"I'm sorry he's dead but that doesn't change who he was in life"
That... is a GREAT quote.
Stephen Joens he never said he did? lmao
@Stephen Joens he never said Jim invented it idiot
@Stephen Joens I never said it was
@Stephen Joens if you think it's not a great quote well that's your opinion
@Stephen Joens again that's your opinion
I love how people keep asking Jim about the warrior just to keep pissing him off
And b/c dude is a fuckin space cadet and a therapeutic laugh
Young Bucks, LMAO
Pissed off Jim is always gold
How long and how often have you been listening to Corny? I’m jw
@Michael Bootlegger he's way smarter than you
I believe "Destrusity" was destiny, truth, and intensity... but I like Jim's interpretation better.
Destrucity in the few times it was written/printed, odd there was a "c" in it. Lol
Its destiny, truce and reality. Making truce between your current reality (by accepting what it is) and your destiny, and after coming to peace with that, working towards the future to become what you are supposed to be, the best version of your self.

@@patrickbateman9947 What a fucking weirdo he was
Sounds like a brand for engine oil.
And jet-jacked and FOCED.
warrior would sell his brand of self-help/personal motivation like crazy if the internet was around back then.
He kinda did later on with his lectures and youtube videos about empowerment and bettering yourself etc.
He could also have become secretary of state under Trump.
".. he's the female Sable" Best line ever lmao 😂😂😂
“She had a questionable start in life”
That comment illustrates perfectly why Corny couldn't run a successful wrestling promotion. He wouldn't have hired Sable, and he would've missed out of millions of revenue and media exposure, all for the purity of the industry. doesn't make sense, running a business means you have to make business decisions. Sable and Warrior were great business decisions at one point.
He actually had talent and actually had charisma unlike Sable
SABLE never Was entertaining in the Ring, even the greatest fake tit fan apart from vonce fiind her boring. Warrior hype Was real among majority of fans
listening to Jim dish on Warrior made me look up some older matches with him, and yeah, it's really noticable that his entire moveset was like: jump on the ropes and salute the crowd/slap/clothesline/jump on the ropes and salute the crowd/pick someone up & drop them/stomp feet/pose/jump on the ropes and salute the crowd.. no technique w/grabs, holds or reversals whatsoever.
It was all hype. I remember being a kid with an older brother that loved testing out holds and submissions on me lol Even as kids we would look at Ultimate Warriors moves like he was weak. We preferred our NWA tapes.
He was also sloppy AF. He was hurting Andre night after night until Andre had enough of it and KO'ed warrior. If you want to see something truly atrocious find an unedited copy of the Wrestlemania 5 Warrior/Rude match. In the unedited version there's a spot where Warrior gives Rude a back breaker. It appears that Warrior attempts to pick Rude back up for another back breaker in show of strength. Unfortunately Warrior is so blown up that when he tries to pick Rude back up again he loses his balance and stumbles sideways into the ropes and they both fall out of the ring.
They edited the spot out of the Wrestlemania video but for some reason the match was put on an Ultimate warrior video unedited.
@@AWX_Wrestling lol, looking at that match now. oof. It's so weird how his whole shtick was ignoring the other wrestlers. he just lumbers around the ring like a drunk dad looking for the tv remote.
None that mattered though, it's easy to look back with rose tinted mark glasses but Warrior was a global megastar in the late 80s/early 90s. The only guy who came close to toppling Hogan in his prime. I even remember Summerslam 1992 in London most the people wearing Warrior merch in the crowd and he arguably got the biggest pop of the night next to Davey Boy winning the IC Belt. Sure he was lousy in the ring but he made WWE a lot of money and he was the gateway for many fans into pro-wrestling in the early 90s, especially here in Europe. It's the same criticisms I saw later on with Goldberg in WCW, put it this way, millions of people weren't tuning into WCW in the late 90s to watch Dean Malenko.
