Sam Roberts & The Ultimate Warrior on Vince McMahon, 1 More Match, WWE 2k14, etc 

no one else will ever go out the way warrior did. His speech on raw and passing the next day although creepy and eerie was epic as hell. He went out like a real warrior and a real man.

I love how Sam asked "what's the haps?" and the Ultimate Warrior was like the fuck are you saying?

perfect response to his first question

'' - Hey Warrior. What's the haps '' * Clothsline...End of interview

I love the way at the beginning warrior doesn't respond to "what's the happs" and just looks at sam like he's an idiot. Legend

“What’s the haps?” Bad way to start an interview with a guy like Ultimate Warrior lol.

Whats the haps? Warrior almost bit Sam's Head off after asking him that! Speak to me Warriors!!!!!!!

Respect to Warrior for not walking away after that first question.

The Warrior doesn't take any shit from anybody. I love it

R.I.P Warrior

Looked like Warrior was ready to just walk away right there after he heard "What's the haps". Loved the look he gave him.

That is some sick philosophy: Don't worry about what WILL happen, just put everything you have into doing what you are doing at that moment.

The "heat" between Warrior and Vince is really just about business. Jim Helwig created the character and Vince wanted to own it and couldn't stand the thought of any kind of 50/50 partnership, and Warrior wasn't willing to sacrifice a single penny of the money he earned. That's really what its all about - trademark of an image and name,and who exactly owns it. As far as wrestling, UW has always said he didn't grow up watching it, he doesn't care about Flair and Hart and guys that like to wrestle. He was a bodybuilder and somebody approached him and suggested he could make a living off being a wrestler, since bodybuilding doesn't pay much of anything. He never tried to get into wrestling, wrestling came to him, and he was a character that sold more merchandise than Hogan and Warrior KNOWS he had the better match at Wrestlemania 7, NOT Hogan/Slaughter. Warrior vs Macho was the match fans went to that show to see. Hogan's match was secondary and everybody knows it. HHH might have resented being squashed at #12, but as he's gotten older, he knows now that "was best for business" in giving a big comeback to classic star. The 2005 DVD was meant to make UW look bad, but it was a top selling DVD for the WWE that year. Vince probably realized back then that UW's popularity is still in effect no matter how bad they try to make him look, and now its all in the past, and its time for both Warrior and Vince to cash in on a profitable character. Ultimate Warrior is "best for business" and if he doesn't want to wrestle, a flashback to the funeral parlor and a simple stare down with undertaker at Royal Rumble 2014 would be big enough to make an entire arena roar. FEEL THE POWER !

He comes across as very relaxed, very happy with life, it seems that he may have finally beating all the stuff that was bothering him.

Warrior wanted to gorilla press and then do a splash on Roberts over that ghastly "What's the haps?" question.

He seems calmed now, maybe having his family has brought joy to him. He was my favorite growing up!

one thing i like about warrior is he kinda knew when to call it quits, hes not 60 out there like flair having his flab bounce around. he does alot of interviews and stuff but we like hearing from him

I love his shirt in this interview..... RIP Warrior I still shed a tear watching you....

I cannot even BELIEVE he asked Warrior "What's the haps?" I wish he would have hit Sam with the big splash right there and then.

I swear I love reading through RU-vid comments. Cracks me up. The things people think they know, never gets old. Any real wrestling fan knows Warrior wasn't a great technical wrestler, but at one time he was the most popular wrestler in the world. He may not have been the easiest person to work, neither was Shawn Michaels, but that doesn't mean he didn't leave his mark on the business. He is very deserving of his HOF induction this year. He also was not forced out of wrestling because he didn't draw, that's just stupid to say. He sold more merch than anyone. You can't compare WM3's crowd to any other. It's still the biggest today. He was fired for holding up Vince at SS'91 for money he was owed anyway. As far as the man, Jim Hellwig goes, he may be a little different, but have you ever seen any of his meet and greets or talked to him. He's very nice and takes the time to sign whatever you want, how you want and takes multiple pics with everyone. Oh and this is the real UW, he never died. Still alive and well and is not broke either. He has net worth of almost $2M. Ok, I'm done now, thanks lol

I just had to rewatch this lol makes me laugh so much how Warrior made fun of "the haps". Warrior was a funny guy and will be missed a lot!

No matter what WWE says, Warrior will always be one of the great characters in their history.

Warriors short temper about certain question's just cracks me up. Its comical to me. He's always very intriguing.

I was really saddened when Warrior passed RIP Brother .

Warrior is a realist. Props.

His interviews weren't meant to be understood his character was from parts unknown...

It really seems like The Warrior enjoyed talking to you Sam. When I was a wee tyke the ultimate warrior was my favorite wrestler ever. I wish you'd asked him what his inspirations were on the different war paint designs he or if someone at the WWF at the time had a make up guy that did it for him. I've always wanted to know that. Either way Sam I really enjoy the interview.

