I wouldn't of done that, but the WWF really didn't do a great job of building a heel after his Title win at Mania 6. Rude's last major win was @ Mania 6 where he beat now jobber to the stars, Jimmy Snuka. Rude was literally the only route they could go with Warrior because of the history. But Rude never even got a clean win over Warrior in the past, so that program was dead from the start.
And that was the biggest problem with Warrior's run. The WWF didn't have the array of heels like they did with Hulks run. You had a bunch of mid card guys. Earthquake, Perfect, Savage (who was stuck in mid card hell) and Rude. Out of these guys, I would of put Perfect in with Warrior right off the bat. Remember, Warrior was the IC Champ going into Mania 6 and he had to foefeit it. Perfect won the belt after Mania, but they put him into a feud with Von Erich.
The WWF would of never beat Warrior 3 months after he beat Hogan and I wouldn't of done that either. It's just not the right thing to do after you've spent a year building him.
