Warrior is always the big guy of the Blade Runners. You can now see what Sting was talking about when he said that Warrior was like a bus compared to him. This Sting and Warrior at their biggest.
THE WARRIOR IS THE BEST WRESTLER EVER, BETTER THAN SHAWN, BRET, TAKER, FLAIR.....THE BEST BAR NONE.....BEST MUSIC, BEST COSTUME, WHO CAN BEAT RUNNING TO THE RING AND CLOTHES LINING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARRIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
The blade runners rock & sting would go on to be world champions carry two compaines and be hall of fame legends on tag team in history to have equal talent and do this! in all tag teams one is better than the ohter! wrestling lesson no.4!
I don't understand why anybody would want to like that, and by the way look how tiny his head looks on that huge upper body, I mean he looks ridiculous
@Mrwilswift No, he didn't start it. He's riding the wave that's already established. Hogan & then the Road Warriors are probably the ones most responsible for that. Roadies (& the Eddie Sharkey Roided Bouncers Crew) were the ones that got pushed to the moon immediately because of their looks. Hogan got pushed hard pretty quickly and his success in the early 80s probably contributed to that phenomenon a good bit. Not that there was a lot of steroids in wrestling by the late 70s at least.
@TheMotleyFuckingCrue I think the full quote is "the only thing y'all know how to do is pull them breeches down and stick them steroids in your booty!" LMFAO!
@witchdoctor216 warrior was at his biggest here at 285 with a solid 22inch bicep for comparison he was about 270 at wrestlemania 6 260 at wrestlemania 7 and 230 at wrestlemania 8
this is ironic, both these men went into two of the biggest businesses, made a big name for themselves, feueded with the best and won the big gold in the same year!!!
@genericgeorge Juiced up later on? He's full of the stuff at this point aswell, same goes for sting for that matter, but for some reason, people only throw the "Steroid" accusation at guys who look freakish with vascularity to the max. Scott Steiner, for example, people make a lot of his freakish looking physique from 98-onwards, when the truth is that the only pics of Steiner drug-free are probably ones of him and Rick exchanging headlocks on their bunkbeds when they were kids.
Even back then..Try as each of them &/or they might've...Warrior(Jim) & Sting (Steve) just couldn't really pull-off the "Obnoxious Heel" roles...At least Sting (Steve) couldn't...Which is why Sting/Steve's heel turns just don't sell/last long...Probably imho,at least...
@poethepoetspoet Well for 1...Ive seen them both in different shoot interviews where they openly admit to it ... & 2..you must be a total retard if YOU can't tell from whats natural & whats not!
looks like Warrior and Sting had A LOT of history together when they were just young kids in their twenties, from Powerteam USA to the Blade Runners and then on to the FREEDOM FIGHTERS?????
It's a shame that Warrior couldn't really wrestle, or talk for that matter. I really think he could have been Hogan big. His character, and physique was always even better than Stings... and Sting is one of my top 5 ALL TIME (I'm from Nebraska so I'm biased lol).
@KingstonHawke Uh are you high? Warrior was and is Hogan big. When people talk about wrestling back in the late 80s early 90s the people that come to mind are Hogan, Macho Man, and Ultimate Warrior...those are the top 3 that people who dont even watch wrestling know about.
@terryfink No Hogan isnt a name. The only reason Hogan is still a name in wrestling is because he could never get out of it because his ego is way too huge. Im not saying the Ultimate Warrior doesnt have ego issues but people who dont watch wrestling still know who the Ultimate Warrior is even if they say isnt he that wrestler from the 90s? People still say that about Hogan, they say isnt he that wrestler from the 80s and 90s? Hogan isnt a big name wrestler anymore, he cant wrestle.
@King2123 Everyone knows Hogan even now, I bet other than hardcore fans no one could pick Warrior out of a line up. Hogan is one of the most recognisable people ever let alone in wrestling.
He is Mr wrestling.
Austin may have made more money, the Rock has made it on his own but Hogan is still the one people would recognise either by name or by face.
@KingstonHawke You may want to check out some of his later WCCW matches/promos prior to/after his face turn.There are some some on youtube. Even his matches as Bladerunner Rock aren't bad. His moveset wasn't consistent enough once he went to the wwf. He should've combined more elements from those gimmicks into his later character/gimmick. If I come across any from elsewhere, I'll post them myself. Watch his promos against Goldust, Sid, NWE, Undertaker (PTW), even the one w/ Red River Jack.
looks like my tape trading from the 90's got around i have the original along with 6 hours of addtional programing from mempis this is just a taste of what all on the tape
I wonder if this was unscripted the way he tore into them about steriods and so on. Also, both me, at some point in their careers were the biggest stars of their promotions so eff you Phil Hickerson. That's what you got your ass kicked lmao
WCW really dropped the ball with Warrior in 1998. I feel like instead of just throwing him in the mix with Hogan, he should have teamed up with Sting...leading to the two of them having a face v.s. face feud. I know it's easy for us as fans to say, "This would have worked better", but I really feel this angle would have been MUCH more entertaining and successful than the angle Warrior had with Hogan.
@nWo24life Actually he and Sting teamed one time on Nitro but Hogan just wanted him in the company so he could massage his ego by getting a victory over him. Even if they would have kept him around they would have screwed it up like they did with Bret Hart.
@KRRYDER Different types of steriods do different things to a person. Here Warrior was all swelled up with water weight. It's funny what 20 lbs or so of water weight will do as far as how big a body builder looks. He looked much better in his wwf days.
@lockenjr Not to mention they both beat the two top guys in the biz (Hulk Hogan & Ric Flair) for the belts. It was supposed to be the passing of the torch so to say. Unfortunatley for them a year later Hogan and Flair were the champs again.
@landinmycourt just like billy jack haynes and kerry von erich suppose to take flairs nwa torch never happened well for six days it did for kerry. But I can tell you that living in oregon as big as billy was the nwa would have had their equal to hogan in the mid 80's had they put the backing behind the legend from portland oregon billy jack haynes...
@lockenjr I've always said that if Kerry would have had his head on straight he had the potential to be on the same level as Hogan. As for BJH I've heard him say that he was supposed to get a big main event push when he first came to the WWF in late '84 but he and McMahon had a falling out. Then when he came again in late '86 he was religated to the mid-card. Although he did team with Hogan one time to take on The Hart Foundation.
Wrestling in Memphis was so great. I mean to make a storyline credible enough to want to see and old veteran take on a green muscle guy. The fans were so into it too...You gotta love it. The truth is the Warrior and Sting, ( now my all time favorite wrestler), needed a Phil Hickerson to show them how to WORK!
to me this is funny most wrestlers know each other,but what i wanna know how did they make the choice between wcw and wwf because in 88 when i was 4 i wanted sting and ultimate warrior to fight hulk hogan and macho man but my dad just always told me they were in two different companies
@killaboscoville they trained together & debuted as a team in Memphis in late 85 (this is just a few weeks into their careers). Then went to Bill Watts' Mid-South/UWF. Around June 86, Warrior (known as "Rock") went to World Class in Dallas because he & Watts didn't get along. There he became the Dingo Warrior. Sting stayed in UWF then wound up in NWA/WCW after they bought out UWF in 87. By early 88 Sting was one of NWA/WCW's top stars. Warrior eventually left World Class for WWF.
Stinger4lyfe.. You know absolute nothing, Vince never created the Warrior .he was the Dingo Warrior in WCCW way b4 the WWF & thats where Jim Hellwig was building up his charecter & like every other wrestler has said in the past.. if ur not in the business to make as much money as you can then your a mark.
Warrior sounded so normal....lol that was before WWE & VInce McMahon had gotten a hold of him.
Got his money i guess, just ironic. They created him the way he was and pumped him full of drugs, but the second it went wrong this disowned and clowned what they had created...
Twisted as hell, lol but i guess Vince has done alot worse with others.
@Stinger4Lyfe Created? LOL First of all, he's far more pumped with drugs here than he was at any later point in his career (at least with steroids).
Second, Vince did not "create" the Warrior. He pushed him to the moon and made a big star of him, but the "Warrior" chararcter was created in World Class. He advanced it in WWF, but most of that was his (Hellwig's) own doing.
Jim Helwig, aka The Ultimate Warrior, was a male escort for old, rich, gay men in his younger days....and that's a FACT!

