Warrior wins. Warrior haters lose –again.
Always great to be back with you. Hoarded up here at the Warrior Ranch in my tiny 6,000 sq. ft. basement studying Canada’s Parliamentary rules, watching Kung Fu movies and Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell sermons in preparation for my upcoming mental combat with a Canadian, born-again Christian, MMA fighter (so he claims; see comments at “No Sweat. Iron Sheik’s Ass Kicked by Warrior’s Mind.” post if you don’t understand). Don’t worry, warriors, think positively. I’ve no doubts about overcoming this overall challenge. After all, it is certain he’s not doing any serious training, he’s always here at the blog. Soon, I’m going to start charging him rent. Frankly, I already OWN him. His psyche is mine. I do, though, have minor concerns about his demand to square off in “private.” Seems he may possibly be a disciple under the tutelage of that pervert Ted Haggard. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, watch your behind back when you are in the comment area. Warrior’s Machete refuses to be held legally responsible for sexual harassment of any kind.
After many months of outrageous delay the functionality of the site is starting to come together. Recently, I (finally!) received some competent and knowledgeable advice about how to more effectively achieve my web presence goals. The Warrior Web website will keep its digital existence but to simplify navigation and organization all updating and interaction from here on out will be happening first through Warrior’s Machete. An alternating combination of writing, audio and video will be produced and posted. The 10 years worth of archived written commentaries from Warrior Web are coming back online over the next few weeks.
I receive hundreds of email everyday. Three to five dozen of these are from those of you who are newly finding out about Warrior Web although the site has been around almost 11 years now. Until you have a chance to get into the archive of commentaries written during the course of those years — a conservative estimate would be 500-750 pages (actual printed page quantity) — it may be a little challenging to put “who I am” and “what I am all about,” today, in its proper perspective. Until those writings are uploaded, here’s a great overview you can check out to get a general idea.
Now, some clothesline-leveling response to comments of “No Sweat. Iron Sheik’s Ass Kicked by Warrior’s Mind.” which only thy Godly Warrior can provide….
First, the boringly redundant claim regurgitated over and over that others are not paying attention to, or could care less about, the memory of Ultimate Warrior, what I am doing today in my life and what has transpired between the McMahons and I. The facts prove otherwise.
More than 10 years removed from the business, no other talent is more talked about than the Ultimate Warrior. No wrestling talk show can go without someone immediately bringing up Ultimate Warrior. I still today receive dozens of emails every day from these kinds of programs repetitively asking if I will participate in their program; when I do not respond, they never cease coming back to ask time and time again. I also get dozens of solicitations each day to appear at some type of wrestling forum.
The Self Destruction DVD, as a DVD project on an individual talent, was second ONLY to the Undertaker’s; and I have recently heard that its (UW) total sales have now surpassed even his. Even if, as you critics will sillily claim, people purchased the DVD because they enviously took sick comfort in the defamatory portrayal, your assertion that there is “no audience” interested in “anything” to do with me falls flat on its face. Positive or negative, the attraction and interest is still there.
Forget the ’90s for a moment, let’s use the recent NJ event to further refute your ridiculous claims of no attention or interest. Wrestling sites won’t report it, and I was not going to mention it myself (after all, my ego is well nourished already), but since your intentions are to dishonestly misinform the public let me, humbly, bring it to your attention now. The line at the event to see me started to form 2 hours before I arrived there at 10:30 and was solidly active clear through till 2:30-3:00, whereas Hogan rudely got there a half hour late to allow his line to build up and he disappeared 45 minutes earlier than his scheduled departure because there was no line at all. So much for the cockiness of one Nicholas Cordova, Hogan’s handler, who spouted off in a condescending email to Bernie a couple of days before the show, “the only reason people are coming to the show is to see Hogan. Good luck working with Warrior or trying to make your show a success.” Differently, it seems that everyone has had quite enough of Hogan and they are no longer interested in him anymore. (Father of the Year Award? You have to be kidding me!! Pimp, yes. Father, no.)
In addition, the video at youtube of the incident at my appearance, just a few days after being posted, already had over 200,000 views.
The most damaging evidence against your false assertions is what you idiots do yourselves. You never stop or go away! Every single one of you who make these foolish, false claims spends more time than everyone else altogether giving attention and paying interest to the very thing you claim deserves none!
