Fun fact Warrior's first run was about four years from the summer of 87 to Summerslam 1991. His second run was April 5, 1992 to early November 1992 (seven months). His third run was about three months and change March 31, 1996- July 8, 1996. His WCW run was 10 weeks August 17, 1998- October 26, 1998. His runs got shorter and shorter until nothing remained.
I’m failing to see a fact that is fun here
The law of diminishing returns
@@jaystreet46 *SEVERELY* diminishing.
Don't mean to be a dick, but there was no SummerSlam '87
His comic run was… four issues? 😂
Another awesome video, Brian! Fun fact: I was actually backstage at the house show in Detroit that Warrior no-showed that was instrumental in his firing. They had signs on the door as we were entering informing fans that Warrior wouldn't be there and offering refunds. Dave Hebner was in charge of bringing me backstage during intermission and when I asked him about Warrior he said "he's done". Sid replaced him in his match with Owen Hart which shocked the hell out of me because I saw him nowhere backstage. It wasn't until the following Monday when Sid was revealed as Shawn and Ahmed's partner. Warrior T-shirts were also only like 10 bucks at the merch stands that night.
GoodMicWork Commentaries- You were there???...
Wow!...
Interesting story.
Do you have any other interesting stories about The Ultimate Warrior you'd like to share?...

I am an avid comic book collector.
I have the, somewhat dubious honor, of having a sub-collection of comics either based on (or written by) pro wrestlers.
Years ago, appropriately enough, I found Warrior #1 at an antique shop.
I bought it, took it home, and placed it on my nerd shelf of interesting items.
Sometimes, I look up at the book.
Sometimes, the book looks back at me.
We have an understanding that neither of us is sure why the other exists, but we still allow ourselves to co-exist.
If I can co-exist with Warrior #1 in my life, then hatred and bigotry in this world doesn’t stand a chance.
Lmao 😂
What’s the value of that now?
lmfao, btw did you ever bother to read it
What other comics by wrestlers are out there?
That's beautiful
When Brian said “give me until the end of the break” I *actually* let both ads play completely
You had a choice to skip? They were Biden ads....your GOING to watch them...
By you watching the ads, Brian got paid to read comics. It’d be a dream job if it weren’t Warrior comics
@rmccay88 the last thing YT needs is less money for those who work from it
@@jbfarley first of all, *ads
He needs all time he can get to process those batshit comics
"Brock Lesnar laughs in that contracts stupid face"
Oooh not good timing!
Brock had a great 8-year run, it was all PPVs and most of them were as WWE or Universal Champion. He had the best contract for most pay/least matches. He's gone now but he had the best deal the whole time he was there. 3 matches against Undertaker, squashing Kofi Kingston to win the title, a ton of money for 9 second match.
Wildberry Jam Ultra Cosmic “he’s gone now...”
We can only hope that stays true.
So Lesnar isnt signed to WWE anymore?
@@Vegeta_1990 apparently not and Dana white said if he and Jon Jones want to fight in the UFC Dana would make it happen
@waluigiwithachainsaw nah, Warrior was a total piece of shit. Brock likes wrestling but he fucking hates travelling (stemming from the schedule in his first run causing his addiction to pills and alcohol). He's also a known antisocial which is why he lives in Bumfuck Nowhere, Canada.
Slightly notable for Warrior saying he's gonna kick someone's ass on TV before Stone Cold started doing it. Attitude Era pioneer!
@DejaVoodooDoll "Just put an S before Hitman and you'll know exactly how I feel about Bret Hart." Stone Cold was already in the Attitude Era before the Attitude Era existed.
The Big Boss Man threatened to, and delivered upon the threat, to kick the asses of the Mountie and Nailz.
Theres no greater mystery? = EVOLUTION is a mystery.
@Foxfire Inferno yeah so you didn't get it 👍
@Foxfire Inferno Way to ruin things.
Such a dope theme song 💯

Now it's the time for a "Lex Luger in WWF" video
Get ready to hear the corny,"I'll Be Your Hero".
With a cameo from your favorite Irishmen
the failed next hulk hogan
From a narcissist to an All American within a month. What a leap.
I can already envision his take on the Summerslam match
Somewhere, a glasses wearing comic book reviewer in Minnesota felt a disturbance when Brian opened up that Warrior comic.
He is a man
!!Punch!!
Wears a purdy hat
He has a magic gun
Whered he purchase that
This.
Comic.
SUCKS.
Of course don't you know anything about science
Pardon my ignorance but who are you talking about
Owen Hart really got along with EVERYONE, didn't he?
I never heard anything bad about him.
