Loss Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I honestly didn't remember them teasing a Hogan/Warrior confrontation prior to the Royal Rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Warrior mentions "28 men" and Okerlund clairvoyantly surmises that the guy he left out was Hogan. Nope, I don't remember a Hogan/Warrior build either, though I guess it should have been fairly obvious in hindsight. Warrior closes out with threats for Earthquake and Bravo and threatens to more or less assimilate Bravo's power, Borg-style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I thought Warriors analogies worked well here especially the writing of the wall for the history books one for Hogan. Will be interesting to see if as this program advances if Warriors mic work is above average because the only promo I can recall off hand is the completely bonkers one from Wrestlemania in the locker room.

Kevin Ridge Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Warrior talks about 28 normal beings and guys who have no shot at winning. Warrior and Hogan are the two special beings in the Rumble. I had though them matching up the Rumble was a random type thing. But they are really building up Hogan/Warrior beforehand.

Cox Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Typical crazy Warrior promo, with Warrior firing his first shots towards Hogan's direction after Hogan had mentioned him on The Brother Love Show. I guess it's Wrestlemania Season already in the WWF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Like everyone else, I'm surprised by this pre-Rumble build. I mean watching this, the showdown is expected -- takes something away from that moment I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Nope, not even time and weed can make me change my mind. I fucking hate the Ultimate Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Typical insane Warrior promo that lacks coherency. Warrior and Okerlund pretty much shit on everyone in the Rumble besides Hogan here. More foreshadowing of he confrontation at the Rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The seeds are set for Warrior/Hogan as Warrior steers his promo (well Gene does) towards Hogan at the end. Fun lunacy from the Warrior here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravJ1979 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I've decided, as a side project, to transcribe each Warrior promo in this set. Painful yes, but I have a feeling it will be rewarding in the end. I'll probably do two versions of each: What I "think" he said and what it "sounds" like he said. Have mercy on my soul.

garretta Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Warrior is at least somewhat coherent this week. I would have died laughing if Mean Gene had set up Warrior to talk about Hogan and he'd cut the rest of his promo on someone like Koko B. Ware (who was in the Rumble that year; he drew number two). One noticeable botch, and it came from Okerlund: he talks up the tag match from SNME as Hogan and Warrior taking on a common enemy, meaning Perfect and the Genius. But without clarifying that, he immediately leads Warrior into some final comments about Bravo and Earthquake. It wasn't a great big deal, really; they could have been teaming against the Conquistadors for all it mattered. But I'm surprised that Vince let it pass, especially since TV Guide had (correctly) listed Perfect and the Genius as their opponents. Why tease, even inadvertently, a match against Bravo and Quake that you weren't going to deliver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Warrior hunched over flexing next to Gene at the end is so unnatural and creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 If there was any sort of doubt after the Hulk Hogan interview on the Brother Love show, then it's clear after this that there is going to be some sort of confrontation between Hogan and the Warrior at the Royal Rumble. He didn't make much sense but talks about 28 mortal men, and the 29th man, Hulk Hogan, having a force built around him like no others that walk in the World Wrestling Federation.

dawho5 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Warrior brings something completely different to the table than anyone else at the time. Or pretty much ever if I think about it. It's not something I can appreciate all that much, but there is something to be said for being one of a kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Once more, I haven't got a clue what on Earth he's talking about. It's fun as a novelty but it really grates over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
