Line #3 Trivia/UltimateWarrior


1	* FollowTheLeader: Although Warrior did flip over Wrestling/AndreTheGiant and put Wrestling/AbdullahTheButcher on a Bearhug, he did all of that years after The Hulkster had done it at least 5 times.
2	* [[BreakupBreakout/ProWrestling The Jannetty]]: To Sting, arguably. They actually were both World Champions during the second half of 1990. Sting achieved more because he was more stable.
3	* MoneyDearBoy: He was 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.
4	* OldShame
5	** ''Power Team USA''. It was a team of bodybuilders-turned-wrestlers, including himself and the future [=Sting=]. However, they are the only ones from the team who ever had any kind of careers.
6	** Warrior says his WCW career was only used to stroke Hulk Hogan's ego and that if he had realized it earlier he wouldn't have worked for them no matter how much of Ted Turner's fortune they threw his way.
7	* TheOtherDarrin: Subverted, when he returned to the (then) WWF after his first suspension following ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 1991'', he had cut and dyed his hair blonde, and had let his training slip, so he looked like a totally different person, and there were rumors that Jim Hellwig was dead, and another wrestler had been brought on to take over his character. There were similar rumors in early 1990 as well, when Warrior began delivering some strange promos in the run-up to his [[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania VI]] match with Wrestling/HulkHogan.
8	* RealSongThemeTune: The Blade Runners used Music/{{Styx}}'s "Castle Walls."
9	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
10	** How would the face of wrestling be different today, if Vince's original plans for the Warrior had worked out?
11	** Warrior's HOF contract would have had him making multiple appearances following Wrestlemania XXX. Sadly, we only got one before he died.
12	** According to legend, the then Dingo Warrior was approached to play the Wrestling/BigVanVader gimmick. He chose to follow the money to [=WWF=], and the rest is history.
13	** Several hardcore Warrior fans, while discussing the topic of Wrestling/TheUndertaker's face turn in early 1992 (to feud with Wrestling/JakeRoberts), wanted a clear and satisfying pro-Warrior resolution to his feuds with Undertaker and Roberts, with whom he was in a feud [[note]]over Roberts tricking Warrior into believing he would assist him in beating Undertaker, by locking him in a room and allowing a snake to bite him; the Undertaker feud began earlier in 1991 when he locked Warrior in a coffin on the "Funeral Parlor" talk show set[[/note]] when he was fired (for the first of several times) by the WWF after the 1991 Wrestling/SummerSlam. In stating that they wanted to see Wrestling/VinceMcMahon swallow his pride, simply pay the money Warrior felt he was owed (they even stated Warrior had a strong case) and consider the matter resolved, they speculated on a storyline which would have eventually seen Warrior decisively get revenge on Roberts before refocusing on Undertaker and resolving that feud once and for all. The match they dreamed of happening, at [[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania VIII]], would have been a gimmick-type match where Warrior not wins decisively (i.e., [[CurbStompBattle a complete squash match]]) but completely and utterly destroys both Undertaker and Paul Bearer. While none of that ever happened due to how things actually worked out, had [=McMahon=] decided to keep Warrior/resolve to work through their differences and stuck with with the original Warrior vs. Roberts-Undertaker feud as envisioned ... we most likely would never have gotten Roberts' feud with Wrestling/RandySavage, nor Undertaker's face turn (at least not when it did happen) ... and quite possibly never had anything closely resembling The Streak. It's even possible that the Undertaker character, with Warrior completely destroying its credibility at [=WrestleMaia=], would have bitten the dust in 1992 and that Mark Calaway would also have left the WWF, his credibility as a legitimate threat also destroyed.
14	** The big angle surrounding his match with [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/RandySavage at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 92'' was that supposedly one or both guys had sold out to Wrestling/RicFlair and [[Wrestling/CurtHennig Mr. Perfect]], even though neither guy had done so. The match was in the middle of the card and WWE had suggested turning Warrior heel[[note]]The main event was [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/ic.html WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/BretHart vs. Wrestling/DaveyBoySmith, as the show was held in London, with Davey winning in front of his countrymen to send the fans home happy.[[/note]] but he rejected the idea.
15	** Was supposed to have teamed with [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/ShawnMichaels and Wrestling/AhmedJohnson against Camp [[Wrestling/JimCornette Cornette]] (Wrestling/{{Vader}}[=/=]Wrestling/OwenHart[=/=][[Wrestling/DaveyBoySmith the British Bulldog]]) at the ''in Your House 9: International Incident'' [=PPV=] on July 21, 1996, but he pulled a ScrewThisImOuttaHere[[note]]His last WWE match was a countout win over [=Vader=] at a ''WWF Superstars'' taping on June 25, and [[{{Kayfabe}} WWF President]] Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon announced that he had "indefinitely suspended" Warrior on the July 8th ''Raw'', taped the day before[[/note]], and was replaced by [[Wrestling/SidEudy Sycho Sid]].
16	*** This also nixed plans for a singles match he would have at that years [=SummerSlam=] against British Bulldog.
17	** Reportedly, he, not Wrestling/RandySavage, was supposed to be the spokesperson for the iconic Slim Jim commercials.
