On WWE's Invitation to Appear on Byte This: "Of course, I do NOT accept this brainless, disgraceful invitation. FUCK NO, I do not. You can rescue yourself, Vince. Do your own damage control. I've no ear for your begging anymore. Only if you were on fire would I help you -- it'd just be too hard to resist pissing on you. Open mic? Then let it truly be open. Let your audience have some fresh air. Flush the toliet bowl once. Let them hear something intelligent, decent and truthful for once. Give them, Vince, what they want -- just like you are always bragging the WWE does. Let them be proud for just a few moments that the energetic, intense and colorful Ultimate Warrior persona they loved when they were little kids didn't become a self-pitying, disappointing, broken-down has-been like all the other brittle-minded skeletons traipsing around your locker rooms or now buried in forgotten about graves. Order the queer (Todd Grisham) and the cripple (Droz) who host the show to read what I have written here, and while they do that have them hold up mirrors looking at themselves so they can know exactly the kind of people in your organization I'm writing about. No apologies -- I don't discriminate for the handicapped who sign on to behave degenerately."

On Vince McMahon's Claims That He Couldn't Wait To Fire Warrior: "What I think you meant to say, Vince, was “hire,” not “fire”: “I couldn’t wait to hire his ass.” I worked for the WWF on three separate occasions and you fired me only once and that was in ‘92 using Davey Boy and I as scapegoats in an attempt to throw the feds off your own scandal-brewing steroid trail. And every time I left, you’d track me down and come begging to bring me back. Never once did I call you or anybody else from the WWF to come back -- you ALWAYS came to me. Even one time sending Ed Cohen to hunt me down in the backwoods of NM at 4:30 am -- this was after you suspended me in ‘91. When you found me, you would always show up with two things. One, your stupid, superficial question “Don’t you miss the celebrity and limelight?” and, two, a goodie bag carrying a fat check to assuage your guilt and fault for letting me get out the door to begin with. You were a spoiled little kid even back then. You always had to learn the truth about me the hard way: “Damn, that guy really does do what he says he will do.”

On Vince McMahon's claim that Warrior held WWF up for money: "...you got that wrong, too. Of course, it’s a fantasy you’ve created, so that makes it true in your twisted mind. There was an issue about a Wrestlemania 7 payoff, but the strong-arming being done was by you and your conniving financial thug at the time, Doug Sages, not me. Instead of being straightforward with me about what the payoff was going to be, you kept dragging out avoiding any discussion about it while Sages unethically concocted a counterfeit loan to me, which I knew nothing about till much later, say, around Summerslam time. How coincidental. When I called you on it, you duplicitously scribbled down and rushed me a letter praising me for my contributions to the company, my one-of-a-kind work ethic, and that you were proud to have me not just as a talent but know me as a friend -- and, then, Surprise! you pulled a 180 on me and courageously suspended me after the ‘91 Summerslam match by handing me a tough, condescending letter. You expected me to drop to my knees right then and lick one of the three balls you claimed you had, begging you to take me back, right there in that MSG locker room, right there in front of your adulterous ball licker at the time, Mrs. Emily Feinburg, (so you could show her, I guess, how big a man you were), but I told you that Emily was the one good at it and you wouldn’t be seeing me for quite some time. I didn’t lie. I got my bags, went to AZ, moved to NM and left you ill with worry about where I was. “Where’s MY Warrior?’ you boohooed for months. It is a flat-out Wizard of OZ fantasy that I ever held you or WWF up for money."

Responding to Triple H's comment that Warrior was the most unprofessional wrestler Triple H was ever in the ring with: "I’m the most unprofessional person you’ve ever stepped into the ring with? Well, now, ain’t that pretty. Because what I remember, Mr. Stephanie McMahon, is that you were only in the ring with me one time -- and for less than 5 minutes. Here all these years since leaving the ring and becoming interested in mentoring young people, I often wonder what kind of impact I am having because I take it seriously and it is important to me do it effectively. Well, it sure sounds like I taught you very well in the 5 minutes you had in the ring with me. Because from what I hear you are the biggest unprofessional asshole the business has ever seen. You are welcome."

More On Triple H: "Yes, Paul, sorrily, your whole career has been a mission to outdo Ultimate Warrior. But guess what little, puffy man? You failed. Oh, how you failed. I set an iconic standard none of you could reach. And you are bitter about it. So bitter. You all are. Indeed, it is this bitterness that you most have in common with your father-in-law. In fact, he recognized the depth of it in you and knew if something ever happened to him you would continue the mission to fulfill HIS vendetta. To secure it, he gave you his daughter. But he must be a little concerned, because it seems the only masculinity you can drum up is while you are hanging onto her booking skirt. You know, think about it. If I hadn’t been smitten with my own honey at the time and Vince would have been more sensible, he might have hired me to become his son-in-law. You know, the Original Ultimate Warrior, not a dismal imitation. On second thought, I had strong self confidence and Vince never felt sorry for me as he evidently does for you."