@@PeaceDweller Dean Malenko LOL!
Destrucity: The Gary Busey of professional wrestling.
Coyote Duran I enjoyed him greatly in Predator 2.
@@WingsofHistory, hey, not to mention "Point Break"! That's a terrific Busey film!
Except Gary Busey was likeable.
Gary Busey fucked his brain up in a motorcycle crash though.
I have the same birthday as Gary Busey
The one thing that has been consistent in Ultimate Warrior's death is how people felt about him.
Those that loved him, still love him. Those that hated him, still hate him. No one is being fake about their emotions and I love it.
This concludes my TED talk.
Dude was a piece of crap as a person, but people like Corny go too far. He was absolutely a draw. Warrior got hotter than 95% of wrestlers that ever entered the business, you could count on two hands the number of wrestlers that hit or exceeded his heights, the list is short.
@@Jukeboxster regardless of how popular he was with fans, he was almost universally hated by guys in the business. Go back and watch his matches and trust me the nostalgia wears off. I loved him as a kid and I think all kids that watched wrestling did too but going back and watching him now, he was awful to watch. His look was 90% of his appeal. If he came on to the scene now, he wouldn’t be anywhere near as big because wrestling has moved on and the only chance they would have of pushing him would be to the younger audience and I don’t think kids nowadays would be impressed because they’ve got to see sooooo much better talent than we did back then. The appeal of the face paint and neon colours would wear off very quickly too. Plenty more talented wrestlers have done it since and you need more than that to get over nowadays.
@@daviddee9336 i'm not making any argument about how he'd do today, just how he did back then. Also, back then WWF was a kid's product, it doesn't take an amazing move set to satisfy a kid, today it's much more of an adolescent product.
@@Jukeboxster yeah I agree with you there man. I think his appeal came from their target audience the same way Hogan’s did albeit Hogan was the biggest thing ever at the time. He could obviously wrestle too and he transcended the entire sport. Hogan also reinvented himself with the NWO and then stayed relevant for years after but with warrior he never seemed to get any better or change anything up other than the designs of face paints. It’s tough to judge because it was a different time but could you see Hogan or warrior getting over now like they did then? For me, the attitude era highlighted a shift in the demographic with Stone Cold and The Rock getting over with more edgy content. Nowadays it seems to be a bit more about the in ring product but again, that’s just my view on it.
@@daviddee9336 The guys in the bussiness dont buy tickets.
I went to Warrior university and it never did me any harm. I've had a successful career working the deep fat fryer in McDonalds for the last 25 years.....
@Stephen Joens I owe all my success to the Ultimate Warrior now i'm going back to read my comic where warrior rapes Santa.
@Stephen Joens r/whoosh!

“I’m sorry he’s dead, but that doesn’t change who he was when he was alive” FACTS 💯
@Rex84 stay out of grown folks business
@Rex84 once again, keep your mouth shut when grown folks are talking. Go sit in the corner, and wait for the school bus, little boy.
Yep, and Cornette will still be remembered as being a total ass after he dies.
Nice editing on the expletives in the actual sentence lol
I think Warrior's divorce from sanity is because he met some sort of monster from Lovecraft mythology and was trying to warn us in his promos of what lurks beneath the sea.
I love the art of Corny reading a warrior comic book.
Warrior drew money, but he was a POS. Bret Hart told a story about Warrior making a Make A Wish cancer kid wait 4 hours outside his dressing room, then Warrior decided not to see him because he was "too tired"
That reminds me of Stan by Eminem except in real life. Though that is quite depressing.
Yeah I read that story in Bret's book. The kid was pretty much on his death bed. I think he was brought to the arena on a gurney. It was his dying wish to meet his favorite wrestler the ultimate warrior and warrior wouldn't come out to meet the kid. Disgusting.
As much as I'm not a John Cena fan I respect the hell out of him for everything he does with make-a-wish.
