History Awesome / ULTIMATEWARRIOR

* On a lesser note, his super-speed squashing of the Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan for the Intercontinental Championship was pretty good. HTM shouts on the mic [[WhatAnIdiot "Get me somebody out here to wrestle, I don't care who it is!"]] And Warrior then squashed him so fast that Howard Finkel didn't even have time to finish his introduction! [[note]]If you'll watch closely, in fact, Howard tries to get out of the ring and winds up getting accidentally knocked off the apron by Warrior, who's already in the process of destroying Honky.[[/note]]

* Think what you will about his technical skills, but his strength cannot be dismissed. The gorilla press slam requires an immense amount of strength to lift someone the size of his opponents. In a match against Wrestling/AndreTheGiant, he quite easily scoop slammed him, despite how difficult HulkHogan made it look.

** Seconded; forget Hogan/Warrior at [=WrestleMania=] VI, THIS was Warrior's best match. For starters, he WALKED to the ring instead of doing his full speed ahead run, perhaps to conserve his energy for the bout; even Bobby Heenan commented that is was a sign of how seriously Warrior was taking the match. The pop when the wordage on Warrior's tights was revealed ("It means more than this," meaning the world title) is notable as well.

* Admit it. Despite the wildly controversial segments to his career and whether or not you think he was as good as [[ItsAllAboutMe he certainly thought he was]], there can be no denying that his victory over Wrestling/HulkHogan at Wrestlemania VI was amazing. He and Hogan had the match planned out weeks in advance to ensure it was as good a match as possible.

* ''Wrestlemania VII.'' The Career Match with Wrestling/RandySavage. After a gruelling twenty-plus minute encounter, Warrior doesn't just win this match, he ''conquers'' Savage, in what is quite possibly the best story Warrior ever told in the ring.

** He died less than 24 hours later. Godspeed, Ultimate Warrior.

* ''Summerslam 1989'' was a big night for the Warrior. It's been said by numerous critics that working with Wrestling/RickRude got Warrior to slow down and put on better in-ring work, and this particular match is probably one of the best in-ring showings of his career. The feud with Rude can be credited as a major factor in his subsequent rise to the top.
