Warrior waas the gr8est i would say cause he lifted the whole crowd an putted so much energy in his entrance. He was awesome he made WWF - he still has his die hard fans ( like me ) and we support him as the biggest icon in wrestling history truly a mentor - ULTIMATE WARRIOR
i see what he means....about 90% of the guys he came up with are between 45 and up, but still wrestling. He invested well, and has knowledge enough to do speaking engagements. I wish all wrestlers would have that kind of success outta the ring.
I LOVE HIM!!!! he has been a huge inspiration to me since I was 9 years old. Today, he's STILL a huge inspiration and NOBODY has put the energy that he's put into the wrestling industry. with the acception of The Macho Man Randy Savage, NOBODY has been so colorful with their outfits and lights up an arena by running to the ring to excite everyone. Warrior, you are and forever will be....the man!!!
the warrior is a LEGEND he kept going forward and taking names as he did it, and he did not make manny friends wile he did it but thats how it works when manny stand against you in the world and in the biz world.
Wow, I hope he lives to 70+, unlike the untimely deaths of Mr. Perfect Curt Henning, British Bulldog, and other retired wrestlers who either overdosed on pain-killers or had massive heart attacks.
A warrior must change with the times...dont let his age fool you...that warrior is a savage...he could still burn out the exit signs and load up with the rocket fuel after he gets trampled by midgets on lawn mowers. Warrior...one of my all time favorites.
yes. if you watch his shoot interview, he seems to be smart enough to know that it was just a job and not his identity. others think he is nuts, but i think he seems really grounded.
I can't believe the guy is as intelligent as he is, after some of the interviews he gave back in his day...Gotta hand it to a guy that can "flip the switch" like that!
levelonecaveman you have answered the call for if you truly believe in the power of the warrior you must look inside and asked yourself one thing can i eat biscuites with a clean concious ? thanks for responding
yeah I was a bit toasted,it is Jim. He also use to have the Names Rock & Dingo Warrior Rock was the name when he was a Blade Runner along with Flash BKA Sting!!!!:~}
There was an incident involving a young fan of his, just a little boy all painted up, basicly worshiping the warrior. This kid had some sort of terminal illness and somehow got an opportunity to get warrior and get his autograph. The wwf officals kept asking if warrior was rdy to meet this kid and he kept snarling "IN A MINUTE". All he was doing was sitting and talking with Bret and "the boys" in the back, which he rarely did anyway.
I remember spitting beer across the living room when that happened!!! But the best Warrior gaff had to be at Summerslam 1992 against Randy Savage when he tried to spell respect as "R-C-P-T-E-P-T" as they faced off in the ring!!! I laughed for a week!! Now this guy speeks philiosophy.... terrifying!!!!
Poor Jim Hellwig, he seems to be finding things that can't fill an internal emptiness. To bad he doesn't talk to Steve Borden anymore. Since Steve became a Christian, he's found fullfilment in life.
You're right about the three sides to a story. However, it's like this: 1. There's the Ultimate Warrior's side 2. There's the industry's side (pro-wrestling) 3. AND, then there's the wrestling fans What the industry says could have weight, also what Mr. Hellwig/Warrior says at times has merit. But, it ends up being where how wrestling fans see the Ultimate Warrior. And that's REALLY the truth.
Maybe it was all of that shit that happened before his comeback at Wrestlemania 8- when Bobby Heenan and others were saying (as part of an angle of course)that they thought he had died, lost wieght, shaved his head bald and all other types of shit. You know how some people are- they just take what people say and run with it.
It's nice to actually have Warrior coherent for once. May not have been as technical and traditional as Hogan, but was he energetic. FYI, Hogan can wrestle! Just check out his Japan matches, like his match against Abdullah the Butcher.
He made himself, made his own gimmick, and even had the gimmick as the Dingo Warrior prior to the WWF. All that Vince did was give him a camera and he made Vince tons of money. The reason that the WWE made that DVD on Warrior was because Vince hates being one-upped by his wrestlers, and Warrior was the only one to truly leave the business on his own terms.
All you Warrior fans out there, please be sure to check out the positive "documentary" I put together on the legend. Just RUclips search "Always Believe: The Story Of The Ultimate Warrior"
