To be fair, Warrior is certainly a c***. There's still the argument a lot of the time that a large percentage of Warrior's controversial statements were a sort of kayfabe for him, putting over his insane character given from his shoot he seemed 100% alright haha. Not sure whether that's true, but over the last few years he's not tended to come out with stupidly offensive comments and generally has put over how youth is the key to wrestling succeeding. (Off topic) Also, brilliant Wildhearts related username. (/off topic) To his credit, he does seem to have a pretty good mind for the business. But in almost every other respect he seems like a horrible person. That story Bret tells in his book about him just ignoring the Make a Wish kid dying of cancer who wanted to meet him. Among other stuff. The kayfabe reasoning is ridiculous IMO, and doesn't excuse him at all for the shit he's said/done. And cheers, always good to see another Wildhearts fan on the boards!

Wrestling: the career choice you choose when you don't want to ever leave high school.
Pathetic.

Yeah, you're right there, I blank out all the horrid crap he did to people in his active career but with that in mind I can agree he's a horrid person in his life choices and acts.

To be fair, Warrior is full of shit and has been asking for this for years. Iron Sheik called him out a few years ago, and how much different can two guys get than Nash and Sheik? Wanting to beat Warrior's ass is the connection, and LOL @ anyone who thinks Warrior would win, has he ever been in a real fight? Nash KO'd Roddy Piper backstage and Piper has an actual wrestling background, Warrior was a bodybuilder and now he's a...something. The point is, the Warrior has never been a fighter and he wasn't even very good at pretending to wrestle, Nash would break him in half, but that's beside the point. How many toes has Warrior stepped on? Believe it or not, sometimes I think Jim Hellwig actually doesn't seem like such a bad guy, but the fact remains that he runs his mouth about the wrong people and I don't have a problem with somebody calling him out. Not that he'd have the guts to show.

Nash is relentless with this, and it's really sounding like NASH ANGRY.
Hellwig has virtually nothing to do with the business anymore, so it would behoove him to shut the hell up.

You know, the impression I get is that Warrior used to be crazy but he honestly calmed down a lot with old age and is acting pretty reasonable.

So many people defending Nash when Warrior was right. I'm kinda disgusted right now.

Nash, much like HBK, demanded money but never laid down.
Warrior reportedly charged out the ass for up the ass.

Let's not lie though, if it was announced tomorrow that Nash and Warrior were meeting at WrestleMania, it would put butts in seats.

He's right about Nash. But, for him to say that he's not a dickhead who steals the spotlight from younger guys is bulls*** since that's EXACTLY what he did when he came back to the WWF and when he made his appearance in WCW.
So yeah, shut the f*** up both of you. 50 plus years old and they're acting like 16 year old drama queen girls.
I'm starting to think that all wrestlers should have their twitter accounts suspended until they learn to get over themselves and grow the hell up.

I'm starting to think that all wrestlers should have their twitter accounts suspended until they learn to get over themselves and grow the hell up. That was well over a decade ago when he probably thought he could still go and people actually wanted to see him. Back then, it was okay for him to still be around. Guys like Hogan, Piper, Flair, & Savage still were. Why not give it one last go? Fast forward to 2012. No. It's not okay for him or any of those other legends, Nash included, to still be around. Warrior understands that. Nash, apparently, does not.

So many people defending Nash when Warrior was right. I'm kinda disgusted right now. So many? You mean a few? Warrior is right in one way, but wrong in another. Calling Nash a dickhead is just begging him to respond. I'd be angry if someone I thought was cool with me called me a dickhead. Nash isn't really stealing anything from anybody. If the Nash/HHH feud didn't happen, WWE would have filled the airtime with something just as bad. You think that time would be going to Tyson Kidd vs Yoshi Tatsu? No.

Wrestling: the career choice you choose when you don't want to ever leave high school. It is just that, isn't it? I love wrestling, but it's ridiculous how the business keeps grown men from emotionally maturing past the age of 15. And hey, if these two guys back out of having a shoot fight, there's still another option... Oh yeah, that's right... CROSSOVER!!!!! vs.
