Fuck the ultimate warrior…

If I was given the choice of a taker 22-0 and warriors life….that ninja would of been died Sunday morning

In terms of sadness…

21-1 > warriors death

 

Pretty shocking that Warrior just died, considering he was just inducted into the hall of fame over the weekend, then followed it up by appearing on Raw last night. Just like many of the hall of fame inductees, his sudden love for WWE was a joke though. The guy was certifiable in real life; beyond a right wing nut-job. Watch any one of his recent youtube videos, or some of the college speeches he did. Not to mention WWE’s revisionist history as of late when it comes to him and his character. Just a few years back they put out a video shitting all over the guy, entitled “The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior”. They called him everything from the worst promo man in the business, to the least professional guy in the history of wrestling. When he agreed to get back in bed with them to cash in on Warrior merchandise all that miraculously changed and he became this great guy and icon again. I love HHH’s “Icon and friend” tweet. HHH was prominently featured in The Self Destruction video, saying Warrior was the worst person he ever worked with in his wrestling career. Now all of the sudden he’s a friend. Seems identical to the way WWE treated Brett Hart, until of course Brett nearly begged his way back into the fold to preserve his legacy. The Ultimate Warrior was cool in the mid to late 80’s, and it’s sad the person behind it died, but in some ways it’s the perfect ending. Having Warrior appear now, and pressing up a ton of Warrior merch and garbage would have just fucked that legacy up. Look at Hogan. Although, WWE will probably fuck it up anyway. His daughters and wife will want that money.

He was 54…. I thought he was older somehow. He looked TOW-UP for being 54yrs. old. The life’ll do that to ya I guess. I’d hate to find out that his death was related to any kind of “celebration” after his induction because it happened pretty damn close to being right after that.

Sucks to be losing our heroes.

By the way, WWE DID actually sign Sting prior to Undertaker losing his streak.

Sting is now part of WWE. Don’t know when he’ll debut, but he is signed with WWE now.

Perhaps a Taker and Sting for Taker’s last match?

Didn’t know they had that chance and they should have. I’m a Heyman guy.

I’ve went to a TNA show once. Very empty. They only used half of the arena and even then they couldn’t fill it up. So they made everybody sit on one side.

But, yeah, I guess Lesnar injured him pretty bad. At least half of the match was just Lesnar guiding him through it because he got a concussion and wasn’t 100% aware of where he was at.

As a very young fan of WWF in the 80’s, I loved the Ultimate Warrior…….probably just as much as I loved Hogan. I do remember being really puzzled by the promos he gave though. Hogan’s were easy to follow, while Warrior just rambled. Not to mention he was a terrible wrestler. The guy had less moves than Hogan, which is truly saying something. Like many other young wrestling fans, I stopped watching a lot of wrestling through the early 90’s, but picked it back up in 96′ or so. Just in time to see Warrior come back into WWF, then WCW. Can’t remember exactly what his storylines were in WWF, but much like most things in WCW, his run there was just terrible. I had a few friends that liked WCW, but I tried watching their programming once or twice and immidiately realized it was garbage. Very similar to what TNA offers. Other than the NWO, what drew anyone to watching WCW?

I always either wanted to be Kevin Nash or Undertaker.
