Ultimate Warrior Died 8 Years Ago Today. Fav Moments

[WaylonMercy5150]

My fav Warrior moment was SumerSlam 88 when he squashed Honkey

I always thought HTM was a creep

 

[Small Town Andrew]

A lot of great moments.

His match with Rick Rude at wrestlemania 5 and the rematch at Summerslam 1990 were both great matches. Rude really knew how to work with Warrior and they had great chemistry.

Savage vs Warrior at Wrestlemania 7 is one of my favorite matches of all time. It was ahead of it's time with all the false finishes and just a tremendous story and build to the match. A 5 star match for sure. The Summerslam 1992 match against Macho Man was very good also

I feel like his match with Hoke @ WM 6 was really good as well. Prolly my 2nd fav moment.

My fav Warrior promo was when he was with Macho and they were the mega maniacs.

Fondest memories of him were his feud with Rude and their pose down where Warrior got beat in the posing and then beat down with the flex bar.

I liked when he walked to the ring instead of making his usual entrance for that match. It immediately set the tone.

 

[Jkillah]

I really liked it when he shook the ropes.

 

[gspieler]

When he no-sold Trips at Mania.

 

[BigSexy444]

Loved him as a kid. Still love him now as a "smarter" fan. Was almost perfect for what his character was suppose to be.

[My Spot]

Warrior hauling ass down the entrance area to save Hogan at WM8. Gorilla sounds like a kid marking out on commentary.

 

[Elzio Dennick]

He had an interesting story starting out as he did with Sting, he was Rock, Dingo Warrior, in my opinion he possessed the best physique ever in the biz. While his mic skills where.....what?.....it kinda worked for him....kinda. As we know only Hogan was less skilled as a wrestler but who really cared?

 

[deezy]

I liked his Hogan shoot.

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

His Summerslam 1992 match with Randy Savage, that was such a good match! and one of his best in ring performances

 

[Clark Rogers]

I was a huge Warrior fan as a kid, he was literally the only wrestler that mattered to me in my early wrestling fan days.

had the wwe warrior makeup kit, that fucking pillow buddy thing they made, you name the warrior merch, I prob had it.

back then my favorite was his feud with Shango, the black goo coming down his head, etc. it wasn't his best work, just what got my little mind going I guess.

also enjoyed him and Taker, the casket match, other stuff they did. maybe I just had a thing for the macabre.

My fav Warrior moment was SumerSlam 88 when he squashed Honkey

I was actually at this event. My friend's dad took him, his sister, and me to MSG to see it. I can't believe it's been 34 years. This match in particular was kind of shit since it pretty much consisted of Warrior running out from the locker run in a coke-fueled sprint and just squashing Honky Tonk in seconds, but damn. Everyone popped hard for that shit.

I also remember being on the concourse as we were leaving, with people around us starting an "LT" chant while there didn't seem to be any sign of Lawrence Taylor around, haha.

 

[Patrick Jane]

My favorite moments when he yelled at me in YouTube videos that i should just succeed and not give a fuck. Those videos stayed with me more that his terrible wrestling itself. I remember one time when he defeated a jobber with a splash and i was absolutely shocked to see that this one time, he actually used a half nelson to turn over his opponent for a pin. That was the best wrestling i have ever seen him do, lol. I actually had to search for like an hour to find a match where he applied as much as a headlock.

 

[LEWIS540]

Like many he was a favourite of mine as a kid, and hopefully he genuinely turned his life around before he died.

That said, it's pretty obvious he was a selfish, arrogant prick. Seems a good proportion of the top stars were back then *cough cough*, Flair, Hogan, Michaels etc etc.

The fact that WWE now puts him on a pedestal, even making an "inspirational award" in his honour, is both bizarre and pathetic.


Favourite moments were SmmerSlam 88 and Survivor Series 1990.
