Warrior Speaks - An Audience with WWE Legend The Ultimate Warrior

[@mahatmaheil]

Why does a guy rumored to be such a self-centered guy resonate with me so much? So much charisma and intensity.

[@fuzzluvver69]

Because it's exactly that - rumoured - by generally bitter, insecure guys who never achieved a quarter of what Warrior did. Most of them sold out their values when it came to accepting money, and could never understand someone who had principals yet also managed to make more money than they did whilst upholding them.

[@LegendaryUnknown]

Because he wasn’t. He was a great guy.

[@russellcampbell3500]

Maybe because your a fool like him. Anyone who can listen to his own words and thinks he is misunderstood then like I said your a fool. Period

[@Halloweenmascot]

Rumours are usually all load of rubbish and a lot of jealousy

[@markw110]

I love wrestling and wrestlers, but lets be honest most of them are roided out theater f*gs. A lot of the bitterness towards Warrior seems to be centered on his business savy. They werent happy he wasnt the best technical wrestler but he was paid loads of cash.

[@TheBigChad]

I miss this guy so much. He was one of my heroes as a kid, I had all the tassels and paints for my face, I started working out at 13 years old! I kept saying I’m going to be just like him. I never got a chance to meet him, growing up on the reservation it was so hard to leave if you weren’t an adult. Whenever I’m feeling down or lazy I listen to him and man, it makes me want to go take on the world and be ready for whatever life throws at me. I know it sounds dumb or fangirl but man he molded my life so much. At first I wanted to be a wrestler but seeing what happened to him I changed my focus to bodybuilding and in 2019 I finally got my ifbb pro card. I’m nowhere near as big as the cutlers and the Coleman’s but I became a pro doing it my way, clean, and I’m the first Native American to hold a pro bodybuilding title

[@royetherington6332]

wow brother your touching words are as if they came from my own mind and mouth because bro I miss him inexpressibly and when he passed away the warrior in me rose to the occasion. being an alcoholic for 29yrs. his death sparked my Courage immensely and I Am Proud to be able to say I Am 3yrs 1week and 1 day a sober and clean and confident. and even though we live in a such a negative world now I see the good in everything. versus not giving a shit about anything or anybody LOL quite the life transition !!! P.S. the ultimate warrior is also my #2 HIGHER POWER and FAITH always be my #1. PEACE BROTHER and be well.

He was truly something else. He and Luger were the most ripped wrestlers I have ever seen. Not one ounce of bodyfat on him.

"You're looking at it all wrong, learn to love the stuff that's hard not the stuff that is easy. Build up your integrity in a way that you like to do things that are hard." This is so true to my next step and just a sliver of why this may be one of my favorite videos.

[@juliev4522]

During his final speech he came as Jim Hellwig and left as Jim Hellwig without the mask. He used the mask during his last promo to make a difference between himself and the caracter of UW. During his final days, Warrior saved his legacy for the love of his family before dying...it's called redemption. Thank you Ultimate Warrior for the inspiration.

[@francoisdupont3082]

The WWF guys who say he wasn’t qualified to be a motivational speaker are outing themselves as ignorant elitists. They take for granted their upbringing in educated families with access to mentors. In reality, his message is just right for many kids growing up the way he describes.

[@sparringsessionswithkonnor4366]

What idiot thinks that motivational speakers need qualifications other than being able to motivate or inspire people?

[@richspizzaparty]

I actually purchased this video when I was at a really low point in my life. His sincerity and philosophy helped a lot. Wish he were still around because he'd have a great career as a speaker, podcast guest and author.

This was such an AMAZING, TRUTHFUL speech! What an incredible drive this man had! And he could not be more correct about working out. The adrenaline, endorphins, satisfaction and confidence it gives someone is impossible to describe unless you do it

I love how everyone is so quiet, hanging on every word he says. Everything he says has this unexplainable energy to it. I love it! Warrior lives on!

[@kathypickett1527]

Thank you for releasing this in its entirety. Time passes so quickly when listening or watching these speeches because of his way with great intensity and passion. I of course was struck when he mentioned: “you should be an author, you should be a writer...” Boy, I sure listened to my gut instinct on that. 💙🙏🏻 I also loved his message about being spiritual and how personal for him sharing intimate details regarding Kerry Von Erich and their friendship. The soul and spirit is who we all truly are. Warrior was/still is indeed a great orator and storyteller. What a honor to be present and hear him. Many thanks once again Steve. These videos are truly ultimate. 💜

Just watched this and I'm blown away how 11 years later you can see this and nurture yourself with everything he said. I loved the part where he asks everyone what he was thinking and nobody participated. That right there is our society, it just listens, it doesn't participate, it doesn't act out to get the best out of something. Of course, our upbringing has a lot to do with it, but also the education, it should empower kids to get out there take action. Thank you so much for sharing this LEGENDARY UNKNOWN, Warrior has been inspiring me lately since I thought about him and started going on a long time search of all he did and said.

[@Kungfugrasshoppa]

I hear you

[@Saphy_Bagel]

Pretty damn insightful from a guy whose name and character has been dragged through every mud puddle possible. I am genuinely impressed with the growth as a person Ultimate Warrior obviously experienced in order to be able to captivate a grown man at my age who really didn't care for him watching him as a kid. R.I.P. Warrior. You absolutely made a. difference in many lives while you were here.

It's like he continues to inspire and make his presence known in this realm even after his passing. I'm 32 and just recently became a fan of The Ultimate Warrior years too late. Watching him on the old WrestleMania episodes, Ultimate Warrior gave me goosebumps every time he ran down the ramp like a shooting star and interacted with the crowd from afar. Hell, even the things he'd say in character were amazing. In recent years, I've been struggling to find my way in life. I felt stuck and was fighting an internal battle to either accept it or to actually do the work to do better. This interview showed up as if he had given an answer from beyond the grave. Jim Hellwig truly was a larger than life person, and I wish I could have met him. Thank you Ultimate Warrior. Thank you Jim Hellwig. You're surely missed, RIP.

Wow such passion watching him when I was a kid he was my favorite wrestler In the early 90s then he made a come back I believe in 96 I went to a house show in Pittsburgh he was supposed to tag in a 3 man with Shawn micheals Ahmad Johnson but was replaced with sid. I was so disappointed. But when he died I was more disappointed. This speech "enjoy doing the hard things" we need to man up as a society. Great speech the twinkle in our eyes we need to get it back.