I would very much like to learn that some of the boys slapped the taste out of Warrior’s mouth for doing that to a dying kid. But I’m certain it didn’t happen.
The Ultimate Douchebag. Warrior has done everything you expect from any POS in just one lifetime.
Alot of wrestlers are assholes. Not sure why Warrior always gets called out for it .
Jim Cornette oughta be a voice actor! The way he said "eennnhhh..." Man I could feel his disappointment and hopelessness all around me! Warrior specific of course! ☝🏾😂
Musclemen aside, Vince was the only one who had the resources and the patience to make something of Warrior anyway.
I love how in Jr's version Bruce isn't there, and it Bruce's version JR wasn't there, but Cornette's version does include all of them
I picture the warrior explaining destrucity and everyone being the meme with the question mark guy
Surprised you don’t know Nick Young lmao
Swagggy ppppppppp
3:07 "I didn't understand a goddam word this f**kin guy's said all day, is he outta his f**kin mind?"
That line kills me every time.
"History tells us, Hogan, that a man's legacy is built from the premise that within his life, the moments lived, once lived, become a piece of his history."
A pissing awful comment if ever there was.
@@kelman727 He will be remembered far longer than you ever will.
@@N0Camping4U for all the wrong reasons 😂😂
Huge Warrior fan as a kid, but JC's tone when he called him a prick was great
It's rare to find someone who has something nice to say about The Ultimate Warrior (except Sting), but he was iconic and will always be a wrestling legend.
His WCWFanForever interview was very candid and serious with almost no going off the grid for him - which is kind of a rarity in his case. If you haven't seen it yet, Google it on that website. It's about 19 minutes and well spoken by him. R.I.P. Warrior
Steve Lombardi, Owen Hart, Davey Boy, Kerry von Erich were friendly/pals of Warrior. Sherri said he was fine to work with during the Savage/Warrior program
@@smarkslowplay3512 I saw the Sensational Sherri interview on the Warrior. She gave him props for his respect and professionalism toward her
Totally agree as a 9 year old kid I found him brilliaint
@@Pastyrocco1981 nothing brilliant about him. All sizzle, little steak
Imagine Jim’s face when Warrior said the word ‘destrucity’
Probably the first time he made his famous facial expression.
I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall for that.
I used to think The Warrior was super cool and rooted for him instead of Hogan in 1990. I was also 14 years old.
A liberal calling a conservative a nut is like Jeffery Dahmer calling someone a killer lol
“He was the s h it s, he never tried to get any better, he was exactly why I always looked down on WWF wrestling in the 80s" - Jim Cornette
zed365 and that’s relevant to his in-ring ability how? Please elaborate
@zed365 made more than the company? Lol sure he did
Look up reviews of Warrior comic. Its bat crap insane. It included a christmas special which was nothing but pin ups. That featured scene implied he did naught things from behind to santa
I remember getting that comic for free. My local grocery store had several copies that came with WWF Magazine that month. Since there was no SKU, they literally gave them away.
SKU?
@@natwolf687 its the numbers in the bar code that identify a product.
I got my copy for free because I subscribed to the WWF magazine
I also heard about them being given out en masse at WWF live events. Like they were on the chairs waiting for the fans and a lot of kids kept em but everyone else just chucked em 👀
Guy sounds like a bitter ex girlfriend.
I loved when Bruce Prichard and Cornette were talking about this lol
Loved the Character the Ultimate Warrior. He was one of my favorite wrestlers. RIP Warrior.
With that being said....I would have to agree with Corny on his assessment about the Warriors abilities, or lack there of. Along with the other things he had to say about him.
“Its DesTruCity Pal”...
