I also liked when the Fink was told by Jericho, that he was a Warrior. The Fink ran to the ring with the UW theme song and shook the ropes. Hilarity ensued.
The 1990 Royal Rumble was not just Hogan inadvertently eliminating the Warrior. During the Rumble at one moment, all other participants were cleared out by Hogan and Warrior and only those two briefly in the ring one on one. It was electrifying and the crowd stood in attendance, to witness something that had not been seen on PPV. The two top babyfaces facing off.
Childhood Warrior fan here . A memory that really sticks out was one day after school my mum took me to a toy store called “ Young World “ to buy the Hasbro wrestling figure of the Warrior👌👌😆 Great careless memories 🇬🇧❤️
I still own Wrestlemania 5 on VHS. My favourite part of the match is right at the start when Rude goes to knee Warrior in the gut, but he sells his knee because he actually hit the IC Title belt that Warrior still had around his waist. It's the little things that go a long way. The whole rivalry between Rick Rude and the Ultimate Warrior is definitely worth a watch.
Such a great way to start the match. Right after this, Warrior just throws Rude from turnbuckle to turnbuckle. Rude bumps so hard around the ring for Warrior.. it was so good.
@Christopher Palmer Also, a weird bit in the match where Heenan goes in his pocket for no reason. It doesn't tie into the match. Heenan just fixed his pocket lol
He really brought the character to life... As a kid back then if I didn't see the ultimate warrior I would be mad as hell!!! One of the greatest of all time no debate!!!
Wow brother that's something I've always said! He did have the IC belt in yellow! But the World Championship belt he had it in obviously in Black, White, the light blue, a dark blue and the lilac light purple titles! He was and still the only one who ever did!
You know, it really surprises me that, out of all the Mad Max style movies that came out in the late 80s/early 90s, and Warrior wasn't in a single one. He would have been perfect as the insanely charismatic leader of a post apocalyptic gang. Killer job on the video, btw!! 🤘🤘
He actually was in an action movie in 1993 called Firepower, he played The Swordsman! In the near future, street gangs have their own city zones where cops can't go. Two tough cops are sent undercover in one of them to investigate an illegal cure for AIDS. But they must first fight in a deathmatch, and the match is fixed.
ThunderDomeBoxingTalk No problem at all. I’m surprised you’d hadn’t heard of it. Jim Hellwig/Warrior is The Swordsman and he just happens to be the leader of the gang. Here’s the link. ua-cam.com/video/zpNm4jk5LE4/v-deo.html
Ultra Sonic, totally respect your opinion. For example Rude vs. Warrior Summer Slam rematch for the IC Title and Savage vs. Warrior retirement match or heel savage world champ vs. Warrior IC champ MSG matches were so alive. Depends on your prospective. Respect your opinion, though.
Been waiting for this one! At one point my favorite wrestling character. But I was young and he appealed to us all. What could have been is so uncomprehendable.
My favourite childhood wrestler and hero. My first ever wrestling match I watched was with ultimate warrior Vs Andre the giant at Saturday night main event in 1989 and on the same night the genius beat Hulk Hogan. He died on my birthday and I was generally gutted loosing your child hood hero. I know he has controversy with his later comments but thanks to the warrior he got me into wrestling and still watch it to this day and on my birthday this year I ticked a bucket list off and went to wrestlemania. Thank you Ultimate Warrior always be my number one
I could watch any warrior match over and over, he was entertaining and the crowd couldn’t get enough, I have never cared about rating matches, I was there for the entertainment and charisma.
Great video. I found it when trying to show my young son the Warrior's entrance. I remember when I saw it first, we had the WWF at the time in Dublin but it was his "first" entrance on that, I think they said he was a newcomer to the WWF. The energy, music, run, shaking the ropes, smashing the opponent, it was iconic. I think I was about 12 at the time but he seemed super human. He looked a level above everyone else. Totally crazy. Instant hit. Thanks for video.
CazzSDMF couldn’t agree more. Ray was awesome. As a heel vs Billy Jack Haynes and face vs The big earthquake! And teamed up with Paul Roma as power and glory. Just a great talent
I can remember being sooo torn as a 9 yr old boy during the Mania VI match... lol.. I had been a Hulkamaniac pretty much my whole wrestling life up till that point, but Warrior was a close 2nd.. lol I was cool with Warrior winning, though I gotta admit I was pulling a lil more for the Hulkster! good memories!! Also, Warriors light blue belt was f'n badass imo! Classic!
Randy Macho Man Paffo Savage and Jim "Warrior" Hellwig, two of the best of friends in real-life. I met Warrior while I lived near his home in Scottsdale AZ in the mid 90's until 2012. I have to say, Dana and Warrior were the nicest people that has ever walked this Earth. There will be no one else more inspiring and wise, who cared for people to believe in themselves like Warrior. Heck, his UA-cam videos were motivating, very intellectual and articulate just like him. No other wrestler ever reached out to his fans or simply to those who needed an injection of pure inspiration quite like him. In the end, all he wanted and be was a real good father, a mentor and a role model to his kind-hearted daughters Indiana and Mattigan. Rest in Peace Warrior! Thank you for making my teenage years fun and Ultimate!
ultimate warrior will forever be my favorite wrestler!! when the music dropped and he came flying out like an unstoppable force of nature, i still get goosebumps!
I love how you refer to those days as the ‘glory years ‘ because that’s exactly what they were with some of the most incendiary characters ever to grace the squared circle and it’s so cool that you give these legends their due .. I wonder how Vince feels knowing g how shitty and sterile wwe has become and try as he might - he will never ever recapture these wwf glory years .
Absolutely superb video mate! When I was wee I thought Ultimate Warrior was the man, had a poster of him in my bedroom. Only when I got older and smartened up on the business that it dawned on me his in ring limitations and subsequently terrible attitude. However these things will never take it away in my eyes that he was a true legend in the sport. He did have the X factor.
My favorite Warrior promo was the 90 Rumble one, just epic. "YOU HULK HOGAN (as he points and looks at the camera)...walk with a forcefield around you that compares to the one I walk with, in destination parts unknown" Sorry if I F'd that up I'm paraphrasing and too lazy to look up the exact quote but it was awesome!
@@michaelmccoy4506 much,much better. This guy was one of the worse. But he had a gimmick. The younger fans took too him. Not us older ones after watching Brett,Sting,Macho Man,Steamboat. Guys with skills. Then to ask us too buy into the Warrior and his personna, no way.
Anyone from the time can’t deny how amazing he was. Carried by better workers no doubt. But worse wrestlers have had better pushes and got nowhere. Gobshite maybe, but at the time , The Ultimate Warrior was the man.
