby Hennan comments aside, I also was a little shocked that he called Droz "the cripple" ... whether or not Droz would still have a job if that incident would not have happened, who's to say, but referring to him as such is quite tasteless. Edit: Me and CC nearly on the same boat, posted at nearly the same time. Oh well, you paddle, my arms are tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krankor 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Warrior talks about karma with Heenan, then he calls Droz a cripple. Someday the roids will catch up with him. There's your karma warrior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godthedog 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 anybody else get the feeling that helwig is horribly insecure about his body, and has some kind of deep-seated fear of disfigurement as a threat to his manhood? he goes out of his way to call people out on their physical ailments just because they have physical ailments. "hey droz, you're a CRIPPLE!!!~! hey bobby heenan, you're DYING!!!!~!" there's the implication somewhere in there that each of them is less of a person for having that. it goes beyond bullying into something just weirdly self-directed. we need to stop spreading rumors on the net that warrior is just batshit, and start talking about how insecure and fragile his sense of self is. this is not only a better explanation, but it's more likely to prompt an obsessively long, inflated and insecure response on his website.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Aside from the comments toward Drozdov and Grisham, I have no problem with what he said. Hell, I found it absolutely hilarious and justifiable for how Vince treated their respective DVD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His facial features also support this (barely any facial hair, lack of change in structure due to use of HGH). ----------- More from the Warrior post.... Relax. Warrior is here. There seems to be some anxiety and confusion running about. Let me squash it. First, nobody speaks for me. I am capable of speaking for myself. And if I have anything to say -- I will say it here at Warrior Web. ONLY Warrior speaks for Warrior. Got that? Good. Don't forget it. I just got back from a fishing trip down around New Orleans. Fishing is exceptionally good down there right now. More in a Warrior Web Post about my politically-incorrect trip in a day or so. You'll enjoy it, I promise. Just back, I have been informed of an invitation that has been made -- and that someone else has allegedly responded on my behalf. Again: ONLY Warrior speaks for Warrior. I will further investigate about who spoke fraudulently on my behalf and get back to you with what I discover. About the WWE DVD release, many of you are hungry for more of my thoughts, especially since the release of the trailer. I already put down a small (great) piece of my mind, but let me make a couple more comments to entertain, inspire and also deflect the disappointment of those sadly let down by the vindictiveness of Vince and his band of jealous, insecure thumb- and penis-suckers he calls talent. Just as I called it, the more the industry goes negative, the more they show up in droves over here at Warrior Web to find out the truth. It really is a study in human behavior that individual by individual, without fail, can spend 15 minutes digging around at my site and find no evidence of “self-destructive” behavior and literally come away shocked by what the truth is vs the for-years-running mischaracterizations, but WWE, with its millions of dollars, its hundreds of employees and its disturbing obsessive attention to a talent that has not worked for them for nearly 10 years, hasn’t even stumbled upon a tiny pebble of reality. I’ve tried to be humble, telling you all that "I just don’t get it." But let’s eighty-six the modesty. No one is that stupid. Neither is the answer complicated: Vince McMahon is bitter and wants revenge. Not because I self-destructed, but because I’ve succeeded on my own terms outside his own insular world. Right now I don’t intend to watch the DVD, but I can be sure that many of the thousands who come around here will rush to provide me the details. As I said, even now some of you are doing this, having already picked up the DVD at local Wal-Mart's. I did receive the trailer, but my Macintosh didn’t give me any picture, only the audio. It was obvious that even this little teaser is all lies born out of jealousy. Let me correct just a few. Your memory isn't too good, Vince. But over 30,000 documents (yes, 30,000) from the litigation discovery help tell the true story. How about even your deposition tapes, Vince? Now there’s a shoot video. And Linda’s. And Doug Sages’s, and Pat Patterson’s, and Brucie Pritchard’s, and Dr. DiPasquale’s, and Davey Boy’s and a dozen or so others. How about in ‘98 -- considering that, now, you hold all these ridiculous fantasizes that you always couldn’t