[1990-11-23-WWF-The Main Event] Interview: Ultimate Warrior

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

In his weird Warrior way, he is almost human in this somber promo promising revenge on Savage.

[PeteF3]

Overwrought and not as good as the first promo, but still a vast improvement on his stuff earlier in the year. I'm not sure that Warrior's problems as company ace weren't inherent and unfixable, but having this feud come first, booked similarly, would have given him a much better start out of the gate. Would have been win-win, too, as Savage would have gotten out from under the suffocating Dusty feud.

Holy shit another good Warrior promo? What is the world coming to. This made me really look forward to the feud with Savage.

[Kevin Ridge]

Good promo by Warrior. When he rains in the craziness he’s not bad.

[garretta]

Excellent work here by Warrior. They've finally succeeded in making him relatable to the average fan, but it's too little too late.

 

If you'll notice, there's no paint at all on Warrior's face here. Maybe this look and attitude could have sustained him a bit longer if they'd thought of it beforehand. At the very least, they could have done the Hogan/Warrior Mania rematch they'd obviously been planning for a year, with Hogan getting his win back. Where that would have left Sarge or the Savage retirement angle I have no idea.

Another surprising (in a good way) Warrior promo. Where were these earlier in the year?
