OVER 30 MINUTES???????? My brain hurts from trying to think about the last time Warrior was in a match for over 15.
OK.......Lets start at the beginning. I'd say that Warriors prime was 1989-1991 or 1992. Agreed? OK....now, lets look at the amount of actual wrestling that took place during those matches (not a rant against his lack of wrestling ability just a general statement) compared to matches that take place in....IDK, lets say 1998. Notice a difference?? Me too.
So.......Warrior's music hits and he comes running down the ramp as fast as his steroid fueled legs can carry him, runs around the ring, gets in the ring and does his little rope shaking shtick. He's already out of breath.
Now lets say that he's up against ANY wrestler who's prime was anywhere from 1998-present. Given the fact that the quality, speed and overall athleticism of matches has INCREASED over time, there's no way Warrior will be able to keep up.
Outcome?? Well lets just say I hope Warrior sold a hell of a lot of T-shirts because, the only gold he's leaving with are the pennies in his pocket.
I'm not trying to put RVD over Warrior. Quite frankly, I don't think he needs my help in that matter
Your lack of memory may be the reason that you remember Warrior as a beast instead of the hack that he really wasThis is a long post, I'll have to quote it or I'll forget things.
In today's day and age, that wouldn't fly.Exactly, Warrior got the job done with time to spare.
I think you mean, if we go down the kayfabe route....not non-kayfabe. And it has been said in multiple interivews that by the time he got to the ring, he was already blown up. I'll find them and post them, but I'm at work right now and I can'tI fail to see what difference that makes in a match with a pre-dertemined outcome. However if we do go down the non-kayfabe route then Warrior's conditioning will hold out, after all, I've still yet to see any evidence of Warrior tiring himself out.
And Michael Jackson doesn't look black.......what is your point?Here's that conditioning thing again, just saying he never looks tired, pumped but not tired.
The Rock doesn't wrestle, he entertains. As for Randy Orton, Hogan didn't face him when he was in his prime. I think the Orton of today would punt hogan back to the 80's. If either Hogan or Warrior should face somebody like Angle or even Lesnar, it would be over quicker than a Jamie Noble match.I dont know, old man Hogan went toe to toe with The Rock and beat Randy Orton. I think it's fair to say that old man Hogan is far less conditioned than Warrior.
And Vince McMahon would have told himDont be silly, he'd have demanded a huge contract or threatened not to show up.
RVD is too quick for Warrior. He would tire him out, hit a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick and 5-Star Frog Splash the hell out of WarriorHe's going to need someone's help, and that someone will need a gun.

No I mean that wouldn't fly in terms of conditioning. He may have been quick to dispose of people like Honky Tonk Man and Papa Shango back in the day, but almost anybody from today's roster can squash these jabronisBeating your opponents in under the 15 minute mark has no bearing in todays day and age?.
His conditioning was awful, thats why his matches only went for 10-15 minutes. Now we're just going in circles.So a bunch of guys who've been told to bash Warrior say that? Thats fine, doesnt change the fact that if you watch Warrior he's still running about at the end of matches the same way he runs down to the ring. His conditioning cant have been that awful.
HAHAHA not a racist, just making a point. Things are not always what they seem to be, you can't judge a book by its cover, insert another tired cliche, etc. etc.Racist.
I am just saying that he show's no signs of fatigue from running down to the ring, which could well mean that he didnt tire himself out.
There is a difference. Remember, we're speaking in terms of kayfabe here. You can't just bring up non-kayfabe points (theres that word again) whenever they suit your argument. We're either arguing in kayfabe or not. Pick one.Oh god, you think there is a difference? All Pro-Wrestling is entertainment, The Rock "wrestled" as much as anyone else on the roster. -EDIT- Actually, he did it better than most of the roster. -EDIT-
.
He would definately beat the Hogan of today, I have no doubt about it. But thats neither here nor there. The issue is Warrior.He might beat the Hogan of today, although his win/loss record in singles competition isnt fantastic.
LMAO.....and yes that would be the reason, thank you for agreeing. Now thats not to say that it would make them better wrestlers, just that they would have better conditioning. Even if, as you say, Warrior had good conditioning, people like Lesnar, Angle, Benjamin would still have a leg up on him.Really? I suppose it's because Angle and Lesnar are "wrestlers" whereas Hogan and Warrior are just "entertainers". You see what you did? You made me use that smiley, I hate that fucking smiley.
Finally, something we agree onShocky runs this tournament, although I wouldn't doubt the same outcome.
You can't no sell a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick, the universe would implode.Which Warrior would promptly no sell, hit a few clotheslines, a shoulder block and a Gorrilla Press and Splash for the win.
