I rewatched this 3 times and cannot find a single reason for demonetizing it.

I was recently at a Brazilian jiu jitsu tournament with solid production. Guys had walkout songs for their first matches. A guy came out the Ultimate Warrior theme and tried to do it right. He came sprinting out to the mat, made it up 2 of the 3 stairs leading up to it, and tripped on the last one face planting the mat. There was something hysterically comical about him shamefully walking to his starting position while the Warrior theme was still blaring.
Thank you for mentioning that 97 contract. Been saying for years that it’s crazy thatVince told Bret he was close to financial ruin, yet was throwing around multi million dollar offers to Warrior, Hogan in January of 98, and to Mike Tyson.
Me: bout to sleep, cuz TH-cam recommends garbage to me This video gets uploaded Me: As hopeless a situation can get, there is always a positive.... this time its a big one.
@@1981CrueHead I heard he kept his coat on and didn't wrestle much because he tore his bicep at Halloween Havoc after ripping the cage and swinging out (he landed awkwardly as the camera cut away).
Sting and Warrior should have had a run with the tag titles. I was happy to see the reunion against Hogan and Hart even though the match wasn’t too flash. Imagine the entrance: Smoke fills the ring, Sting comes down from the rafters into the smoke. Smoke clears, Warrior appears.
How about you put your time and effort into getting a real job and contribute something positive to society. TH-cam isn't a job unless you're a select few.
I didn't want to self promote on someone else's channel so I used a spare account... I'm currently editing my first video and now know how hard it actually is, especially when you have a fulltime job.
When he said "and this must be your barber" (pointing at the Disciple) I remember popping like mad! His reappearance did really invigorate Nitro when it was going stale. Wish it could have lasted
It really shows how Vince plays favorites when he offers Warrior a ton of money after he got rid of Bret. And really shows how much Vince values loyalty and hard work. Think whatever you will of Bret, but you can never say he didn't do more for WWF than Warrior ever did and that Bret didn't work 100x harder.
The ric flair return was amazing!!! I remember watching it live and legit screamed in excitement at home. I loved the supernatural aspect of warrior. I was 14 and ate it up!
@@TheFriendlyWeirdo No, thats actually pretty stupid. Warrior was ONLY brought to lose to Hogan, then they released him....Sting was in his mid 50's way past his prime and had to retire after 2 matches...I cringe at the 39 idiots who liked his comment

So yeah, sting just wanted to get to wrestlemania, but Vince wanted everything wcw destroyed.. he's already altered so much of the history its crazy. McMahan is pretty easy to peg as far as motives and thoughts about things. Its more obvious as he ages. Sting losing to triple h is a joke, and the only reason he lost is because he was only brought back to lose..
How you can make a 20+ minute video on Helwig in WCW is beyond me. He was only there for 20 minutes. The content is great but gimme some Ronnie Garvin bruddah.
I vividly remember Warrior's WCW debut and I was stoked. I think mainly because I was a huge Warrior fan so it was a nostalgia thing. I really wished the storyline would've worked into something better. Maybe something like Warrior convincing Sting to bring back his colors and join OWN.
September 14, 1998: I watch it only for Billy Kidman winning his first Cruiserweight championship. The greatest highlight moment of the night! Enough said!
This guy was every childs hero.in the 80s I remember watching wrestlemania 6 at my neighbors on the old big flat screen 50" tv and my step brother was all for hogan me for Warrior its was truly a memory and a match I'll never forget! Whether or not you love or hate him his match at mania 6 & 7 were very good... RIP Warrior
I watched lots of wrestling as a kid but moved on in my teens. As a young adult, I had a look at modern wrestling as a curiosity to see if it still entertained me. And I noticed there was very little wrestling. It felt like I watched half an hour without any actual wrestling match taking place. Just this in ring drama, where some meat head would rant on in the microphone. Then it cut to some promo. Then we saw some back stage drama unfold. It was like some soap opera. I was a huge Ultimate Warrior fan as a kid, but if I saw him shouting into the microphone for 15 minutes, I honestly don't think I'd have had the patience to keep watching.