Douglas Taggart u and 23 others and counting...just hit the Like bruh
I love Bruce's stoner version of this story
That reminds me of a guy who was in my circle who lost 40 lbs and decided he wanted to take an MMA fight "in 6 Months" (what they all say) he was told to come train with me. He had a cocky attitude, told lots of ppl he was training to be a fighter or was an MMA fighter. He even trash talked me and all I told him was work on your cardio and "you can't learn to not get choked out at Planet fitness." So any ways I take hi. To the gym. I toy with him in boxing and grappling, he had no skills and stamina was atrocious. He had a million excuses but only came back once and my student tapped him out in less than a minute and he was laid out on the mat Exhausted. He now walks around with his Tapout shirt and tells ppl he trained MMA. Any who Warrior is lucky guys didn't stretch him and had a Gigantic ego for someone who couldn't work, shoot or cut a promo.
Do you run the gym ? What kind of martial arts was this guy learning ? BJJ ? Muay Thai ?
You're comparing mixed martial arts to Professional Wrestling: an Illusion, a Show, a Carnival, a Travelling Circus, The World's Fair on a steady diet of Dianabol. It's apples and oranges.
Being a good shooter was rather helpful in the 1960s, when the world champion had to be seen as legitimate. Having said that, Buddy Rogers wasn't a shooter, and he could draw over 30,000 people. So long as you didn't ask someone like Lou Thesz to job to him, it wasn't a problem. Yet nobody was going to shoot on The Warrior and stretch him in the 1980s, because that wrestler would have been seen as untrustworthy and banned across the country. When you worked for Vince, and you were in a televised match with The Warrior, you were on a good number. Nobody was dumb enough to take a programme with The Warrior and throw it in the trash. Where else would that person go to work circa 1990 and earn that type of money?
I don't think you understand what "working" is. "Working" isn't necessarily the same as "wrestling". It can be, yet the "working" that The Warrior did was a different variety. He sprinted to the ring, shook the ropes, looked to the heavens, that sort of thing. That's called working the crowd. When he did those things, people went nuts. They came back for more, they continued to buy tickets.
Nobody employed The Warrior to shoot--see above. He didn't need to do so. Same reason why nobody shot on Hogan. The Iron Sheik could have shot on Hogan, instead of dropping the belt to him, at Madison Square Garden, but it would have ruined his career. It's pro wrestling, not mixed martial arts. The kids in the audience in those days didn't give two shits whether The Warrior owned a black belt. Kids knew that Richard Dean Anderson wasn't really MacGyver, but they tuned in every week. That was my favourite show for a while, but even I knew that the show had scriptwriters giving Anderson those ideas for fancy homemade gadgets, I knew that didn't come out of the actor's head.
The Ultimate Warrior damn well knew how to cut a promo. His 'Crash The Plane' promo is brilliant. It's far more interesting than "I'm gonna kick your teeth down your throat this Saturday night, because I'm the baddest man on the planet!" The Warrior was original, he drew millions of bucks at the box office, and it's disingenuous for you to compare him to someone whom you once humiliated in the gym. The Warrior drew money, functioned as an entertainer, and supported his family. If you see a problem with that, I'd like to know.
Jim needs to talk about Ultimate Warrior at least once a month.
The Ultimate Warrior had no idea how close he came to Hulk Hogan. They pushed him that far and his ego threw it away.
Some stories never get old
He left out the part where every other word in that meeting was a swear word. Even Corny has said before that he refrained from cussing around Linda McMahon out of respect. Warrior however didn't have the same respect and cussed like a sailor around her.
Apparently Warrior was close with Linda though.
@@Thor-Orion never lol yea coz Linda and Vince hate eachother lol
I heard he dropped the f-bomb quite a bit at the meeting at his spot in Phoenix at the time. He had a wrestling ring set up in the middle of his home gym. Even though he never could be mistaken for a good worker in the biz; his look was nothing short of phenomenal
@@Thor-Orion I heard they were actually on friendly terms with one another while he competed in the WWF. I guess strange things do occur, sir. I couldn't honestly picture that in my head for some reason. Idk why??