I know what you're talking about now. When they said that on the DVD, that was a figure of speech. Him threatening to not show made Vince oblige. So it was like putting a gun to his head.
@ginko27 I dunno if anyone else has acknowledged this but in Alternative Medicine circles healing crystals are quite common. Remember this when you vote in laws that try to socialize these kinds of medicines. Only socialize real medicines that are prescribed by real doctors and scientists.
the ultimate warrior was and still is a legend no matter what happend behind the scenes or after his wrestlin career, the only bit we should be bothered about is how much we loved him!!!
It just proves that old saying correct- it's not what you know, it's who you know. Just don't expect Batista to run down to the ring at 100 miles per hour; at his age he would probably break his hip or slip on the buckets of sweat he produces!!
I still love this guy. He represented the epitome of what Wrestling was all about. Big hair, loud voice, nutty persona and lots of entertainment. The ultimate. He seems like a smart guy too.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Jesus Christ, because he had anointed him to preach the gospel to the poor; he had sent him to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19 Your Bible)
He was one of a kind love him or hate him. The industry was better for him. He attracted alot of media and fans who would not have watched wrestling otherwise.
Beside a AMERICAN COVER UPS,This is my second match with the UNDERTAKER BEFORE I WAS ULTIMATE WARRIOR(I WAS TONY YAA-PROTECTOR)FINAL MATCH IN THE MOVIE IS THE young undertaker. I was under 6 feet and UNDERTAKER hated the loses over me in other matches and wanted me in WRESTLING so i accepted,cause i was JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME,THEN BECAME SYLVESTER STALLONE THEN VIN DIESEL TO ULTIMATE WARRIOR. before i was van damme heaven knowing everything,i did the movie(SUPERMAN RETURNS,BRANDON ROUTH)
man...it was bad. you know after you watch wrestling with your brothers, naturally, you're gonna get up and say "I'm Hulk Hogan!" and then you would fight over who got to be hogan, until somebody said "Im Jake the Snake" or "Iron Sheik!" I would ALWAYS yell "I'm UW!" Then everybody would laugh and call me a fag. I would run around and act like I was shaking the ropes. They used to always eliminate me first. lol. THen i remember when he beat hogan and had both belts i was so happy i cried.
the ultimate warrior was more then just a wrestler (a dam good one at that) he was a prophet who fought the power and lost but he lost willingly and now he is a man who promotes a positive life so just cause hes a wrestler does that mean he's not allowed to have epiphanys... and he changed his name because they needed to trade mark his character in order it wouldnt be used by any other sports entertainment seeing "warrior" is a popular name for a fighter.
This guy may have not been the most clever wrestler, but no doubt about it he was the most intense that the WWE would ever encounter. not even hogan had this guys spirit. too bad he didnt stay in the WWF.
Problem with people 2day is the fact that if they see it on tv it has to be true...i think jim hellwig does have some issues, but at same time i really do belive that the whole story is not completly told on the wwf's warrior dvd
He says that Hogan and Piper haven't grown up and done anything serious with their wrestlig identities. As much as I like it, pro wrestling is just for fun, its a spectacle. I wouldn't take anything seriously from those guys unless it was a lesson on how to wear spandex.
@snarlingrabiddog5150 Other opponents Hogan fought in Japan were the best Japan could offer: Antonio Inoki, The Great Muta, Akira Maeda, and Tatsumi Fujinami. Also Hogan's match with Abdullah was Hulkster was starting out and had a hair helmet! Also check out Abdulla's matches between 1977-2010, he's been a wrestler since 1958 and in real life, Abby is a Canadian and owns a resturaunt in Atlanta!
@gamesDAMNED Wrong. If you don't get it, don't assume the rest of don't. What he just said makes lotta sense. He said to go "balls to the wall" and strive for success in anything you choose to do, but also realize that you may not be able to do certain things when you get older (especially if you did something as physical as wrestling). You may then become a mentor like he did and continue to teach and inspire.
I graduated a high school the year before this was uploaded. 37 years old now🤯
the first ever wwe video on youtube
Warrior waas the gr8est i would say cause he lifted the whole crowd an putted so much energy in his entrance. He was awesome he made WWF - he still has his die hard fans ( like me ) and we support him as the biggest icon in wrestling history
truly a mentor - ULTIMATE WARRIOR

