I can definitely understand why Steve refused to do another match after Mania 19. Even when Punk and Cena seemed intriguing
Coming down off the extreme high of that 97-2001 fukked him up for a few years.
There’s no way I’d be willing to go back thru that process.
He still has that ability to flip that gear into Stone Cold Steve Austin on a dime, you can see it in his eyes when he starts talking about certain moments. it’s kinda amazing.
Jim Ross is gonna let the chopper loose on the Warrior episode. He goes off every time they mention him on his podcast
Considerong the ether Warrior laid on JR... JR is seething:
Jimmie Ross. For the life of me, I don?t get what your beef (should I say pork?), Jimmie, is with the sane and happy ole? Warriorman. Of course, I can only imagine that a whole hell of a lot of anal pressure must come with being one of Vince?s top ass-wipes. Yet, still, can I ask -- just when did you get to know me well enough to go on and on about me as you seem so fit to do? Can we substantiate some time period, here? Discussions or meetings that were held? Or is this too much to ask? I?m not the only one who?d like to know. Everyone is asking the same question: ?Just when did Jim Ross get to know Warrior so well to have these endless opinions about him that he does?? All anyone can think of, largely because it is so apparent across the board throughout the entire DVD, is that, again, envy alone provides you (and everyone else for that matter) with the enlightenment and answers.
You are obviously jealous of both the fact that I never let Vince have his way with me as he has with you and everyone else and, also, that you never had the chance to bend me over either since becoming the Mother Hen over the talent around about ?96 when I was last there. Well now, Jimmie, come on. It?s hard to take you so seriously, considering prime talent such as myself would never answer to you about anything. I mean, what in the hell would you know about succeeding at the level I did? And here you go on and on to others about how ?Warrior is so full of himself.? Get your head out of the pork and beans, Jimmie. And actually, it is not true that I am full of myself, even when I am arrogantly pounding the broad chest of my own healthy personal self-esteem. No, it is that I am loaded for bear defending how FULL The Ultimate Warrior persona should be of itself, because IT WAS GREAT AND MADE AN IMPACT ON THE INDUSTRY LIKE FEW OTHERS.
Can we ask, Jimmie, just how many tickets have been sold to people to come and sit in an arena for a wrestling card just so they can see you? NOT ONE. That?s how many. Don?t even need a damn calculator to do that math. Guys like me who have what it takes to make a persona work pay your bar-b-q bill, Jimmie. Your fat ass and your silly ten gallon cowboy hat were on the plane to the next city on the tour because TOP TALENT like me performing Ultimate Warrior bought your ticket.
You seem to forget that there was once a ?better? day when talent didn?t need their hands held, noses blown or picked, and their asses wiped, especially by a drooling gotta-get-closer-to-those-sweaty-wrestling-bodies feminine cowboy like you. Great talent knew what to do and did it, and they didn?t run crying to numb-nut writers and out-of-control, head-tripping, power freak babysitters like yourself. You, Jimmie, are the one who needs to get a grip, not I. When I talk about the great career of the Ultimate Warrior, I do so with the authority of millions of minds filled with the great, on-the-record memories. Yet when you criticize it, your authority comes only from the fact that you have a cubicle at WWE offices and it has gone to your head. You?ve been sniffing too many of your own bean farts, Jimmie.
The best I can say about you is that you remind of a sodomized Ned Beatty squealing like a pig in Deliverance. How weirdly well it fits, too. You being so into bar-b-q as you are and Vince being into porking others as he has long done. My question: you still squeal after all these years, Jimmie? Wherever your problem about me arises from we may never find out -- after all, up there in Stamford the truth doesn?t rank too high on the to-do list. But one thing is for damn sure and the DVD proves it. It is your unsubstantiated opinions about me and your non-objective animus toward me that are delusional and insane.
