Somehow the cartoonish Iraqi sympathizer was somehow so looney that, as an impressionable idiot just about to start high school at the time, I could handle it. In reality, his Joe deal ended just before he came back, with maybe a bit of overlap. His last cartoon appearance was the 1989 Dragonfire miniseries, his last action figure was I believe in that year or 1988, and his last appearances hyping the brand/toys in TV commercials were running in early 1990.

As a 13 year old I also didn't know that Warrior was stiff as hell and all of the other wrestlers hated him for how bad he was. I hated him as a kid and now I am vindicated because literally every big time wrestler from the era said Warrior was absolute crap and stiff.

I remember being so let down that he lost. I was underwhelmed with the rumble until Hogan came out and picked up the excitement again.

I always felt Warrior lost that night because he was in WWE’s doghouse. Complete year title reigns (winning the title at WrestleMania, losing it at WrestleMania the following year assuming you lost it at all and weren’t a multi year champion like Hogan) was pretty much the standard back then. Seeing someone lose the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble was quite uncommon at the time. Add to that he never regained it at any point in the immediate or distant future. Granted, it took the combined interference of Slaughter’s henchmen, Sherri, Savage and Slaughter himself to “beat” the Warrior as opposed to Slaughter simply winning clean (which Warrior would be unlikely to ever agree to) but in the end Warrior lost the WWE Championship shy of a one year run with it.

Sarge had a ton of heat during this angle. Didnt his family receive death threats?

According to Warrior that is why he wore the baseball cap when Lawyer hit him over the head with the painting in the glassed frame. Because Warrior said he had pieces of glass stuck in his head from Macho Man's scepter that had to be picked out.

Vince McMahon "screwed over" Sgt. Slaughter in 1985 (releasing him from the company), because Hasbro made Slaughter a lucrative offer, where they would use his image and likeness (owned by Sarge himself) for G.I. Joe cartoons and toys. Vince had an exclusive toy deal with LJN, and he refused to allow Slaughter to profit from his arrangment with Hasbro. By 1991, Slaughter had been wrestling for 19 years. He was actually a lot more "reliable" than the Ultimate Warrior was, even though Warrior drew a lot more money than Slaughter did. So, it was a balancing act. Vince was displeased with Warrior demanding to be paid as much as Hogan, so he made Warrior drop the strap to Sgt. Slaughter at Royal Rumble '91. I don't fault Sgt. Slaughter for taking the opportunity to make as much money as he could towards the end of his wrestling career.

I remember being shocked that Sgt. Slaughter won the title that day, and I thought there was a mistake made or something, because Warrior losing, and losing to a mid-carder like Slaughter was insane, I mean his GI Joe days were past and I thought he was in his late 50s because he looked so old, but in hindsight today they clearly made the best decision. The Warrior-Savage career ending match was fantastic (with Donald Trump in the front row) and how can you go wrong with Hulkamania and the red white and blue going defeating Slaughter and Iraq, but it had to be thrown together at the last minute, because they had Slaughter in the promotional materials holding Warriors purple championship belt, they didn't even sub that out for the regular black title belt that was used for everyone else throughout that era, and it really looks silly if you check out the poster for Wrestlemania VII. Everybody was expecting a re-match between Hogan and Warrior because there was no natural angle going into Rumble that could main event Mania, but most people were sick of Hogan by then and wanted Warrior to continue on as champ and move the company forward as the face of the company. But Vince knew best, as always.

Warrior’s run had tanked. Hence why the belt came off. Savvy?

@@jonharrison9222 I disagree. Everyone was gearing up for Warrior vs. Hogan the rematch in the Coliseum and the only match that could have filled the stadium, and instead it was 60 year old flabby dude from GI Joe vs. Hulk Hogan in a match which the ending was never in doubt, and had to be moved to the 17,000 seat dumpy sports arena next door.

How drunk is Bruce? Lol

Between that and how much ole vinny mac is working Bruce to death he’s ran a little too thin. I enjoyed the show better prior to him going back to Stamford, CT.

I completely agree with Bruce at the beginning of this. Obviously the ultimate warrior took steroids, I don’t think that’s what Bruce was trying to argue. The argument was, where the fuck does Dave Meltzer get off breaking somebody’s balls about shooting anabolic steroids? If Dave Meltzer had any more steroids running through him, he’d be bleeding out of his ears.

Sheik Tugboat reference! :)

Warrior. Come out and play-ee-yay.

Lmao Bruce sounded loaded and pissed 😡 off for about 86% of the interview lol does Dave and Brother love ever had the chance to shoot on each other lol 😂

Warrior was a serious bodybuilder a heart. They will experiment with the latest & greatest drug. GH was THE thing back then. Plus, GH could be prescribed back then and wasn't a felony to possess, unlike testosterone. I heard Warrior got in hot water over a steroid source getting popped in Europe so evidently he didn't have serious connections like one thought, at least for non-domestic anabolics.

Bruce is right!

Bruce is awesome 😂

LMAO.....Bruce is totally WASTED by this match!!!! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA * The 'Police Academy' poster for this is fn Awesome !