This guy was a joy. So many good memories. He wasn’t some technical wrestler he was a power guy. A couple of power moves 123 THANKYOU come again. Fanatics. I was one of them. May he rest and peace.
Man... If he only went to the hospital after his final appearance on Raw after Hall of Fame induction. He might have lived... He was showing all the signs of heart failure during that speech. 😔
I remember first seeing him as a kid and was awe strucked, one of the reason I became a character and creature artist and was SOLEY focused on anatomy and muscles i had a plush of the damn guy as a kid.
When you think of Professional Wrestling, even if you don't know about our business you remember 3 Hulk Hogan - Ultimate Warrior - and Stone Cold Steve Austin
I think Hogan, Andre the Giant and The Rock transcend wrestling. Even my Grama knows who they are. After that you can make an argument for a lot of different guys in different eras. Warrior, Austin, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Jericho, Sting, Triple H, Cena ... They all have their claims but no one touches those top 3 in my opinion.
@@josephbuono5487 your right about andre, I've asked a lot of people if they know Bret Hart especially I'll ask if they are from Canada and they say no. I'm like REALLY? I'm not a fan of warrior but his run was his run ok so top 5 not in order andre, warrior, hogan, stone cold, rock. It does depend on how old the person your asking is.
Easily if there was a Mount Rushmore i would put Andre the Giant, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin.....The rock is the great one but Stone Cold was the attitude era
Another video, another masterpiece. Love your work, my friend!! As always you exceed my expectations. Thank you for the time you put into these videos. Don’t ever stop!!
your timing is awesome... I just watched the 2 warrior vids wwe put out.. i love self destruction for it's own reasons. Adding you makes an excellent trilogy!
@@ed-roc2054 DVD. Sorry. The one I never got was the one warrior released himself in response to Self Destruction because i couldn't find it anywhere but I think SD is on UA-cam somewhere. The fact that it's so blatantly negative only seems to add (to me) to the mythos of the character. Almost like he's portrayed as part of a horror film at times.
16:42 In case anyone missed it, this is what Vince wrote to Warrior in the 1991 letter..... "Your principal complaint apparently is that you are not being compensated at the same rate as Hulk Hogan, although "Hulk" is a living legend, is still much better known to the public, has wrestled longer, is the WWF Champion, is in much greater demand for personal appearances, is a bigger star and draw at WWF events, is more dependable and is far more revered and respected by WWF fans and by the public at large. You have become a legend in your own mind; you are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, you are not entitled to vent your feelings by breaching and threatening to breach your contract." WHOAH!!!!!
I bought into the hype for this guy so much as a kid! I’d got into wrestling just before Mania 6 so I missed a bit of Hulk’s rise and this guy was like a living action figure or super hero! I know it’s easy to mock him now but as a kid he was The Man!
As a huge fan of Ultimate Warrior. So does the BGM called "Unstable" was the best in WWF era. Warrior vs Undertaker, Yokozuna and Macho Man the best fights ever! So does teaming up with Hulk Hogan was awesome rare tag team. You are forever a greatest of true warrior ever. R.I.P. James Brian Hellwig-san! アルティメット・ウォリアーは最高だぜ！
You know it's gonna be a great video when Wrestling Bios' intro music is the same music played on Smacktalk's YT channel.... I'm probably not the only one that noticed this lol Anyways, great video!
Really? It's a random license free song I found on UA-cam Sound Library. One of the many reasons why I don't like using songs there, but it did sound very fitting
His intensity, that ring entrance the face paint and that body he was awesome but he was at times his worst enemy it a shame he didn’t change like have a heel run I always wonder what he be like as a heel because he was getting mixed reactions in WCW but him pinning hogan clean at wrestlemania was unbelievable this period you put was his best run by far
Back when Ultimate Warrior showed up in WCW, I remember a friend telling me that it wasn't REALLY the Ultimate Warrior. That original Warrior died, and the current one was really his brother. Apparently, there were people who really believed that at the time.
Keep her lit, but don't burn yourself out mate. I saw you post about time issues, so take your time. Your videos are informative and great craic to watch. I'd prefer less videos than no videos at all.
The biggest mistake that WWE, Vince in general made was that he should have had Warrior and Savage battle for the title after Wrestlemania 6 and leading up to either Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania 7. Plus putting Hogan in Main Event matches made his title victory over Hogan look like a joke
Hogan stated before, that Warrior opened the door for short term wrestlers. Goldberg and Lesnar are noticeable guys. Get the money and get out. All of them prefer five minute or less matches.
Who was a good main event champion during those days wrestling wise? Macho Man and that's about it. Warrior took the Hogan route of getting beat down 80% of the match and making the comeback to win. He couldn't sell like Hogan though but he still "hulked" up during the comeback.
I was related to he Warrior from marriage. Our family would get backstage passes every time he came to the Hoosier Dome. I will never forget as a young child getting to meet the Warrior with his makeup on.
When I use to play the wrestling games when I was younger I use to always pick the ultimate warrior and if I did pick someone else it was tag team and he was still always on my team.
Nothing can describe that feeling as a kid when the warriors music hit!!
Winston 1875 still gets me even now.
I think when the music hit we ALL became “little warriors”
It was such a big rush. It was amazing RIP jimmy
Nothing my brother
Don’t forget the 2 hands pumping up and down, and the mouth blowing.
Warrior didn't refuse the suspension letter. The postman just didn't know where Parts Unknown was so he never got it.
Great reply made me Chuckle
Bruh 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is in upstate NY
Awesome! 😂😂😂
LOLOLOL, so true.
It’s all about the Howard finkel introduction
“The uuuulllltimate warrior! “
from parts unknown!
weighing 275lbs
I also liked when the Fink was told by Jericho, that he was a Warrior. The Fink ran to the ring with the UW theme song and shook the ropes. Hilarity ensued.
THEE Ulllltimate warrior
Finkel - annnd the NEEEEEEEWWWW WWF champion........id get chills
In every still image, he looks like pure energy
Pure energy! Incapsulates him so well!!
You have to understand, it was the 1980s, and Kayfabe was very alive. We actually believed the warrior had super human strength.
@@jgfjgfify Yep
Robert Cullen on the head
The guy was huge! Roided up but huge!
@@pezpowerproductions2602 So were others in the 80's. Heck, even people that were not huge were on roids.
Waddya mean believed?! He surely did have super human strength!
The main reason why I became a wwe for once in my life. The costume and the charisma of this guy is out of this world..RIP to the legend..
RIP Warrior!!! You were one of the reasons I loved WWF when I was a kid. You will always be remembered.

