That’s awesome to hear. Hear so many bad things about him when he was in the business. Glad you had positive interactions with him.

I'm so jealous

Bullshit

I've had about the same experience with Paul Orndorff in Fayetteville, Ga. He was very kind and generous with his time

I still see his brother all the time. Hes actually bigger than the warrior was. Use to wonder why with him being such a star why his brother drove a car on its last leg, lived in section 8 housing and counted change for groceries. His mother was a nice lady mowed her yard a few times.

I heard he's small in person

@@gregpettis1113 6 foot 2...he may have shrunk 1 inch or so due to age.

That's f-in awesome!! Imagine hearing that from a wrestling and bodybuilding champion who knows what a true Warrior is 💯 thank you for your service 🫡

Thank you for your service

Correction, you served in the Army. HOOAH!

He still is for me rip to the ultimate warrior 🤙🏽

@Josh Traffanstedt you weren't the only one!! I was obsessed with the Warrior, Macho Man, and The Road Warriors! That time period was the only time I was truelly a hardcore fan of wrestling.. whenever I got see them on TV or pay per view, it was the best!

He was horrible, could barely wrestle.

He was definitely mine as a kid

@@ethanedwards7557 most children didn't know that. Heck most adults didn't know that. Honestly if it weren't for KZfaq nobody but wrestlers would have known that. He was still most people's favorite.

I watched that through the squiggly lines on bootleg PPV. When I heard the music, I nearly passed out. Lol

As a child fan, I had no idea how often Warrior legitimately injured his opponents. I would say that "most of his work" was pretty good, however.

that makes you a mark

I never enjoyed watching Hulk Hogan, Warrior and Andre the giant if compared with Austin, Rock, Taker. Just my personal opinion.

Warrior doesn’t get the proper credit he deserves. Can’t we all just enjoy what the man has accomplished and his rise to stardom, being the first ever and only one to beat prime Hogan clean and it was at WM in the skydome. Pressing Hogan at the end was the cherry on top to the greatest victory in wrestling history still to this day

@@Ballout60s "can't we just appreciate a guy who was performing a scripted performance one time? Sure he was a narcissistic, sociopathic, egotistical, bigoted idiot who refused to communicate with others and willfully let others get needlessly injured (NEEDLESSLY being the key word there. I'm going to say it again, NEEDLESSLY is the key word) BUT HE TOTALLY WON THAT ONE MATCH THAT ONE TIME Give me a freaking break. This would be like saying we should just ignore Kanye West's behavior (and NOT JUST THE MOST RECENT, the man was a pile of garbage for years, maybe decades now) just because he wrote a song that we liked one time

What do I look up to see this

@@popacap it’s on the DVD, “The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior.”

Sure beats the story of warrior fucking up Heenan's neck and never apologizing or talking to Heenan about it.

@@popacap That's in the Self Destruction DVD.

In spite of that incident, Warrior admitted that he "enjoyed working with Andre." Warrior said that if Andre didn't like working with a guy, that he'd physically him in the ring. Andre told Randy Savage not to wear baby oil, but Randy wore it anyway, and he "suffered", when Andre stepped on his hair and stretched him in the ring. Eventually, Savage caught onto the fact that Andre was not to be trifled with. Meanwhile, Randy's brother Lanny Poffo, only has great memories of Andre. In addition, Andre was very generous with his money. He refused to let Arnold Schwarzenegger pay the bill at dinner. Arnold "knew better" than to argue with Andre. 😆

hah! No sold him good! Hello? Hello?

I knew it would happen as the Warrior was supposed to be built up as godlike, like he was world championship material so him no selling the pedigree didn't surprise me though I imagine Triple H wasn't happy that the script had the Warrior get up instantly from it.

Triple h said later life he was Honored

@@Dim4323 AFTER he called Warrior a dick.

@Damien Momed The curtain call happened 2 months after their WM 12 match so that's not true

The guy was a major douche. He disrespected everyone he ever worked with and on top of that he was homophobic.. That's your hero.

Thats the sad part best part was the entrance it definately made his character.

