Wrestlers Talk: The Ultimate Warrior 

.

Hate to ask and im sure its a long shot and impossible. But what would it take for myself and my 13yr old nephew to meet and hangout with stone cold

@@keithirick1240 lmao is this a real question!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

@@Bbknuckles yes it is a real question!!! My nephew is 13yrs old and has mental illness and he's not mentally 13yrs old. He's in small classes because of learning disability so don't laugh at something you don't know about. I've had him and his sister for 7yrs now because of the parents choose other people and drugs so I have full custody of them. Im disabled after being diagnosed with a rare kidney disease at 5yrs old and started dialysis at age 16yrs old dude. I lost my life more times than I can count during those times. I missed all my childhood and doctors thought I wouldn't have even make it through my teenage yrs. Had a transplant and its doing good but my body just can't handle all work labor in jobs. I deal with depression anxiety! My nephew loves wrestling and he's always dreamed about meeting all kinda wrestlers. Yes its probably a really long shot but hey what's wrong with me trying to ask!!!!!! I shouldn't even have responded to you but god bless ya man thank you for your service.

@@keithirick1240 wow ok I really care about your life story guy, we all have problems. I laughed at your stupid question not your nephew dumbass. Go beg Steve directly on twitter or contact make a wish smart one.

*NAILED IT BRO!!* I'm more fascinated in the stories of yesteryear than watch today's garbage! Marty Jannetty is a fuckin crack up! 😂🍺 From *New Zealand* ☝🏾🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Ya I agree

nowadays

When you watch enough of these videos everyone hates each other and everyone was a peice of crap.

Can't agree more

he sold to an up & coming undertaker

beefcake is completely lying 😅😅😅, he was a mid carder @ best, warrior @ one period was at the same level or greater than Hogan.

Bret is still my #1 GOAT, but Warrior is like a theatrical device that proves most wrestlers want their cake and to eat it to. You'll hear them constantly bitch how work rate and being the best technically in the ring doesn't matter, it's about getting over with the fans. Unless you're Warrior lmao. Guy captured the hearts of millions, made his money, and GTFO. I don't excuse his roughness and actually hurting others in the ring, that is indeed a hard line that I won't argue. But to act like the business isn't about drawing money is hilarious when it's not going their way, etc.

Poor Superstar Billy Graham, frozen stiff with fear cause everyone else was out in the outer limits in that car.

That’s when the roids and drugs were still working for the warrior

I was already laughing at the picture in my head, and that line (determined to take shortcuts in a town he knew nothing about) had me literally screaming, well... not screaming but like scream laughing. You know what I mean. God, that is just fucking priceless.

I can't handle it

I died laughing. Just imagining that scene lol

He actually helped me through some hard times with his injections of inspiration on O. W. N.

There is no doubting warrior was super over with the fans. Backstage he was clearly difficult to work with. Now i understand some wrestlers will speak the tune of wwe especially if they are employed by them but even former wrestlers and those not on good terms with wwe don't have many positive things to say about him. No doubt he had a great look, great body, energetic entrance, but he didn't want to improve his skills. Shawn michaels was a difficult guy to work with in the mid to late 90s by his own admission but he always did different things and improved his skills. Warrior didn't.

Me too loved Warrior, i think a lot of this is jealousy amongst wrestlers.

Hell yeah ultimate warrior was badass in the late 80s!

@@johnnyappleseed9638 I honestly don't think it's about jealousy. I think the vast majority of wrestlers want to improve, entertain and get along with everyone. Wrestling is like any other job, you gotta see these people weekly, there's no reason to create unnecessary friction. I think we all loved Warrior, but it's not attacking him to say he was difficult to work with and self centered. Every single wrestler says the same things about him, I believe it.

