Scot Hall said it best "In Wrestling they either like you or they don't. When he ran to the ring and shaked the ropes they cheered and you can't teach that."

The Million Dollar Man is one of the top 5 heels in history in my opinion. Great in ring ability, absolutely amazing on the mic & that great laugh 😂

The week that Ric Flair lost in Saskatoon to Bret Hart, the WWF came to Charlottetown Prince Edward Island for a house show. (Ric of course didn't come, he had that inner ear problem at the time, not that any of us knew that.) There were 4000 people there, which was a big house for that town but was tiny by WWF standards, and for the most part, the talent was basically punching and kicking their way through the matches, not taking any risks for such a small crowd. The most impressive move of the night was Ted DiBiase giving the Ultimate Warrior a vertical suplex. Of course Ted lost the match, but I still appreciated the bit extra he did for our small crowd.

Warrior vs Goldburg would have been hillarious

[JuniorLewingKoo]

Warrior gimmick was great. Fans love him. Wrestlers hate him.

[TruLife]

Warrior was the biggest star overseas after Hogan for a wild! We loved him

Thing about Ultimate Warrior & Hulk Hogan: they might get loads of criticism from their peers and wrestling-connoisseurs, but without them two that era would be much less memorable. Them two formed a profound bond with young fandom which then later drove the Attitude Era as they got older and wanted more.

A lot of ex-pros always like to say "I didn't understand why Vince was pushing Warrior/Hogan"....and they still don't get it. But Vince got it. And so did the fans.

Whatever negative comments people say about warrior what can't be denied is that he was perfect for the WWF cartoon era he was colourful had charisma and personality

[wildeirishpoet]

Jeez no one like warrior. Vince knew how to capitalize on warriors hubris. Warrior knew how to pump up a crowd. Something many entertainers just don't know how to do now in all forms of entertainment.

1 of the best Heels in wrestling history

[garrymclaughlan]

Ted should have been the wwf champion at least once.

[lastlaff]

This guy is an absolute legend. A true heel who knew how to play the part.

[GuiOmania]

Warrior is still larger then life and still sell a shit load of merch even dead !!!

[andremarc]

Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker, Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels are my 5 favorite wrestlers of all time.... Macho Man Randy Savage, Andre The Giant and Bret Hart are also in my favorites.

I like that background/wooden screen
behind Ted..

[dionruffin]

I really think most people nowadays don’t understand context. People aren’t disrespecting Warriors these are just true stories from people who had to work with him so if you were a Warrior fan in the 80’s just remember him as one of your favorites

[lilypacastsupper]

I don't understand how issuing ultimatums to Vince is a bad thing. Not everyone wants to join the "kiss my rear-end club"

[ltopomcfly]

Respect for Ted but guys who personally disliked Jim Hellwig don't see how new and exciting Warrior was to kid fans. Kids don't care that his matches were repetitive and phony. He fit Vince's brand of 80s wrestling.

[anti-antifamclovin]

"his star power didn't last that long"... Warrior really squandered what could've been a legendary career. Dude had all the stars aligned for him and it went to his head

[benjamindesanti]

Ultimate Warrior today would be a bigger draw then AEW and Monday Night Raw