Craig S hmm well stone cold
@@El_Gallo_De_Oro I mean crap, the only guy to be upset with Owen had his neck broken by him. Everyone else loved him
Well, Steve Austin didn't wanna work with him.
@@joshuabean9409 i left him out purposely
This Ultimate Warrior video feels like a "Best of Wrestling with Wregret" video.
Between this, his WCW run, and things he would say in his later life, there are many wregrettable years in warriors career
Wregrettable I see what you did there
i see what u did there you sneaky bastard! yes very well said indeed.
His whole career is wregret. He was an ass in every part of his life.
Ever see his art tho
Its ass
WWE did try to re-write the legacy a bit after all the slander.. But almost nobody that worked with the guy really had much nice to say..
Triple H bitching about the “rug being pulled out from under him” but how many wrestlers has he done that too.
I bet a lot of the WWE wrestlers go back to Warrior's and HHH's Wrestle Mania to get pass a bad day at work thinking, "Yeah mofo! How does it feel to be a scrub!"
In the words of Zane, “Takes one to know one”
@@rodycaz8984 if HHH wouldn't have been such a, in HHH'S voice" dick wad"! People wouldnt think like that about him.
Exactly my thought when he said that.
Honestly, I get that HHH Has buried a whole lot of people but seeing as that he unfairly took the fall by himself for something he and 3 other guys did and then proceeded to claw his way back up to the top over the course of the next 10 years I've always felt like he kind of earned it. Sure, his career is full of underhanded bullshit and backstage politics, but ask yourself "Wouldn't you have done the same given the circumstances?" if your answer is "Yes" Congratulations on your hypothetical main event career and if your answer is "No" I applaud you and wish you luck in your future endeavors.
"It's girls like you, that turn men, well into people like Goldust" 😂
And Goldust was a rip-off of a man who in his prime could probably submit the majority of the people on the current UFC roster in a grappling contest. Exotic Adrian Street
@@RobwLPOC who was that man

A body guy who truly electrified crowds with his limitless energy and psychotic frenetic and kinetic aura. Never really learned to work at a high or even passable level and backstage issues really hampered what could have been a meteoric career if he was humble enough to learn. The oddest part was his promos which depending on who you asked was either some of the best or worst promos ever made though theyre still bizarrely charming today.
Oh God, this is still better than his WCW stuff at least.
Idk man. That man in the mirror shit was classic lol
To be fair: By a Trash Point, its ALWAYS ULTIMATE AWESOME
I have to say that isn’t that hard.
Losing a limb in a thresher is better than his WCW run.

Probably because it was on johnson...just saying 🤷🏾♂️
I think it was originally given a gold leather strap because Goldust had it, then Ahmed Johnson won it from Goldust.
@@johnt.campbell316 yea
There will be no one else like the ultimate warrior for good and for bad.
What an absolute piece of work HHH is.
Hey Brian, how are you holding up? Hopefully you've had the time to grieve and are ready to get back up on your feet.
What happened?
@@thesprock5270 His mother passed away
@@thesprock5270 Yeah his mother passed away about 2 weeks ago and he said he was gonna take a week off so I just wrote the comment as a concerned fan.
PrinceofStrongStyle9 v2
Oh gotcha, I was unaware.
My heart goes out to you my friend Brian. I lost my dad this year. Stay strong ♥️
4:21 say what you will, all “queering don’t make the world work” mentality aside, Warrior rocked that promo. “I got a full length movie for you - me kicking your ass from beginning to end.”
Yea right
I didn’t watch wrestling as a child in the early 90’s, but I knew who Hogan and Warrior were. They were marketed like crazy. As an adult, I only recently looked into Warrior’s run and was shocked that it was so brief.
And after all of this, Vince still wanted to bring Warrior back in late 1997.
And people say Vince doesn't play favourites...
Even the most insane and unexpected things happened back then. People who you thought had totally burned their bridges would pop up again years later.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater Based on how many times WWE brought back Jeff Hardy, nothing surprises me now.
WWE was going down in ratings & needed someone to bring the ratings & viewers back,UW was red hot in early 90's so vince took a gamble but didn't exactly payoff ....
He is most remembered for his no sell to triple H's pedigree during dat run.
Yes it's interesting how dude doesn't bring that up there is proof of the contract between 1996-1997 & I've seen it was for alot of money that the Warrior turned down .
Makes me miss Spoony's impression of the Warrior.
And then he went nuts and torpedoed any semblance of the acting career he claimed to want.
Spoony... now that's a name I haven't heard in a loooong time.
