First off, no disrespect to you but Warrior didn't necessarily screw Vince and the stories of him being "money hungry" are far from proven fact. Warrior did however, believe his own hype. I can't fault the man for being upset though. He completely stole Hogan's thunder and clearly Hulk was his usual jealous self and stopped Warriors momentum in its tracks. Warrior's run was going great (He actually had quality matches with Rude for the WWF Title) But then they put him in the feud with Savage, made him drop the belt to Slaughter, which was a disgrace, and Hogan then won the belt back from Sarge. So Warrior had reason to feel shafted.
I'm not the biggest Warrior fan ever, but I thought he was awesome for wrestling and was truly larger than life. When I was a kid I remember his and Macho's career ending match being the greatest thing ever.
Its a shame he didnt have a steady long run with the company but to be honest, Im not sure if history would be much different as far as wrestling is concerned. Maybe him and Hogan could have had a rematch and Hulk would have actually let Warrior run with the title for a longer period of time. Maybe Warrior could have finished his damn feud with Undertaker. The build to that feud was amazing for those who remember. Jake really f*cked with Wariors head. Maybe Warrior would have ended up leading the new generation and having some quality matches with Razor, Shawn and Yoko. Who knows but either way his career would have been done by 2000 and he would be an afterthought by now.
He is deserving of a hall of fame nod but I'm sure him and Savage are never gonna get the respect they deserve.
Warrior was a big part of my childhood wrestling memories and for that, I remember him for the entertaining stuff and I think those who bury him can only do so because of his limited move set. Other than his limits in the ring, Warrior was a great character and I wish they would have done a serious dvd rather than a set showing how much of a joke people thought he was.
