Before reaching high status to become a main eventer in the WWE, Warrior became popular when he became a two-time Intercontinental Champion by defeating the Honky Tonk Man (Roy Farris) (within 32 seconds at the first ever Summerslam in 1988) and Ravishing Rick Rude.

 Ultimate Warrior Double DVD - Highspots.com
Hogan rips on Warrior in some odd ways but, in a refreshing moment of frankness, takes some of the blame for their cluster at Hallowe'en Havoc.
I don't doubt for a moment that the objective truth remains: Warrior was selfish, not a great wrestler and a bit mad.
He could have worked harder on his wrestling and been a multi time world champ, but the fact that he no showed, was clumsy in the ring, and so absorbed with himself, shows that he was a flash in the pan.

 Review: Ultimate Warrior DVD - Ex Isle Forums
Wrestling fans from the early 1990s will remember the phenomenon of the Ultimate Warrior, a wrestler who would come out with a driving guitar theme, painted face, and rope-shaking maniacism.
The years have not been kind to the Warrior, he legally changed his name to "The Warrior", and is not beloved by his fellow wrestlers.
Sure, the Warrior missed a lot of dates (a no-no for any professional wrestler), and pissed off a lot of people, but this DVD is an insult to fans who want to know more about him.

 Former WWE Wrestler Getting Married, Ultimate Warrior-WWE
The former WWE Champion recently declined to be a part of the DVD “The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior.” The DVD, which promises to be one of the most controversial releases ever, features many former and current WWE Superstars talking about Warrior in a negative light.
With recent reports stating that the DVD is a complete burrial of the former World Wrestling Federation Champion, it should be very interesting to hear whether or not Warrior accepts their offer.
Warrior posted a very long commentary on his website back in July responding to reports that WWE was producing a negative DVD about his career.
