Self-destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD
By Scott Keith on 28 August 2021
Just watched it for the first time. My goodness, this is the definition of hit job.
OF COURSE Warrior wasn't a good worker or talker. OF COURSE he often was an insecure aloof self-righteous egotistical in-over-his-head douche, hell he was a young dude getting very rich and famous, give him a bit of slack.
World class egomaniac and backstage politician Hogan lecturing about protecting the business and not being a flash-in-the-pan. What the…?
Heenan claiming nobody in the industry liked Warrior: wrong. Owen, Bulldog, Kerry, Savage, even Lombardi were at least friendly, if not real friends. Vince too at some point (before the business beef obviously).
Bischoff paying Warrior good money, giving him lots of TV time, booking Warrior vs Hogan II (OF COURSE not a ploy to get Hogan his win!), then blaming the bombing all on Warrior's talents, or lack thereof. Ugh.
Vince claiming pure innocence and being DA PEOPLE PERSON (he uttered “responsible for our audience” at least 3 times throughout this crap doc). Come on!
VKM is a petty petty man with real problems, that one became clearer than ever to me.