Let’s be honest here, psychos. Your own wife has to open your wallet to see the name on your driver’s license just before bedtime to make sure she doesn’t call you by the wrong name when she fakes her orgasm.
Staying power is staying power, wannabes, and Ultimate Warrior, as an interest, has it.
Concerning all your smart-mark (silly, sad, sorry and sickminded fanboy) theories about an Ultimate Warrior return to the WWE and any potential therein, and considering the imperious manner in which you put these theories forward, I’d say you’re sorely lacking in creativity but that I have nothing on you when it comes to arrogance. (Too bad you’re also lacking the guts, talent or knowledge. Although, who knows, today’s superstar standards have been lowered drastically.) You say “this” and “that” like you know something, when the truth is you know nothing, maybe even less. An Ultimate Warrior return, done right, could still be a huge success and money maker. That is, if the guy who created, performs and owns Him WANTED to do that. Believe me, I know him personally — he doesn’t.
Those of you with diminished brain function please try to get this straight one more time: I’m NOT in the business by my OWN choice, not someone else’s. Every single time I left the WWF, it was not I who called McMahon to return, it was McMahon who called me. I stood up to the industry operators on principle, and I’m not in the business today because I am still standing up on principled reasons.
This talk about “burning bridges” is utter nonsense. In the first place, in the swamps of the wrestling industry the bottom-feeders never reach accesses to bridges; that’s why none of them ever really leave and instead hang out scouring for any piece of waste product floating by that they can cling to. And in the case of those who rise above scavenging in the sewerlike muck, like yours truly, the bridge is, by choice, blown up. Once across the bridge, who and what lie on the opposite side ceased to motivate me as I moved on to pursue other successes in my life. So please, enough of your pseudo-insider’s knowledge. Stick with what you know how to do well: Be a lazy couch slob working the remote, order PPV’s and pizza, lounge for long periods of time smelling your own gas, pleasure your tiny self to diva fantasies, and have no life otherwise.
Recent assertions at Warrior’s Machete of hypocrisy, racism, and homophobia are bull. They don’t stand-up when set next to the facts and the full context of what I’ve long ago already put on the record. Of course, this won’t deter you kooks who find the truth, my success at life and my unflappable confidence aggravating.
Too many of you took too much unnecessary offense to my use of the word “faggot.” If you’re going to get offended, at least give me the chance to do it properly. I promise, you won’t have to wait long. I’m a “sarcastic” equal opportunity offender. As I’ve made it clear time and time again over the years in my commentaries, and including in a podcast (relisted here in this post), I am a wickedly, sarcastic SOB. Dead or alive, I am the one bold enough to speak the joke about your life you don’t want others to tell. Like instances where former talent I’ve worked with, even the Canadian ones, have committed silly, stupid, suicidal deaths. Come on, you got to love the tragic humor in that kind of base, debauched, unmanly end to a big, strong and robust superstar’s life, don’t you? No? See, I told you. I am a wickedly sarcastic SOB.
My use of the word faggot fit the context of the story I was telling about the classic one-liner Hawk blurted out in the middle of a brouhaha while one night in the boondocks of Canada when we were taunted by some drunks boasting how “macho” they were compared to us “fake pro-wrestlers.” You’ve never called another punk male a “faggot”? Are you that emasculated by political-correctness that you can’t see — or don’t approve of — the sarcasm? Really?! Well, hell, then, you might just be a faggot — in the actual sense I meant it. I did not mean “faggot” in the sexual, penis-puffing sense you took it. I meant it in the feminizing, sissy-boy sense that many real males will sarcastically use when taking verbal jabs at one another.
Did I say ALL? No, I didn’t. So why is it ALL of you got your panties in an immediate wad? Reminds me of the time when I owned a gym and one morning I put a flyer on the front counter saying, very matter-of-factly, that 99% of all personal trainers are bullshit and not worth the time or money their clients give them. After many months of watching the 30 or so personal trainers we had registered at the gym incompetently advise and train their clients I easily came to this conclusion for the simple fact that it was true. Well, you should have seen the ballistic uproar of all of them, except one guy — the one guy, mind you, that fell in the 1% that WAS competent and worth the time and money. He never even mentioned the flyer. Not once. He didn’t because he was self-confident enough to know that he was not one of the 99% I was talking about. The rest? Well, they knew they their service was worthless, and they flipped out because someone called them out and exposed them for the crooks and frauds they were. In this post, I did not say ALL are faggots, I said mostly. Perhaps, likewise as the revelation unveiled by the personal trainer incident, some of you who took extreme offense should check your sexual persuasion to make sure you are, well, you know, confident you ARE NOT what you took such unneccessary offense at (mis)believing you were called.
