History YMMV / ULTIMATEWARRIOR

** Virgil [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_1006.shtml said]] that Warrior was a good guy but he wouldn't stick around long if he didn't get what he wanted.

* BaseBreaker: Oh yeah. As if the ''Self-Destruction'' [=DVD=], and the reaction to it, wasn't enough evidence.

* HarsherInHindsight: As cruelly amusing as it is to watch him splatter HHH in 90 seconds, given how it clearly led to HHH realizing he'd have to do everything possible to protect his spot if he ever got to the point where something like that would be necessary, it looks more and more like a bad idea.

* XPacHeat: During his match with Hogan at ''[=WrestleMania=] VI'', the fans were torn between cheering for him and cheering for Hogan. In their rematch at ''WCW Halloween Havoc 98'', the crowd was split between chanting "Hogan sucks" and chanting "Warrior sucks."

** The Honky Tonk Man [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_255.shtml said]] that, although Wrestling/RickRude taught Warrior how to do a 20-minute match, doing those matches killed Warrior's gimmick, as he was like a precursor to Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s "spear, Jackhammer, 3-count" matches.

** Kevin Von Erich, who worked with him in his Dingo Warrior days in World Class, [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_1272.shtml also said]] that Warrior was quiet, and a "very good guy."

** Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_358.shtml said]] that Warrior "couldn't wrestle or do an interview."

** Harley Race [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_1189.shtml said]] that Warrior [[Memes/GorillaMonsoon "doesn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch,"]] and that he used to tie Warrior to the ropes using Warrior's own tassels.
** "Cowboy" Bill Watts [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_1043.shtml called]] Warrior "a real piece of shit."

** [[Wrestling/TedDiBiase Ted [=DiBiase=]]] ''alone'' [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_683.shtml goes back and forth on the subject.]] [=DiBiase=] credits Warrior for trusting him to lead a match when they were both in Mid-South and says that Warrior was "tremendously dedicated to keeping his body in shape. That's about it." He says that Warrior used the business and that he was an asshole to the fans and repeatedly held Vince up for more money.
** [[Characters/WWETagTeams The Bushwhackers]] [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_500.shtml said]] that they got along fine with Warrior because they knew him from the UWF, but that he would ignore fans who asked him for autographs when he was at the gym. They say that Warrior did that because he saw wrestling as a way to get paid for working out, and that he stopped after Vince told him that everybody signs autographs. They also give Rick Rude credit for helping Warrior learn how to work the right way.

** [[Wrestling/MikeBucci Nova]] [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_665.shtml cited]] Warrior as one of the biggest influences on his career.

* MoneyDearBoy: He's not afraid of admitting the only reason he got involved with the business was to make money and that he wasn't a fan nor watched wrestling.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Downplayed. After the [[ComicBook/{{Warrior}} Warrior comic]] came out, the WWE pushed an angle where Wrestling/JerryLawler, at the time an announcer, mocked the comic for it's poor artwork compared to his own. This was supposed to end with Lawler painting a portrait of Warrior as a peace offering, which Warrior would then break over his head, but when Warrior came into the ring to recieve the painting, he ran in with his hair tied back wearing one of his own merchandise baseball caps, acting as if nothing were out of the ordinary. It's a minor one but Lawler claims that the sheer randomness of it completely threw him off and deflated the crowd.
* DudeNotFunny: During his 2005 feud with WWE, he called Droz a cripple. For those who don't know, Droz was a WWE wrestler who was left a quadriplegic after a horrible botch during a match. JohnBradshawLayfield called Warrior a "piece of shit" in response.

* CreatorsPet: Vince loved him, but many fans found him absurd and grating.
** This ignores how he DOES have a very dedicated audience to this day.

* FanDumb: Surprisingly, a ''lot'' of people get defensive when someone brings up The UltimateWarrior on the Internet, insisting that all of his weird behavior is just "in-character". That this doesn't cover such things as his notorious "queering" speech is ignored, unless they assume he's BecomingTheMask.

* MemeticMutation: '''''"LOAD THE SPACESHIP WITH ROCKET FUEL!"'''''

* SoBadItsGood: He's hysterical because he's just so ''bizarre'' in everything he's involved with.

* CreatorsPet: Vince loved how this guy worked... The fans however...

* MoneyDearBoy: He's not afraid of admitting the only reason he got involved with the business was to make money and that he wasn't a fan nor watched wrestling when he was growing up.

** This is mostly thanks to his shoot interview (see HiddenDepths in the main page) due to him speaking so ''coherently'' it almost seems OutOfCharacter for him.

* {{Narm}}: Try to take any of his promos seriously. Yeah... ain't happening.
