Warrior's right. This match was about him. HHH was not a star yet. Had Warrior even broken a sweat in the match, it would have damaged his comeback. He had to make an impression his first match back. HHH squashed a young Cody Rhodes in a cage match; HHH knows Warrior was right here.

Warrior was absolutely right. He was coming back after 3 years and had to make an impression as he was still a top guy. Triple H at that time wasn't top of anything exept HBK's Disco stick bouncing up and down. It didn't kill his rise because he wasn't sleeping with the bosses daughter at that particular time. No he had to wait in line like the rest of the locker room and and every sports team around the states. It's alot of pricks but she settled for that prick lmfao. Warrior rules.

Getting squashed at wrestlemania taught 3H a valuable lesson sometimes you don't always get things the way you want but perseverance and persistence pay off and not for nothing at least 3H was there for the moment in the profession that he enjoys so there is that

[@zackvanhalen]

He didn't say he was totally responsible for his success. He said "in some ways, I can probably take a little credit for what he's done in his career". That might be true. Maybe that incident lit a fire under HHH's ass to make him work harder to be a top guy?

[@jlobiafra]

@Jugger Not🔧 umm you are forgetting a man named ric flair perhaps you've heard about him

[@jlobiafra]

@Jugger Not🔧 were you even around back then? The reason I ask is because flair joined wwf in 91 and it was huge in the wrestling industry. Warrior fizzled out in 92. Flair went on to become a top wrestler again in WCW and then again in WWE until 2009. Warrior had five years peak 87-92 and a brief run in 96 while flair had over 25 years of peak popularity. The warrior will be long forgotten while people will still be quoting and whoooing long after flair is gone.
And if you are going by "flair was big in the 80's not the 90's argument then you may want to reconsider Andre because he was basically done by 1990.

[@hughgpauwels]

Warrior was the most protected star in WWE in terms of win loss record. He was WWE's Goldberg if you will and Goldberg before, well, Goldberg was cool.
HHH might have been able to get twice the amount of time in this match with Warrior, or maybe an actual kickout from his finish if he hadn't pulled that nonsense with The Kliq in 1995. He was being punished for that because Shawn was the champion and the other two left. This match was part of the punishment. HHH wasn't even that big until DX and the Attitude Era. That version of HHH was not on Warrior's level. Listen to his reaction or lack thereof from the crowd. He got scattered boos, and that was about it.
Regardless, this match was never going more than 5 minutes, even if HHH wasn't in WWE's doghouse, which he was because of the no-sell by Warrior. That was probably a last-minute instruction by Vince when he went out there.

[@td5254]

Warrior is actually pretty respectful here and seems to see HHH's position. But HHH was a mid card guy here so getting squashed is all he could expect.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

It was supposed to be an 11-12 minute match
- Bruce Prichard

[@KingsOwn19]

I think the plan was always going to be a squash match. They were likely given a set time amount to where only a squash match was possible.
I think HHH understood that and agreed with it.
I think his resentments come from the fact that Warrior TREATED him like a jobber and not a rising star and guy with high standing in the locker room.
HHH was doing something he wouldn’t normally do, even back then. He was making a sacrifice for the company to re-integrate a big star and Warrior treated him like there was nothing else he would be doing if not jobbing to the Warrior so he treated him like Brooklyn Brawler.
That’s why when he spoke on it, HHH didn’t complain about what happened in the match but rather how Jim treated him.

[@Jim-Tuner]

Other people have said that the match was originally supposed to be somewhat longer. HHH was still supposed to lose, but it was supposed to be a few minutes rather than what it was. I think the part of the match were warrior disregards HHH's finisher was also added at the last minute.
HHH and everyone else was on-board with HHH losing. Its just that there was originally a different plan for the match and warrior supposedly changed it at the arena. HHH wasn't just in there to be squashed. He was in there as a skilled guy who could make the warrior look good in the ring.
I agree that it was all about Warrior's attitude and how he treated other people. It wasn't just that he was treating HHH as a jobber, HHH was in that match to take a bunch of bumps and HHH create a match (call the match as the heel) to make warrior look really good.

@@DJYC21215 Wins and losses matter. Especially how they lose.
Ask Brooklyn Brawler. Or your own example, Goldberg. The few losses didn't affect his career because his career was booked based on squashing majority of his opponents.

I mostly believe Warrior but when Hunter said OK it definitely wasn't said in an agreeing tone. I'd bet Hunter said it in a drawn out OOOOK...this guys nuts let me talk to someone who lives in reality.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Right.