That straightened out, perhaps I can now properly offend you. Let me give it my best warrior shot. You see, I really do have to take umbrage to the distinct way most of you made the extra pious effort to blow up my innocuous use of the word into an unnecessary larger context that I WAS calling the country Canada a faggot. You see, we just had the Memorial holiday here and I am, after all, a really big American Patriot, so I can’t just keep my mouth shut about what you have done. I think that’s a good thing that I can’t. You’ll have to decide for yourself, of course.
Most of you — NOT all — furiously responded defending your country as if I was insinuating ALL of Canada, as a country, were “faggots,” instead of some “individuals.” This was never in my mind at the time I used the word. But now that you bring it up in the way you have — in the aggressive, finger-poking-in-the-chest, challenging manner in which you have — I have to admit that I perhaps I should have let my opinion of your country influence my thoughts a little more. It surely will now as I write this response to you.
For sure, there are some great people in Canada. Hell, there are some great people in all corners of the world. That’s part of the problem when you use group labels any time you mean only to criticize some members of the group. You inadvertently include all those you didn’t intend to. I did not intend to disparage every Canadian. After all, on April 1, 1990, the 70,000 WMVI fans could not possibly ALL be faggots. Hogan fans maybe. Warrior fans, no way. But when you come back at me like you have, after my post, beating your puny chests and whining that Canada is the best country in the World, when I have only said there are mostly faggots in the boondocks, you leave me no choice but to tell you that Canada is NOT the best country. Hell, it’s not even a great country. Some of you have evidently been chewing on too much moose jerky or something. And comparing Canada to America, in any way, is a stretch, I frankly think, only sissy-boys would try to make. The United States of America is the leader of the Free World — and it will always be. America is the standard setter for all great and inspiring things Worldwide. Our problem is not, as America haters ( Canadians included) will insist, that we pound our chest too much. Our problem is that our own leaders don’t do it enough.
I somewhat commend your loyalty to your faulty position that you believe Canada is the best — after all, you are Canadians — but, still the same, it must be hard keeping a straight face when you say it.
Since the war on terror has unfolded, your country has revealed itself as a willing accomplice to the expansion of terrorism. Canada is a country saturated with pacifists. It is filled with unmanly, effeminate, unmasculine, cream puffs for leaders — tiny-testicled Lord Faunterloys to be precise. They support way too tolerant, across-the-board “don’t ask- don’t tell” policies when it comes to practically every single social issue, even though the country is financially and morally bankrupt. Your country is a safe haven for any thug or murderer simply if they show up at your borders and claim human rights violations; even though these criminals with whom you sympathize simply fabricate violations perpetrated on them and your government never checks to find out what actual ones they’ve perpetrated on innocent human beings somewhere else in the world.
In addition, your country is not for freedom, it is socialist, through and through. And any country who espouses these kind of anti-independent, egalitarian views at the sake of trouncing individual freedoms and self-responsibility has got to, in some way, place or other, be populated, I frankly think, with many faggots (again, in the sense I am using it). Of course, if you are determined to contextually twist I how mean “faggot,” as you’ve already shown you are capable, there’s nothing I can do about that. I still have to say it. And as I have constantly shown what I, too, am capable, this American can live with whatever your reaction is to this truth I must tell. Perhaps those of you who wrote and angrily took me to task about using the word would have been better off taking my “faggot” comment for the sarcasm it initially, truly, was. Instead it seems you may have opened a Pandora’s Box of troubles that not even our common historical affections for WMVI can soothe. C’est la vie…
About cuss words and adult language and the ridiculous comparison being made that I’ve used them in the same way as Sheik and therefore I am a hypocrite because I criticized him. Worthless, ignorant try, Warrior haters. To begin with, I’m already on the record making the case, in a commentary at Warrior Web a long time ago, that there are instances where graphic adult language — “cuss words” — are appropriate modifiers (especially for males) and just the effective trigger to set off full-blown, adrenalized masculine engagement.