Hogan seeing warrior in the mirror is one of my more vivid memories of watching wrestling as a kid. I loved it lol. I miss that old school WCW. I get how dumb it seems now but back then we ate it up. Lets be honest what's worse this or mae young giving birth to a hand?
all your videos are instantly on my top recommended on both my yt accounts usually within the first hour of release, no wonder this one was no where to be found. Good work carry on mate
I just don't know how you do it every time!! Great video, you always put such detail into them. PLEASE, PLEASE keep them coming. I don't think I have EVER been disappoint with any of your videos.
I remember being so excited to see sting and ultimate warrior being tagged partners for that Monday night but the match was boring I Wich over to Monday night raw
The amount of money this man made and was offered for just showing up, talking randomly and have short and uninspired matches with an energetic entrance is insane.
The warrior introduced to the WCW was great. But giving him the mic was a mistake. But the build up to Havoc was great. But to have him lose to hogan was a total letdown.
The Ultimate Warrior wore that jacket all the time in the WCW in 1998 because his biceps and triceps were torn to shreds (right off the bone). The jacket was to hide just how much his arms had atrophied (shrunk) since his WWF days.
I had heard (from friends who read a lot online & did a sports show) that Warrior was supposed to do something like 13 appearances. At the time, I had counted that it didn't get to 13 or whatever number it was. His last appearance was the day after Halloween Havoc and he told Hogan "you failed the challenge," cause Hogan cheated to win at the PPV. Jesse Ventura had just won the governor election, and Hogan's next promo became saying he was running for president. To me, it seems WCW just being WCW and not finishing a fued right. Cause a 3rd match would have made sense.
I like the ratings battle and how viewer chose to watch the warriors return instead of raw... remember this is way back then we never knew what we were missing on the other channel
You didn’t note that warrior tore his bicep at fall brawl and was still injured during his tag match with sting against hogan and hart. That’s why he was not in regular ring gear and didn’t do much physically.
They both were never the most technical wrestlers, and having this match almost a decade later really exposed that and how all the magic was based off of their larger than life character back in the early 90s. Ah well.
For their Wrestlemania match Hogan and Warrior meticulously planned out and rehearsed the entire match with Pat Patterson before the show. That went a long way toward hiding their in-ring deficiencies.
Warrior did not run back to the ring. The Renegade was the decoy Warrior. Once he disappeared, the real deal then came to the ring. Also, he had a torn bicep that he suffered during War Games. He had bandages during the tag match with Sting. The duster (jacket) was kept on to cover it. He also said that Hogan didn't want to go over the match ahead of time.
Awesome video as always. I had one thing I noticed. If Vince typed that contract out I would be surprised as it says "then" instead of "than." You would think people would have multiple proofreads on contracts or legal matters.
DDP, Roddy Piper, Warrior, Kevin Nash, Sting, Lex Luger, Hogan, Bret Hart...and Stevie Ray. One of those guys isn't quite on the same level as the others.
Great video man!Sucks youtube is giving you so much trouble for it.Thanks for the heads up about it though,I might’ve missed it if you didn’t.I also barely even remember any of it although I’m sure I was still casually watching wrestling around this time.So thanks for the refresh even if it reminded me of why it was probably washed from my memory in the first place.Even though it didn’t come any where near as epic as it should’ve been it was still nice to be reminded of it.
Hogan didn't move his gimmick. Bishof came up with the great idea to have him go heel. Luckily, Hogan did go along with it. (Then it would been Sting and probably bored not as cool.) However, Hogan would have loved to stay the hero for his entire career. And rhen... WCW reverted and and made Hogan face again. (Quite lame!) If Hogan cared, or had a clue, he would have said that doesn't work brother. As far as Warrior, he was just doing as told. I'm not down with the theory that WCW just copied WWF, but I will say that WCW didn't know how to evolve.