@@Thor-Orion they should have humped
It's kind of bs to say he never improved in the ring.. Savage was improving him by raw force of osmosis... I sort of feel his improvement was pretty much blunted by the long stretches of exile.
Savage got great matches out of him. Of course, it helps that he and Savage were also friends.
@@ikill4klondikebars Warrior was actually the first slim jim guy. He handed the reigns off to Savage, then the rest was history.
Corny is hilarious here, "I didn't understand a goddamn thing he said all day"
Lol
That's because Cornette wasn't in on the meeting, he was just there as part of the group.
From the comic:
"Destrucity: tri-fold in its definition, therefore meaning... 1. The name of the Galax in WARRIOR wherein the "Terrain of Testament" lies. 2. The Living of one's life in the Way of a Warrior according to a Warrior's 8 Disciplines. Those are as follows: 1) Physical, 2) Beliefs, 3) Moment of Mastery, 4) Attitude, 5) Commitment, 6) Association, 7) Integrity, 8) Wisdom. 3. The creating of a truce between one's Destiny and one's Reality. Promising to stay true to what one is destined to be, yet accepting what is the now... one's reality."
You alright mate?
All that’s missing from this is a “HO KOGAN” at the end.
@@robott6696 LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOO
Even Mean Gene thought He was off His rocker.
I used to get the WWF magazine when I was a kid. From about 88 or 89 until late 90s and I can remember the advertisement for the comic book.

@Stephen Joens Not you, Stephen King, the author is salty. Not unlike Allan Moore.
@Stephen Joens I did not mean to imply there is anything inherently wrong with being salty. Maybe Volken did, but I don't really have a problem with Volken's opinion either.
Ultimate Warrior was the only one who didn’t need to get it, He was IT.
He sucked
You forgot the SH in front of the I
One of my roommates in college saw the Warrior at a grocery store in Scottsdale. The Warrior asked him where the lip balm was. That’s a true story.

Warrior still brings good memories to so many kids from the 80s. He must of done something right no matter what Cornette says.
Lol simp
Man I love listening to these podcast clips every morning and the artwork cracks me up every time
Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg were basically marks for themselves and believed that they couldn’t be beaten by anyone in wrestling (a predetermined scripted “sport”) and while they’ve accomplished a lot and had badass entrances they ended up getting heat with people because of their attitude.
Next time you see an Ultimate Warrior promo or shoot, listen to how he said; "Hulk Hogan"... it came out as "Howk Hogaan."

He was basically the 80s and early 90s Goldberg without the dististrissaty and the streek
Not as cool either
@@peteincanada8412 and all the cops ard him and he was ment to b tuff he had to bring aload of cops lol
I think I'd have to give the in ring to bill I thout I NVR say that ABT him and kicks Brets head into a stroke but warrior squeezeed jobbers balls doing the gorilla press till he did it to rude and rude goes wtf warrior goes that's how I do it rude not to me the jobbers were getting molasted in the ring and to scared to go to Vince and tell him so I'd rather b kicked ITNA a stroke than warrior squeezeeing my balls
Also, I wonder what's so farfetched about the "Destrucity" thing. It was weird, it was right in line w the character. I mean, look at what wrestling became- all the meaningless catch phrases you've heard throughout the years:
"Its not my fault"
"Slapnuts"
"SXCK It"
"The Rock Says"
The list goes on. They are nothing more than just random phrases that catch on. Warrior talked crazy- and Destrucity was just some outlandish shit he'd say. Not defending him, but its not a farfetched idea when you consider the character.
Due to the timing of his death, when he did die Warrior became a saint! Maybe time away from the business and raising a family changed him (it can happen) calling Hulk out & his respect for Savage was cool but the fact his guy didn't meet a dying kid for his wish is just unforgiveable.
Right place, right time you'd seen him once you saw him a thousand times.