Furthermore, in the words of my good, manly buddy, Tim, there is a “stark contrast” between how Sheik used them and I did. Trying to make the two the same is like trying to make pornography the same as a consensual, loving, physical relationship between a married man and woman. Of course, it’s NOT hard for any of you critics to do this in your minds because you ARE the patrons and perverts of today’s degenerate, morally-relative culture. Truth is, it’s not even that you believe that what I’ve done is “wrong.” No. Your motive is simply to make what Sheik did “right.” Your agenda is the same as your politically-correct, morally relative brethren — open the floodgates to hell on earth and tolerate any vile, vulgar, despicable and evil act as if it is the same as any decent, proper, and good behavior.
It’s hilarious. The mocking you’ve done of yourselves could not be any better if I’d directed you myself. In all your reviews of what I said, you censor the words pussy and faggot — p***y and f****t — while you, at the same time, patronize the industry and its own habitual vocabulary and post flickering banners on your sites linked to naked pictures of divas. Please, tell all of us who want more laughs, where is the school you attend to learn how to become this desperate, stupid and pathetic?
Same thing with the asinine charges that I am a racist or homophobic. I am neither.
What you’ve all done is try to twist my principled, uncompromising “prejudice” into your own intolerant and sickminded definition of diversity. You are the racists, the bigots. Not I. Shame on you. Since you’ve tried to turn the tables on the two concepts, now would be a good time for me to enlighten you and others on what the difference is. It’s very simple. I expect you to pay attention — and I know you will.
Prejudice is having the moral confidence and discernment to choose objectively between alternatives, especially as it relates to the human behavior, views, and beliefs one will or will not tolerate. I’m not racist against any race or ethnicity, race, or color of skin (although the radical towelheads, sheet wearers, and airport security personnel are thoroughly testing my good manners and patience). But if you are white, black, purple, yellow, red, or even tie-dyed, and you choose to be stupid, ignorant, behave irresponsibly, or are unmannered, degenerate or irreverent toward traditional things that make human life work, then I hold prejudice for you.
Prejudice is not racism. Prejudice is not bigotry. I am exercising my prejudice, not racism or bigotry, when I tell you I don’t owe one single human being on this planet special, unobjective, nonjudgmental consideration — even if they have segregated themselves into a group screaming some sort of discrimination or victimization. Take black people, for example. I don’t owe one single black person special, unobjective, nonjudgmental consideration just because they are black or their ancestors were slaves. Slavery was an heinous injustice, but I wasn’t a slaveowner. I don’t know if any of my ancestors were, but even if they were, they are not me and I carry none of their responsibility to apologize or make amends for any evils they or anyone else committed. Any idea of doing so is patently absurd.
Same thing with queers. It doesn’t make me a homophobe because I find homosexuality abnormal (queer). It IS abnormal and I have the freedom to make my OWN moral choice that I believe it is, just as a queer has the freedom to make his OWN immoral choice to be ONE if he wants. I don’t want a queer to lose their freedom to choose, but neither do I want MY right to judge it as I SEE IT taken away. I am not a homophobe. I have no fear of any queer. The unvarnished truth, which I’ve found out many times firsthand, is that queers are “heterophobes,” pure and simple. They fear, even hate, heterosexuals.
It amazes me that whenever I say something critical about hypocrite born-again Christians none of you christians simply agree the criticism is justified and due, and just leave it at that. No, what you do is you sidestep judgement and condemnation of the hypocrite and you go right into a sermon proselytizing for Christianity. The Word of God is not just filled with stories of peace, non-judgment, love, forgiveness and taking the easy way out. There are also plenty of stories of war, harsh judgment, hate, serious consequences, and brutal suffering. You brag about how much you believe and how devoted you are to ALL of God’s word, but when it comes to time to step up and perform the more challenging and less comfortable requisites to live God’s word in its full, absolute sense, you cower behind the easy, ambivalent, non-confrontational way out. This is repulsive — and you people who do this are nothing less than liars and hypocrites yourselves. Your believe in God is piecemeal — and that’s not the way it works. Shawn Micheals, Steve Borden, Dibiase and other former talent who claim to be born-again christians are nothing more than charlatans and, to go by the Word you born-agains claim you believe, hypocrites of the vilest, evil kind. Any Christian who claims to believe the Word of Jesus Christ and hold any respect for the suffering and sacrifice He made, and, yet, cannot find the courage, decency, self-discipline and self-restraint to forgo participation in tawdry, immoral activities that are destructive to the beliefs he claims to believe, is a hypocrite, flat-out. And any born-again Christian that tries to rationalize their deceit is guilty just the same. You are simply a fraud and a fool if you think otherwise.
Lesson over for today…
Your Founding Father of Ring Intensity,
Always Believe,
Warrior

