'''The [[Ultimate Warrior]]''' is one of the most famous names of [[Professional Wrestling]] from the late 80s and early 90s. He is best-known for his appearances in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] in the late 80s and early 90s, where he had a famous match at [[Wrestlemania]] VI defeating [[Hulk Hogan]] for the WWE Championship. Back then he was seen as the next big legend of wrestling, the next Hogan, so to speak.
Unfortunately now, he's more infamous for being a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], having legally changed his name from Jim Hellwig to Warrior in order to use it outside the WWE, his short-lived [[Warrior (Comic Book)|comic book]] containing bizarre imagery and walls of text (which was featured on [[The Spoony Experiment]] and [[Atop the Fourth Wall]]), his disastrous run in [[WCW]] in the late 90s, again feuding with Hogan in what is now seen as one of the worst pay-per-view matches in the history of pro wrestling, and his nonsensical promos (such as the one above).
He has an outside career as a conservative lecturer. [http://www.ultimatewarrior.com/Media/FullBlownPostsandComm/WarrioronQueerStudies.html Yes, really]{{Dead link}}. Hence, you can call him "[[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Professor Warrior]]".
As usual, [[That Other Wiki]] has a complete rundown [[wikipedia:Warrior (wrestler)|on the Warrior's career.]]

* [[Angrish]]: Seriously, listen to ANY of his interviews and try to wonder what the hell he is saying.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: In [[Real Life]], [[Vince McMahon]]. In [[Kayfabe]], [[The Spoony Experiment|HOAK]] [[Hulk Hogan|HOGAN!!]]
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
** His very first appearance on WCW. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] depending on whether you saw it on TV or live: Eric Bischoff claimed that the ratings slowly went down during that segment, but Warrior got some deafening pops every time he opened his mouth.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: During his promo quoted above, Warrior kept motioning his arms as if he was doing pelvic thrusts at the camera. Between that and his talks of how he would "keep coming" and would "swell" really big, it sounded really bad. Whether he wanted it to or not, the promo makes it sounds like he's describing how he gets an erection.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: He legally changed his name to "Warrior".
* [[Expy]]: The Renegade in WCW in 1995. Eventually the WWE sent a cease-and-desist letter about stealing the Warrior's gimmick, and WCW eventually fired him once the real Warrior showed up.
** And not too much after that, Richard Williams, the man who played The Renegade, [[Critical Existence Failure|committed suicide]]... [[They Just Didn't Care|WCW aired a tribute where they called him]] "[[They Just Didn't Care|Rick]] '''[[They Just Didn't Care|Wilson]]'''"...