Same like him as a kid his entrance was so like you say crazy but now did not know he's think that his above everyone else all the fame gone to his head

But then he was worn out after the entrance 🤢

@@danielsweet858 true he would get so tired run out in to ring when we were young we thought it's was so cool but now looking back no point run all the way to the ring he's would now have enough energy to fight

Mr Perfect FOR SURE, should have been champion, for an extended period. Rude would have done well with the belt. I see what you're saying, and i think your point proves exactly why he was WWF Champ only once, he was much like The Undertaker, a belt just seemed out of place on Taker, especially in the 90's.

@Josh Traffanstedt Great points made.

@Josh Traffanstedt There's no question Kane should have been champion longer and/or more often. Undertaker himself has pretty much said the same.

that was the problem having vince in charge.. he didnt think about the psychology of wrestling or try stay true to its nature... he only saw that warrior was the most popular and that he was gonna be the top guy.. so had beat hogan .. they should have never met in the ring.. as both were babyface... and like u say warrior wasnt a belt guy.. he was a cartoon character ..and again having fantasy characters doesnt go well with realism of competing for a belt .. thats what killed wrestling was way too much gimmicks rather than staying true to realistic presentation ... !

Best comment yet.I remember being told Jim had gotten into wrestling, I honestly felt a little embarrassed for him,that was not his plan.I can remember taking my friend from Indiana,passing through Atlanta to meet Jim at him and Shari's apt.he was still in school,and my friend said he should get into that wrestling shit ,I started laughing and told him ,don't say that to loud Jim hated wrestlers.

that's really bad. he couldn't even be arsed to take 1 minute and just say hi to the kid. Idk about that story but maybe he wasnt in character and thought it was inappropriate to meet someone not in full warrior gear? that's the only thing I can think of as to why that happened.

He sold his soul for the entertainment to be rich and famous not athletic and talented.

Kindness costs no money. A kind act can have an impact far greater than money. I wish more people understood this.

@@cjvaye99 According to Bret's book, Jim sat in his dressing room and continually rebuffed efforts from WWF employees to meet the kid, even for a few minutes. And that all was before he had to hit the ring for his match or even after he came back behind the curtain.

It’s a bullshit story. Bret said the SAME exact thing about Scott Hall blowing off a kid- only it was a poor boy in Kuwait instead. Isn’t it funny that even though the entire locker room saw allegedly saw both events according to Bret that after all these years not one person has confirmed either one? Bret makes shit up about the people he doesn’t like, he has a history of doing so.

He would be the perfect MAGA candidate today...crazy even without drug, but " alt"

Just cause you mentioned Nintendo power commercial wtih warrior I had to search that shit up 👊🏽

I think it was honky tonk man that said that, he always said jim was a good guy too

The Warlord said that. One of the most humble giant guys I've heard. He was just honest and admitted that everyone was jealous of the ultimate warrior. He admitted that fans just really wanted to see him and that he drew in an audience everytime.

Jealous of his inability to work, outsized ego, snapping at fans?

@@jonharrison9222 If he was unable to work, how could he filled two WrestleManias by being in one Main Event and in the "stole the show" match the following year? It's not ego whden you know the worth that you have. Snapping at fans, you mean the thing every wrestler does? We got Banks doing that last year and nobody complained, heck, people even went out of their way to say she was actually right.

You have never worked with Vince. So it's not like you would know. Your opinion means jack shit ya dumbass clown...

@@jackhammer- Are you the Jack Hammer from 90's indy wrestling fame? Maybe not but i remember wondering why that guy never got a contract with WWE. He was Road Warriorish, and could work from what i remember. He worked with a lot of the big names on the indy scene, that were former WWF stars.

@@jackhammer-....I met Bam Bam back around 92 when I was maybe 13. He was at a wrestling show at a local high school. Also there was Cactus Jack and Bambi. I spoke to Bam Bam before the match started. He was out sitting on the bleachers in this high school gym. Super Nice guy. I asked him what happened to Frenchie Martin who I remembered seeing as his manager on TV on WWF Superstars and Bam Bam told me Frenchie had suffered a heart attack a few years earlier. He gave me his autograph. He fought some masked guy called The Satanic Warrior that night. Bam Bam was without a doubt one of the greatest big men of all time in the business. He could carry anyone through a match and make it a great match. Just look at him and L.T. and how he carried that match. Im 43 now and will always remember Bam Bam fondly.

