I’ve Never Seen a Wrestler With Less Ability Than The Ultimate Warrior – WWE Hall of Famer Makes a Huge Statement

The Ultimate Warrior isn’t just a name in the wrestling industry. It’s a name that brings back memories for fans, authorities, and critics of the industry. One such individual who has recently passed his remarks about The Warrior is Jim Ross.

Ross is working with AEW at the moment, but previously, he has been associated with WWE and UWF. In the episode revolving around The Ultimate Warrior by Dark Side of the Ring, Ross revealed that he did not have a good impression about Warrior’s abilities as a wrestler.

“When The Blade Runners came to UWF, I was the broadcaster. I’ve never met or seen a wrestler with less ability than The Ultimate Warrior. Hellwig [Jim Hellwig, Warrior’s real name] was very narcissistic. ‘I look this good, I got a great smile, I have wonderful teeth. What more could a promoter want?’ Well, I don’t know, maybe could you wrestle?” H/t Sportskeeda

Warrior and Sting (Steve Borden) were tag team partners at UWF during March and June 1986.

Even though The Ultimate Warrior made a name for himself, it is strongly believed he couldn’t separate his actual life from his in-ring character.

Vince McMahon revealed his opinion about The Ultimate Warrior

WWE’s main man spoke about how The Warrior viewed Vince McMahon as a father. Now, this is a time to note that several Superstars view McMahon as a father-figure, but they know the boundaries.

The Ultimate Warrior did not think their relationship mirrored a father-son relation, but it was one. McMahon disagreed, and he revealed that Warrior was never his son, and he has only one son.

Apart from this, Vince McMahon had to take strict actions against The Warrior.

It so happened that The Warrior had started demanding more pay, and he announced he wouldn’t participate in a match if he did not get paid the same amount as Hulk Hogan.

McMahon realized it was time to show him who is boss, and cut a segment. In that, he handed over a letter to Warrior and said he will never be as good a wrestler as Hulk Hogan in any shape or form. Following this, he suspended Warrior.