wait to “fire” me -- when you sent me a middle-of-the-night fax offering me, alone, more money than nearly all the rest of the roster? Sent to me in the middle of our lawsuit and just before I went to WCW, no less. You don’t remember? The document does, Vince. What about when you barked to a mutual acquaintance in the winter of ’95 “I wouldn’t pay him a God Damn nickel to come back,” but you very soon after that broke open your piggy bank to the tune of an unprecedented upfront seven figures? Oh, the real story still to be told. It’s delicious. Even more tasty now that you are laying your side of the story down. No, Vince, you definitely meant “hire.” And it’s what you mean, now. It’s what you’re trying to do and it’s the fix you need to have -- oh, man, you want oh so bad. Like a junkie, you gotta have it and you'll go to all desperate lengths to get it. You live for the Pop, the rush, the jacked-up juice of the crowd, Vince, and you know that whatever pop Hogan received all around the country bringing his phony, crippled act back to the ring, Ultimate Warrior would outdo at immeasurable decibels. ONLY Ultimate Warrior. But. But after all the roars of all the crowds at all the arenas, then it would be time for you to get your real nut. Isn’t that true, Vince? After every single, last cent is squeezed out of every cheap-ass piece of merchandise fans don’t really need, you’d go to work like a surgeon who performs extreme makeover jobs. But instead of improving, you destroy. But it’s not enough for you to destroy just the character of the persona, you have to destroy the character of the person, the man, the human being. Isn’t this true, Vince? A talent OWES you that much because, after all, you MADE their life. You and you alone gave them their identity, their ability to exist. They’d have nothing and be nothing if it wasn’t for you. Right, Vince? Sadly, Vince, the real Hall of Fame for you is not about WWE providing a home of respectful memory for the personas who worked there. It is a sick trophy case for you to show off the personal characters you destroy and the people you own. During those years I was there, the agents used to spend an inordinate amount of time in the locker room telling the talent how your Dad was a man’s man, a real man with real class, that he could wear overalls and you’d still know he had class. About you, they’d say, the finest suit money can buy wouldn’t cover up your own lack of it. They were serious. They were right. And nothing has changed. You still don’t have any class. All of the success, wealth and power brought you none. And no amount of all this that you do have will ever be enough for you to OWN me. But I, Vince, OWN a little piece of you. Don’t I, Vince? The DVD admits it to the world. Alone, looking in the mirror, till your dying day, the passionate, intense and intelligent man who came, created and drove the legend of The Ultimate Warrior deep into the hearts and souls of millions of fans and then walked away from it all on his OWN terms will forever own a piece of your psyche. And, Vince -- you will never forget that I am that man. Hell, Paul, own up little, puffy man. You tried to replicate everything about me. So what you used a few more wrestling moves. Nobody cares and even fewer will remember. It was the Ultimate Warrior intensity and look you strove for. You knew this was the ticket. It became your mission. You even took up a serious interest in bodybuilding and began rubbing your very narrow shoulders with famous bodybuilders, like doing this would make you more of a real bodybuilder like I once was and, you prayed, more like an Ultimate Warrior. Difference is, Paul, it didn’t work. Ironically, your bodybuilder friends are some of the same guys who used to ask for me for training advice when WWF came through town and we’d train at The Mecca, THE Gold’s Gym in Venice, CA. Yet we can be sure -- they don’t ask you. It’s a good thing Vince backed off the drug testing as he did because without them you wouldn’t have made muscle grade enough for the real freaks to even let you be one of their friends. BTW, to get rid of the puffy look, get off the GH and train hard. Yeah, that’s right -- train hard. Your body tells us all that you train like a twat and rely most on your “sports supplements.” Can we ask, Jimmie, just how many tickets have been sold to people to come and sit in an arena for a wrestling card just so they can see you? NOT ONE. That’s how many. Don’t even need a damn calculator to do that math. Guys like me who have what it takes to make a persona work pay your bar-b-q bill, Jimmie. Your fat ass and your silly ten gallon cowboy hat were on the plane to the next city on the tour because TOP TALENT like me performing Ultimate Warrior bought your ticket. You seem to forget that there was once a “better” day when talent didn’t need their hands held, noses blown or picked, and their asses wiped, especially by a drooling gotta-get-closer-to-those-sweaty-wrestling-bodies