On Bobby Heenan: "it’s just too difficult to keep a straight face talking about the pure two-faced bag of shit you are (and have always been), what, with you also actually wearing one as a piece of body jewelry. You are dying, diseased on the inside, and no more time is left to get back any of the integrity that matters the most on death’s bed. Imagine what it will be like, lying there taking in your last breaths, knowing you whored yourself out your whole life, and had to, in your final years, be faced with emptying your own personal shit bag affirming to you the true value of what you achieved in your life. Not even Vince could come up with a better finish than this. Karma is just a beautiful thing to behold."

On Jim Ross: "Everyone is asking the same question: “Just when did Jim Ross get to know Warrior so well to have these endless opinions about him that he does?” All anyone can think of, largely because it is so apparent across the board throughout the entire DVD, is that, again, envy alone provides you (and everyone else for that matter) with the enlightenment and answers. You are obviously jealous of both the fact that I never let Vince have his way with me as he has with you and everyone else and, also, that you never had the chance to bend me over either since becoming the Mother Hen over the talent around about ‘96 when I was last there."

On Plans to Respond to the WWE's DVD Legally: "Of course, about whether or not there is any legitimate slander, I will hold off and legally find out. But it really is a great cultural illustration of how deviantly dumbed down mentoring and masculinity have become. And, interestingly enough, engaging these serious ideas is what propels me in the career interests I have today."

On WWE's Current Stars Ridiculing him on the DVD: "I am always conscious of giving you young guys a break whenever I express criticisms about the storylines and creative direction in the business. I figure you are dumb and naive and still figuring out your philosophy of life, so I am not as hard on you for your youthful behaviors. Maybe one day you'll come around. Maybe not and you’ll just turn out like all the other grown men who are letting you down. We will all see. But you’ll want to keep in mind, that I stand up and defend my integrity in person just as seriously as I do when I write about it. It’s not a work. And it’d be to your misfortune if I was traveling through some airport in this country one day and happened to see you standing there surrounded by little sexpot groupies and adoring fans, and I just took it upon myself to approach you, not to pick a fight but to ask you to explain your ridicule of me, and suddenly you couldn’t speak and started to go to the bathroom all over yourself. Let me tell you from my own life experiences, there’s nothing so intimidating and embarrassing as another human being who can kick your ass with their mind. Take it from a guy who made quite a success out of throwing his muscle around, and learned this lesson the hard way."

"Because, you see, I am sorta old-fashioned about many things. One of those things is that a person should never be afraid to defend their integrity, especially when they have it. I do. And another thing is that young people should have both manners and respect for their elders, especially when they are deserving of it. I am. So, when you disrespect me, you leave me with no other choice, being the grown, adult man I am, but to embarrass you like a childish fool if I was to cross paths with you. And if you thought Ultimate Warrior as a physical thing was so intense it made you an awe-struck, speechless kid, you’re not going to be any less awe-struck and speechless when I give you a piece of my mind with the same kind of intensity."

Insulting Droz is a bit cold, and I'm only 5 sentences into it. He makes a good point though, about giving fans what they really want.

He gains points for calling Todd a queer. :) And insulting HHH. "Mr. Stephanie McMahon"... awesome.

Edit: He loses the points he gained with the tasteless comments regarding Bobby Heenan.

Yeah, I wasn't too crazy about the Droz and Heenan remarks, but I was laughing my ass off at the Triple H remarks.

He has a point about Triple H, too. HHH calling Warrior unprofessional is the pot calling the kettle black.

It's like that time in 2002 when Triple H lectured the Raw roster that they all need to "learn how to work." He told them all they should spend less time playing video games and spend more time watching classic wrestling footage. He told this to a group of people that included Ric Flair, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and William Regal. This was also just a few weeks after Triple H delivered a DUD match with Undertaker at KOTR.

So Triple H really doesn't have a great sense of reality. The more people who call him on it, the more amused I get.

Outside of about 3 or 4 comments, which consists of tasteless insults, Warrior does make a few good points.

Vince is a shithead who doesn't care about the fans, HHH is a hypocrite bastard, and when did JR get to know Warrior? JR was employed after Warriors first 2 runs, and was hardly around for Warriors 3 month run in 1996.

He has a right to be upset, but those Droz and Heenan comments are flat-out cruel.

The part about "you could've hired me to be your son-in-law" is more than a little creepy. Maybe I'm filling in the blanks too much, but Stephanie was about 12, then.

But I was more shocked to hear that WWE is actually putting this DVD out. It's an uncalled-for attack on a wacko. I doubt that the NFL would put out a DVD titled "Biggest Losers of the Gridiron-- with Brian Bosworth, Tony Mandarich and Bill Romanowski"

Or how about MLB's biggest brotherly flops, starring Billy Ripken, Jeremy Giambi, and Ozzie Canseco?

Well, of course he wouldn't appear on BYTE this. Who the fuck would expect him to? Also, isn't nice to see that Warrior isn't a self pitying, disappointing, broken down has been. He's managed to be a bigoted, self rightous, fuck ass, who's completely lost his mind. Way to go "Warrior". By the way, way to play on your ignorance and homophobia by bad mouthing a cripple and when you couldn't think of a clever retort to throw back at Grisham........you called him GAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH........wow, he really got him.