We live in an insecure world with insecure critics. Those who step up in life are always being evaluated by those who don’t. The net is plagued with forum trolls who adhore making “I’m-wiser-than-thou” comments that are nothing but attempts to step on anothers opinion to feel better about their own. Misery loves company and you know who you are. People that are successful and ENJOY life don’t have time to be critical of others. Who gives a shit if a man with testicles and a love for women uses the word faggot? It should be the least of your concerns. This tip-toe verbal society we’ve become is ridiculous especially in this day and age of communication. We should be laughing at ourselves for all the words we’ve created and added to the dictionary over the years. Who seriously CARES and is really affected by those words!? It’s really just another outlet to direct blame at someone else. You disgruntled individuals need to redirect your energies into humanity rather than a former ProWrestler with an opinion.

I have only discovered this website about six months ago. Warrior’s post are always thought provoking to say the least. First, I do not describe myself with the label “born again” Christian and am not an evangalist trying to convert others to a certain path. Personally, it does not matter to me if one chooses to follow a certain relegious path or not. I also have trouble with people who are hypocritical i.e. espouse a set of values to which they consistently and deliberately fail themselves to follow. However, I have met hypocrites of all faiths from pedophiilic priests to drug using Buddists. I do attend a non-denominational Christian church and would describe myself as one who tries to follow a Christian path and live up to the ideals that Jesus espoused. I am quite certain that I fail in this as I am far from perfect. But if I fail it is not deliberate, but more a matter of human frailty. When I say fail it is never in a sexulaly indecent way; Rather, I fail in ways such as letting my anger get the best of me, not always being as patient with others as I would like, failing to help others when I had the ability to do so etc. Although I am still the author of the book of my life and must not abdicate that responsibility, I feel my faith and having a guiding set of spritual values has not made me weak but has given me strength in times of adversity. I feel the Bible offers a wealth of spritual values for which I attempt to pattern my life. And, yes, as Warrior has said God existed before the Bible was written but that is true of every book ever written.
I think man needs to nuture all parts of his being: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. I think of these parts as 4 legs on a table and if they are not equally developed the table wobbles. Mentally, we need to develop our minds and our ability to think rationally and set the course for our life; Physically, we need to develop our bodies and keep them healthy as the body is the temple for the soul. (For this Warrior has been of great help and I would recommend his start workout program); Emotionally, man must learn to master his emotions and not be ruled by them or let them cloud his thinking; Spiritually, developing our spirit and our spiritual strength and having a set of spiritual values to which to guide our lives. (Sponge Daddy has written beautifully on his website on his spiritual values which are very inspirational-check it out).
About 14years ago and one week before my wedding, I lost about 40 pounds and was overcome with extreme and debilitating fatigue. I was diagnosed with severe lupus and told I probably would not be alive in 10 years. At that time I decided the morally decent thing to do would be to give my wife the opportunity to call off the wedding for as much as I would have hated to lose her, I did not think it was fair she should feel she had to marry me if I was not going to be around. To her credit she stuck with me and I have been happily married ever since. Next I struggled with whether or not I should have kids as I did not want to leave them fatherless in world already full of challenges-although I am certain there have been many great men who grew up without a father figure. This health crisis caused me to seriously re-evaluate my values and priorites. Through proper health bulding exercise, nutritional supplementation, gaining greater emotional balance and, yes, God’s grace I am completely lupus free and in great health all these years later. Although many here including the Warrior himself may disagree with my beliefs stated above, a man is not a man if they can not state their beliefs with conviction and without fear of drawing others judgement.
In ending, one way in which the Warrior’s words have inspired me greatly is his powerful words to “do that which will live forever.” To that end I am trying to the best of my current ability to make a positive difference in the world I inhabit. My wife, I and my 2 children participate in helping single mothers and their children. Children whose fathers either died and left this world or children of dead beat fathers who left their families and failed in their moral responsibiltity to their children.
Long live the Warrior.