You're taking Hart's word for it. Not that Hart is lying but until you know both sides to a story how can you make a fair conclusion ? But go off
No. What happened is he knew he was dying and didnt have much time left so he decided to make peace with everyone and then construct that self eulogy promo. Everything was designed by him to go out and die clean. But people tend to overlook that and still bury him every chance they get.
I think Warrors promos needs to be re-evaluated by Jim. They're completely insane, and in my opinion in a good way.
🤔 I dont know what you was watching but warrior was trash
Agreed
Calling what The Warrior spoke a promo was in its broadest term. I honestly can’t remember an event, city or date ever being mentioned. He ranted on the mike, which worked for him.
IMHO Warrior's "promos" (I use that term loosely) were average at best. He couldn't hold a candle to either Rowdy Roddy Piper (very few could, RRP was FIRE with mic in hand) or Jake "The Snake" Roberts, whose promos, though downright scary, are brilliant...
@@bury_the_elite65294 I'm with you on Piper, although I still think Warriors promos are fun and much much better than average.
Only as an adult could I see what Jim is talking about regarding Warrior because I was under the mass hypnosis as a kid. But it's crazy going back and watching it now he is terrible.
Goomer Doctor He was not terrible. He was at least as good as Hogan in the ring. Plus you cant hypnotize people to like someone otherwise Roman Reigns would be over by now. Warrior was over with the crowd because he was great
Being over and a good wrestler are too different things to me imo
@@chamae01 Yeah being over is way more important plus he wasnt nearly as bad as people try to make it seem. Its not like Hogan or Flair was anything special in the ring
@@christiansoldier77 Hogan at least could wrestle if he wanted (see his old stuff in New Japan), Hogan and Flair were real wrestlers and had to eat some shit before having the spot, Flair knew how to get over a rival if he wanted and build a match, etc. Warrior only ran to the ring, shook the ropes and fought a squash match every single time.
Christian Soldier He was over because of his gimmick and the aura around it. Not because of anything he did in the ring or on the mic. He appealed to people, especially kids, as a superhero and comic book character. Many wrestlers today cite Warrior as an inspiration. Was he good in the ring? Not at all. Was he good on the mic? Not at all. He just had the natural charisma and the right gimmick to win people over. When thecmusic hit and he would sprint to the ring and shake the ropes and all that, it was entrancing to people back then. Sometimes it's all about the gimmick. People like technical matches and wrestlers but they like charismatic ones and storytelling more. They go for the entertainment. There are amazing wrestlers who don't have the charisma to get over or draw a dime. There are mediocre or downright awful wrestlers who have charisma and a great gimmick and they become megastars. That's why guys like Hulk and Warrior got over. They were larger than life.
I wish I still had Ultimate Warrior comic book. I found it at Gabes as a kid. Gabriel Bros it was like a ghetto thrift store. It had him running through the woods training and wrestling trees. Power slamming logs. Was great.
I loved the Warrior's entrance and the intensity...but that's all he really was. I never knew what the hell he was talking about in his promos. In ring, unless he was with a guy who could work, his matches weren't good either. Don't get me wrong, I like the larger than life promos from the 80s that Hulk Hogan and Macho Man used to cut, but Hogan you could understand, Macho Man I admit I would have to really pay attention to when he would go from yelling to almost whispering, but Warrior...drugs in the water on another planet lol
He wasn't really around very long was he?
God you’re such a mark
Well, he had the look too. You really don't need a lot more than that to get over. It's the same reason a lot of guys will listen to an airhead that looks like a supermodel. Does it matter what she says?
@@Jukeboxster good point!
I love the warriors Gimmick and his promos are...a journey the fact is the man couldn’t wrestle and had no in match story.hogan told the story of a willing to go past his limit to ensure victory.warrior was I’m always past my limit
Road warriors were used in comics ive read the stonecold steve austin ultimate warrior and undertaker comics good art
AEW jake and the monster are scary man
Road Warriors were cool. The Ultimate Warrior could suck an egg.