Dude cant just say yeah that was thr crowning moment of my career. Thank you hogan for putting me over.

Warrior looks GREAT! U can see he still works out and stays in shape. More power to him. Hes a healthy man in every aspect. Hes a good embassador for the old school

It was actually nice to hear someone who doesn't play video games having an open mind about them. Most people who don't play video games don't understand why someone would play them and would tell gamers to get a life.

Ultimate Warrior RIGHT NOW, not in his prime, would be amazing on the mic, he could really bring his attitude towards it.

I feel like that long pause Warrior talked when asked about coming back really told something, again sam with an awesome interview

That interviewer almost felt the POWER of The Warrior

It seems like he lived his life fully, just as intensely as his gimmick. Awesome!

>When Ultimate Warrior was alive. "OH MY GOD THIS GUY IS A DISGRACE TO THE WRESTLING BUSINESS WHAT AN ASSHOLE HE'S NO LEGEND FUCK HIM HE'S THE WORST!" >After Ultimate Warrior died. "Oh my god... This man is a legend, he's one of the best of all time. Thank you Warrior, for everything. May you rest in peace, you wonderful, lovely man. Much love."

Wow. He seems healthy here. He sounded great, breathing good. Totally different guy that said goodbye on his last night on raw.

Warrior forever! A total legend!

The Warrior may be gone, but he will live on through his warriors . my Condolences goes to the Warrior family. Rip Warrior.

rest in peace ultimate warrior

This was my dude as a kid. Him and Savage got me into wrestling and guys like Austin and and The NWO kept me watching. Lost it for a while and came back lost it and came back since.

Warrior may come off as a bit of a jerk sometimes, but if some kid had asked me, "What the haps?" I would have been ready to punch him.

I have to be honest -- I don't know why people hate Sam so much. Minus the "What's the haps" question (which is his "thing" he does for everyone), he's always respectful to his guests and is clearly a big wrestling fan. That being said, it's great to see Warrior and the WWE are starting to patch things up. A couple years ago Lesnar was contacted by Yuke's and it opened up the door for his return. At this pace, I would not be surprised if Warrior did something at WM30.

"You know, if you love the game and you love playing the game, or you like playing other kinds of games, just get into the game, man. Don't get bothered by all the other stuff. Just GET INTO IT. All the way. Just become one with it." -Ultimate Warrior on Video Games

During the first 12 seconds I thought he was gonna rip off sams head. Whats the haps indeed. "LOAD THE SPACESHIP WITH THE ROCKET FUEL!"- Ultimate Warrior, whilst promoting wrestling.

Rest in peace ultimate warrior you will be missed

While working at the Spectrum In Philly Jim was always great to me.

Don't ever interview someone again.

Jim is a tough interview. Not a bad dude, just very direct, intense, and not naturally reflective. A bit of a silly question to open with, but overall Sam handled this well.

actually Warrior is aware of John Cena. I remember a video of him at an autograph signing talking to a dad and his kid. Warrior asked the kid who his favorite wrestler was, and when the kid was hesitant...he guessed Cena or Rock...the kid eventually answered "Undertaker".

The Ultimate Warrior mentioned Opie & Anthony, that's cool!

Lol , what’s the happs , is that a trick question?? I was wondering the same thing!

Here in 2023. RIP Warrior.

Sam, you are like one of very very few people who bring consistently great interviews out of people. I don't wanna admit it but I have to, you do a better job than O & A when it comes to interviews.

I loved the Warrior back in the day. I only went to one wwf/wwe wrestling event. And that was when the warrior came to Fort Wayne. Just loved everything about him. His face paint, muscles, his arm bands, his combination of bright colors,his 80's like rock and roll hair, his color costume style. He was the guy who rescued wwf fans from Hulk hogan and his boring tenure of not getting beat. That being said; i admit looking at these you tube videos of him,[Warrior]. He's a complete a-s whole.

If the Warrior just went to the hospital the night after Raw he'd still be here. He was suffering a massive heart attack at the Hall of Fame, Wrestlemania, and then Raw. Not one person made him go to the ER.

Glad to see a guy from that period that is fine with moving on with his life. I wish people from his generation realized "hey, I did what I did, now, we have video games and DVDs and action figures where people from this day and age can discover us." If only Ric Flair and Hogan realize that, they can stop being afraid of the "who's Ric Flair? or Who is Hulk Hogan?" It will happen no matter what.

Actually.....that was about as polite and endearing a Warrior interview as there ever has been.

Warrior was pretty nice and humble here. That guy interviewing him was pretty annoying. Could have ended up in a quick gorilla press.

lol, when he said that my first thought was "who says that??"

