[1996-06-24-WWF-Raw] Ultimate Warrior commercial

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

The first of quite a few Warrior ads around this time. In this one, a guy is working out while the announcer talks about unleashing the warrior inside of you, while a guy in a wheelchair works out. You don't realize he's in a wheelchair until the end of the commercial.

This is in bad taste especially when you read in Bret Harts book about Warrior and the Make a Wish kid.

[Kronos]

Perhaps it's an attempt to escape from rumors of his being a jerk?

 

Anyway, it's pretty silly. But it would have been worse if Warrior appeared at the end.

What's the Warrior/Make-A-Wish Kid story?

What's the Warrior/Make-A-Wish Kid story?

IIRC, Bret writes about how there was this Wish kid backstage at some show, whose dream was to meet Warrior. UW, being the self-absorbed asshole he is (so says Bret), blew right past the kid -- taking no time at all to say hello or otherwise give him his wish for a short conversation.

Worse, I think Warrior said something like "Don't bother me with this kid. I'm getting ready for my fucking match."

Warrior inspires us all.

[Exposer]

Goofy commercial. These Warrior ads will be some of the last things we see or here of him before his third depature.

Garbage.  Not the idea that a guy in a wheelchair can still have fire and do well for himself.  The fact that we are associating this with Warrior.
