Anyone else a little disturbed by the Warrior worship on here as of late?

[Wacky D]

Warrior was before my time so I didn't have the level of attachment that most others here had. Warrior is the type of wrestler I probably would have been a mark for as a kid but after watching him as an adult on the WWE Network (for only $9.99 a month ) I was left underwhelmed.
And his in ring skills were

. The WWE heavily revising his legacy has been .

nah. you just had to be there.
you didn't have to be a kid at all. warrior got the rowdiest pops, and seemed to be the favored pick over Hogan by the older WWF crowd. he was like the SEGA to Hogan's Nintendo. and don't even get me started on the ladies.

and the WWF back in those glory days wasn't predicated on ring skills. hell, the majority of the WWF's legacy isn't, if we're being real.
and back then specifically, it was more about the showmanship, ring presence, and the larger-than-life atmosphere. the warrior embodied all of that.

if you didn't like the warrior, then the whole mid '80s thru early '90s WWF just isn't for you.
when you were in the mood for great in-ring wrestling back then, you watched TBS or maybe something else.
the WWF was more about the spectacle. it was WAY WAY MORE Hogan/andre rather than savage/steamboat.

so naw, theyre not revising history in the warrior's favor. in actuality, he deserves more props than he gets.

The first page aged like spoiled milk. What were you guys smoking in 2014?

Is it going to be like this when Hogan dies?

imagine trying to hold on to your childhood knowing Hoegan and MAGA Warrior were your heroes

HBK strikes me as matter of fact wasn't he against a Ahmed Johnson title push cause the fans weren't ready for a black WWF champion?

this part is true, I grew up on hogan warrior savage, later taker and bret and all that I dont remember getting into who was the great technical wrestlers until later era of bret shawn etc. maybe its cuz i was young but it seemed more about persona and showmanship at the time and characters. Having a good finisher was important but I dont remember anyone getting shytted on for not being great in the ring at the time

they amount of juelzing to justify loving someone who was an openly racist homophobic right wing extremists

Par for the course

Controversial but previously beloved figure dies and they get a couple of years nostalgia mileage out of him before people are reminded again why he was disliked later on in life

Yeah I was right lol

That explains the first couple of pages and the last couple of pages lol