“They fear, even hate, heterosexuals.” That is so true.
May 31st, 2007 at 9:57 am
yea
May 31st, 2007 at 10:46 am
I just came across this website today. I’m glad to see that the Ultimate Warrior is still making something productive out of life.
Allow me to say that I am a Canadian, and one who is proud to be Canadian, and I agree wholeheartedly with much of what you say about Canada. Comparing us to the US is, generally, just silly. Canada does have some great points, but America IS the leader of the free world, and that world would be better off if the president could start acting like the leader that the world needs.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:31 pm
I wanted to thank you for the thought provoking posts and to keep up the good job. Some people might not like what you have to say but frankly love or hate the message it still forces you to think.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Amen to all of that.
Warrior, you are my inspiration and god bless you sir.
June 1st, 2007 at 12:25 pm
Canada is full of unmanly politicians. I won’t deny it.
Canada is largely a socialist country. Also accurate, though things are starting to finally (at long last) change to allow a more capitalist mentality and economy to begin to grow.
It will take time, and there will be problems. Growing pains if you will. One thing that a lot of people overlook is that until 1982 Canada wasn’t even in control of our own country, and until 1995 we were constantly under the threat of the country tearing itself apart. Despite all that, there are still a lot of Canadians that are fiercely patriotic and definitely take offense to their little part of all the hard work that goes into changing an economy being called unmanly and feminine. So while I don’t personally take offense, because I see the point that is being made, I do ask that a little (just a little) respect being given to a country that was a British Commonwealth and has had to endure in 25 years what the USA had 150 to overcome.
Is Canada the greatest nation? What’s the measuring stick? Our laughable military power? Our questionable foreign policy? Our terrible immigration laws? Universal Health Care? The answer is no. Canada isn’t the greatest nation. But everything worth discussing has been accomplished over the past 25 years. I doubt that an America fresh off the British teat at their ripe age of 25 had done any better. So how about aiming that sharp intellect on a country more worthy of your ire.
“The United States of America is the leader of the Free World, and always will be.”
Time to go back to the history books. Mesopotamia. Alexandria. Egypt. Rome. Greece. Britain. Russia. Where are they now? Perhaps one should study historical powerful countries before the pride of a country blinds to a simple historical fact. All great societies have a beginning and an end. The difference is how history remembers that society.
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:28 pm
Warrior wins/Warrior haters lose again. You had made a statement calling some Canadians faggots and we had just wanted to know why you had said that. I’m a fan and I just wanted to know what that was based on. No one was winning or losing, we just wanted to know why you had said that. There’s nothing wrong with asking someone what they meant by something they had stated.
June 4th, 2007 at 3:58 pm
i can not believe i have the opportunity to actualluy talk to the ultimate warrior.i’m a big fan of you from cyprus and you were the reason to start watching wwf.all these years i was wondering where have you been and now i found you.you were not just a wrestler to me,but also the man who teached me to ‘fight’ for what i believe in.i hope you can reply to this mail
June 5th, 2007 at 10:59 am
I don’t think of myself as a Warrior-hater… I loved Warrior when I was younger.
I do not believe Warrior has “Self-Destructed”
I can see that he is succesfull and happy.
However I must say in my own sarcastic way Warrior you are a first class jerk. From reading your rants and ravings I can honestly say that though you may be thankfull to your fans and cordial to them, like most in the Wrestling industry, you are an egomaniacal jerk.
June 8th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
i’m new to your site today,and wow! WOW!!! you have spent your time well, my brother. i’m startled by how closely your views paralell my own in so many areas. in a society where lives are lived in abject ignorance, and manly behavior is practically criminalized; your words are a breath of fresh air, my friend. will you allow me to recommend a book that i think you would thoroughly enjoy reading? the title is: the dogs of capatalism, by: mitchell jones. it’s out of print, but ‘amazon’ may have it. i guarantee you that it will educate you in an area you are probably not familiar with. a totally wor thwhile, educational read. this recommendation is my meager gift back to you for hosting my new favorite website. thanks warrior. joe;bx.n.y.

