Thank you Steve for putting this up. Warrior was always honest with what was on his mind, and most importantly he was honest, I miss him, but thankfully we have so much material to look back on and it is inspiring me all the time, R.I.P Warrior.
I am in tears .... I miss the guy never met him yet he has had such a huge impact in my life. Thanks Steve for posting🙏🏼💪🏼
That was filmed in Warrior's Barn for anyone wondering. Warrior had a home gym as well his his local Anytime Fitness. Our best conversations were from that barn, 4am LOL!

WARRIOR MAY HAVE PASSED, BUT HE COMES TO LIFE WHEN WE PRESS PLAY! RIP
I like the fact that he is apparently recording this during a thunderstorm.
I’ve never seen Warrior so calm and down to earth. Fantastic video.

Look up Warrior's Injections of Inspiration videos on youtube. There's one called "classic"; which is also pretty laid back.
For some reason hearing the storm raging in the background seems very fitting here.
If people only new , RIP WARRIOR
Dang. It me hard when he said there is no guarantee that he won't get a heart attack.
I wish I knew about this page and "Warrior University" back when he was alive. 😞
Warrior has his guard down here.......very rare to see.
people need to spend about an hour a day meditating and reflecting on what they've done with theirselves and what they've done to others and how they've conducted theirselves. if you'll do that you'll begin to unlock who you really are and what you really are and what it means and what you want to do.

Thank you so much for releasing these videos! Warrior became my life mentor a long time ago. I carry him in my actions and my heart always. I was a subscriber and a "start" member and would've stuck with him no matter what. This planet could use some UW right now.
So sad losing warrior. He seemed fit and healthy

He was in really good shape around 2010-2013 or so. You could visually see right before he died that something had gone badly wrong with his health in a very short period of time. From looking at him on Raw the day before he died, I would go as far as saying it looked likely that he had already begun some major heart-related issue and was already suffering whilst he was at the show. I think the family knew that he was seriously unwell but kept it private, as was their absolute right.

@@fuzzluvver69 You really have to wonder if he knew something was wrong for quite some time and he (perhaps) reached out to Vince and said "If you want to induct me, you better do it now because I dont have much time".
I moved to Albuquerque for school in 2013 and I knew Warrior lived near Santa Fe. I hoped run to meet him, but he passed

Man I love how he himself was as big of a fan of the character as we are haha.
The one thing he fails to understand is he asked people for money in exchange for videos and correspondence. He failed to deliver, so paying customers deserve an explanation as to why they're not getting what they paid for. Outside of that, I'm glad he gave people what they paid for the following month.

Yeah that was the issue at the time. Taking a step aside is cool and untestable but you can’t take peoples money and be a ghost for that time and then act like they had an unrealistic expectation. Because had he simply immediately came out and told his customers that he was pausing things and not taking their money due to unforeseen circumstances and would resume once he could provide what he’d promised I doubt anybody would’ve been upset with that. The way he didn’t seem to consider that would’ve been problematic.
I never knew him as a wrestler until just recently. Only heard of his name before. However, it be REALLY enjoyed watching so many of his videos and the documentary of him. He was definitely an intense dude, but love his message.
I remember considering paying for a premium sub for this content on the site. Then all of a sudden...crickets. Thanks for the inside story.

The Warrior U website started out good but went silent out of nowhere for a bit, then he popped back up with this video.

To irritate him was not a good feeling, he expected you to act accordingly. But he also was always was constantly testing you honesty, loyalty. Guy lived on four hours sleep a day.

if you have other Warrior videos (interviews and speechs), that would be cool, thank you!

This is why you have to respect Warrior. What a thoughtful and honest man he was and I'm so sick of the internet trope of bashing him. Whether you agree with everything he has said or done in the past, who else in the wrestling business ever had this much honesty, intelligence and integrity. I wish Jim was still in the world with his family.
Great video. Watch this to the end. Its worth it.

You said you miss his passion and common sense. But that you didn’t agree with his politics. His common sense was the bedrock of his political views. I completely agreed with his politics, but more importantly, I shared his passion for the greatness of what our country is supposed to be as envisioned by our founding fathers. And for the passion of traditions and hard work that made our country. As well as the sacrifice our founders endured to free the people of tyranny. Yep. Common sense and intensity fueled everything about him including his political views.

That's bs he left WWF because he didn't need the money. He was fired for holding up Vince for money threatening to no show. Then fired again for no showing up. Also it's ridiculous he would have a wrestling school, he only knew a handful of moves. He wasn't hired for his great wrestling skills, he was hired because of the body he had from steroids.
