It's honestly kind of shocking that goddamn Ultimate Warrior is the sanest of all retired wrestlers. Like, you hear all the time about how wrestlers go insane with old age but Warrior honestly seems to have gone the other way around. And that's just so... bizarre. He's not sane when it comes to actual social issues, but he understands his current stance in the wrestling world and that young guys need to be pushed more than old guys. So, he wins there. He seems to be perfectly sane. You may not agree with him, but I wouldn't call his views symptoms of insanity. That being said, I do agree with the people who say that Warrior is one of the most stable of all the retired wrestlers. That being said--he still strikes you as odd sometime. There is this strange video I seem to recall--I may be imagining it. Where he's walking around his house at night--ala Paranormal Activity--shirtless with facepaint on skronking at the camera. ... OK maybe not -perfectly- sane.

Yeah, that.
The perfectly reasonable explanation is that he has a sense of humor and he realized that it would be strange/funny. Then again...
Sometimes he is reasonable and extremely articulate--mostly in recent years. Other times he just sounds a lot like...well...Ultimate Warrior.
Carnies, I guess.

I'm waiting for one of them to bring up there failed comicbook attempts as an insult. I'm a nash mark so even if he's wrong I'm on his side. I cannot deny the DIESEL POWER! Its so much stronger than WARRIOR POWAHHH!!! Seriously though I would pay good money to see Nash Jackknife Warrior, or anybody for that matter, in a random street fight.
Speaking of that is there a video of nash taking down that dude in the street for messing with his wife? Or am i fabricating this memory?

Am I the only one with the guts to admit that this is entertaining? We're on page 5 here and Hulk wouldn't have decided to stick his nose in it unless it was something that has gotten people talking. I've rolled my eyes so many times reading comments like "why can't these guys grow up?" that I'm afraid they're gonna get stuck that way. There may very well be a real reason for this feud but I'm sure the reason they're doing it publicly is because they're wrestlers and they're used to fighting in a way the fans can follow it and take sides. And we're all wrestling fans right? Why are we now all suddenly too mature to be interested in a fight?
And I love how people are defending Warrior. He's taking the high road now that Kevin Nash wants to kick his ass, the guy makes one comment that people here tend to agree with (even though he said it to take a shot at someone) and he seemed kind of like a nice enough guy in that shoot video he was paid to do so he's a great person whose side we should we all take. Right.

And we're all wrestling fans right? Why are we now all suddenly too mature to be interested in a fight? It is kind of entertaining, but quite sad at the same time. We're talking about two men aged 52 acting like 15 year olds. Warrior's an asshole and I cannot stand the man, but regardless of him firing the first shot, he's right. People may point out that Nash didn't take anybody else's spot when he worked with HHH, and HHH was going to use that time anyway. Where has HHH been since finishing off Nash? The angle didn't need to happen at all. They both took up TV time and PPV spots that could have been used on younger talent. I'd have no problem with Nash in the Booker T role - colour commentator on Raw with the occasional appearance to put over an up-and-comer. HHH in the COO role is fine when he's not the focus of the show is entertaining and serves a purpose.