Iron Shiek has another interview on YouTube and basically went off more on the interviewers than he did on the Warrior. Man, I think the poor guy wrecked his brain with Cocaine. The irony is that Warrior doesn’t even have to say anything, his opponents tend to do themselves in. But it is still great when the Warrior gives his comments!
June 10th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
Nice rant.
Some good points, but at the end I hope you were exaggerating that ALL Christians argue with your assessment of lily-livered hypocrisy in their ranks. Back when I was still catching the odd church service, that very same observation was a common subject of sermons.
Personally I don’t like to promote anti-religious sentiment among (mostly ignorant) non-Christians. I’m not a true believer, but it’s more a common sense conceit. Criticise them from a soapbox in the public square and you’re just going to rile up those who hate their Christian beliefs (not their unChristian behaviour).
I Corinthians chapter 6 — I won’t quote it all, but it’s a NT passage by that self-righteous, judgemental old coot Paul, addressing the early churchgoers — advised, wisely I think, that Christian transgressions should be judged among Christians. The chapter also has the typical message from Paul for true believers to make themselves a moral example to the outside world (in case you ever want to humble a perceived Christian hypocrite). And there’s even a bit of the old “neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God” in there (good chapter, no?).

CJ,
Speaking of an ego. You’re so full of yourself, you probably need a double-wide.
June 17th, 2007 at 5:27 am
Mr. Warrior, your haters and non believers can go fuck themselves…as far as i’m concerned you ARE NOT full of yourself, you just tell it the way it
is (Stone Cold Steve Austin could learn a thing or two from you!!) speaking in the area of wrestling, you’ve taken a lot of heat from a certain wrestling
organisation…brother!…i can’t speak for them in WWE and quite honestly
i wouldn’t want to anyway, but you had the most intense, charismatic, energetic and captivating character of all time and i believe that the Ultimate Warrior of 1990 got bigger than Hulk Hogan in that time…and you were and still are a house-hold name, in my country of AUSTRALIA anyway! we loved your character and we want you to do some seminars down under mate, that would be, say, Ultimate! Live To Win Warrior!