Still loved looking at himself. "Ill look good forever."

The ultimate warrior was the best most mysterious character ever ! he really lost him in the act was brilliant ...shame the other wrestlers are still jealous of him!

RIP Ultimate Warrior You will be missed.

Ultimate warrior is awesome Rest in peace ultimate warrior

Haps? hahaha OMG

WARRIOR WAS THE SHIT!!!! I remember the push up challenge that introduced the Earthquake!!!!

hahaha i love all the wrestlers reaction to "what's the haps"... sam rules.

I really like and appreciate how he seperated himself from the ultimate warrior stating it's a character which it is. This is unlike Terry who just believes he is Hulk Hogan. His not it's a character . There are movie star's who believe they are who they have protrayed in screen. It's a loss if reality

I think warrior was a really good but intense guy who felt persecuted and fought back for years. Finally it was nice to see him relax a bit. I wish he survived as we probably would of seen more of him.

so glad he gets hall of fame, I loved the over the top persona of his, i didn't understand the interviews but so what they were cool none the less lol I didn't pre-order wwe 2k14 cause I keep myself strictly on a 2 game reserve limit, and I had pre-ordered gta v (yeah I know, sorry, I caved to the hype ) so I bought the regular copy, but I played the warrior vs hogan match over and over, lol and today I see the 3rd dlc pack....next to that is Warrior and ABA Taker (yay!) lol

RIP Warrior an inspiration to all much love

Warrior knew exactly what Roberts was talking about but he wasn’t playing into his silly slang bullshit. Warrior basically said fuck “the happs”

Whats the haps? even I didn't know wtf that meant, lol

Man, this whole video you could tell Warrior really wanted to say some batshit crazy stuff, but held it in.

The only time this wasn't the case was in the mid 90's when WCW was rising and a lot of its former stars (Austin, Foley, Simmons, etc) went to WWF. Vince needed them so he couldn't afford making them jobbers but he did rebrand them (Austin as SCSA, Foley/Cactus Jack as Mankind, Johnny B Badd as Marc Mero, Dustin Rhodes as Gold Dust, Maxx Payne as Man Mountain Rock, etc).

The Ultimate Warrior makes you realize that whatever you put your heart in and your focus on, it's real and NOW...And the Ultimate Warrior was real...still is...

Warrior was awesome in every possible way. A legend 🤘

Still full head of hair and he is still is great shape.

him, kane(late 90's one), and HBK are my favorite wrestlers

he's the man

i still got the warrior on my 8 bit nintendo game btw lol

The dude was lucky Warrior was in his good state of mind, that first question would have ended the entire session.

Having a chance to interview The Ultimate Warrior would be amazing. Starting it off with "What's the haps?" You're just a dork.

As if you would look ultimate warrior in the face and go "WHAT'S THE HAPPS ULTIMATE WARRIOR" hahahahaha

what a top notch guy

Is the ep O&A on anywhere when Sam brings this in?

The Warrior didn't ruin his career but got pretty much what he wanted out of it. He started wrestling when he was in his mid 20s, so he didn't want to wrestle straight through his 40s or 50s especially given the house show schedule. He had other things he wanted to do with his life. I too wish his interesting character would've been around longer but I can totally understand why he wanted to stop. What you see as anger I see as a straight shooter who doesn't like the BS/politics in the business

It's not like he came to them, begging to be in the game. They came to him with the offer to include Ultimate Warrior in WWE2K14. Clearly they were respectful and professional enough in their approach, because he therefore accepted and seems excited about it.

All the podcasts about how terrible a person the Warrior was and yet in every interview prior to his death he comes across warm-hearted, intelligent and very passionate about the character he created. Its about time the vets rethought their opinion of him

The power of the Warrior is eternal I have not watched WWE since The Rock & Stone Cold I hope the Warriors get a chance to see the most intense sports entertainer in recorded history enter the squared circle again.

What a great, true, open minded guy Warrior is

He sadly died 8 or 9 months after this interview. His poor kids were so young and so was he.

Rip brother :(

Awesome I'm still a big fan if the ultimate warrior

Watching all his past interviews and this, he has mellowed down ALOT

I think we all loved the fuckin ultimate warrior !!!...he was a beast and over all energy...crazy and strong...an amazing showman and great persona !!!..love you warrior. .RIP Jim...✌👺💪

He has his own company where he creates comic books, art, all the stuff you see on him like the warrior face painted trench coats that is all from his company Ultimate Creations Inc. he's an entrepreneur.

Classy work Sam.

Nice to see Warrior in actually good spirits. Hopefully he gets in the HOF, would be a great speech from him I bet

Most of the comments here bashing Sam about the first question, it's actually a very good interview.

Warrior owned that kid with his stupid "whats the haps" thing lol! Warrior rulez !