Yep. And they clotheslined each other. I remember watching as a kid and thinking they were the last 2 as that would have made sense to do as well.
Ultimate Warrior theme music was super dope
Childhood Warrior fan here .
A memory that really sticks out was one day after school my mum took me to a toy store called “ Young World “ to buy the Hasbro wrestling figure of the Warrior👌👌😆
Great careless memories 🇬🇧❤️
Did you have to use it to show the people in court where your mum touched you?

The Summer Slam 89 rematch is so underrated it’s not even fair.
@Christopher Palmer Also, a weird bit in the match where Heenan goes in his pocket for no reason. It doesn't tie into the match. Heenan just fixed his pocket lol
Ahhh Shaddup
My favorite wrestler of all time!! He was the 1st one to have the intercontinental and world championship belts at the same time when he beat Hogan!!!
His soul will run forever RIP Warrior
He really brought the character to life... As a kid back then if I didn't see the ultimate warrior I would be mad as hell!!! One of the greatest of all time no debate!!!
I always thought it was cool he had different colored belts, his ic belt was yellow and he had a blue heavyweight belt I think
Black White Blue and Purple WWE belt.
Wow brother that's something I've always said! He did have the IC belt in yellow! But the World Championship belt he had it in obviously in Black, White, the light blue, a dark blue and the lilac light purple titles! He was and still the only one who ever did!
He had a white IC belt too. Remember when Cody brought it back as a tribute
Yea that yellow IC belt was Sic 💯💯
His promos were pure jibberish, but who cares? They were awesome! Lol
I do bc Jim sucked and was green and too stiff in the ring but yet he wanted more money 😂
At least they were more entetainig than most WWE promos these days.
His promos is what made him.. hes hands down 1 of my favorites ever .. definately my favorite of that era !
chris jericho said it best. "You listen to his promos and you'd go, i don't know what he is actually saying. But it sounds cool. So, YAY!!!!"
@@westnile21 ok...g-g-go sit down. Sit. Good boy.
You know, it really surprises me that, out of all the Mad Max style movies that came out in the late 80s/early 90s, and Warrior wasn't in a single one.