Warrior's contracts are as useless as Spoony promising his movie with Patreon money.
@@martinmortyry7444 Down the Rabbit Hole did a good video about him and his descent into obscurity.
hell makes me miss spoony in general. hell of an entertainer. shame he fell down the rabbit hole of self sabotage.....hmm maybe him and warrior share something after all.
The Warrior was my first favorite wrestler when I was a kid during his original WWF run. I know he turned out to be a POS both professionally and personally but he got me watching and invested in this thing we call wrestling. We look back as adults and see his bad in ring work and questionable choices but we have to remember, especially back then, the show was for children. He was colorful, crazy and entertaining.
Same here bud. Warrior was my original favorite then I was all in on Bret Hart.
He wasn't professional at all but he is not a horrible person he let cocaine, steroids, and growth hormones go to his head and mouth he at least was honest about his training school
4:10 didn't have the funny voice over for H's final thought so I did my best to read it in H's voice to fill my gap in alright humor having him interview him self
@@emperortrevornorton3119 Based on the things he has said, I would say he is a terrible person.
I got into wrestling before UW came in didnt like him as a kid Liked Jim Hellwig even less as a human being a true turd-COOL THEME MUSIC THOUGH.
This run makes no sense for me
I can’t remember this at all, but I remember the time he squashed Warrior, had a.. thing.. with Goldust, and His House Show squashes against Vader.
But I somehow don’t remember this and I can’t picture Warrior in the pre-attitude attitude era
Fun FACT Jerry The King Lawler Painted that oil painting of the warrior!!!!!! He majored in art......
Brian: "What is that monster doing to Santa Claus?"
Goku from DBZA: "Nobody rapes Christmas"
Warrior vs turles???
@@alexello1189 Tee hee I like Turtles
That Monsoon cutaway killed me. Also fun game: Watch a bunch of Ahmed Johnson promo clips and take a drink everytime he says 'First of all'. You'll be dead.
Listen, the Ultimate Warrior was my absolute favorite wrestler when I was a kid, but I never went to live shows back then, so the one and only time I saw him live was at the MSG house show, the one with the curtain call, he wrestled Owen Hart and it was awesome to see him live, so I'm glad he had this short run lol
As a kid, I laughed at the promo that The Ultimate Warrior cut on Goldust at 4:23-4:35.
The "I've got just the full-length movie for you!..." line still makes me laugh, to this day.
Brian’s Triple H voice is pure gold. The video took longer for me to watch because I kept replaying it.
The Ultimate Warriors promos were fueled by cocaine mixing with steroids and bonding to plasma and mixing with oxygen. Oh and a lil destrucity.
Then somebody get the new guys that concoction because they sure need it.
@@brandonhendrix7223 the warriors return wasn't so ultimate Austin powers laugh
@Bhumi Rushing Ha, if his 80's promos weren't cocaine fuelled I'd hate to have seen what they'd have been like if he was on the marching powder! 😂
@Bhumi Rushing Yeah cuz they were pumped into his veins through a hose
@Domo Jones Then a mega snort that suggests he's had some practice! 😂
Mr. Zane, can we agree Jake Roberts has the best boots in wrestling history. That's all
No way, the the iron sheik's are better lol
What? Did you not watch the Dark Side of the Ring episode on the Herb Abrams UWF?
Eddie Guerrero gets my vote for best boots
I always liked Bret's.
@@mathewbarrie9149 Agreed, also mid-90s dirtbike looking boots HBK, AJ styles multitude of kickpads, and Daniel Bryan's fuzzy ones.
Say what you will about Ultimate Warrior, but I’ll always appreciate him for making Triple H a fucking JOBBER
I respect him but ultimate warrior was fucking selfish idiotic fig who pops pill and demands more green paper lmaoo i dont like triple h nor trying to protect him just saying who warrior was btw i like his first run
Yeah this guy idiot calling the first Ironman match boaring it was a great match I think
@@xxxjoker607 yeah it was great match but its hard for me to sit at one place and watch a wrestling clinic i took 3 days to watch whole 60 min ironman match and the aftermath of match
@@mahijachandrabhanu790 I actually watched whole thing in one sitting I’d watch Bret all night artist in the ring every move meant something they couldn’t do that match now 150 moonsalts lol 😂
@@xxxjoker607 nice i also luv to watch bretts matches my fav would be against bulldog or against owen dont know and in top 5 fav summerslam matches undertaker vs bret is there he is great wrestler
Destrucity is the "truce" between one's "destiny" and "reality"
Bobby Neutral literary sound like more of warrior jibberish
God...that’s so much funnier than I thought it was gonna be
@Mike Keller Nevertheless, that’s how he explained it
Google gave me a much different definition: in short, it means the way of the warrior and the 8 commandments....