This is true

I didn’t like him when I was a kid. I didn’t like Hogan either. Both were overrated

i I could say same thing if not more HOGAN....Every kid loved Hogan.....But face the truth,as a wrestler Warrior sucked hard ,he was a gimmick ,nothing more.His entrance took 80% of his energy,and other wrestlers had to get beat quickly cause Warrior had NO GAS TANK......His interviews were bizarre as hell,could never understand a word......Great entertainer (entrance & look) but as a wrestler not much.......

@@chuckfinley6747 i agree, i was a brett hart and razor ramone guy, also mr perfect! Thought ultimate warrior was lame!

I’m 39 and never like Warrior or Hogan as a kid. I was more of Ted DiBiase & Roddy Piper fan. The villains were always more fun to watch.

He's doing a great job over in AEW right now..

Jake could have been Hogans biggest heel for years if he could have stayed focused they all did drugs some did enough to get high but still maintained their composure Jakes demons and Magnum T.A. car wreck killed the careers of the 2 biggest shooting stars of the 80s and 90s

Every interview I see with Jake, it’s always everyone else’s fault. With anything. Jake was unreliable.

Watch the dark side of the ring on grizzley smith, jake went through so much we didn't know about. Just debuted 2 days ago.

@@everybodywantstoruletherad279 watch his new documentary. He went through hell as a kid. Dad was a real monster. Vicetv doc.

#Irony

@Newrounder Absolutely no one kicked out of finishes back then unless it was something like the main event of WrestleMania. Sid had an issue with Warrior kicking out of his finish on house shows.

You must have stopped watching after Sid with that asinine statement..

@Newrounder because warrior was known for kicking out of finishers in a very no-sell way, like he was just too powerful for moves to truly hurt him. its dumb and didnt help the business one bit @ that time, when kayfabe was still relatively strong.

What I gathered was the fact it was constant, rather than a different way of ending the match. Since Warrior kicking out of the powerbomb, especially with the way he would do it, would just shit on Sid. I got the impression his issue was the same finish that made him look weak.

He is a Rocker. 🤪

Lol

Glorious

Sunglasses inside

More like a hair band cover front man! Your comment was definitely needed for the well deserved 😂🤣

any gym stories ronald? specific lifts/poundages that he used? cheers

@@cosmic687 I remember good form and moderate weight. His wife trained there too. Nice as well.

@@cosmic687 Pacific Gym in Dallas.

@@ronaldmccutcheon1329 the 1988 physique was the most impressive I've ever seen. thanks for the info!

@@cosmic687 Interesting. That's exactly when I would see him.

Raving good sir👌

Yeah, but those ranting & ravings turned him into a global mesgastar

Got to love Kevin Sullivan 😂😂😂

Just one of the boys

😆

😂

Yeah just look the video!!!

You do know that wwe changes the crowds reactions all the time, right? I don't know about this particular incident, but they've done it a lot in the past

Example?

@@alabasterfigueroa4431 Yeah, but I saw WM6 live on PPV, and unless they were pumping cheers through the speakers live, then there's no question in my mind that Warrior's win went over huge. I get that skepticism when it comes to wrestling: I question it every time Jake Roberts talks about how you can't do the DDT safely anywhere but in the ring, I question it whenever Hogan talks about not knowing whether Andre was willing to do the job at WM3, and I question the legitimacy of several famous shoot moments. But given what you can still see and hear at the end of WM6, combined with Bruti's tendency to defend Hogan in any situation, it just makes more sense to believe your eyes and ears. And that's not a slap at brother Bruti, either. I always liked the Barber character and enjoyed his matches more than others seem to.

He tried to say the honky tonk run in win was bs. Lmao ya right!!! Thats one of the all time great moments in wrestling

Sadly that's all he had going for him cause he was shit when it came to wrestling

@@kevinfightsbears very true

Then he was so tried he couldn't even preform. I'm not going to say wrestle. Because he COULDN'T.

What’s wrong with that.

Hell yeah

Hit the nail on the ol Head there bud.

