Jim Cornette on Meeting With The Ultimate Warrior 

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

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

“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

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.

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. Source: Warrior YT channel

@@patrickbateman9947 What a fucking weirdo he was

Sounds like a brand for engine oil.

And jet-jacked and FOCED.

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

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!

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.

@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!

@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

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 😂😂

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 .

Surprised you don’t know Nick Young lmao

Swagggy ppppppppp

Probably the first time he made his famous facial expression.

I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall for that.

Douglas Taggart u and 23 others and counting...just hit the Like bruh

I love Bruce's stoner version of this story

zed365 and that’s relevant to his in-ring ability how? Please elaborate

@zed365 made more than the company? Lol sure he did

Lol

That's because Cornette wasn't in on the meeting, he was just there as part of the group.

SKU?

@@natwolf687 its the numbers in the bar code that identify a product.

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.

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

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.

@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.

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

Great at being a hack, sorry if you're a Warrior mark.

Lol maybe he was...but he was always a crowd favorite...and its fake man there all hacks...some are just entertaining for children

If his being dead is the only good thing you can say about him, that's pretty faint praise.

@@dustinwarner6594 it’s not fake man it’s simulated violence , big difference

@@ladistar ill give ya that...I meant he wasn't the best in ring but as a child during his few years...he was highly entertaining

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.

He sucked

You forgot the SH in front of the I

So were Edge and Christian. What's your point?

FUNNER FACT: Warrior inspired any American boy born in 1980something

@BitChute Is Better Than RU-vid flaggets don't make the world work - Warrior

@Mauricio93201 but then your message wouldn't exist

@@kidneystonermusic I thought he said queefing?

Lol simp

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.......

@@StuUngar Sounds like Sid should've been at Farm-Aid! Imagine Sid, threatening people for donations.

Meh the match was a snooze fest. Way too many holds. The story and everything else was epic though

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.

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!

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?

Lame

This comment is underrated 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤔 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.

i had a copy of the warriors comic and nash's comic back in the day, it would have been nice to keep them

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

Yep they are all jealous

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..👌

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.

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.

THAT is Cornette.

@@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

It worked out for Kevin Nash as a matter of fact if it was for guys like Kevin Nash a lot of these guys will not be making no money a lot of people looking Kevin Nash say he's lazy Kevin Nash was smart not so sure about Scott Hall Scott Hall is a smart guy too but drugs got to him but Kevin Nash was smart about his money he said he will work smarter not harder and that's why most of these guys like Benoit Eddie are dead because they care too much learn your craft perfector craft and get out of the business and make money that's all you need to do you don't have to love wrestling to make money Batista doesn't even like wrestling like that and he was great the internet marks hated them but the fans love him especially the women