feminine cowboy like you. Great talent knew what to do and did it, and they didn’t run crying to numb-nut writers and out-of-control, head-tripping, power freak babysitters like yourself. You, Jimmie, are the one who needs to get a grip, not I. When I talk about the great career of the Ultimate Warrior, I do so with the authority of millions of minds filled with the great, on-the-record memories. Yet when you criticize it, your authority comes only from the fact that you have a cubicle at WWE offices and it has gone to your head. You’ve been sniffing too many of your own bean farts, Jimmie. The best I can say about you is that you remind of a sodomized Ned Beatty squealing like a pig in Deliverance. How weirdly well it fits, too. You being so into bar-b-q as you are and Vince being into porking others as he has long done. My question: you still squeal after all these years, Jimmie? Wherever your problem about me arises from we may never find out -- after all, up there in Stamford the truth doesn’t rank too high on the to-do list. But one thing is for damn sure and the DVD proves it. It is your unsubstantiated opinions about me and your non-objective animus toward me that are delusional and insane. Ah, hell, that’s enough fun for now. In the next couple of weeks I’ll know more and will say more -- maybe even cut a rough rebuttal DVD. Just bring in a camera crew and let it rip. Maybe, no promises. I may just decide to be done with it... I’ve heard there are so many others on this thing. Hogan, Dibiase, Lawler, Bischoff, Slaughter, Patterson, and even some of the new, talentless, uncharismatic punks -- All these eunuchs have done me a huge favor in some ways. Of course, about whether or not there is any legitimate slander, I will hold off and legally find out. But it really is a great cultural illustration of how deviantly dumbed down mentoring and masculinity have become. And, interestingly enough, engaging these serious ideas is what propels me in the career interests I have today. As for you young kids up there at WWE jumping on the bandwagon mocking the Ole’ Warriorman along with everyone else, let me give you a piece of manly, mature life advice. It's obvious none of the perverted, adolescent old-timers are giving you any. I am always conscious of giving you young guys a break whenever I express criticisms about the storylines and creative direction in the business. I figure you are dumb and naive and still figuring out your philosophy of life, so I am not as hard on you for your youthful behaviors. Maybe one day you'll come around. Maybe not and you’ll just turn out like all the other grown men who are letting you down. We will all see. But you’ll want to keep in mind, that I stand up and defend my integrity in person just as seriously as I do when I write about it. It’s not a work. And it’d be to your misfortune if I was traveling through some airport in this country one day and happened to see you standing there surrounded by little sexpot groupies and adoring fans, and I just took it upon myself to approach you, not to pick a fight but to ask you to explain your ridicule of me, and suddenly you couldn’t speak and started to go to the bathroom all over yourself. Let me tell you from my own life experiences, there’s nothing so intimidating and embarrassing as another human being who can kick your ass with their mind. Take it from a guy who made quiet a success out of throwing his muscle around, and learned this lesson the hard way. You know, when I was really "getting it" in the business, truth is, ALL you young guys were huge Ultimate Warrior fans. Everyone of you. (Even that punk Goldberg let this cat out of the bag and then cowardly tried to put it back in.) Now that you get meal tickets from Vince, it’s risky to say so. I understand -- I don’t respect it, but I understand. Yet instead of being one of those who just fall in line thinking all the disrespect and ridicule is funny, you might just want to use your own mind to make your own decisions, hold your tongue, not say anything at all. Because, you see, I am sorta old-fashioned about many things. One of those things is that a person should never be afraid to defend their integrity, especially when they have it. I do. And another thing is that young people should have both manners and respect for their elders, especially when they are deserving of it. I am. So, when you disrespect me, you leave me with no other choice, being the grown, adult man I am, but to embarrass you like a childish fool if I was to cross paths with you. And if you thought Ultimate Warrior as a physical thing was so intense it made you an awe-struck, speechless kid, you’re not going to be any less awe-struck and speechless when I give you a piece of my mind with the same kind of intensity. Well, now, I’ve gone and done it again. Damn if I haven’t. This delusional, insane, dumb, muscle-headed former wrestler has scrawled another classic masterpiece.

