I know a lot of people who absolutely adore the Iron Sheik, and I admit I have chuckled at some of the things he's said but quite honestly he acted like a toddler in this situation. I commend you for the way you handled the situation. Anyway...I just wanted to say thanks. I from New Jersey, and due to a busy school schedule with finals and the preparation for them I didn't get to come see you, but I so wish I did. You're really a hero to me...I've been through fire in my life and you have inspired me to keep fighting. I'm so glad you know just the kind of impact you have on your fans. I was only a little kid and I don't remember you that well when you were actually a wrestler but I always used to watch wrestling with my friend's brother and when they were cheering for Hogan I was cheering for you. You're the best. Thanks so much, Warrior.

I use to own a Warrior hat,a Warrior shirt,a Warrior action figure,and i'd cheer you on every week i mean i felt so much energy run through me when your music played and you came running to the ring shaking those ropes. I still remember some of your matches,but the one storyline i'll always remember is when Paul Bearer interviewed you in a funeral parlor and you looked back at a casket with all your logos on it then you grabbed Bearer and Taker came out,jumped you,and shoved you in the casket it's sad that the WWE went from great wrestlers with great characters and great storylines to wrestlers with no character and very few storylines. You and alot of others put the WWF on the map and i'll forever be proud to say that i am an Ultimate Warrior fan because you were my hero growing up and you still are. Thanks for the great entertainment over the years and even tho you moved a way from wrestling i still follow you no matter what you do. I hope one day you can make a rare appearance on wrestling. P.S. i hope this comment fits the right blog because i haven't been here in awhile and the site changed alot. Sincerely, long time fan, Jason Hey Warrior,

Now you disrespect other wrestlers, what the hell did you do that was so great. So what you beat the honky tonk man in 30 seconds at summer slam 88, well chris benoit beat orlando jordan for the u.s title in 25 seconds so it seems you have no records left in prowrestling. I think you should take a look at your self because it seems like your tellin people that all there beliefs are wrong and yours are all right. now if your going to responed do it but cut a shitty blog about me and my comments because that is something a 17 year old girl would do.

I mean, seriously. I’ve never heard any other professional wrestler talk about themselves the way you do. I read about how you claim that you’re so kind and giving and respectful to your fellow man, yet, aren’t you the one who caused a near riot at Harvard for calling homosexuals the problem for society’s issues? Aren’t you the one who called out Shawn Michaels and Steve Borden, two BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS and never faced them? Aren’t you the one who insulted Vince and the WWE DURING your tenure with the company? Aren’t you the one whose promos were pointless and didn’t make sense? You speak about hypocrisy, and how we need to lose that aspect of society. I have news for you, you’re not exactly innocent of the crime either. And I’m not, repeat, NOT going to kiss your ass and call you the greatest professional wrestler ever. Fact is, you’re so far removed from it, that the only person who you could get a good match out of that’s not named Hulk Hogan is probably The Great Khali because like you, he can only work a 5 minute match. You’re not a great human being either, not after all the near riots you caused for your ultra conservative comments. You have the right to have whatever political view you have, but you sir, do not have the right to call any group the problem of today’s society, gay, straight or otherwise. See, I’m coming to you with my grievances against you personally for one reason and one reason only. To show you that you’re nothing more than a two-faced, lie about your career hypocrite. Now, do us all a favor and learn to shut your trap for once, because just like your promos, you don’t make a damn bit of sense. yeah, yeah, yeah whatever. People like you suck, I remember reading a post on myspace about how some idiot went on tearing the U.S. Army, and everyone in the military apart and calling them uneducated morons, who were nothing but immature degenerates and bullies, unfortunately, another infantry soldier responded by saying "since you are an American you have the right to say that, but as a soldier I will protect you to, as a sign of kindness." If an asshole like him as an American has the right to say that, then Warrior and me also has the right to say that "QUEERING DOES NOT MAKE THE WORLD WORK", what are you going to do about that, punk???, that's my freedom of speech and warrior's as well. And oh yeah, the freedom of speech does indeed protect my right to call that group of people HOMO's as a problem of society, not the only one of course, but one of them. # J.D Says:
