The Ultimate Warrior is in another state of awareness.
It seems he is the only one that understands his own words. Maybe we don't understand what he means until we are ready to understand.- There is one other person who can understand him: Homsar.
The Ultimate Warrior was positioned to win his feud with Undertaker at WrestleMania XIII.
If it hadn't been for Warrior's pay dispute with Vince McMahon after SummerSlam 1991, Warrior would have dominated his feud with Jake Roberts, whom Undertaker had sent to soften up Warrior so he could finish him off once and for all. However, Warrior dominates the feud before coming back around for an epic, main-event battle that was positioned to be one of the greatest matches in wrestling history. In the end, Warrior completely demolishes Undertaker, beating him so bloody and severely that Undertaker is virtually unconscious by match's end. With Undertaker no longer a credible threat and virtually harmless now, Mark Caloway leaves the WWF for another organization, where he is never taken seriously again. Warrior, however, continues to build as wrestling's Next Big Thing and Greatest Superhero of all time, dealing with even more severe threats but coming out on top each time. He made a deal with the Devil
He figured "Vince would never break the streak." Sadly, the devil turned out to be Vince/Taker/Brock(take your pick). Warrior was already dead before he made his final Promo.
His spirit came to the ring to say his goodbye to his fans.Warrior didn't actually die, he just had to go back to his planet.
But in order to keep the secret of his race's existence (and avoid being compared to Poochie), he decided to deliver one last goodbye then fake his death. Warrior knew he was going to die soon.
Maybe not the exact moment, but the months leading up to his Hall of Fame induction were apparently spent making peace with the myriad grudges he'd accumulated over the years. One gets the feeling that he knew something was wrong and decided he didn't want to go to his grave holding a grudge. Jake the snake "slain" (...or at least, he was one of the main causes of the such) Warrior, and after that we only witnessed the latter's disembodied spirit crying for vengeance.
As part of what would be a high-profile feud early on August and in what would become their SummerSlam '91 feud, Warrior asked The Snake to "enlight him" on how to take on The Undertaker. Jake agreed under the condition Warrior had to embrace "The Dark Side". To do so, Jake put Warrior into a set of 3 increasingly disturbing tests, being to cross a dark path carpeted with living venomous snakes the last one... a test Warrior couldn't complete, later competing in a Tag Team with The Hulkster for not to be seen again in TV for a quite sizable ammount of timenote .
- In Real Life, Warrior went into a paying dispute with Vince McMahon, later to be fired within a year along The British Bulldog from WWF in the middle of the steroids scandal's craze, then he went to work in Germany's World Wrestling Superstars the whole '93 and having a fistful of indie matches in the States in '95. By then, a baseless rumor reached the IWC claiming to have proof that Warrior had "kicked the bucket" and was promptly replaced by a certain "Steve DiSalvo" or by Rick Wilson A.K.A. "The Renegade".
- So in Kayfabe, Warrior simply vanished until early '96 for a really short-lived returnnote (Either him or one of his "replacements"). Along came 1998, we witnessed Warrior on WCW trying to create a stable meant to destroy the nWo (The appopiatedly named "One Warrior Nation"/OwN), BUT acting more as a supernatural being, performing such feats as manifesting himself incased within a mirror, turning into fog or vanishing at will... in a sense, what Jake taught him about Defeating the Undefeatable:"...there you fought for your life, that was the mistake, you fought it! You got to learn, The Undertaker's way brother is the Dark Side... The Snake's side if you can understand.<—>...if you're gonna get to heaven you're gonna go through hell!"