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 I've seen sane people write some crazy shit like warrior writes...and yes he may have a screw loose. But I say..who doesn't? Only thing Warrior lacks is the fear of saying what he thinks might ruffle a few feathers. Good for him that he responded, but I think it'd be cool if instead of inviting him to a small internet show like byte this...you know wwe actually showed some balls and gave him an open mic at the end of the Homecoming since they want to bring back all their "superstars" and champions. Let him respond on the dvds and accusations. Put all the guys who hated Warrior and "wanted to destroy him" or "break his leg" in a ring with him and see if they still want to destroy them as he tears them down. Then I'll record it and replay it ten times until I understand what he said about each one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And another thing is that young people should have both manners and respect for their elders, especially when they are deserving of it. I am. So, when you disrespect me, you leave me with no other choice, being the grown, adult man I am, but to embarrass you like a childish fool if I was to cross paths with you. And if you thought Ultimate Warrior as a physical thing was so intense it made you an awe-struck, speechless kid, you’re not going to be any less awe-struck and speechless when I give you a piece of my mind with the same kind of intensity. Well, now, I’ve gone and done it again. Damn if I haven’t. This delusional, insane, dumb, muscle-headed former wrestler has scrawled another classic masterpiece.

Guest rawmvp Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Oh, and you know, I don't think, that if I were Warrior, I would've been so forthright and scurrilous regarding Heenan, but Heenan did come off quite bitter on the DVD. Case in point: He says Warrior had no friends, nobody liked him, and nobody wanted to be around him AFTER Hogan mentioned that everybody, including himself, liked Jim. Hmmmmm...

David Blazenwing 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 WWE, with its millions of dollars, its hundreds of employees and its disturbing obsessive attention to a talent that has not worked for them for nearly 10 years... Who are they talking about? I would think Warrior, but they haven't done anything on him until now, I would hardly call that obsessive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ransome Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Given how WWE has recently tried to capitalise on supposed real life 'shoot' situations (with JBL/Meanie and Hardy/Edge) and JR's onscreen mention of the Ultimate Warrior turning down Byte This, I actually think WWE would jump at the opportunity of bringing him back on WWE TV for a worked shoot after these bizzare, insane rants. It's refreshing to see a former star lash out so fearlessly against the company, it would just be nicer if an former superstar who can actually put together a coherent argument would be the one doing it, and refrain from the insults ("you still squeal after all these years, Jimmie?") which detract from Warrior's actual valid points.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 I like the part where Warrior talks about how if he was brought back, his pop would dwarf Hogan's. Riiiiiiight.

I bet half of the WWE audience doesn't even know or remember how the Ultimate Warrior is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're crazy if you think that. I'd gather he'd get a huge pop. Bigger then Hogan's in Toronto? Doubtful. Certainly bigger than anyone holding a world title on their roster, however. And much bigger then the ones Hogan's getting now. Fans knew Jake the Snake and not UW? Please... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 There's no doubt Warrior had an ax to grind beforehand and is generally a rotten individual who may deserve some of this stuff, but I'm still with him on general principle. WWE's current 'bury/hinder everyone who isn't on our side' mentality is completely ridiculous. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's true, just look what they've done recently to guys like the Dudleys and Justin Credible. Warrior was a crappy worker, and probably not the best guy to know, but I give him props for calling WWE on its crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jester 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Watching Jim Helwiggy and Vince McMahon piss on each other is a little like watching Hitler and Stalin have a fistfight. You're not sure whether you should cheer or boo, so you just sort of hope they do as much damage to each other as possible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Helwig and McMahon's pissing contest isn't anything close or similar to Hitler and Stalin having a fistfight. Stop being an idiot and making horrible analogies. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, actually comparing a wrestler and a wrestling promoter to two of the greatest mass murderers is perfectly valid, and in no way an exagerration. Keep it civil please. If you find my comments to be in poor taste, say so. I can appreciate why. Don't call me an idiot. I will extend the same courtesy to you.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Aside from the comments toward Drozdov and Grisham, I have no problem with what he said. Hell, I found it absolutely hilarious and justifiable for how Vince treated their respective DVD's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So it's Ok to make fun of a guy's colostomy bag but not Ok to call another guy 'queer'? Interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redbaron29 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 Oh look. Two of the biggest egomaniacs bickering. While most of the time Warrior sounds wacked, and he does sound very into himself here. He really hits home with his ponts here. The DVD itself looks like a freaking train wreck, which means its gonna do awesome with the IWC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaertos 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 I read this whole thread trying to understand why anyone would be supporting everything Warrior said. Then I suddenly, finally understood it. Warrior is an Internet Smark. He doesn't like WWE, Vince, the current crop of wrestlers and spends a lot of time dumping on HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