Mr. Warrior, you need your own radio show.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
Warrior I think its awsome and very radical the stance you’re taking on bringing back real thought patterns and morals to a young society bent on destruction, and not just with guns but video game controllers.Treating fantasy role play killing as real life.I would like to know your thoughts on alot of older generation wrestlers turning their lives over to Christ?
Example:Sting,Shawn Michaels,Nikita Kolloff and others to name a few.
What is your faith?

Being a Canadian, I actually saw the context the comment was made in and didn’t feel defensive about it, I actually thought it was funny. C’mon guys, our national symbol is the beaver! Everyone has the right to their opinion folks, I’m sure alot of Canadians don’t say flattering things about the US either..
Still in shock over the Chris Benoit news, and would love to hear Warrior’s thoughts……….
I must step up and say here………. that it looked like the Iron Sheik shit himself the way he was walking away at the end of the YOUTUBE clip……
Peace

I find it ironic that most of the Pro Wrestlers should have a self destruction video but the one that gets one is the least destructive. The one that leads a positive life and mentors people for good while his peers get videos that make them look good while they keep being found dead in a hotel room or at their home of a drug overdose. They choose negative death path while Warrior chooses a positive life path. Drugs, Suicide, wife beatings all choosing the death path and the latest is the cherry on top of the self destruction Sundae a double murder-suicide a la Benoit. You know Benoit has raised the self destruction bar when it makes the O’Reilly Factor. Goldberg said it best “who’s next?” I have no idea who will be next but I do know who will NOT be next and he is Warrior.

Another wholly irrelevant rant from a wholly irrelevant man. Those steroids really fried your brain.

GET SOME BALLS FOR ONCE AND POST MY COMMENT !!!! YOU MUTATED BABOON
July 6th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Well, I must say, you have kept yourself busy since leaving the WWF/E. After viewing the DVD about your “Self-Destruction” I figured you were sitting on a subway grate somewhere trying to keep warm, spouting some weird Warrior-speak that nobody would understand (just my impression from the DVD, not my expectation from the man). I am glad to see you are using your time wisely.
I also wanted to tell you I agree that Christians are ABSOLUTELY the most hypocritical people on the planet. How do I know this? I am a Christian. A very flawed Christian. But I agree with you about the contents of the Bible. Face it, if Christians had ANY guts, we’d still have prayer in schools, abortion would be illegal, and homosexuals would still be in the closet. (OK, so I don’t seem like a very good Christian…. sometimes it’s easier to pray for forgiveness than patience.)
Read the Bible, and all books, with an open mind. You never know what you might learn.

Warrior hit the mark with his comments on the hypocrisy of some christians. I am a practising Christian, and couldn’t agree with him more on his point on the way a lot of Christians live out their beliefs.

I would like to take this part of the blog to support Bryan Biggs’s idea here. We all know that Warrior is a Hardcore conservative and that Canada as a whole is a couple of degrees to the Left. I can expect such comments from him. AS a Canadian, I have heard worse and I can easily deal with it.
Another thing, do this bloody blog is called “Warrior’s Machete” for a reason? To quote the Man itself:”Ockham sliced delicately…i sever with blunt force”. It is normal to see pieces of argumentative matter flying right and left. This is the thing I appreciate more about Mr. Warrior; you might disagree with him but, at the end of the day, you know where you are standing compared to him. And this is why this Canuck come back again and again to read this blog.

hi there warrior,
i watched your interview on fox,they didnt seem to want to listen on what you where saying to them,,i completly understand what you meant by the difference of use and abuse with steriods,,
anyway its a sad tragedy that happened with chris,the reason why it happened i think no one can answer really, it could have been due to steriod abuse,or he could just have been depressed for a long time and that eventually made him to go over the edge and snap,but that doesnt mean that the steriods made him depressed,it could have but it could also have been something else…
,cheers from
steffo in sweden
by the way,i think its great that things is starting to evolve oin your site here,havent been in for a while so its great now…

Finally got to visit your site, been watching some of your interviews and old matches on u-tube and would like to thank you for the brilliant childhood i had with you for an idol.
I’m 25 and am as you say maturing and didn’t buy but watched the self destruction dvd because I refused to believe that there was ever anything amiss about your persona then and after seeing your interviews now and posts can certainly say there isn’t anything amiss now. I find your thoughts and posts incredibly interesting.
Thanks for the memories and keep up the good work.

I would say I disagree with the comment about born again christians. I AM a born again Christian, and yes I “try” to live up to the word of God. But a lot of people miss the point. It’s actually impossible to live up to the word of God, and that is EXACTLY why we need Christ. He didn’t come to die for people so that righteous people could be glorified, he came so that everyone would have an opportunity to know Him. I am not a hypocrite, in that I don’t judge others for their mistakes. Why? Because the bible says they are condemned already. It isn’t my responsibility to condemn them.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”-John 3:18
I could care less whether someone is a homosexual or if they engage in sex outside of marriage, or do druge, or whatever their hang up is. That is, as far as judging goes. I do care about the individual, and if I can help them, I will.
