One small note: Ultimate Warrior’s last appearance with WCW wasn’t the next night after Halloween Havoc on Nitro. It was on the November 9th Nitro two weeks later when the Warrior came to the rescue of the Disciple (Ed Leslie) after a beat down by the nWo. I was actually at that show on Long Island when I was a kid.

[@antonmasters8626]

Wow it sucks what happened to Renegade but I'm pissed off what happened to Bulldog. Nobody felt it was important to inform the guys "Hey, There's a trapdoor here in the ring. Keep a lookout and try not to do much bumps around there" The fact that it made him reliant on painkillers which became an addiction that ultimately took his life. RIP Davey

Google Ultimate Warrior Hurricane Katrina and read his words about why we shouldn't give a shit about Katrina victims. It's too long to post the entire thing but here's a snippet: "This hurricane to them was nothing more than like rearranging the furniture. If we could be shown what general conditions they lived in before the hurricane, we would see that had little respect for what they did have. We would see just how unorganized, unclean and dysfunctionally they lived. They never gave a care for order, cleanliness or function before, but now that they can get someone's attention who will possibly take over the responsibility of their life for them, they go on these tirades about how their life has been ruined.

[@alihaddi4099]

Good point. But isn't Brian looking at careers ruined by Warrior's RUN in WCW? In that case, if Warrior was never with the company, none of that awfulness would have happened unless they used the idea with someone else.

[@planescaped]

Eric Bishof was and is a horrible person. I don't know why he get's a free pass for all he did. He's just as bad, if not worse than Vince Russo.

[@kingofsting19]

No, because the little graphic he made for it literally says "Careers ruined by The Ultimate Warrior", and he's said throughout the video that it's Warrior's fault, not his run. And you can't know that none of that would've happened if they used someone else. Maybe someone else that WCW was ripping off would've gotten someone else fired. Maybe in your hypothetical scenario of Warrior never working with WCW, James O'Barr sues Sting/WCW for ripping off The Crow and he gets fired. Maybe they use the trapdoor spot for a different feud and Bulldog, or someone else, gets injured.

[@FIXTREME]

Thank you for this video!! I wasn't a fan of Ultimate Warrior as a kid or later as an adult because of many of the points you brought up here, and that he was a Hogan clone (another big muscley guy who many just had to love but couldn't wrestle). I know we all have to revere Hellwig's career now, but just like there are those who refuse to hate on Benoit after how his life ended, I can choose not to suddenly love the Warrior's work now that he's passed away

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I love that you referenced Are You Serious Road Dogg was hilarious on that show

[@sharona1981]

Much like Hogan, I was never a fan of Warrior as a kid (Jake Roberts and Roddy Piper were my guys-I like villains, ok? Sue me. :) ), I just didn't get it. Sure, he had an energetic entrance and LOOKED great, but once he got in the ring, I was always like, Meh. By all accounts, he was a homophobic douche living on cloud cuckoo land, but now, because he's passed away, WWE want to paint him as a big hero. I respect that Warrior was massively over in his heyday, and his death was untimely-not to mention eerie, but the whole thing did and does smack of hypocrisy. His WCW run was especially awful-that mirror segment still cracks me up to this day. Unintentional comedy at its finest. On an unrelated note Brian, massive congrats on the new arrival! :)

Warrior wasn't for everyone, I agree. But the ones he did reach, he inspired and motivated like no other. Guys like warrior had me constantly doing push-ups etc. Name me ONE wrestler on todays card that has even half the influence warrior had. All the wrestlers today COMBINED couldn't sell near the number of tshirts or tickets. Warrior made wrestling believable, even as far out as he was. You could tell this guy was no fraud

[@alihaddi4099]

So in a way you don't like villains, since you don't like Hogan and Warrior who, as we know now, are not as much heroes as their characters are.

[@SupaStah01]

Dread Baron shouldn't you be watching pokemon?

[@sharona1981]

I meant onscreen wrestling villains-apologies if I didn't specify there.

[@alihaddi4099]

SupaStah01 Where did that come from?