Apt, you mention Hogan. Another douchebag everyone loved

Lies again? Western Union Wake Up

Yeah man! Total respect! Hello? Hello?

How can you not like the Warrior you knob

It wasn't worth my time mentioning

The narrator is probably working with information they got straight from Jake Roberts' mouth (likely info spouted from Roberts' mouth before he got clean and finally turned his shit around too) and made the rookie af mistake of taking it at 100% face-value. Jake Roberts at the time got a seat on the WWF booking committee for 2 reasons - firstly because despite everything he has always had an immaculate mind for pro wrestling booking and promos; secondly (and FAAAAAR more importantly in terms of why he got that job) because the infamous WWF "Ring Boy" scandal had just happened, forcing Vince & WWF to fire Pat Patterson, leaving a spot on the committee that needed to be filled. From day 1 the intention was just for Jake to hold that spot until the aftermath of the scandal blew over, at which point they'd quietly re-hire Pat, give him his spot back and continue business as usual. Which is what they did. I'm pretty sure Jake ultimately quit WWF altogether because he didn't get a pay raise after being put on the booking committee (maybe he also tried to book himself to become WWF Champion too, but if he did naturally Vince would've veto'd it because he was Jake Roberts and it was friggin' 1991). And then later in life he just used Helwig's spectacular career suicide as a scapegoat for his own self destructive ways. Kinda like how Roberts blames his whole entire history of drug addiction on the fact that when he had his feud against the upcoming Honky Tonk Man, Honky whacked him with his guitar during a TV segment, which Roberts claimed injured his neck thus putting him on painkillers thus lifelong drug addiction cuz of lifelong neck pain. Even though Roberts had failed tons of wellness checks (for all sorts of drugs including coke) before WWF even hired Honky, even though Roberts wrestled fine every day after that TV segment, and even though Honky gimmicked the fuck out of that guitar so much (by cutting a zillion slices into it with a razor blade then using a sharpie to cover up the exposed wood) that he was worried merely picking it up would cause it to fall apart. I'm glad Jake has finally gotten his shit together and seems to be on the road to dying genuinely happy after having led such a brutal fucking life.....but anything he ever said before getting well (and honestly even a lot of what he says even now after getting well) should be instinctively considered horseshit.

Jake was an unreliable drug addict and drunk who was known to miss shows. Warrior was right to put him in his place.

@@rayclam8079 Yeah except Jake's story was bullshit so Helwig never actually "put him in his place."

There was also talk about Jake "the Snake" Roberts getting a feud with Hulk Hogan over the then WWF Championship, but Hogan nixed the idea. Apparently Jake was getting more cheers than Hogan was, and Hogan didn't like it.

@@dildonius enjoyed reading that

I had the bulk hogan work out set.. lol 🤣

?? Mans didn’t watch the video lol

Most people fail to realize that the Ultimate Warrior's career wasn't long enough for him to be worthy of all the criticism he's gotten. He only worked as a pro wrestler, off-and-on between different promotions, for maybe 7 years, at most. He took long breaks between his various stints. The guys that Warrior worked with are just a bunch of jealous haters.

Warrior was a narcissistic, selfish, racist, homophobic, conservative jackass. He was one of the most hated wrestlers ever.

@@magazineretriever9036 - I don't like the Warrior but lets be honest the Wrestling business has always been known as a dirty cesspool of lies and betrayals and politicking. You kind of have to act the way the Warrior did or he would have gotten taken advantage of.

@@williamgregg6339 You have to be a racist homophobe? Never heard that before.

My grandma had a huge crush on him lol

Yes, the Ultimate Warrior "character" was among the best creations in the history of pro wrestling. He really got over with the fans.

So you got into wrestling when you were like 3??

The kind of guy who claims to be an 80s kid but was born the ass end of the decade lol. 13 in 2000, that means when warriors big run was beginning you were just born. You don't remember f all about it.

