In part three of my interview with Warrior, the former WWF champion talks candidly about his lawsuit against the WWF, the fall of WCW, the deaths of Davey Boy Smith, Curt Hennig, and Rick Rude, and the infamous "Montreal Screwjob." Plus, Warrior gives a behind-the-scenes look at Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Haku, the Undertaker, Owen Hart, and others. To read part three, click here.

This is a great interview... I've always been a huge fan!

During the comments of the 2nd part of this interview it seemed like most of the negative comments were directed toward the Warrior being jealous of other superstars or a hypocrite. Well I'm pretty sure those comments weren't left by other wrestlers or even members of the staff. So how could they possibly know how the UW acted out of his character? In my opinion I think that these people are probably hardcore wrestling fanatics who can't take the fact that the wrestling business isn't as clean as it's shown, like if UW's honesty with the management is killing their dreams of becoming wrestlers. Well I find this honesty of the Warrior refreshing and I can't wait to read the conclusion.

I think it's all about Warrior being a hypocrite. If you honestly think him "telling the truth" as he puts it, isn't such you're just as dumb as he is. I'm not a hardcore wrestling fan, but I am a fan. I realize what the world of wrestling can do, I've read the books and shoot interviews. I've heard people down the industry, and if they didn't achieve much I would be able to let it pass. But Warrior here made a lot of money, and gained a lot of noteriety with wrestling. Why would he change his name to his former wrestling name (Warrior) if he dislikes the business so much? Why would his promotion for any event be that he's a former pro wrestler, if the business isn't worth being in? And why would Warrior return to the ring from time to time if wrestling is beneath him? Oh yeah, he still needs money. I would be able to stomach what Warrior has to say, but for him to kick the hand connected to the man that fed him when he had NOTHING (Vince) is just plain stupid. Weather or not you respect the man, you owe him a small debt of gratitude for him making you, giving you a life. Without Vince, there would have been no Warrior, as he would have just sunk into the nothing world of the indy leagues (as he has been for years). I'm not saying he has to kiss Vinces ass, but just to show a little bit of gratitude to the business that made him and paid him is what a real man would do. Warrior, isn't even close to being that.

Warrior, you're still a no good loser.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the first three insallments of this interview and am eagerly awaiting the fourth and final part. Warrior's style of no bullshit, straight talking is not to everybody's liking but I find it a refreshing alternative to the over sensitive, over political correctness we have becom accustomed to in recent years. As for the non-thinkers who, as usual, are so quick to bash Warrior both for what he was and what he has become please take the time to attempt to grow a brain. Failing that simply boil your heads. Always Believe.

PS. Happy Birthday Warrior!

Well, I've never been a fan of the "Ultimate Warrior" character. When he was a part of Vince McMahon's WWE, it was an absolute joke.

He couldn't wrestle, and he definitely couldn't cut a decent promo if his life depended on it.

In other words: He was useless!

I don't remember reading anything about "Warrior" being a big draw in the wrestling business.

The last I recall; Vince McMahon basically had to BEG Hogan to come back to save his company from the damage done to it by having Warrior as WWE Champion.

I truly believe that "Warrior" is upset because he isn't involved in the business in any way, shape or form.

What a shame.

Hey Flynnie congrats on the warrior interview, very well done Maury turned me on to it. My favorite wrestler however was "Superfly" Snuka any chance you'll be speaking to him soon? P.S. only reason Pistons have "stud" B. Wallace is the horrorshow in Boston formerley known as Celtic Pride!

So far, all the Warrior detractors have put forth pathetic arguments:

"Warrior, you're still a no good loser."

Ha, whereas you are a successful winner in comparison, right? Look, your whole argument before that statement is worthless. Vince Mcmahon lied in court, tried to steal Warrior's intellectual property, and yet you feel Warrior should "show a little bit of gratitude" towards this man. You think Vince made Warrior champ out of the kindness of his heart? Warrior was over with the fans, that's why he got Vince's attention. It was all business. Any good relationship they might have had was ruined by Vince's lies. Why is that so hard to understand? You people think Warrior had no talent, that everything was handed to him, that Vince "chose" him out of the masses like a benevolent god, and that Warrior is just acting like a baby now. Why do you think that? Where is the evidence? Don't you think that Warrior, as the creator of the "Ultimate Warrior", had a lot more to do with his success than Vince, a promoter who simply tried to do what was best for the business? Man, you guys just don't get it.