[@vcom741]

Wasn't the Disciple yet another name for Ed "Bojack Horseman" Leslie?

[@shadowdramon01]

vcom741 - Yep.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

I swear he had like 5 names in WCW

[@16rumpole]

zodiac, disciple, booty man, am i missing any?

[@shadowdramon01]

If I remember correctly, he's had 15 gimmicks between his WWE and WCW careers combined.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

first debut was as "the butcher"

[@jeffreyatkins4760]

I really like this videos style, it's my favorite of yours so far!

[@dougtunnels6503]

Great channel, been binge watching all the vids

[@TrueBackLash]

Didn't Disciple get fired after the Warrior feud ended? Wouldn't that bring the count up to 4?

[@landshark1215]

No, Disciple was Brother Bruti, so as long as Hogan's good, so is he.

[@Canyoutakeitallaway]

I normally don't drop likes for one sole thing in a video, but that puppet skit made me laugh unreasonably hard, and that's when I do so

[@krismacdonald8823]

Well done Brian! This was a pleasure to watch!

[@kutulukutu]

Homeless people on heavy drugs sometimes talk to me. It's like having my own personal Warrior rants made just for me.

[@tomlewis3561]

12:03 I think you mean self-destroosed.

[@SteelyDanzig]

08:55 what a perfect microcosm of WCW, even ignoring Rick Steiner arguing with a recording of a puppet: Four of the absolute biggest names in professional wrestling history having an inconsequential five minute tag match on free tv that ends in a schmozz DQ.

[@blinkth3dog]

This is the episode I always find myself coming back to.

[@lilspliffster88]

brian have you ever made a bad video....i love your content dont stop keep it going I'm subbed and i hit the bell

[@GuiltyClown]

After 4:13 there really needed to be a clip of Tommy Wiseau's "It's NAAAAAHT" inserted

[@JagerLange]

Richard Wilson was in WCW? I don't believe it! [sits back and watches UK audience groan and the rest stare blankly]

[@SomaJuliusCruz]

Did Ultimate Warrior really have creative control in WCW? It sounds kinda silly to give it to a couple of wrestlers and not the rest of them. That right there is why WCW is no longer around. I think that Jim Hellwig should have just stayed home and never gone to WCW but they probably threw a lot of money his way. His run in WCW was a disaster from start to finish. Great video Brian. I really enjoyed it.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

In WCW, creative control was granted if you had a proven track record, as well as guaranteed contracts. It actually sounds silly to give it to anyone tbh.

[@joeriveracomedy]

One of the best vids I have EVER seen. Make them all this funny

[@DMofPuppets]

Watching in 2019, I have to agree. Puppets are important in wrestling.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

Excluding the rare occasions when Warrior spoke softly, I had no problems understanding his promos! I thought they were imaginative and exciting! He was the Warrior from parts unknown and that could be anywhere perhaps even a parallel universe and I bought it! Just wish he hadn't butted heads with Vinnie Mac so often and wrecked his career!

[@kevincapps7694]

Can you imagine the brain damage you would get in a triple threat promo between the warrior Scott Steiner and Sid vicious?

[@Nazzlover38]

Ultimate Warrior will live forever!

[@TheBraunMachine2011]

4:07 LMAO, had in tears lollll

[@jorgegomez7675]

This video is gold!

[@calebzia]

this is zane's best video in a while. great job dude

[@penskepc2374]

7:09 i love that jacket Warrior has on,its so perfectly 1998 TNT its hard to describe. I half expected Maximum Overdrive to start playing directly after 😂

[@Alex_DC413]

Don't forget Hogan vs. Warrior II was one of only 5 matches to get a minus star review from Dave Meltzer.

[@MCLogikILL]

Bride of Chucky is actually pretty damn entertaining haha

[@jeremyfincham1422]

You can't convince me that the Ultimate Warrior wasn't murdered. He ruffled too many feathers.

[@emypetcu]

9:32 hey Brian ,what do you say after Lilly 😂😂