Couldn't agree more
James Brian Hellwig (June 16,1959-April 8,2014)aka "The Ultimate Warrior," was ONE GREAT PERSON!
the warrior is a LEGEND he kept going forward and taking names as he did it, and he did not make manny friends wile he did it but thats how it works when manny stand against you in the world and in the biz world.
He's much calmer now.
RIP Warrior. You will be missed.
I understood him more in his interviews when he was the Ultimate Warrior than I do now! lol
Glad to see he isn't completely stark raving mad. Oh, and his a philanthropist!
feel the power of the warrior
Wow, I hope he lives to 70+, unlike the untimely deaths of Mr. Perfect Curt Henning, British Bulldog, and other retired wrestlers who either overdosed on pain-killers or had massive heart attacks.
A warrior must change with the times...dont let his age fool you...that warrior is a savage...he could still burn out the exit signs and load up with the rocket fuel after he gets trampled by midgets on lawn mowers. Warrior...one of my all time favorites.
He was awesome back in the day.
this guy was insane, if anyone has ever listened to this guy in his UW days then you will see just how nutso he was...
WOW 11 years.
When I was a teenager, he was the absolute yum of yum!! Now that I'm a tad older? I'm not too sure? He had a gorgeous body thou!!
i wish wrestlers today had the charisma the Ultimate Warrior has
he should be in the hall of fame, he and beniot should be the big two this year
He reminds me of the heel in the movie dodgeball.
yes. if you watch his shoot interview, he seems to be smart enough to know that it was just a job and not his identity. others think he is nuts, but i think he seems really grounded.
The Ultimate Warrior dvd is highly entertaining. I strongly recommend it.
I can't believe the guy is as intelligent as he is, after some of the interviews he gave back in his day...Gotta hand it to a guy that can "flip the switch" like that!
He speaks and people can understand him now !!
levelonecaveman you have answered the call for if you truly believe in the power of the warrior you must look inside and asked yourself one thing can i eat biscuites with a clean concious ? thanks for responding
the warrior of today is in better shape now then most men in their 20's
He made me appreciate wrestling he had one of the greatest body on a human
Ultimate Warrior has his own official youtube account:
ULTIMATE WARRIORTV
Ultimate Warrior OWNS!
yeah I was a bit toasted,it is Jim.
He also use to have the Names Rock & Dingo Warrior
Rock was the name when he was a Blade Runner along with Flash BKA Sting!!!!:~}
This video is 16 years old! I think this is the first wrestling related video uploaded to RUclips
There was an incident involving a young fan of his, just a little boy all painted up, basicly worshiping the warrior. This kid had some sort of terminal illness and somehow got an opportunity to get warrior and get his autograph. The wwf officals kept asking if warrior was rdy to meet this kid and he kept snarling "IN A MINUTE". All he was doing was sitting and talking with Bret and "the boys" in the back, which he rarely did anyway.
He should've spoke with the same intensity and energy he used to do in his Wrestling promos. Plus the face paint.
his real name was Jim Helwig but he legally changed it to Warrior Warrior.
i miss the old warrior
They would kick SO much ass!
Load the spaceship with the Crazy Fuel!
I remember spitting beer across the living room when that happened!!! But the best Warrior gaff had to be at Summerslam 1992 against Randy Savage when he tried to spell respect as "R-C-P-T-E-P-T" as they faced off in the ring!!! I laughed for a week!! Now this guy speeks philiosophy.... terrifying!!!!
you can feel it dude!!!!! you can feel it
You are right...123 Kid (X-Pac) was obviously on juice.
Warrior still rules!
Like The Ultimate Warrior's monologues I had no idea what this was all about...
Poor Jim Hellwig, he seems to be finding things that can't fill an internal emptiness. To bad he doesn't talk to Steve Borden anymore. Since Steve became a Christian, he's found fullfilment in life.