I think it was more a truce between the cocaine and the LSD.
Consistently putting out solid content. Love this channel
Cornett gonna get u
The very subtle jab at Hannity when talking about the dagger on the NYT list made me LOL.
I've watched almost all your videos.... your the best on CZcams and its not even close. You deserve triple the subs
Oh the destructity of it all!
Brian needs to do an Ultimate Warrior comic book review with Linkara.
nobody rapes santa on my watch
But Linkara already DID a Warrior Comic Review, back in ye olde days.
undertakernumberone1 with Spoony no less
Owen vs. Warrior was great. I was seven years old & popped like crazy when Owen hit the Warrior with his cast. Owen is the greatest pro wrestler of all time.
Not even the greatest in his family. The Phil Neville of wrestling.
He was also a great friend of the ultimate warrior..
SteRDLK
No, you’re comparing him to a guy from a weak ass sport like fútbol (or as my stupid country says: soccer). Owen was the most entertaining, high flying, and the best wrestler of his family.
@@SteRDLK like it or not, Owen was the best wrestler in his family, He just never got the push that the rest of them got. He could put on a great match with anyone and probably from any background.
@@th3gr81 football is not weak.
The Warrior was in a different WWF in 1996 than it was in the last '80s and early '90s. In the mid-'90s of the WWF, the in-ring style was all about the fast-paced and some good wrestling. The Warrior returning in the current WWF in '96 is interesting but didn't seem to fit in at all and when he left again and got replaced by Sycho Sid, it seems to work out for Sid in '96 when he was getting a reaction in a good way in the six-man tag that led him later on in the year to finally win the WWF title at Survivor Series in MSG.
All the information of a documentary but given in an interesting and fun way that keeps your attention. He certainly has nailed this sort of video.
Warrior brought excitement where ever he went pure energy
I still would've liked to see what the "lunatic" tag team of Savage and Warrior could've been if it lasted much longer.
Thanks for continuing to upload content during this hard time you’re going through.
The Warrior wore a hat when Papa Shango used voodoo on him and made him bleed black blood lol
It was a jacket, not a hat. czcams.com/video/J6YKICReUCY/video.html
Then the Black Blood became Sentient, possessed Billy Jack Haynes, and led him to dress up as a medieval executioner, and wrestle in WCW.(True Story)
If you want a great review of the Warrior comic book series check out Atop The 4th Wall.
No he didn't... It was a jacket
12:36 Owen must have read Warrior’s comics with that face.
Watching that promo with Goldust, I actually think Warrior could have fit into the Attitude era if he actually applied himself and tried to get along with people. He even had the business mindset, pitching comics, cartoons, etc... just he needed to be around people with experience and willing to work with them in order to produce something that makes sense.
Congrats on 300k Brian! Been subscribed since day one.
Warrior's hat during the Jerry "The King" Lawler segment could have presumably been to show he was in casual Warrior mode, since he was coming down to accept the painting, not to have a match
Rest in Peace Jim Hellwig a.k.a. The Ultimate Warrior
June 16, 1959- April 8, 2014
That Phil Collins thing was hilarious
Phil Collins has more in-ring psychology than some of guys in NXT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was probably the smoothest way to go into a add with that warrior comic book spot
The Warrior comic book would of been good If it was more like a "Fist of the North Star" style in an apocalyptic time period as he fights generic enemies. At least something good and basic.
HHH should really sell some merch with "I Own Everything" on it.
Not Warrior Comics! tHAT HOW YOU CREATE A SPACETIME RIFT THAT FUSES MULTIPLE PARALLEL UNIVERSES!
Ya-hahahahaha! That's right! Very soon all your continuity are belong to me!
Remember Ultimate Warrior died, that means he's a saint and has never done anything wrong and has never disparaged anyone in his life
Just like Michael Jackson lol
It's a shame Warrior's 1996 return didn't work out well.
Im happy that this video was made, Warrior in WCW is one of my fave videos
Can you please do the Jeff Jarrett And kurt angle feud from tna based on Jeff’s current wife and kurts ex wife would love to see a video on it
MarkyD123 done video about this.
Hey Brian. Hope things are well with you and your family. Congratulations on reaching 300K subscribers. I know you have been working your behind off with this channel for a long time and I am glad to see the benefits are paying off
Congrats on 300k man
Sending love to you and your family , Brian ❤️❤️
The best thing about the 1996 run, the only part I’ve went back to was the WM entrance which for the time was one of the most elaborate. By the time In Your House came round I had stopped caring about the warrior and was more invested in the likes of Shawn vs Diesel instead. Hell, the Goodwinns/Body Donnas/Sunny angle was more watchable by that point.