Ya Hollywood really dropped the ball there huh

@@JasonHawk No way? Thanx for informing me of that , ima try to find it.

@@JasonHawk O wow a link , Ty again brother
My favorite out of all of em.....even today. RIP
Yes mate same as that the Ultimate Warrior was always the greatest..
Savage and Rude made Warrior with undeniable chemistry, not Hogan’s match.
That's due to just how good they were. I mean you put guys like rude and Savage in the ring with a broom and they'll make it look like a classic.
Shay Dillane, so true. Rude and Savage were ring generals.
Without a doubt Rude and Savage made Warrior look like a million bucks
Ultra Sonic, totally respect your opinion. For example Rude vs. Warrior Summer Slam rematch for the IC Title and Savage vs. Warrior retirement match or heel savage world champ vs. Warrior IC champ MSG matches were so alive. Depends on your prospective. Respect your opinion, though.
Savage and Rude were ring generals in and out of the Ring!!! It’s amazing how they actually made Warrior wrestle and take bumps !!!
There will never be another one with such charisma
Been waiting for this one! At one point my favorite wrestling character. But I was young and he appealed to us all. What could have been is so uncomprehendable.
So cool I ❤ Warrior - I was 2 in 88 and I remember Warrior and falling in love with wrestling ever since 🙌
Ultimate Warrior was definitely one of my favourite wrestlers when I was a kid
And here I thought it would be a 30 second squash video.😄
I was a 11 year boy at mania 8. When his music hit all us little boys lost our minds!
Not fan of Ultimate Warrior as a person but I respect his contribution to the business. Good video.
TheAutistWhisperer Ditto.

"BEEE PREPARIED! HOK HOGAN!" *_snoooort_*
Good old Times with this Lunatic
The Savage vs Warrior match might be his best match during his WWF/WWE run.
agreed.
"Might"??? Is there any doubt at all.....? Did he EVER have a better match than this during his entire career?
I could watch any warrior match over and over, he was entertaining and the crowd couldn’t get enough, I have never cared about rating matches, I was there for the entertainment and charisma.

He remains to this very day as the only man to hold the WWE Championship and the Intercontinental Championship at the same time.
Yeah but titles mean nothing now this was when it was a massive deal
@moon dawg HHH held the World Heavyweight Championship and when Kane lost the match the IC title was declared inactive.
Wrong Brett hart did it buddy
Brett hart
@@LiamH81 brett hart
intensity thy name is Ultimate Warrior. He was definitely one of my favorite all times wrestlers.