Watching with great interest. I truly thought that Warrior could have made a huge impact in WCW. The O.W.N. gimmick was a lot better than what we have around these days.
You should be arrested... cause your killing it with the intro music. I don't know if you do it your self or someone else does but it sounds great and it only gets better with every video. Good job mate, keep them coming
I think Warrior had an injury with his biceps at the time of the Blade Runners reunion, that was why he left the jacket on. I remember reading that on the hot sheets back in the day
Crafted Pure yeah it was a bicep injury,it’s also why he worked out with a rubber hose to nurse it as much as he could,he suffered the injury in the cage match at War Games

Only late 90's WCW could create a faction called 'One Warrior Nation' and immediately put two people in it. What a time to be alive.
OWN was actually Helwig's idea. He continued OWN on his own, and revived it in his social media and personal speaking career.

DDP, Roddy Piper, Warrior, Kevin Nash, Sting, Lex Luger, Hogan, Bret Hart...and Stevie Ray.
One of those guys isn't quite on the same level as the others.
Was sooo hyped when he first showed up. Then he wouldnt shut up
Great video man!Sucks youtube is giving you so much trouble for it.Thanks for the heads up about it though,I might’ve missed it if you didn’t.I also barely even remember any of it although I’m sure I was still casually watching wrestling around this time.So thanks for the refresh even if it reminded me of why it was probably washed from my memory in the first place.Even though it didn’t come any where near as epic as it should’ve been it was still nice to be reminded of it.
Warrior was trying to do 1988 WWF in 1998 WCW, even Hogan had managed to move his gimmick on.
Hogan didn't move his gimmick.
Bishof came up with the great idea to have him go heel.
Luckily, Hogan did go along with it.
(Then it would been Sting and probably bored not as cool.)
However, Hogan would have loved to stay the hero for his entire career.
And rhen...
WCW reverted and and made Hogan face again. (Quite lame!)
If Hogan cared, or had a clue, he would have said that doesn't work brother.
As far as Warrior, he was just doing as told. I'm not down with the theory that WCW just copied WWF, but I will say that WCW didn't know how to evolve.
hands down the best youtube channel going right now
Watching with great interest. I truly thought that Warrior could have made a huge impact in WCW. The O.W.N. gimmick was a lot better than what we have around these days.
I always loved the Ultimate Warrior but even I used to cringe at some of his promos.
It's the same with Taker, massive fan but sometimes even the legends had an off day
the original indigenous upper class top ranks ultimate warrior is my favorite wrestler at all times 🆗☝️💯💯💯
Thank you for all the videos mate 👍
nothing like a wrestling bio before the superbowl.. nice touch
You should be arrested... cause your killing it with the intro music. I don't know if you do it your self or someone else does but it sounds great and it only gets better with every video. Good job mate, keep them coming
Ultimate warrior was crazy
Personally, I think the renegade had a better run in WCW than the Warrior did in the late 90s
At least he won the WCW Television Championship from Arn Anderson of all people.
@@Facade953 Really? The same title that Bill Goldberg beat the disco Inferno to get?…….. or was that raven?
As I said previously channel is amazing really lifts in spirits in lockdown
Best Wrestling channel on TH-cam.
The botched finish with the fireball was hilarious
Botched finishes were a calling card of Hogans during his NWO run.
Ur a national treasure. Keep it up!!
I really missed out on his glory days. I remember seeing the warrior for the first time around this period and thinking "who the hell is this dude??"
I think Warrior had an injury with his biceps at the time of the Blade Runners reunion, that was why he left the jacket on. I remember reading that on the hot sheets back in the day
Crafted Pure yeah it was a bicep injury,it’s also why he worked out with a rubber hose to nurse it as much as he could,he suffered the injury in the cage match at War Games
His biceps and triceps were shot at this time in his career. Dude was a mess from all the juice.