For being so "big", why didn't the warrior gorilla press that guy? Was he too heavy for all those big steroided muscles of his?

Wow, REALLY early stuff here...late '85 I guess, just a few months into the career of both guys.

Borden and Hellwig are so awkward with their 'roid bodies. Hellwig falls like a tree, and Borden punches like a girl. Their muscles are in the way.

Wrestling in Memphis was so great. I mean to make a storyline credible enough to want to see and old veteran take on a green muscle guy. The fans were so into it too...You gotta love it. The truth is the Warrior and Sting, ( now my all time favorite wrestler), needed a Phil Hickerson to show them how to WORK!

to me this is funny most wrestlers know each other,but what i wanna know how did they make the choice between wcw and wwf because in 88 when i was 4 i wanted sting and ultimate warrior to fight hulk hogan and macho man but my dad just always told me they were in two different companies

If you get offered a job at a giant corporation that is in your line of work, you'd probably take it, whether it was wwf or wcw, it doesn't matter.

@killaboscoville they trained together & debuted as a team in Memphis in late 85 (this is just a few weeks into their careers). Then went to Bill Watts' Mid-South/UWF. Around June 86, Warrior (known as "Rock") went to World Class in Dallas because he & Watts didn't get along. There he became the Dingo Warrior. Sting stayed in UWF then wound up in NWA/WCW after they bought out UWF in 87. By early 88 Sting was one of NWA/WCW's top stars. Warrior eventually left World Class for WWF.

Stinger4lyfe.. You know absolute nothing, Vince never created the Warrior .he was the Dingo Warrior in WCCW way b4 the WWF & thats where Jim Hellwig was building up his charecter & like every other wrestler has said in the past.. if ur not in the business to make as much money as you can then your a mark.

Warrior sounded so normal....lol that was before WWE & VInce McMahon had gotten a hold of him.
Got his money i guess, just ironic. They created him the way he was and pumped him full of drugs, but the second it went wrong this disowned and clowned what they had created...
Twisted as hell, lol but i guess Vince has done alot worse with others.

look at himm here hes juiced to the gills you cant blame that on vince
cbass222 2 years ago
@Stinger4Lyfe Created? LOL First of all, he's far more pumped with drugs here than he was at any later point in his career (at least with steroids).
Second, Vince did not "create" the Warrior. He pushed him to the moon and made a big star of him, but the "Warrior" chararcter was created in World Class. He advanced it in WWF, but most of that was his (Hellwig's) own doing.