"I don't remember reading anything about "Warrior" being a big draw in the wrestling business."

Well then, you obviously don't know anything about the wrestling business. 60,000 fans didn't attend Wrestlemania 6 to watch Hogan v. a nobody; they came to see the two biggest superstars in the world at that time. The WWF didn't sell truckloads of Ultimate Warrior merchandise because Warrior was a nobody. WCW Nitro didn't draw the biggest ratings upon Warrior's return because he was a nobody. C'mon, if you won't even acknowlegde simple facts, what chance do you have of making a logical argument?

Wake up Warrior haters! You have no logic, and it's obvious your hatred is pathological.

Ooooooh, so that's what a STINKY LIBERAL is!
It feels so good to know ANYTHING with such certainty: like, for example, what a stinky liberal is. You are so exposed. It gives me great pleasure to hate you.
anyway, this goes out to all the warriors or should I say human beings - that might be a little clearer for the cockaroaches to understand.
I can't wait for all the stinky liberals to burn in hell.

This was an excellent interview. I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end. Yes, I read part four as I could not wait until tomorrow. I'm just glad I did not have to transcribe the phone interview. That's a lot of work and I greatly appreciate it.

Ultimate Warrior, your style is one of a kind and I admire that so much. You are a true legend and no one can ever copy your style. Your legacy lives on. And Warrior, remember what you said about your doubters. (Especially one who posted in this section.) "You must show no mercy nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you, for your greatness will silence them all."

I would have turned down the chance to meet him, I wasn't a Warrior fan. BTW, if Vince doesn't want you to have the title, you won't get it, no matter what the fans think. As for him drawing, you can place that with Hogan, as over the years (even after WM6) Hogan still had the fans while Warrior lost most of his. There still a few out there (as shown by the comments) but those people seem about a dumb as the Warrior is.

All you haters can say what you want, but I don't hear of any comeback rumors for the washed up Hulkster. Warrior has been gone from wrestling for six years, and promoters STILL to this day can't stop saying his name.

All you punk losers are knocking the Warrior because he did in a short time what most of their favorite wrestlers could not do in years. Warrior is a true winner. See, it's like when Dale Earnhardt was winning all those races for all those years, and a lot of people booed him... not everybody loves a winner.

Some people can't stand facts.

Decent interview. It's nice that he's found a calling outside wrestling. I do, however, find fault with a majority of his views. Fortunately, I'm not of the mind to lash out at everyone that doesn't share my opinions. I'm an asshole 24/7, not just when someone disagrees with me.

That said, I must admit that I'm surprised at all the heated "discussion" over his wrestling career. Sure, Warrior was successful in the ring, but as fans should know, success in wrestling rarely has anything to do with greatness. Warrior simply fit McMahon's ideal image of a star. It didn't matter that his in-ring work was boring and his mic skills were dull. Those things have never mattered in the WWF/E. Fact is, he was booked to be successful, and the sheep in the audience followed orders. No one with an educated opinion on the business ever thought he was all that great. Anyone who read the sheets at the time knows this. McMahon had to milk the cow as hard and as fast as possible, because a one-dimensional gimmick like The Ultimate Warrior is doomed to burn out fairly quick. Throw in that self-righteous attitude of his, and that's why the Warrior came and went so fast. The Ultimate Warrior was the original Goldberg. Successful? Yes. Great? Hardly. A push that big, that early on, only breeds ego-maniacs.

great questions, great answers. I liked hearing the warrior speak more naturally than he does on his own site. i'm guessing this interview was conducted orally and transcribed? more concise and fluid than the warriors usual pontifications.

bottom line, this interview shedded some light on what a burden it is to be..... ULTIMATE!

and i totally identify!
