Kevin Sullivan on The Ultimate Warrior in WCW 

I think there is a clip of hogan and warrior talking behind the scenes at wrestlemania 30 the night after warrior was inducted in to the hall of fame. It appears or maybe it was just for the cameras that they buried the hatchet before warrior died.

Backstage at Wrestlemania 30, Warrior and Hogan shook hands and they did appear to reconcile their differences. This was captured on film and was in the Ultimate Warrior documentary, entitled Warrior: The Ultimate Legend.

You are excellent at these interviews.

When WWE is paying them to be on tape they'll do what their asked.

THE HANNIBAL TV sadly warrior is burning in hell fyre

Thank God because I wanted Hogan to beat him .

That Halloween Havoc match sucked turds. The wrestlemania 6 match was a masterpiece in comparison.

warrior got 2 million to work 4 matches . warrior said he only cared about the money lol . yet upset hogan made him look bad

Warrior also said Hogan was the sole person complaining about his promos & "going over his head," yet here Sullivan is calling Warrior's ramblings insane, going over time limit, missing cues, & being limited in ring. So pretty sure many other guys in the locker room probably felt similar things about Warrior in WCW. Clearly, Hogan had his ego, but Warrior also had his & couldn't accept his own shortcomings.

@@corey2232 they both are very similar in ways but at least warrior had the decency to change his ways and make amends with guys like jake,Vince who he had problems with. Can't say if hulk had changed tho

This was a character that was supposed to be a bit crazy. You know that, right?

We're all killing the Sullivans promos ranting and that of a lunatic???

Kevin Sullivan's early promos was strange to say the least.

@@WaitingtoHit Really? Here we all thought he was trying to be his true and authentic self, showing sober judgement and stoic character. Thank you for enlightening us, genius.

@@BuJammy Oh, I don't think I'm a genius; I'm very much a regular guy. However, when conversing with the average wrestling fan, having a modicum of intelligence sometimes makes me feel like a genius. My post above was addressed to one specific person, the original commenter. This person felt that Sullivan's highly critical assessment of Warrior's promos was brilliant, presumably because he felt the same way. Viewing Warrior's approach with derision necessitates _not_ grasping that he fully intended to come off as a bit loony. The problem with Warrior in WCW had nothing to do with his general approach to promos. Rather, it had to do with WCW's chronic inability to make the most of the talent they attracted (save for the NWO), something both Eric Bischoff and Tony Schiavone have lamented over the years. In the case of Warrior's promos, they allowed him too much freedom; they simply went on too damn long. Bischoff has admitted to not being a natural wrestling creative like McMahon, and Tony Schiavone observed that there was a major difference in the competence of the enormous well-oiled wrestling machine working behind McMahon and the discombobulated employees that Bischoff had to manage. And of course, it didn't help that Hogan had a high degree of creative control baked into his contract.

Everyone at the top plays politics .Besides it's not Hogan's problem if WCW gave him creative control.They could have told Hogan to pound sand.People forget that sometimes.

oWn is nWo spelled backwards, had to be warrior

They were on the WWE's payroll that weekend probably doing whatever was asked of them.

You could say that about everything in the wrestling business.

He didn't draw anything and got booted 😂. You're an idiot

Warrior mishandled his own self.

G McIntosh true but he did earn a close to a mil for that I believe they brought him in with a 1 year contract for like 800k and after HH they basically told him go sit at home will pay you the contract and if we need you we’ll call you

The crowd reaction on the Nitro after Halloween Havoc was epic. WCW totally mishandling him.

@@murraysaucedo897 6 month contract but they didn't let him work matches. Eric never called him.

I like both Eric Bischoff & Hulk Hogan, but that whole scenario with Warrior, R.I.P., coming into WCW to eventually build-up a match with Hollywood thru promos ended up becoming an indisputable shit show😌 It was a damned embarrassment. The contest itself was plain awful👎

It was a complete lack of organized planning. I've seen Warrior's & Bischoff's respective interviews on why it didn't work according to them. I never saw 1 with Hulkster's take on it

@@michaelvaughn8864 From what I’ve seen Hulk on podcast, Hulk put the booking loss on Eric. You’re right it’s a complete mess.

@@nanoblulovaolution4856 Oh, wow!!😯 Thanks for the 411, sir. I'll have to look it up. Certainly, Bischoff was in charge. If shit rolls downhill, he'll get the blame for it. I can't actually say all the baggage should be put on him. I'm sure Hogan and Warrior are at a percentage fault for the whole kit and kaboodle debacle themselves.

@@nanoblulovaolution4856 It's probably a team effort fuck up😔

That could be done for the publics view.

@@shawnbates1804 You could say that about everything in the wrestling business.

buddy holly What's wrong with that picture?

good

Hogan has way more money now than he ever did wrestling. The divorce was ten years ago by now, he got at least 30 million from beating Gawker.

damn it

Hogan has taken care of himself better than the other 3

Mr. M A J E S T I C XIII . Blackstruggle77 that was his gimmick lol

Ok mark

Hogan and Bischoff said that Bischoff wanted to renegotiate Warrior's contract after the Halloween Havoc match. But Warrior wanted too much money. So, Bischoff simply let the contract expire.

Yeah, it's pretty difficult to believe when they legit brought him in for just the program with Hogan and then stopped using him like two weeks later. And look if they needed to make some quick money with an established name and didn't feel like investing in him long term because of his personality, I could certainly get it but why lie and act like there were bigger plans when there weren't?