The fans liked the Ultimate Warrior more than the guys who worked with him, but that is true of many other pro wrestlers. Many wrestlers liked Warrior. Among them were: Kerry Von Erich, Bad News Brown, Hawk, Animal, Axe, Smash, Warlord, Haku, Hercules, Kamala, Orlando Jones, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Owen Hart, Al Perez, and Sensational Sheri. If you watch a lot of past interviews from when these people were alive, they actually speak "highly" of Ultimate Warrior. He used to pay for Kamala's hotel rooms, because Kamala was only paid $30k a year, which got eaten up quickly on the road. Warrior also "meticulously" went over the spots with Sheri Martel to make sure that he didn't injure her during his matches with the Macho King.

@David Jones after the attitude era it was all down hill after..

So you stopped watching wrestling at its peak? Idk how you could remember Warrior’s run if you were still a toddler.

Wrestlefest!

It's always a shame when your childhood heroes turn out to be not so heroic. Same with Hogan all the awful stories. Eh, we're all human and nobody is perfect. You still HATE to hear these stories, though.

I spent a summers worth of lawn mowing money at 7-11 playing that game and drinking big gulps.

It had little to do with his ego, racism, homophobia, etc etc etc.

@@mykoniichistorychannel Warrior was such a racist he went out of his way to help Kamala and Bad News Brown, or even put over Orlando Jordan in his last wrestling appearance, the same Jordan who is a bisexual. Maybe people should stop thinking the self destruction DVD and era of talking about Warrior was a shoot, they were telling what the company they were signed to wanted them to say (just like "Death of WCW" towards Russo). At the end of the day, yes, it was because Warrior became a Hogan-level star in a short amount of time with "just three moves and an entrance" when the Perfects, the Michaels, the Bret, couldn't fill the Manathan Center even with the most intricate of holds.

@@Paugose Have some copium. His words underlined what he was. He said it outright, so spare me.

@@mykoniichistorychannel ​His words being "from the moment you were born, you have the potential to do great things" or "Everyday is an opportunity for you to start getting control of your life and fullfilling your destiny" (and those were out of character lines).

minus his long promo's were you didnt know what the hell he was talking about lol

I am the same age range and agree 💯 FULLY with your observations on warrior. He was extraordinary in his prime in the late 80s and early 90s. I'm getting nostalgia even ✍️ writing this. I love you warrior RIP. He was a gigantic part of my childhood. They can never diminish his legacy in my eyes. Not everyone is an extrovert sheep 🐑. Warrior did it his way on his terms which is epic.

@@Rondondemarco i strongly disagree. After researching a comment made on this very thread I found out that warrior had indeed made quite a few racist remarks in public. That's who the warrior was. Glad I know the truth now.

@@taalibhossandorff8287 dude, Warrior would say some stereo typical things to some people like to a Hindu race. Then would talk to another Hindu guy signed his autograph poster and take a picture with the Hindu guy's whole family. He'll Tell him "thanks for your support can't wait to see y'all the next time." He talked trash to ALL... the white wrestlers. As a matter of fact they were his worst enemy. He has beefing with hulk and before he died he they buried the hatched and never spoke ill about Hulk after. He wouldn't want to sign kids autographs, and then later signed all the kid's stuff and talked to them 1 on 1. He had problems with Vince and Erick Bishoff, THE CEO'S for goodness sakes!!! If he had problems, with these 2 guys you don't think he was going to have problems with EVERYONE Else? He was socially awkward. He grew up in a farm in the middle of nowhere, with no people, no father, and then got hit with the lime lights. He didn't know how to act or how to be around people because he was always Solo. He never needed somebody because it was in him to continue in life regarldes of what happens because that was a part of his everyday life. And no 1 understood that. Everyone else felt that they needed to be friends to survive (even though it's a good idea) in the buisness. But he didn't. The couple of millions he made with WWF he felt he could quit and live off of that for the rest of his life because he was born with WAY...! Less and without anybody. That was a part of his life style that was regular to him and the average person would translate it as snobby or stuck up. But that's just how he was. Steroids played a part in this 2.

The week after Warriors Nitro debut, Nitro beat Raw in the ratings again despite Raw having a hell in a cell match. People who missed Nitro the week before obviously heard about Warrior showing up and tuned in the next week.