Wow, a bickering game like a twelve year old. Hmmmm. I couldn't care less if the Warrior was fired or quit........apparently though 13 years later.......it still bothers the Warrior though. Plus, we all know Vince......if Warror would have equated to money..........he WOULD have been brought back countless times and they wouldn't have let him go repeatedly.

Yeah great, wrestlers lie and wrestling promotors are scumbags. Thank you Captain Obvious.

Well, I guess Triple H learned from the best. If Warrior is mentoring young people about anything those parents need to be killed off immediately.

Now I'm confused. Is he jealous about Triple H getting with Stephanie because Warrior had the hots for her when she was 12? Oh, wait..........he's just bitter. I'm sorry, I forgot about that.

One thing, fuck you Warrior. I'm sure all the good things about Heenan that I've heard from EVERYONE THAT HE'S EVER WORKED WITH were lies and you are telling the truth. He is right about one thing though.....Karma IS a beautiful thing to behold. Warrior will find that out first hand when his years of steriod abuse come back to haunt him when he'll need to replace the majority of his bones just to be able to wipe his own ass.

Yep. I could always see how much Jim Ross envied UW. What a fucking moron.

This translates to....................I found a way to beat the WWE in court.........I'll try it again!

Dear Warrior, at the risk of getting your ass kicked you won't say shit to anyone. Thank you.

How exactly would he embarass someone? By maybe showing them a mocking DVD of the only claim to fame that they've ever had that just so happens to be their wrestling career? Oh, wait..........they've only released one of them about Warrior so I guess he couldn't do that?

This is speculation, but I bet the origin of this dvd was something like this...

Vince: Hey, let's make some money off of an Ultimate Warrior dvd. We'll call it "Warrior: The Undying Legend."

Suck-up: Great idea, Mr. McMahon.

Vince: Call up the Warrior and ask him to come down and shoot some interviews for it.

Suck-up: Great idea, Mr. McMahon.


::Two days later::

Suck-up: Mr. McMahon, Warrior is refusing to participate with the dvd.

Vince: Even after I offered him Daniel Puder's money?

Suck-up: Yes, Mr. McMahon.

Vince: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! That's it, now the dvd is called "The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior." We'll show him what happens when you don't do everything I say.

Suck-up: Great idea, Mr. McMahon.

Wait...wait...this coming from a man who's legal name is "Warrior" because he wanted to try to get the copyrights to his ring name? Who is he to say what karma is? Fuck him for his comments on Heenan.

Damn fun read that was.

I just watched Hogan, Vince/Linda, and Austin in Donnie Deutschbag on CNBC. Only real memorable points were Vince's 2 remarks of note:

Donnie asks about Muhammad Hassan, and why they chose to remove him from programming. Vince says this wasn't really about the direction, it was more a case of the performer playing the role not getting the job done. Thats one hell of a shot that Vince takes at a guy who I thought did a great job with the character (but not in the ring, mind you.)

Donnie asks Vince about Forbes' estimate of 700 million net worth, and Vince has the balls to say that what he does isn't about the money, it is about the passion for the business and what they do creatively.

I almost puked up my balls when he said that.

Listening to what Vince says when he's on non-WWE programming is always a gas.

Vince is almost a cartoon character at this point.

Can someone explain the Bob Costas interview from 2001? I forget, but I remember everyone making fun of it.

My memory is kinda fuzzy, but I seem to remember Vince almost starting a fist fight with Costa over Costa calling Vince out on a bunch of shit.

Taken from another website crediting wrestleview.com...

"Anabolic Warrior." That is going into my "insulting names to use" list for my tape reviews.

I wish I could say this is all one big set-up to hype the video, but I know considering Warrior and McMahon, it's not. ...Making this even more sad. A DVD where Warrior doesn't even have an interview in it, and there's hardly any matches on it.

Who would want matches of Warrior? No offense to him (:P), but he's had maybe 5 good matches in his run with WWF, and all of them with Randy Savage and Rick Rude (and the Hulk Hogan carryjob at WM 6).

You know, I'd expect stupidity like this from the Warrior. But when a major corporation starts playing shit like that, I'm a little disappointed.

The really pathetic part of this is that you can make a really good case for both sides. Ultimate Warrior is an insane asshole, and Vince McMahon will exploit anyone for money and is a giant asshole too. So you really can't win, in the WWE. Maybe that should be their slogan.

Please, let the children have their fun. It's entertaining.

Vince: WARRIOR ROBBED ME! I HATE HIS GUTS!

Warrior: Believe in Destrucity and Warrior Wisdom! (snort)

And let me guess - those are the ones on the DVD, right?

Yes and No. They stuck on the horrible cage match from SummerSlam, the Honky Squash, and his Debut v. Terry Gibbs, along with the Hogan match and WM VII Retirement.

Such a strange combination of matches. They've already buried Warrior, so why try to bury him on DVD that not many people seem to care about?