[@BillOLDbergSucks]

He was supposed to have a competitive match. Warrior (his legal name) was going into business for himself and didn't want to put in any effort and wanted to make himself look good and Triole H look like shit.

[@jordanflores5687]

Facts

[@BillOLDbergSucks]

@@jordanflores5687 He's squashed jobbers on Challenge and Superstars plenty of times. People paid to see this and he put more effort into his entrance running to the ring and shaking the ropes than he did on this match. Can you believe this guy started a wrestling school? That's like Goldberg starting a wrestling school because neither one of them knew how to wrestle.

[@HhhHhhh-nu4lm]

@@BillOLDbergSucks bill and Warrior made alot of money got mainevent slot and title and never learned to Wrestle. They made ton of money off merchandise. They are smartest guys in business.

[@BillOLDbergSucks]

@@HhhHhhh-nu4lm Old man Goldberg doesn't sell tickets anymore. Nobody is excited to see him. If they're like me they watch for cringe value. The streak ended over 20 years ago because the crowd turned against him. You can get away with his gimmick for a year at most but eventually the audience turn or a guy who doesn't know a wrist lock from a wrist lock. Yes they did get over for a short very limited time because eventually the audience sours on that. They don't have longevity and they're an attraction for a short time. They have a gimmick that has a very short shelf life which is why their careers are short. I know I'm repeating myself here but Goldberg is only brought back because Vince is out of touch with what the fans want to see, new stars not some old man with a 10 minute entrance and a 2 minute match after he concussed himself on the door.

warrior thinks it may have been his doing that made triple nose the most overrated wrestler in the company today but it was the bosses daughter

[@theunderweartaker4349]

Triple H just a back stabber who married the boss's daughter.

[@willyupshaw]

Compare Warriors WM return match at WM12 to Jake Roberts WM debut WM2. No one could understand why Roberts decided to wrestle the jobber he was meant to squash with so much on the line. Warrior was douch here. He could easily have put himself over with a better match, but he was too full of himself and lazy to bother.

[@Foralltosee1623]

After the screw job the Clique and all the shit. I don't mind that Warrior squashed the shit out of the HHH.

[@senben9180]

Ultimate warrior should've kept the belt after Wrestlemania 6 for at 6 years, but all in all it was too soon, hulk hogan should've kept the belt a couple years longer. Until he got 10 years full. LONGEVITY is great, dumb Vince macmahon. Switching the belt so often I can't count. That's dumb. How often did Patriots win super bowl in a row! People couldn't believe hulk lost. It was too soon and for what? 1 year later ultimate warrior was gone!!! Totally stupid.

Warrior could have Atleast allowed hunter to roll him over and then power out after a one count. The complete no sell was a disgrace to the business. Standing up directly after the move not only made triple H look bad but it made wrestling look phony.

I mean it was pointless for the warrior to be jobbed by hhh at that time

[@Unreal316]

More like he is taking credit for triple h's inferiority complex which led to all the atrocities that Triple H has committed as a talent in his career. I mean think about, everything that Triple H's reign of terror was, essentially was him compensating for what warrior did to him. There is a level of psychology here that is really astounding if you think about. I mean its like a serial killer who's traumatic event in his childhood leads him to use his victims as surrogates for the person he actually wants to harm but never can. This moment essentially made triple H the person he is, was and ever will be. He grasped and took hold of every aspect of wrestling so that THIS could never happen to him again.

[@jekyllynch6168]

Warrior should've been to jobbed to Brooklyn Brawler

[@ltopomcfly5583]

Warrior is 100% right about inspiring Triple H as a main eventer. "The Game' is a total rip-off of the Warrior gimmick - big jacked, long haired barbarian guy who rarely loses. And Triple H only got himself booked that way to make fans forget how weak he looked next to Warrior.

Wait, is that what politicians who say they are "anti-woke" mean?! The "saint of anti-woke" is a delusional, homophobic, racist with bad cardio, who made public vile, bigoted, hateful, judgmental comments about a cancer victim, Hurricane Katrina victims, and even Martin Luther King Jr.? I'm trying to educate myself before voting in my first election, and my understanding is that Republicans are "anti-woke." Interesting.

[@don8244]

True jealousy. Instead of being gracious for having worked with part of the then next generation of talent, he decided to be spiteful about how one match went and its what-ifs ready to put on his old guard hat to show what's good vs what's bad.
If people like Warrior owned all the territories back in the 80s, wrestling would've never changed; Thank God that wasn't the case.