Everyone who has spoken about him says otherwise, Jim lost the plot, his ego cost him everything that matters in life. I hope he got better before he passed, but no doubt the drugs were a big part of his behavior, he was clearly doing a lot more steroids than almost anyone else. Even Andre slapping him down hard to teach him a lesson for being stiff seemed to do nothing at the time.

If you read between the lines, he wasn’t a product of Wrestling he didn’t come from the same place as most Wrestlers did, imo their was allot of jealousy from witching the industry, even Hogan has his detractors from these same group of people, it’s their game and must be played by their rules their way from their beginning or you don’t belong, if anything regarding the haters it’s says more about them and what they are about than it says about the Warriors shortcomings, in the end imo the fans are what really matter and most of the fans of this era me included loved him and his persona he replaced Hogan for me long before the defeat at Wrestlemania 6, regardless of his wrestling ability, to me hat match and his feud with Macho Man and Rick Rude are some of the best ever in Wrestling. Jealousy is an ugly mistress that the haters seem to have in spades..Warrior still lives on, his light still shines brighter today, do theirs?

Its cuz he is a trash wrestler below amateur skill level and if not for the other wrestlers carrying and blatantly helping him in the ring he would be boo'd hard So it really, really matters what other wrestlers think of hom

His promos have a mixed reputation as they have great energy and are very entertaining but they are also batshit and incomprehensible.

HTM spoke well of him too. Well, not his wrestling, but as a person.

Yep. Can’t give this shit enough dislikes 👎🏻

Well they both probably were during their time there. It's a natural result of being non-wrestling fans coming into the world of late-1980s pro wrestling from the world of bodybuilding. The difference is that Sting eventually found a deep love for the art of professional wrestling, became a fan, and turned it into a genuine career whereas Helwig never ever saw it as anything more than a big fat paycheck and a ticket to superstardom. Also while Sting's prima-donna nature was likely insufferable in his early 20s, the fact that he was like that is ultimately the reason why once he aged & matured, and once he'd had a bit of humility kicked into him, and once he found his footing and his niche in "The Business," he proved to have such a vast wealth of charisma and staying power. Whereas Helwig's shyness & reservedness evolved into a sullen & self-absorbed nature once HE came into his own.

@@dildonius Sting never loved pro wrestling. Multiple wrestlers that are close friends of his have said that his heart was never in it, and that he looked at it as a job, and treated it as one.

I met Sting. Or rather Stevie Borden. His Aunt worked for my Dad. There was a big company cookout and Sting was there. This was shortly after WCW folded. My brother and I were told not to bother him. He was there to decompress I guess. Nobody there but us seemed to know him. My brother and I were shooting hoops and he asked to join in. Sting! Coolest guy ever. He spent the whole day with just us. I had my Sting shirt on. Guess he liked that. Told us to call him Stevie. Treated us like family. The high point was when we got him to do the Wooo! Priceless. I was 17 I think maybe 18. Last childhood memory really. He'll always be my favorite wrestler.

@Josh Traffanstedt No one says they have to be fans. I'm just pointing out, that even some massive wrestling stars viewed their work as simply a job.

@@tcity6334 It doesn't matter since he at least took it seriously enough to become good at it which is the main knock on Hellwig.

I mean, he wasn't even a WRESTLER. Dude was a steroid jacked-up body-builder who didn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch. He had ZERO wrestling moves. He basically just ran around, shook the ropes and weakly clotheslined people. And did a dangerous gorilla press slam that likely injured people. He had no wrestling moves or wrestling holds. The real story is that Vince McMahon had(/has) a fetish for body builders, and Jim Hellwig fit that role perfectly and so he was pushed as THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, a younger "body guy" to succeed Vince's original WWF "body guy", Hulk Hogan. But Warrior turned out to be a clumsy excuse of an athlete. I swear, you would be shocked if you saw the Warrior try to play baseball, football, or basketball, and see him fail epically at them all, because the guy was just a glamour magazine-cover body-builder with zero athletic skill, and not at all a WRESTLER. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Please tell us about when and where the Ultimate Warrior had his greatest WRESTLING match! The one that made people believe he was the real deal. Because I must've missed it....