I miss him so much! He was a Large Part of my Childhood! Forever a Warrior Fan!
floating threw the veins the power of the warrior
would love to see a video about hercules hernandez....I liked him back in the day....doesn't seem like he gets any attention
Same here!

Kinda funny a guy from a tag team called "The Road Warriors" is mad about someone being unoriginal haha
I was gonna go to his funeral but it was really hard to drive to parts unknown
Plus it always hails there.

You sir deserve a medal

cheers, cant beat the warriors efforts to be a character
Great video..
He is favourite of all time.
One Warrior Nation
My favorite wrestler of all time.
Sting and Warrior trying to walk through a door together was hilarious.
I liked seeing his energetic entrance but my biggest memory of him is vomiting because of Papa Shongo.. it wasn't a ho train in those days

Couldn't have popped up in my feed at a better time! Bored on the elipticle, I'll go 20 more min just for this!
Great memories of the Ultimate Warrior! Great video. With Hogan best theme music & wrestlers ever! 😃
His entrance to a match is the best ever!

I knew it was same guy back then ..the warrior just lost muscle mass when he came back in 92 that's all 💪
Yeah that was a stupid conspiracy.. Lol.. There's was only ever one Jim Helwig..
@@iamthatguyfromslipknot1137 that rumor was running as rampant as the Warrior to the ring where i live js.
if Vince McMahon could of found someone to impersonate him he would of trust me lots of people loved him
I hope there’s a second part too this keep up the good work man amazing videos
You know it's gonna be a great video when Wrestling Bios' intro music is the same music played on Smacktalk's YT channel.... I'm probably not the only one that noticed this lol Anyways, great video!
Really? It's a random license free song I found on UA-cam Sound Library. One of the many reasons why I don't like using songs there, but it did sound very fitting
@@WrestlingBios I know it's a royalty-free UA-cam song. I was just making an observation. I like the song regardless of what channel it is on.
His intensity, that ring entrance the face paint and that body he was awesome but he was at times his worst enemy it a shame he didn’t change like have a heel run I always wonder what he be like as a heel because he was getting mixed reactions in WCW but him pinning hogan clean at wrestlemania was unbelievable this period you put was his best run by far
He didnt beat hogan clean hogan made it look like he almost won bye trying to kick out to late
Back when Ultimate Warrior showed up in WCW, I remember a friend telling me that it wasn't REALLY the Ultimate Warrior. That original Warrior died, and the current one was really his brother. Apparently, there were people who really believed that at the time.
the super pose down with ric rude was awesome especially with jesse ventura commentary
This video was way better than Warrior's WCW run
I agree 💯.... WCW was boring 😴
Keep her lit, but don't burn yourself out mate. I saw you post about time issues, so take your time. Your videos are informative and great craic to watch. I'd prefer less videos than no videos at all.
Good video didn't now to much about the warrior, going to check out the other video now
The biggest mistake that WWE, Vince in general made was that he should have had Warrior and Savage battle for the title after Wrestlemania 6 and leading up to either Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania 7. Plus putting Hogan in Main Event matches made his title victory over Hogan look like a joke
Thank God I have these matches on DVD. Since WWE will not show these matches.
Man I swear I loved this dude when I was little. Now I’m older I’m like man he really wasn’t a good wrestler
Lol the first Goldberg
Hogan stated before, that Warrior opened the door for short term wrestlers.
Goldberg and Lesnar are noticeable guys. Get the money and get out.
All of them prefer five minute or less matches.
Who was a good main event champion during those days wrestling wise? Macho Man and that's about it. Warrior took the Hogan route of getting beat down 80% of the match and making the comeback to win. He couldn't sell like Hogan though but he still "hulked" up during the comeback.
Loved him too but man he was just terrible. His promos are hilarious
..who cares we all remember him so leave it at that
I was related to he Warrior from marriage. Our family would get backstage passes every time he came to the Hoosier Dome. I will never forget as a young child getting to meet the Warrior with his makeup on.
Load the spaceship with the rocket fuel!! Good times haha
“ ROCKET FUEL” hahahhahaha
Yeah definitely the best time in wrestling.. The Ultimate Warrior was always my favourite wrestler...
😂
For me its the shove that control into a nose dive Hoe Kogan!
When I use to play the wrestling games when I was younger I use to always pick the ultimate warrior and if I did pick someone else it was tag team and he was still always on my team.
Dingleberry Warrior 😂🤘
not a Warrior fan but this is great coverage of his career
Along with Sting and Rowdy Roddy Piper, one of my all-time favorite wrestlers.👍
