0:32 The Ultimate Warrior already practicing the lines and catchphrases he would later use in the WWF!
He (and Sting) already shook the ropes too.
You can hear the power of the warrior growing.
What????
Dextrucity at it’s finest!
My Two Favorites of all time!!!
Also amazing is that both BladeRunners were world champions at the same time (Ultimate Warrior at WWF and Sting at NWA/WCW).
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Exactly! It’s too bad as well we never got to see them square off against each other at the heights of their popularity either! That would have been huge box office!!
Look at the size of Warrior!!!! Absolutely Unreal!
Warrior sounds like me tryin to crank up an old Homelite chainsaw I used to have.
Crazy. Thats sting! I miss the early 80s WWF days
Blade runners was a great gimmick.
Blade runners had a great theme.
That growling Hellwig was doing. 😆
Yeah looks like Warrior was still trying to find his footing. Sounded like the noises a man will make when he pays a woman to spank him.
The steroids were brewing! 😂
@@russellleblanc1539 why pay? Most women would do that for free for a cheap laugh. So would most guys come to that, except some might get carried away.
JR seemed incredibly enthusiastic there!
LOLOLOL
Corporate Jim Ross
Damn sting was kinda rocking the crow paint back then
Just without the white background.
0:01 that is Jim Ross what he looks like before start of his illness. keep in mind as the 90s progress jim Ross had Bell’s palsy however even with his illness did triggered him it did not stop him from commentating matches and he still does it today
Having grown up on Mid South wrestling, I was excited for them! I thought they were a breath of fresh air for the territory the likes of we never saw before! We NEEDED a tag team like them---when everyone else was flipping them the bird coming out of the dressing room at the Myriad Center in Oklahoma City, I stood up and CHEERED for them! History would prove me right, they would individually become a force to be reckoned with and legends in wrestling!
Best promo the Warrior ever did!!
Imagine the Blade Runners vs The Road Warriors
The legendary blade runners🤟🏻
Juiced to the freaking gills! 😆
This was the day i was born.
Warrior is HUGE. Goddamn.
One would realize how ill prepared he was for pro wrestling and became a very astute student of the sport. The other became the Ultimate Warrior.
Bladerunner Rock looks like he could give The Ultimate Warrior a run for his money! (/s)
Sting with the gyno.
I swear, with that facepaint, and Hellwig's growling, these 2 guys should have been MEGA-OOOOOVVVEEERRRRRR.
Massive!
U know we all recognize that growl lol
Ho Kogan snaaaaaarrlll
Blade runner was a great movie
My favorite.
Sting and Ultimate Warrior as tag team heels back then.
Sting and the Ultimate Warrior they were a great tag team
I feel sorry for DiBiase too, having to get in the ring with Warrior when he was that green.
That probably hurt like hell
My snot was never that green
When WASN'T he that green? He never wanted to learn.
@@KnickKnack07 he wasn’t that bad, just lazy. When he wanted to go he could
I assume the current ironic fashionable internet opinion is to say the Ultimate Warrior was shit at promos or something.
Hellwig sounds like his future self in the later years to come.
Rock and Sting - The Blade Runners, formerly The Freedom Fighters, formerly Power Team USA......
the bladerunners were cool, and had a total combined weight of 548.
Warrior/Rock looks taller than usual
Bad Taste yea cuz if I’m not mistaken he was actually only 6’1” just barely pushing 6’2 and sting was actually or is actually 6’3”
Eddie Gilbert was a little guy,
@@watchmyepics He was 6.2 and I'm pretty sure Sting was actually 6.3
Wrong. My brothers and I met him in 1990 zl.a Sports Arena. My brother is 6ft tall and was deffinately, at keast 2 - 3 inches shorter than Warrior. Warrior was peaking at 6ft 3, and Sting nevar saw 6ft 2. Look at all the face to face with Wartior in 98, then at Warrior with Rude and Hogan, then look at Sting face to face with them. @@watchmyepicsWarrior was always taller than Sting. Warrior never wore lifts in Wwf or wcw.
And then Eddie died.
What was that noise behind the video previews from the middle to the end? Couldn't tell.
Not going to lie, the Warrior actually looks pretty good with short hair there. One thing I always wondered was if Sting and him were getting paid so poorly, how did they afford their 💊💉?
Hotstuff took these unknowns and turned them into stars
For the most part, yes. When they debuted at CWA as Freedom Fighters, they didn't get the help they needed. Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert helped get them over as heels and become known. Rock went on to become the Dingo Warrior in Texas then Ultimate Warrior in WWF, and Sting of course became a mega-babyface after Hot Stuff screwed him over - which makes sense because Sting was NATURALLY a good guy, just green but learning.
Sting on roids
Glad sting got off the juice
What kinda drugs was warrior on anyways?!?! No way in hell hes not and I ain't talking about roids or hgh 😂😂😂
Coke
@@smarkslowplay3512 Maybe but it was expensive in the 80s he prob didn't have the money lol
Sting could wrestle great his tag partner not so much
At the time they were both slow learners, but Sting WANTED to learn, and Ultimate Warrior thought he knew enough, ala Hulk Hogan, to be who they needed him to be.
Steroids shorten his life.
Sounds like the noises a man will make when he pays a online woman to spank him. Grrr who's a bad boy.. lolololol
Sting looks tiny next to warrior ha
Not really they both big warrior is bigger tho
your little video advertisements ruin the video at the end.
Yeah, the last 20 seconds of a 63 second video is way too much
Boy, anyone with muscles thinks that's all they need to be a great wrestler. Look at those two guys. Muscles on top of muscles, but they can't even talk. I don't know what happened to these two, but it's pretty obvious that they had no future as professional wrestlers.
Ah, sarcasm...
This so wasnt Sting lol
It actually was. He and Ultimate Warrior were tag-team partners as Freedom Fighters then, after going heel, The BladeRunners. In 1990, they were both world champions at the same time for WWF and NWA/WCW.
Its sting and warrior, not the rock
His name was Rock when he was with the Blade Runners.
yeah ok pal
Rock and Flash.... Or Warrior and Sting or Sting and Rock or Warrior and Flash 🤔... decisions decisions
They were Rock and Flash first before they became Warrior and Sting
