I watched "The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" on PPV years ago and I laughed but at the same time it hurt because, like a lot of people, I thought the Ultimate Warrior was so awesome as a kid. Seeing him in that light was like killing a part of my childhood. I'll watch the new one and I'll smile. Hopefully he has earned his redemption in a lot of people's eyes. |
He wasn't a saint and everyone knew he had some problems at backstage (as Hogan, Flair and plenty of others had), but the DVD was completely unfair. What happened is that Vince wanted him to work with WWE to create a DVD and he didn't wanted to do that because of his old gripes with McMahon. Then Vince decided to make a DVD bashing him. Some things there are true, others are exagerated and other are just blatant lies. This review and this other review pretty much sum up the DVD and show a less biased point of view.
Warrior itself said his biggest issue with the DVD wasn't the content, but the fact that his daughters never saw him wrestling and that would be the only thing they would see about him. The new collection is a different thing and honor adequately what he accomplished. He wasn't a saint, but he wasn't the demon portrayed by the first DVD and as a wrestler he accomplished great moments for the fans.
