Your thoughts on the Ultimate Warrior

I liked him as a kid too but I can't go back and watch his matches with the same amazement and wonder I once did. The world has changed. The business has changed (like 1,000 times over).

I still get some chills when I watch Hogan vs Warrior from Wrestlemania especially the beginning stare down with the crowd going totally ape shit. That saying, the matches he had were sub par and easily forgettable in comparison to some of the action of todays wrestling climate.

He does hold his place in wrestling history & should be admired for his contributions....But his style & gimmick is just totally not passable by today's standards.