You wanna remain on top you don't politic to stay there. You earn it like everybody else

@@rashaunwilliams6121 That makes no sense.

@@BuJammy it makes perfect sense. Just not to you.

That happens with a lot of these guys that get big pops early on. Its life. There is not a job on this planet you can walk into on your 3rd day and start getting bumped up without jealousy. Guys like Goldberg. Warrior, ok sure they were inexperienced but they cant help the pop they get. If they are over the company is going to move them up. There always seems to be big smear campaigns about these guys when in reality they are just doing what their job wants them to

They couldn't say no. The creative control gave him full power over storylines and matches

We are no longer friends and I lost a lot of respect for him for going against his brothers wishes regarding the WWE HOF but of course the royalties from WWE probably played a big factor in Lanny's decision on that. That's all I have to say regarding him.

Thanks for that. On a happier note, Kevin Sullivan seems a really nice guy in person. Am I right, Hannibal?

Some did like him but that's pretty accurate.

Todd Schneck no wonder he was the worst in ring worker in history. He makes John Cena look like HBK.

Majority who dislike him i think have a hint of jealousy. Maybe down to the fact that despite limited in ring ability, he drew big and was the favourite of most young kids at the time. DiBiase disliked him because he didnt 'love' the business, just used it to earn a living.. To be fair though, there are a lot of ex-pros from the 90s era who say he was a nice enough guy, Hellwig.

To hell with the guys on the business, he was there to make MONEY not friends

You are clueless Air Gorden, I'll admit Warrior didn't have that many moves but neither did Hogan or Goldberg or alot of the big musclehead guys. But we are talking about sports entertainment here not NCAA technical wrestling. The bottom line in the business is money and did he put butts in the seats and yes he did. And the statement about he didn't draw a dime or sell merch is ridiculous. If you watch the Ultimate Warrior documentary, The Ultimate Legend, it talks about how he was selling more merchandise and T-shirts than Hogan leading up to WM6, so he was selling the most stuff of anybody in the business at the time. All the guys get in the business for their self and to make a lot of money, why else are guys in their getting beat up unless they are in it for themselves.

Paul Widner hogan ruined it cause the NWO would never lose..

Warrior was a no-talent hack, and WCW would have died sooner than it did with him than it did.

They did it because WWE paid them well and asked them to for the camera I'm sure

You are 100% right that Hogan wanted to get his win back. Even the Warrior said that in interviews.

@@TheHannibalTV I know he said that if he had known that WCW only wanted to bring him in to help stroke Hogan's ego, he would've never have gone there in the first place.

selfie kroos Hogan made their hearts explode.

Illuminati

They would have gone done regardless. The network didn't want wrestling. Even though it was their highest rated show. The aol/Time Warner merger happened, ted turner lost power, they were losing millions and they sold it

BenjaminAlexander44 actually u right because Hogan vs rock in 2002 was a classic at wrestlemania but Hogan had great matches in wcw especially the one with sting at starrcade 97 classic I don't think was the timing of the match it was Hogan didn't wanna put into time into it warrior said that in a interview

If they did bret vs Vince at 26 they easily could have done warrior vs Hogan in 03

Death Adder no LOL

The Uuuuuuuultimate Rematch [Vince MacMahon voice]

@Death Adder really? when you get awful worker vs awful worker = one of the worst matches ever

He died

Is Ultimo Warrior a combination of Ultimo Dragon and Ultimate Warrior?

See, this is the thing that marks don't realize. Flair and Hogan sold tickets, sure, but without good opponents, they would have done jackshit for the business. People never calculate Andre, Orndorff, Savage, Earthquake, etc. when they consider Hogan's success. Flair and Hogan lie off of their ass every chance they get to boost their tremendously large egos. The difference between the two is at least Flair put over people for the good of the business. Hogan only did it when he filmed his shitty failures of movies. Look at Hogan from this interview alone and you can see how petty and insecure he is. Fuck Hogan!

See, I know you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.. Warrior was born in 59, Hogan in 53 and Flair in 49. You're acting like Warrior was twenty fucking years younger than either of them, or something. Warrior was shit, and as soon as the kids grew up (well, clearly you didn't...) and the cartoon era was done, so was he. Not to mention the fact that Flair was never like Hogan. He lost clean anytime he was needed to. You're a fucking mark.

Warrior was not talented in wrestling ability.

Hogan ruined his marriage to Liz. Also, Hogan was a piece of shit who never was a friend to anyone. He just used people.

Patrick Parker Holding down the young guys. The final straw for Savage that led him to quit WCW was when Hogan promised to drop the title back to him and never did.

Just review their entire history working together...as friend or foe, Hogan always pulled politics to get the best of Randy. It was too obvious to me but especially in WCW

What problems would that be? My guess is Hogan fucked him over, too. Of course, if it even exists...

Just from observing both of their true characters(tho I don’t know them personally) I get the vibe that Macho was a handshake deal kinda guy and his word was his bond but Hogan is someone who will give you his word but undercut/politic you at the very last minute. I think Macho knew he had to be “friends” with the top guy in order to get where he needed to but between Linda/Hulk harboring Liz during their divorce and Savage being positioned as kind of a place holder for Hogan at times,he just saw Hulk for who he was...a co-worker,not a friend.

Cocaine (kidding.)

Mitch McConnell Fat fuck was eating powdered donuts

Mr. Schaffner No, you self-pitying clod. Just the ego, the sulking, the politicking, the hypocrisy, the ego.

I'm fine with that. 😂

I think he had something to do in the Benoit murders
