Just watched it a second ago on Hulu Plus....almost felt like crying.  Warrior's promos were always open to interpretation because of the way he spoke.  I heard a couple of words differently.  Still, a hell of a final statement.  Our Warrior's spirit is at peace.


It's sad... But at least in his final days he got the praise he deserved by his career, the HoF, the new DVD/BR (instead of the completely biased first DVD) and spent some time with his family and fans. His last promo was amazing, sad, but amazing.

I'm buying that DVD.  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.

I thought that was a shit move, not so much because of the way they treated Warrior but because of the way they treated his fans. Anyone who is going to watch an Ultimate Warrior DVD is bound to have been a fan, and the whole thing was basically Vince pondering aloud, "Why did we push this psycho again...?" Because he was making you money, you Bob Backlund looking fuck!

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.

Vince always had the habt of bashing superstars he was mad with and then try to fix things later. Vince is pretty much a douchebag. It is amazing how WWE was calling The Rock as "the biggest star in history of wrestling" until the signed Hogan this years and he returned to be "the immortal Hulk Hogan, biggest star in history!"

Vince's son-in-law probably had its issues with Warrior too and tries as hard as he can to make everyone forget WM XII and his squatch match against Warrior

The Pedigree doesn't work here!!

He... looks like a major twat, lol. 

I've never been interested in wrestling anyways, well, not since I was like, maybe 10 at the latest, since that's when I found out just how cheesy and fake it is, I don't understand why people get seriously into it... if you want to watch real fighting, go watch the UFC lol, but even that's getting a little boring now, too much of the same...

If you can't find things entertaining that are fake you should probably avoid video games, movies and books, too.

Damn, you beat me to it lol.



Must have been heart-failure. Most wrestlers that die young, die from heart-failure due to the steroids they take and what they put their bodies through. It's sad, there is a long list of dead wrestlers from that very thing and WWE seemingly does nothing to prevent it.
