Plenty of balanced views. There were people who didn't like him and didn't get along with him but plenty of people who did. I think Warrior was just a guy who saw he could make a lot of money from having the right look and charisma, he didn't want to play around with the boys or be married to the business and that seems to have rubbed a lot of the generational wrestlers and lifers the wrong way. That old school mentality was still big in the 80's and 90's where you had to do everything a certain way and love the business, Jim Hellwig certainly didn't care for all of that but he knew how to make money and he did that with a lot of different guys. Wrestling locker rooms always felt like high school or prison mentalities to me. Always a bunch of cliques, the popular kids who do what they want, the bullies and so on with the rituals and respect thing like in prison. If you don't do things a certain way or pay respect the right way people get mad at you over it even if it sounds petty on the outside. Kamala once said that while he was struggling on pay due to being low balled by Vince it was warrior who took care of him. Warrior got his hotels and travel paid for so he had Kamala travel with him quite a bit and helped him out since he couldn't afford a good place to stay. When Warrior was the champion he had the use of the company limo which he let a lot of the boys use, many of which would shit on him later like Bret as Warrior and Owen got along. It's interesting when the boys benefit from five star treatment but then crap on the guy later.
Brunzel saying all warrior could do was shake the ropes, nope warrior could do the basic moves, hip toss, body slam power slam suplex, sun set flip, flying shoulder tackle, clothesline kicks punches chops, back body drop go backwards over the top rope, pile driver, double axe handle from top rope, shoulder block, bear hug, gorilla press splash, elbow drop, all the standard moves
Beefcake claiming Warrior never reached his level of success, or that Warrior was getting booed......🤣 Then people wonder why Warrior was such a dick to the upper card wrestlers. Warrior knew they were all snakes, and treated them accordingly. Fuckin' Beefcake wasn't as successful as Disco Inferno ....😂
Exactly right. He knew what they were. They were so jealous of him at the time and they still are. He made his money and got out and went on with his life and was hated and bad mouthed for it. Owen Hart had the same plan. So Jim did what was best for himself and screw everyone else. You can’t blame him.
lol there's another interview with Beefcake from the late 90s where he said Warrior was a good guy and just misunderstood because he was quiet and didn't hang out with the rest of the guys, then he goes on here and totally shits on him
Lol skinner. Warrior was a real prick because he didn't want to get spit on because he had to do promos after. Lol do you warroir haters hear these these dudes or are your ears plugged.
People don't understand that you can hate on hot wheel collectors but still be a hot wheel collector. You know? Like I say, but what you like, man. It's your money. My whole thing is, if it has value, it has value. You know? Make make sense. Kids don't care about hot wheels, you know? Grown man do. Like I say, it's a toxic community. Pay attention. Till later fam.
@@stuartmorris6299 Even Steve (who seemingly never forgave Owen) says that it was an accident, which is different than Warrior/someone just being reckless because they don't care. It is no different than training/sparring in the gym; not hurting someone who is giving their body to you has to be priority over anything else.
15:25 even when Hellwig trained with RVD420 Hellwig did little actual wrestling. So why did Hellwig bother visiting Damm to train. Hellwig was just some over roided bodybuilder who came in on two wrestling booms in WWF late 80s and WCW late 90s and Hellwig still sucked on Nitro.
He didn't need to "wrestle", the guy was an entertainer and performer, and all the guys who told him not to run to the ring, not to shake the ropes, not to do certain things........never achieved the popularity, nor the amount of money he made. Warrior was selling as much merch as Hogan, and after winning the title, he literally had no new heels to work with, Randy Savage, Rick Rude were the top heels during his run, and he never faced anyone new til the Undertaker debuted. It's dumb asses like yourself, that don't know shit about wrestling... Getting guys over and getting heat is ALL professional wrestling is about, and anyone who says anything different is an idiot. Ultimate Warrior didn't need to do drop toe holds, and sunset flips, or dive off the top rope, because his character wouldn't have worked doing that shit. By your standards, Andre the Giant sucked because he never did a 450 splash. GFYM
Warrior had good sides as well as bad just like anyone else however you cannot just ignore all the shitty things he did & said. Just because he's dead. And as far as I know regardless of what people keep saying about he apologised & took a new stand on all these things he said in the past, I don't ever recall hearing him take them back or apologise.... All I heard was his wife's apologies for him or claiming he was sorry but he never said it while alive. I think some of the things he did like how he treated certain kids, particular ill ones leaving them to wait around for hours, bad enough doing that to colleagues & backstage crew, the cameramen etc but for make a wish kids & the like is unforgivable. He got caught out moaning about that little boy he had to apologise to saying he didn't mean it, he wasn't sorry. Instead of just being mature enough to admit he was wrong. And how he hurt others in the ring from a lazy carelessness & deliberate neglect of safety due to having a huge ego & looking upon these guys who were getting him over, making him money like they were lesser human beings. Who cares if he broke their bones or put them in hospital was his attitude! His callous attitude towards Bobby Heenan when he was dying of cancer, then laughing at that actor's suicide was disgusting. All of that is bad enough for me to say he wasn't a good person. He had certain good points too and I'm. Sure he did do some good things for others but just those things are enough for me as it's not the kinds of thing I would do or want to be around a person who did do those kinds of things. That's very unattractive to me. However to put the cherry on top of the cake was the anti gay rants he went on. I'm not one of these lgbt agenda pushers either but it was kinda disturbing as a gay person the intensity of the hatred that was coming from him.
there's another shoot interview with him from the late 90s where he talks about how he liked Warrior and he was unfairly criticized by other wrestlers because they were jealous of him and he didn't hang out with anyone....then on this he totally shits on him

