WCW Region, Lexington Subregion, First Round: (7) Ultimate Warrior vs. (26) Goldust

Goldy couldn't beat the Warrior when he returned to the WWF in the mid-nineties so he'd have had absolutely no chance during the height of his 80s popularity.

 

No you didn't, if you had watch him as a child you'd have been sucked in just like everybody else.

That promo on Nitro was a little long, that is all, you taking comments directly from the DVD and they were almost certainly hyperbowl. You had Hogan and HHH saying stupid things like "he was mentioning matches from the past, you don't do that while building a new feud." Talk about grasping at straws, how many feuds have those two put over by mentioning the past. Ridiculous. You watched that DVD and you were fooled.

Look, charisma, mic skills and ring skills, the guy had it all. I've yet to see a poor Warrior match from the 80's or early 90's. None of you ***** that claim he was bad can fucking find one.

Great, if you want to be like that about it then he was the same as any other big star at the time, actually better than most. Hogan, Undertaker, these guys were all the same mold, except Warrior and Hogan eclipsed the others. It helps that he was good at what he did of course.

Anyway, he just wasn't an idiot, he knew wrestling chews people up and spits them out, he wanted his fair shake.

Goldusts gimmick was always going to work, playing against the extreme homophobia of wrestling fans has worked for decades. Dustin Runnels was given a peach and fair enough he ran with it. Now people are generally more progressive we can have it work as a face, but someone half decent can make it work, look at Rico, he got Charlie Haas over.

Short, idiotic, fun as hell. I'll take another of his mold.