I've got Mankind comic
The WWF used to put out comic books. I remember I had one where Sid Justice was a farmer and (I think?) Jake The Snake attacked Sid’s farm.
Not long after that, Sid turned heel. His catchphrase was, “Im Sid Justice and Sid Justice rules the world.”
My friends and I would say, “...and Sid Justice rules.....The Farming!!!”
We were 7 years old.......

You can have a million dollar body but that don’t make you a “wrestler”.
Entertaining he was,compelling yes,misunderstood yes, but he admitted he made mistakes and paid dearly for them.
The Jim cornette drawings always kill me
I wonder if Warrior's word combo was actually based on combining Destiny, Truth and "Electricity" as apposed to "city" as he was a rather "electrified" individual..
Only in wrestling can Vince, Jim, Jim, and Jim have a meeting about destrucity
Brian Last is a huge cherry picker
In what way..jw, if you’re right then you’re right
I'm convinced half of the questions he asks are ones he wrote. Hence, "Charlie from Starksville, TN"
JasonThe13th i always thought that too especially, how he always praises his grammar lmao.
JasonThe13th
It’s a work and we’re not in it
JasonThe13th gotcha..👌
I've always found Vince's fascination with male body builders a bit strange...
Probably because pro wrestlers are supposed to be larger than life and look like basically comic book superheroes. That's their appeal among the mass public. Nobody pays to see Adam Cole or Johnny Gargano who look like they work at the car wash.
@@jollyjames30 Exactly
Warrior felt so out of place in Attitude Era WWE. He was the last of the old guard(in the WWE) at that point
Bet Cornette was kissing the warriors ass the entire meeting, he's gonna leave that part out though!
Woyah running a wrestling school is like Ray Charles becoming an optometrist.
Nah, Ray Charles would have been way better as an eye doctor than Warrior as a wrestling coach. After all, Ray Charles didnt go blind until he was about 8, Warrior could never wrestle...
He would teach you a head lock, a wrist lock, a lock up, and then he'd be out of material.
@@RagingCookie127 Hold on, Warrior could do a gorilla press slam and a body splash. He seemed to have trouble figuring out that the opponent needs to be on their back to be pinned, but that's another issue. Also, are you sure he knew how to do a wrist lock?

Warrior is one of very few who has died and is still getting buried.
Out of respect to his loved and left ones, no-one really wants talk bad about him. There is just not really a getting around it.
7:52 😄😂😂. Jim and I share the same philosophy 😆😆😆
He didn't have the skills of a wrestler but he brought more money to the business than alot of his contemporaries who had the wrestling techniques. Kids saw a super hero in him. That made a lot of his colleagues kinda bitter
Yep they are all jealous
Warrior v Hogan match was classic, Meltzer prob gave it 1 🌟
Meh the match was a snooze fest. Way too many holds. The story and everything else was epic though
Ultimate Warrior never got stale because he never stayed with any promotion long enough. He remained _fresh_ all throughout his career.
Destiny, Truth, and something to do with City 😂😂. Gotta Love Corny!!!!!
Warrior stumbled into the right place, at the right time, with the right promoter
In WWE< he never "got it", but he never had to "get it."
His job was to get himself over. And, shocked as I was, yeah, he got over like a MF'er!
He was one of the Top 5 WWF stars of the the 1980's. He was an action figure come to life.
He was pretty much the prototype Goldberg. Except Goldberg tried to learn at the start, and even at his worst was nowhere near as awful a man as Warrior.
Goldberg is a good guy who is at his worst around wrestlers.
Warrior was a desperate man who pretty much went insane around wrestlers.
Cornette is pretty harsh, but he fails to mention what a hit Warrior was with the fans. Look at any footage, they loved him, and he was a boon to the promotion. But Cornette just seems to dislike him personally.
Anytime you want to hear a bigot rant about a bigot listen to Cornette talk about Warrior lol
Ultimate Warrior buried Triple H in the most hilarious way ever. So he's A-okay in my book.
