Reviewed on 2008-06-21 ultimate warrior review this was agood video-do not buy classic superstars of wrestling.my worst 50 dollars yet.i have about 15 wrestling videos.they are all good except this one.

Reviewed on 2008-05-04 If the Warrior were to write this review he would say... And so they speak through the sight of time and to hear the fowl scent of the only one left to speak the truth of the unknown ones. It is but the only one to exist in this form that we would truly be as one in the fountain of time. Observe the arm as it reaches forward to grasp the power of the warrior. It is the being that stands alone if it knew the truth of the value, the truth of the existence and the truth of mind over body over time. For the power of the warrior seeks the fuel of existence to only feel the combat of its own true being.

Reviewed on 2008-01-23 Incomplete As much of a big fan as I was of the Ultimate Warrior I had to give this DVD set a 2. First of all where is the Warrior's side of the story of what really happened in his career. All I heard was some of the guys that worked with him and even guys who were still in kindergarten who were flapping their gums. For the most part they were dissing on the Warrior left and right which makes him an easy target for the WWE. The WWE even talks about the warrior getting fired on 3 different occasions, such as Summer Slam of 1991 when Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior team up against Sgt. Slaughter, General Adnan and Col. Mustafa. The WWE's story was that the Warrior demanded more money or he wasn't going to show up for that match which was true but Vince McMahon says that it was like pointing a gun to his head. The real story was that the Warrior was owed money from Wrestle Mania 7 and that was the money he demanded. The second time was the following year which the WWE says that the Warrior failed a drug test, "a failed drug test?" Not to long ago they suspended 10 of their wrestlers for steroid use for about a week all separately and none of them got fired. Well anyway the real reason the Warrior got fired was a breach of contract. The final time was when the Warrior's father passed away which was true but the WWE made it sound like "the Warrior didn't care" and was only using it as an excuse so the Warrior wouldn't show up to his matches. I thought this set could have had more matches such as the match he had with Sgt. Slaughter at the Royal Rumble in 1991, which was more intense than the rematch that they had about 3 months later. How about the match he had with triple H at Wrestle Mania 12, which was highly anticipated. Even the match that he had with Jerry the King Lawler at the King of the Ring of 1996. I thought that this should have been a 3 disc set instead of 2. They didn't even include any of the promos that he did leading up to his matches even though nobody understood what he was saying they could have been added to a third disc. In my mind the Ultimate Warrior had a great career that was taken away from him because the wrestling business wanted to control him. Even to this day if the Ultimate Warrior were to come back to the WWE, he will be well recieved by the fans. The Warrior should one day be in the Hall of Fame for all of his accomplishments.

Reviewed on 2008-01-12 A Very Weak Effort Not Worth Its Price I bought this DVD release some years ago because I was a Warrior fan in the 1980's. This disc is not worth its price and the fact that it is only a 1 disc release shows what a shabby release it is from McMahon's usually great video department. The extras and matches on the DVD are few and add little value to the release. The matches are generally already available on other McMahon video releases. The main feature is about 90 minutes and is a collection on half truths and blatant lies. There is nothing in the main feature of this disc that you do not already know about the Warrior and that is not already written about for free on the internet. Warrior refused to participate in the making of this disc (he is currently in litigation over the disc against McMahon), so Vince McMahon decided to turn the disc into a slanderous hatchet job on the Warrior with Vince and his corporate toadies (Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Bruce Pritchard, et cetera) defaming the Warrior. Vince McMahon wanted to use this Warrior disc as a test to see if he could get away with lying about the careers and lives of wrestlers without getting sued, so Vince could put out similar releases on other former wrestlers he hates (Randy Savage, Brock Lesnar, Lex Luger, et cetera) and threaten Bret Hart to cooperate in the production of his DVD box set (the Bret box set was to be called "Screwed: The Bret Hart Story" if Hart had not cooperated in its making as Warrior refused to cooperate here). Yes, Jim Hellwig (Warrior) is a real life nut case and was not the greatest wrestler in the history of professional wrestling. No, Warrior was not just some ungrateful body builder who Vince McMahon found and turned into a superstar despite the lies to that effect that Vince and his flunkies spew in this DVD release (Warrior was a huge star in Texas before he decided to move to the big time of the WWF). No, Warrior did not leave Mid South Wrestling because it was too physically intense for him as Bill Watts / Vince McMahon boot licker Jim Ross lyingly says (Warrior left because Watts was cheating him on money and trying to take phyical liberties with him). Hearing Hogan and Bischoff lie and spin about Warrior's time in WCW (sure Warrior was not just brought in so Hogan could get his win back - wink, wink) was unintentional comedy gold (of course Renegade was not just a Warrior rip off designed to try to get Warior to come to WCW - wink, wink). McMahon is bitter at Warrior for Warrior beating McMahon in court multiple times. McMahon has broken verbal and written contracts with the Warrior on several occassions. Warrior now completely owns his own gimmick and has no need for Mcmahon, which drives McMahon crazy. If Warrior was such a flash in the pan and so worthless as this disc claims he was, then why did McMahon keep bringing Warrior back over and over again and why did McMahon bother making this DVD?

Reviewed on 2007-07-05 Should I Lay Down in the Lawn and Let Lawnmowers Run Over Me ??? This is a great movie and it was AWESOME to see warrior back in action :) I grew up watching him and loved his character ever since I first saw him like 20 years ago. Although this movie is more of a hit piece on him by the WWE - it's still really fun to watch :)