I am an Ultimate Warrior fan for life
Idiot
Me 2 💪
Rest In Peace ultimate Warrior
I'm an 80s kid. Warrior was my favorite wrestler! Hogan's a dope!
Jealous people trash successful people who achieve. Always have and always will. It’s easier than achieving themselves. Period !!!!

Are you a wrestler, or were one I should ask?
balanced? Nope- 3/4+ thought him a jerk-off or worse.
Ted DiBiase should be the last guy to call anyone out on their character flaws…….

Always believe
Warlord has a good point!!
Chico looks amazing! Arriba!! 👊
So I guess he’s not as bad as a lot of people make him to be
E N O G H WITH THE BRO
Hogan Guy. Warrior Guy. I was a Macho Man Guy.
Why'd you change? (just wondering)
Ted Arcidi doesn't get his props as a power house wrestler. His bench record was amazong
Beefcake claiming Warrior never reached his level of success, or that Warrior was getting booed......🤣

18:26 Dusty Wolfe needed a manager like Lou Albano, Jimmy Hart or Heenan to get over in his era

Same with me i had a chance to see Jim & Terri. On the same card at the " PCC" R I P JIM. U Put Hogan in his place!
Hi first
Lol skinner. Warrior was a real prick because he didn't want to get spit on because he had to do promos after. Lol do you warroir haters hear these these dudes or are your ears plugged.
Unbelievable. No wonder Jim didn't want to be around some of these guys. I think he would have laid them all out( for real ) & then be outta work.
people know who warrior is in 2024 95% of these guys they don't remember

Regardless of anything else, Warrior did not take care of the person(s) that he was working with.
*That is a cardinal sin.*
Owen Hart?
Don't be a hypocrite now
@@stuartmorris6299 Are you referring to the Steve Austin incident?
@@John.Flower.Productions yes
@@stuartmorris6299 Even Steve (who seemingly never forgave Owen) says that it was an accident, which is different than Warrior/someone just being reckless because they don't care.
It is no different than training/sparring in the gym; not hurting someone who is giving their body to you has to be priority over anything else.
15:25 even when Hellwig trained with RVD420 Hellwig did little actual wrestling.
So why did Hellwig bother visiting Damm to train.
Hellwig was just some over roided bodybuilder who came in on two wrestling booms in WWF late 80s and WCW late 90s and Hellwig still sucked on Nitro.
He didn't need to "wrestle", the guy was an entertainer and performer, and all the guys who told him not to run to the ring, not to shake the ropes, not to do certain things........never achieved the popularity, nor the amount of money he made.

It's dumb asses like yourself, that don't know shit about wrestling...
Getting guys over and getting heat is ALL professional wrestling is about, and anyone who says anything different is an idiot.
Ultimate Warrior didn't need to do drop toe holds, and sunset flips, or dive off the top rope, because his character wouldn't have worked doing that shit.
By your standards, Andre the Giant sucked because he never did a 450 splash.
GFYM
Did little? He had a long match with the guy in Barcelona. Got injured close to the match and still went through it.
Do you even understand how steroids work?

Warrior was really exciting the first time I saw him, much like Goldberg. They both got boring quick.
That first guy was so boring
LMAO Brutus Beefcake!
Man is delusional.
Hulks boy toy
Struttin' and cuttin'...