No truer words have ever been spoken! Lol
What's the story?
@@altruisticscoundrel Triple H was supposed to have a lengthy match but the Warrior didn't want to so he squashed him in seconds after taking a pedigree and standing right back up seconds after.
@@DeckerGamingOG Thank you
K M Watch the match. It’s short. Warrior completely no sold the pedigree, and squashed him. He put his knees on his chest for the pin. It was glorious.
Warrior was awesome though.
At standing there to be looked at
He actually was, but he fit script of the day, he COULD have been so much better with little work, if he'd have given a shit? He would have been a great wrestler. He stood out in front of an audience who were used to watching Vince's Circus, and almost fit right in.
@@dxcpt He really couldn't work that well; but he looked ab fab fantastic with a $1 million body. That's exactly what Vince was looking for in talent more or less. The Wrestlemania 6 match with Hulk Hogan was by far his best.
Hey...c'mon pal. That's GOOD shit. Either way happy belated bday dude.
The Warrior comics 1st 1 came w/ the magazine back when.
That actually almost looks like the Warrior comic.
i had a copy of the warriors comic and nash's comic back in the day, it would have been nice to keep them
Funny, right after Warrior died, Jim mentioned that he was wrong about his drawing power and had been saying he didn't draw for years even though he was just assuming. Kinda hard to take his opinion seriously after that.
THAT is Cornette.
Any one ever see jim at after school story hour ? Thats his team u know!
I moved to Phoenix last year, could someone tell me which restaurant this is? I want to go there
Dextruscity is a word I now use to win arguments
My friend won a radio contest for us to meet with the Ultimate Warrior at the Baltimore Civic Center and he was late and we met Brian Knobbs instead. Warrior vs Sid Vicious was the main event and Sid won. After that, Ultimate Warrior was never seen again.
Did Knobbs at least paint his face, wrap tassels around his arms and *pretend* to be The Ultimate Warrior?
@@markv1274 No. he shook my hand and it was like a catchers mitt. He came out with Tony Garea who I saw in my first wrestling match trying to beat Superstar Billy Graham for the WWWF title
Alot of the old school type guys like Cornette. Hate the fact that despite Warriors lack of wrestling knowledge and Warrior didn't grow up a fan of the business. He was still able to get over huge. That pisses alot of those guys off. I was never a big fan of the Warrior as a kid. But just calling it how it is.
That Sting joke at the end by the co host threw me off 😂
If Warrior sucked so bad, why did the fans go crazy over him? There are a lot of body builders, but they don't all become mega-stars like the Warrior. Obviously, he did somethings right.
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
yup and in many cases it leads to an early death by heart failure well Cocaine and other wonders of modern chemistry
Just ask hogan.....
@@marcusvonmaximus8071 I honestly don't know how Hogan is still alive with the amount of steroids and coke he did
It makes you wonder how history would have been different if Vince had a preference for workers and shooters and not body builders . With Rocky 3 Hogan was becoming a cross over star and I think Hulkamania would have happened either way. Still its interesting to wonder what if ...
zed365 stories dude. It’s about the story. When the character is the story it makes one person a draw and the other person discardable. When the story is between multiple characters (and every wrestler has a character) they can all benefit.
@zed365 Bruno did ok ...came to the the ring very little fanfare ...simple pair of navy trunks and black boots ...sold out MSG continuously.
When I saw the thumbnail I knew it was going to be good
“Destiny, truth and something to do with city. I don’t fucking know.” 😂
He was in the right place at the right time. The WWF needed him.
Its destiny, truce and reality. Making truce between your current reality (by accepting what it is) and your destiny, and after coming to peace with that, working towards the future to become what you are supposed to be, the best version of your self.

I would recommend checking out Warrior's motivational videos on the official channel if you are in a slump. He talks some good stuff about life and bettering yourself. There is a lot of good stuff there from parts unknown.