😂 😂

He looks like HE WAS IN whitesnake!

Agreed, Marty seems like a good bro

Definitely not the guy to hang around with if your trying to quit. I haven't drank in years and he made me think for a sec.

Seems like one of the few who don't take themselves to serious

I always liked him better than micheals

Facts!

about 200 pounds ago.

Haha

Hahaha right? I thought it was Honkey Tonk Man when he first came on.

@Dutch3k5 i'm so glad i'm not the only one that saw that lol

Lolol!! On a serious note though I waited on Brutus and Greg Valentine. Brutus was a cool and a humble guy, Greg Valentine was in his own world and on his phone the whole time. Beefcake too was sporting some stretch pants and the infamous "fanny pack" that all the wrestlers and body builders wear.. 😂👍

WARRIOR WAS NEVER OVER HE WAS A HOGAN WANNABE

Barry McDonough I don’t know where you were living or how old you were in the late 80s, but there was a stretch where Warrior was probably the most popular wrestler in the WWF.

@@barrymcdonough344 You need to never speak about wrestling again with that dumbass comment.

Brutus talking crap here, and Barry. Warrior was massive! Bigger than most wrestlers at that time.

Warrior is the best ever. Forget everyone else. He made his own character and was totally different from anyone else....and he was his own man and made a lot of money.

Right 😂

Well.. most of these were recorded before he died.. This is when Warrior was going on a verbal warpath on everyone..

Literally just got to that......"shuffle your feet"

Calm swag is a whole different type. Flair's swag was a hyped up style. Warrior's swag was maximized intensity... But Jake had this calm intensity that would be very hard to fake. All 3 are legendary, so different, so awesome

Soon as searched for jake and read your response to see what those said. I laughed. I loved his impersonation of Jake.

They are great, but I'm not sure how much I believe him all of the time. This story, I believe, as he's told it before. It's coherent enough to be true and he changes slight bits to account for memory drift, whereas if it was a lie, the story would either get more hugely embellished or stay exactly the same.

the first thing i thought of when beefcake said the fans were booing was, imust be thinking of a differnet match.

He is just a Hogan CRONY

Beefcake is Hogan's wife

Your right they were also cheering for Hogan because real fans appreciated the fact he did the job for Jim. There were no boo's at all. Beefcake and ex-pac are 2 of the most full of shit wrestlers ever. Beefcake will put Hogan on a godly pedistal every time and ex-pac has been at every major event in wrestling sense 1945 lol

No you weren't, shut up

I like what you wrote. I never was that much into the WWE, and never met any major wrestlers. the Ultimate Warrior was so unique and his body so damed shredded and ripped. I always considered him the most exciting wrestler to watch IMO. RIP indeed! God bless!!

The guy didn't WIN anything. The idiot could've had a long career with a lot of big paydays but he was too focused on the short-term. Now that's probably because he had no talent or love for the business, and maybe he was smart enough to realize that eventually promoters would catch on that he couldn't put on a decent match without a metric ton of help. So if that was the case, then yeah, he was smart in getting paid and getting out. But in terms of the money he could've made if he was willing to play ball, he lost out on a fortune by being an untrustworthy man-child. And really, the only good thing he did for the business was fuck off fast, and make way for guys who Actually give a shit and can wrestle.

@Sinister 1 wrong. Warrior died on my birthday an hour after I cut my birthday cake. He died of a heart disease while walking to the car from his hotel room with his wife. Don't need steroids to get a heart disease.

That is great to hear that he was great with the fans. I met Savage once and he was a grumpy dude who acted like he would rather be anywhere than be with the fans...it wasn't just one fan. It's too bad because I loved him as a wrestler and I only met him once so this is my lasting memory of the guy.

@@trebillis7399 i had the opposite interaction with him. I was a kid but he was great. Several pictures and he decided to get up and come around and do some poses. Held me up in gorilla press position, on his shoulder while we held up number one ☝️, and he held me by my ankle with one arm and flexed with the other. It was tight. One of the reasons I stopped watching WWF exclusively, and would watch WCW sometimes. I must’ve caught him on a good day.

