R.I.P. Ultimate Warrior

[Capetan Mihali]

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but Ultimate Warrior had by far the best promo videos.  They just plain unnerved me as a lad:  the stream of consciousness, invocation of "the gods," vague challenges to make extreme sacrifices and/or crash a plane -- it was a bit too heady for my disposition.  But coming back to them on YouTube as an adult has been great.

Ah, apologies. I took your post to be genuine disgust for the performer himself.

My disgust is reserved for the entertainment, not the entertainer.

Man, in the late 90's when I was working nights, Monday night wrestling was about the only thing that kept us sane.

Sure we could have worked, but we'd rather watch Kevin Nash toss small Mexicans into trailers.

NWO FUCKERS

I am trying to imagine a job so shitty that watching "professional" wrestling would be a better alternative.  My imagination fails.  Sorry you had to go through that.

That was because the guy was half crazy. Later he branched out to motivational speaking and paleoconservatism ranting.