I was at that WM12 the crowd was really hyped that night for his comeback
Congrats on 300k
You could say it was an ULTIMATE waste of time...I'll see myself out.
No need. It was a good joke.
You are a pun warrior!
Drop the mic for that
@@SuperNitroZ64 Not really, no.
@@megaverner he's got a mic?
Even death they don’t stop talking about warrior. The man was special the warrior was fun. Rip. He was an entertainer not some Greco Roman wrestler. His job was to entertain put asses in seats and get paid. And he did.
2020 bruh, people watch wrestling for everything, but not for fun
Wrestling is both stunts and entertainment. People are not watching wrestling in 2020. It's all stale.
CONGRATS ON 300K SUBS. LOVE YA BRIAN. A TRUE LEGEND.
I remember seeing Warrior at a WWF house show in 1987. He hadn't made his TV debut yet, was still going by the Dingo Warrior name, and nobody knew who he was. He went over Barry Horowitz (natch) in a match that had to have gone around ten full minutes (they worked a reverse chinlock spot for a while). Crazy to imagine where he'd end up not long after.
Brian: What is that monster doing to Santa Claus?
>My brain flashes back to 2010
Angry Joe: NO ONE RAPES SANTA ON OUR WATCH!
1. (8:43-8:45)
Too costly to happen.
2. One word to describe Ultimate Warrior in 1996 (even though I didn't watch):
*WTF*
Man your editing is just so fucking amazing. Comedic genius
These videos are some of my favorite videos you make, Z-Man. Keep up the great content!
*Feed me more HHH contradictions in print, Brian!*
I loved his 1996 run wish it lasted longer
The Price is Right wrong answer sound drop always makes me pop. Good stuff
It's worth noting that the match with Isaac Yankem took place *during a commercial break.* After Warrior hits a clothesline, they go to break. When they return, Warrior is making his comeback as Vince tells us Yankem had the upper hand during the break. 80% of the Warrior's Raw debut takes place off-camera.
When the Ultimate Warrior’s Comic came up all I could think of is “Where’s Linkara when you need him ?”
Washing that little black mark off his boots.
He did a few videos with Spoony on the Warrior comics.
Lawler smashed that picture the wrong way round.
I feel like it's been all reviews recently. But these videos are where you truly shine Zane
I loved that you used the comic book artwork on the side bars LOL
Does video on Ultimate Warrior.
Ends with Renegade's theme from WCW.
Well played, sir.
“One of the most unprofessional guys I’ve ever schtepped into the ring with.”
Thank you for covering this
Bret hart said the first time he left the company in 92 was because warrior and bulldog were getting growth from a guy in Europe and he got busted. Warrior told Vince the guy might have their name on lists and Vince fired them before the steroid trial
4:01 Getting squashed by Warrior probably started Triple H's obsession with burying people and led to him dating and marrying Stephanie so he could make sure that wouldn't happen again.
That's usually how it works. Sometimes being belittled makes you become better. So you won't go through it. Good for hhh. He mentally got better instead of weaker
Destruction only makes any kind of sense if you know that warrior had by this time grown fond of playing odd games with the anatomy of words. For example, he coined the word “foke” because the appearance of the word “us” in “focus” gave it a pluralistic connotation he didn’t like. One can only foke alone.
Even kookier was the etymology (I generously term it) of the word (I generously term it) destrucity. It literally means “a truce between destiny and reality”.
Yes really.
Cool breakdown fam..👍🏾
Not too crazy...Everyone "Fokes" alone once in while, it's completely natural! LOL
Lawler's bathroom joke at 10:50 is comedy gold!!!!!
"...me kickin' your ass from beginning to end!" was actually a pretty good line, ngl
"Why do you keep bringing this nutcase back?"
Well, you got me, pal. I don't know. 😆
Ahmed Johnson and Psyco Sid are underrated.
Big T
“Gimme till the end of the break okay?”
*CZcams immediately pops up*
Incredible timing
Hope you’re well Brian, thanks for another great vid 👍✌️
Noteworthy fact: Acclaim's WWF In Your House game had Warrior and it came out after he was released from the WWF.
That’s weird because Warrior was a last minute replacement for Jeff Jarrett in that game
Brey was in WWF Warzone, it came out almost a year after he left...
@@nightowl8363 yeah, that's because Acclaim began work and did all their sprites and motion captures for that game in 1997