@@jasonlane6187 Oh, I know he’s not a “wrestler.” I was a kid and he was a superhero to me. That’s it. His matches with Hulk & Macho are great to me story wise. I never claimed anything about his wrestling skill. He was a mad man and that was the appeal.

Totally agree

Yes. As far as Warrior's personality is concerned, I would avoid the fans too, if I had to put 4 hours into my weight training "in the middle of the night", and then get maybe 2 hours of sleep, before getting up to catch my flight to the next town. Pro wrestling is a grind, even when guys aren't keeping their bodies fit. For the guys who had to pump iron, being on the road was 10 times more demanding. Guys like Greg Valentine, Honky Tonk Man, Jake Roberts, and Bastion Booger, just "let themselves go". So, they could be a lot more "fan-friendly", than a guy like Warrior, who had to be at the gym within minutes of leaving the arena -- just to get back to his hotel in time to get 2 to 3 hours of sleep, if he was lucky.

Hopefully he and Andre are slamming the crap out of each other in a better place.

This is 100% the spot-on truth brother, i was there that day in the building watching this match live. It's harder to hear on the tapes and DVD etc, but it was so loud in that building that night, people were crying when Hogan and Warrior hugged. Hogan fans sitting right in front of me were crying and clapping at the same time. People were chanting 'WARRIOR, WARRIOR" as we were all trying to leave the building. I remember some guys climbing up onto a structure with a Warrior poster and screaming 'It's the UWF Now, The Ultimate Warrior Federation" LOL. I still have my ticket and a Warrior shirt, although WAY too small now. Those old timers that were bashing Warrior 20 years ago would have stabbed you in the back for a quarter in their day. Jealous Hypocrites.

We are capable of being both saints and devils. The warrior was like this in and out of the ring. Towards fans, he could've been socially kind towards anyone who met him. Difficult to work with in the ring.

He was defined by his enemies because he left no friends to tell the stories. Wrestling is the land of egos but even some of the worst people still had ride or die level friends.

Cornette still does heinous things like put up the smoke screen for Pat Patterson and hates God

I will use this comment whenever I'm a piece of shit to someone.

Correct.

@@mikeblakeslee3753 Clearly and it's so boring just bashing a guy who accomplished more in wrestling than 95% of any talent anywhere in history. He was so over he threatened, equaled, and eventually took Hulk Hogan's spot. Crowds were insane for him, and that's what makes a great pro wrestler. What happened afterward with Warrior is a different story, but by 91 he was iconic, and nobody besides maybe Goldberg in WCW, was ever in that position with Hogan during his Prime, to truly go over as the next top star.

For me, it's about wrestling ability and athleticism, and Hellwig had neither

@@lewis9702 Incorrect.ALL Pro Wrestlers are Athletes, to say Ultimate Warrior had no Athleticism would be like saying The Road Warriors had no Athleticism. It's just silly to say. "Wrestling Ability" as a term used is up for debate. If let's say a great "technical wrestler" strings together a sequence of moves and it's spectacular, yet the fans sit on their hands and don't react. Is that guy a good pro wrestler? Truth is, that guy probably won't last long. Bret Hart is also one of my favorites of all time, so i can also see where you're trying to come from, but to say he had neither of those qualities you mentioned, is just wrong.

@@oldschoolprowrestling2653 No it's not wrong. The Warrior was not an athlete. He was a roided up freak who was clumsy and uncoordinated in the ring. And he sucked. Popularity doesn't equal greatness. McDonald's is a multi billion dollar corporation, but that doesn't change the fact that their food is shit

By the fans yes. Those that worked with him hated him

Facts and he's also a villain in real life too.

Agreed. Jim saw the "business" as a business. He made more cash than just about all his peers. Didn't care about being liked or being one of the boys. He made a fortune. Fair play.

“Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, it makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.” He probably had some health problems and knew the clock was ticking. He didn’t look too good during his promo either. He was always all over the place with his promos but his last one was eerily on point. It’s like he knew this was it and he decided to go out on his own terms, make sure his legacy was shaped by himself and not a bunch of administrators at WWE.

Health problems! The jack-off was so pumped on steroids the arteries of the heart were hard as a rock and the hole through them almost shrank down to a pin-drop. Ah steroids never helps at all really.🤪