Watch him tell a story about the iron shiek, one of the funniest stories I’ve ever heard

Exactly. As a kid I was into Piper as a brawler, Jake and Rude as showmen, Perfect for technical ability and swagger... Warrior made up for all of that with that psycho power gimmick. All I wanted to see was him run down there and destroy people for 20 seconds and when he did it was fucking magical.

@@invade81 awesome! I agree. Loved Roberts and Rude as well. Piper too.

I came around the time he was fading but he looked like a superhero . I thought he should've been in Spiderman rather than a ring. Great design

Funny that all anyone can say about the warrior was his name and look because his wrestling skills were absolutely horrid and he was by far thee most overrated garbage wrestler to have ever existed..

Warrior marks are the same as Goldberg marks... Just trapped in their childhood.

I like Warrior. But there is some truth in this lol.

it was crazy listening to him . but that was his character and he fucking nailed it , it does make sense if you're paying attention to what he's saying !! warrior man

LOL I have gone back and listened to a lot of Sullivans promos from Florida and the Carolinas and I laugh sometimes like WTF is he talking about!!

I like hearing stories like these

Stop whining

whatever you say, edgelord...@@yourdaddy6030

I agree. Valentine was one of the greats

Valentine could be thrown into any match with anyone and be credible as an opponent. Well, until he signed off on the Rhythm and Blues gimmick. The man could flat out work and the fans respected him.

I know Warrior has the personality of a brick wall.

Valentine, he was a great heel back in the day, he was always working.

I've posted this before but I like your comment and you're right and at the risk of being redundant: I know Greg well and he'd be the first to tell you that he's not that high energy spot guy and never was but he was, especially in his younger days, a very reliable hand. He was always a believer in less is more. He could go out there and do little as possible for a 20 minute match and draw great heat for it. He could work with just about anyone and make it a decent to good match too. He was a good worker that really understood what the business was back then.

Crackhead Bulldog

those guys always seem to be a class act

Bro that whole story cracked me up from beginning to end!!

They had that. The self destruction of the ultimate warrior

@@emmettallen9438 nah he said movie, not hit job from jealous slobs

@@emmettallen9438 that WWE dvd was pure shite. McMahon trying to destroy the image,legacy of Warrior in Wwf as he s done with other wrestlers that left Wwf/Wwe

wasn't the wrestler with mickey rourke sort of based on warrior?

Who would play him? The problem is it is hard to find people with the physique of these wrestlers. I think that is why we don't see many wrestling movies. You can see the problem on Young Rock.

If he passes the joint it should be illegal to turn it down

Rocker 4Life

He killed a dude at a bowling alley once tho

How is Jake still alive when so many of those guys are long gone?!

Nice to Jake got his life back on track

I saw that too 👀

Honestly, Brutus is much better than warrior

@@danielfee33 haha no.. Warrior is starpower..

He’s a mark for his homie Hulk, whaddaya expect

"Perfectly put" I sense you agree with me that booking Perfect to lose this match destroyed Perfects push as the greatest heel. Terrible decision that only Beefcakes family wouldve agreed with.

I believe it was Perfect's first televised loss. I don't understand why they gave that honor to Brutus.

He's got great stories. Look for him shooting on the Sheik lol

You mean high as hell?

@@sza3434 perhaps Heineken 🤣🤣

Doesn't change the fact the that he was a worthless and talentless performer and an even worse human being.

I hated the ultimate faggot end of story

@Pedro Sepulveda Actually, I hate anyone who isn't white.

gst013 Exactly! If Ed Leslie wasn’t Hogan’s butt boy he wouldn’t have moved up half as much as he did in getting over.