I must rage little red king
transforms back into the dingus warrior!

He is a nut, but still my all time fav.
he's well spiritual now, he's deep i like this warrior but love the original warrior.
Nothing has changed in his ability to ramble on.
HES COMING BACK!!!
What's everyone talking about? That made sense to me.
One Warrior Nation!!! He's the best motivational speaker ever.
i concur. this guy is fried beyond what should be legally considered "responsive".
well he is in that new legends game im sure they will put him in it
the most appropriate wrestler the best physic
All you Warrior fans out there, please be sure to check out the positive "documentary" I put together on the legend.

he left at the top too
Popular rumor,but,like most rumors there wasn't truth to it.The clone of the Warrior in WCW (The Renegade)did pass on.
For the right price, but no one can afford him.
the exact reason your watching it
the ultimate warrior was and still is a legend no matter what happend behind the scenes or after his wrestlin career, the only bit we should be bothered about is how much we loved him!!!
It just proves that old saying correct- it's not what you know, it's who you know. Just don't expect Batista to run down to the ring at 100 miles per hour; at his age he would probably break his hip or slip on the buckets of sweat he produces!!
Warrior speaks the truth. You all fear the truth!
He's smart, but Ultimately insane!
I still love this guy. He represented the epitome of what Wrestling was all about. Big hair, loud voice, nutty persona and lots of entertainment. The ultimate. He seems like a smart guy too.
where on wikipedia does it talk about the warriors' straight edge? I'm really interested in that.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Jesus Christ, because he had anointed him to preach the gospel to the poor; he had sent him to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19 Your Bible)
He was one of a kind love him or hate him. The industry was better for him. He attracted alot of media and fans who would not have watched wrestling otherwise.
I cant believe that the great "wrestling communicator" does speaking tours...even though I heard he puts his foot in the mouth all the time
People think he's crazy and not all there, but he probably had a realization that life isn't about wrestling and grew up and got on with his life.
I think Warrior the man is better than Warrior the character. The man is trying to do something good so he deserves credit for that if nothing else.
i feel enlightend, excuse me while i go conquer the world.
jus for the record, he is no longer called jim helwig, he changed his name to warrior (?) a few years ago!!!
Beside a AMERICAN COVER UPS,This is my second match with the UNDERTAKER BEFORE I WAS ULTIMATE WARRIOR(I WAS TONY YAA-PROTECTOR)FINAL MATCH IN THE MOVIE IS THE young undertaker. I was under 6 feet and UNDERTAKER hated the loses over me in other matches and wanted me in WRESTLING so i accepted,cause i was JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME,THEN BECAME SYLVESTER STALLONE THEN VIN DIESEL TO ULTIMATE WARRIOR. before i was van damme heaven knowing everything,i did the movie(SUPERMAN RETURNS,BRANDON ROUTH)
Wow. I thought he talked like the Warrior in real life. This had me fooled.
Interesting stuff. It's too bad he didn't sit in on the production of the WWE dvd. I would have liked to have heard both sides of the story.
man...it was bad. you know after you watch wrestling with your brothers, naturally, you're gonna get up and say "I'm Hulk Hogan!" and then you would fight over who got to be hogan, until somebody said "Im Jake the Snake" or "Iron Sheik!" I would ALWAYS yell "I'm UW!" Then everybody would laugh and call me a fag. I would run around and act like I was shaking the ropes. They used to always eliminate me first. lol.

the gods from the heavens above must have told him to talk to college kids and name themselves the warrior
Oh my god he is stil the same!
I was expecting an Insane promo
you should of seen what he wrote on his ebay listing.
This guy may have not been the most clever wrestler, but no doubt about it he was the most intense that the WWE would ever encounter. not even hogan had this guys spirit. too bad he didnt stay in the WWF.
Problem with people 2day is the fact that if they see it on tv it has to be true...i think jim hellwig does have some issues, but at same time i really do belive that the whole story is not completly told on the wwf's warrior dvd
Everything he did within the wrestling business was good for him...
He says that Hogan and Piper haven't grown up and done anything serious with their wrestlig identities. As much as I like it, pro wrestling is just for fun, its a spectacle. I wouldn't take anything seriously from those guys unless it was a lesson on how to wear spandex.

BALLS TO THE WALL MAN!!! BALLS TO THE WALL!!! Shadup.
holy shit this man can ramble!
@gamesDAMNED Wrong. If you don't get it, don't assume the rest of don't. What he just said makes lotta sense.

he had a gun to vince head it in the dvd check it out.
