[1990-06-02-WWF-Superstars] Ultimate Warrior promo

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Warrior will take Rude deeper into parts unknown than any other living thing. This may be the first step taken in attempting to humanize the Warrior a bit--the promo itself is just as blithering as ever but he's now wearing half of his normal facepaint and the other half is just a Warrior sign painted on the cheek. I think this is the "carnival facepaint" look that I believe was discussed on the 1990 preview podcast.

[Dooley]

Ah yes, the dreaded "humanization" of the Warrior. Is the appearance on Regis and Kathie Lee where he brings a teddy bear for Cody on the set?

[Loss]

Yeah, this was bad, as always. They were experimenting with Warrior's look here. He doesn't look like he would - he's kind of in this in-between place.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT IS THAT SHIT ON YOUR FACE?

[shoe]

Between Warrior promos, and Brother Love segments WWF filler in 90 is getting to me.

[Kevin Ridge]

I can’t understand Warrior due to audio. But it’s probably not any different than his normal promos.

[Cox]

Hey, Warrior gibberish. I did not miss this at all during my yearbook exile.

[garretta]

Now that Warrior's champion, he wants to set the standards that the rest of us normals will have to live by. Apparently, we're all supposed to speak in tongues, talk to our hands, and paint only half of our faces. Oh, and by the way, he's going to dispatch Rick Rude deeply into Parts Unknown.

 

It's almost unfair to call Warrior the idiot here; these promos simply have to be scripted, and the real mental midget is the one who thought this shit would actually sound like human speech and talked Vince into letting Warrior deliver it on national TV. He deserves a huge part of the blame for derailing Warrior's run at the top, and I sincerely hope that he can sleep at night. Warrior already had two strikes against him: being almost totally unathletic and not being Hulk Hogan. He didn't need to sound brainless to top things off. If Vince still employed this clown (the writer) after watching him help to destroy Warrior's career, he should be ashamed of himself. But then again, Vince has built his entire career on being utterly shameless, so why should he feel any in this case?

[GSR]

Between the crackly audio, Warrior’s hushed tones and speaking with his back to the camera I couldn’t hear the majority of this. I’m pretty sure that was for the better!