Rusty Kuntz I think it was the first Wrestlemania I ever watched - Brutus is incorrect, Warrior got a HUGE pop for beating ‘Hoak Hogan’!

I would have loved to been there. That hours ride would have probably been more entertaining than an average life span

Especially the off hand comment that the Bulldogs were known to spike drinks! What a business.

Plasticy and chubby 😂😂😂

🤣

Lol! That plasticy is the juice, baby!

Anthony Sullivan not steroids! Maybe vodka and juice!

Class? Everybody pretty much said the same thing. He was an ass to his co workers. The truth is the truth!

Ax is ridiculously smart, and Smash is a perfect teammate. Always great to listen to them.

Great guy who knew how to give a kick ass match in and out of ring

Seem like cool guys, they were crazy wrestlers back in the day.

@@siler7 ax was a teacher

Yes, I enjoyed him too. Unfortunately met him once and he was a jerk, but enjoyed him as a wrestler.

And he looked like a middle aged lesbian back then lol

He looks like a retired heavy metal singer.

Lololol

Big Roasts Tyrone osw

Funny thing is I have heard just as many wrestlers say bad things about Brutus as they do about Warrior. I like Brutus as a wrestler, but seems his peers did not.

@@trebillis7399 that dude is crap! Had just as much skill as Warrior.

I was scared of Kamala. Putting VOODOO magic on me

Zeus.

As a kid I was a huge Hulk Hogan fan (not as much today) and 2 wrestlers that had me worried for Hogan was Undertaker and Andre the Giant. I remember being legit worried Hogan was going to get hurt.

Intensity always sells if its done correctly. Warrior and Goldberg had it

Yeah, even Hogan said that people were more concerned with watching the loser leave the ring than with watching the winner get the belt. But what's fucked up nowadays is that unless you were there, and unless you had seen it on TV when it happened, you really don't know what kind of pop there was because SFX has added crowd noise post production on so many big events.

That's defo how I remembered it ultimate warrior was my favourite wrestler

i never heard one kid in school wanting to be the beefcake.... not one he's hogans buddy and is jealous because all beefcake did was ride on hogans coat tails

Beefcake has jealous AF written all over his forehead.......if you look at his interviews...he never talked shit about Warrior when he was alive...all this comes after he died.....he continually bashes Warrior now every chance he gets

I can't believe I heard that come out of his mouth. Holy shit man. Beefcake is going to have his picture beside the definition of "delusional".

Beefcake blowed hogan for years how did that piece of trash get in hall of fame he was and is a loser!

With the amount of cocaine involved, be thankful that anybody remembers anything about the loop and who was in it....

HTM isn’t any more of a credible source 😂

They had a TV taping in providence, ri right before warrior won the belt at summerslam- it was a rehearsal for it, because honky challenged anybody, and warrior came out and pinned honky the same exact squash. He was taped as the ic champ for the show, and Jack Tunney later reversed the decision. Once beefcake couldn't appear, the plan changed, but it wasnt last minute.

🤣😂

He looks like my middle school gym teacher (who also wasn’t a man). Love you coach blandford

Truth

@Johnny Guillotine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who was.not a man LMAOOOOO

He was a terrible wrestler

@@zne29m37 In Ring Ability: 1 out of 10 Charisma: 8 out of 10 Appearance: 10 out of 10 Professional wrestling isn't just about wrestling, it's entertainment. Ultimate Warrior was a star in the business. He sold tickets and made the company a lot of money during that time.

@AceGoodheart need all three to be a star, loads of people were not fans of him because of this

@@zne29m37 Well then I'd say Roman Reigns isn't a star either. Nor is Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Goldberg, Jon Moxley. and quite a few more because they all lack in 1 of the 3 categories.

@@AceGoodheart Roman Reigns a know who he is but never watch him or wrestling in 18 years

Yep... That’s what made him special!! He can say whatever he wanted and we still loved him!!

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Warrior was a raging coke head.
