We know about the handful of great matches Warrior was carried too by the likes of Savage and Rude, as well as his title match against Hogan, but what other matches out there are good/watchable? Any hidden/rare ones out there?

His house show matches with Rude are pretty good. You can find a few of them on youtube, as I know there's one from New Jersey and also one from Hamilton, Canada that are both good matches. I remember him having a good match with Haku in LA that aired on Prime Time in early 1989 sometime. He has a good one with Dibiase on the November 1990 SNME, with Warrior shockingly being the better guy in the match. There's also a surprisingly decent Dino Bravo match that was shown on the Wrestlefest 1990 Coliseum Home Video. Those are really the only ones to come mind.
Warrior was never a good worker but in 89/90 he was serviceable and could have a good to great match if he was in with the right opponent. Savage match aside he really regressed in 91 it seemed as it seemed like he stopped giving a crap with most of his matches being short and consisting of him mainly just doing clotheslines and not much of anything else.

Now that I come to think about it, outside of Savage, Slaughter and Undertaker. I cant really think of many people he even worked with in 1991

I cant really think of many people he even worked with in 1991 He had a Coliseum Video match with Earthquake that was pretty disappointing considering that Quake and Hogan has some decent matches. And he squashed Smash on Superstars, which seemed like the biggest match in Superstars history to me as a kid. |

Warrior was never particularly polished in the ring but remember he always had to work within the framework of his character. Imagine he had Backlund like wrestling skills...how ridiculous would it b e to run to the ring, shake the ropes, and the put on a 30 minute slow moving technical display?
He was fine, sure he got blown up too fast at times but overall it's quite astounding how many good matches he had for a guy who the haters label one of the worst superstar wrestlers of all time. He wasn't that terrible. Both matches with Savage (WM 7 and Summerslam 92) are great. His matches with Rude are always pretty good. He was pretty damn watchable.

The rematch after the squash with Honky on SNME is good too.

The Rumble where he and Hogan came face to face for the first time was great, it made him look like a total bad ass.

Yeah Warrior/Savage at VII is al types of good. In fact if you gave Warrior an opponent who could kinda guide the match he had some pretty good ones.

This would make for a great title for Warrior's next home video release.

Warrior/Savage at WM VII is my favorite match ever. Wasn't Hogan vs Slaughter the main event at WM7? Anyway, Hogan vs Warrior at WM is the ONLY good Warrior match I've ever seen. The Warrior vs Randy Savage match was BS because Warrior no-sold not one, but MULTIPLE flying elbow drops. |

He could've just pinned him after one. By the way, I still cry at the end with Elizabeth lol. |

It perfectly played to the story of Savage trying everything on his arsenal to save his career and realizes he has hit the bottom. Only to find his love back and realize he has plenty of cheer in his life. This match and the angle made me a wrestling fan for life. |

What on earth does the WM7 main event have to do with the quality of the Warrior/Savage match?! You act as if Warrior no selling the elbow drops was a shoot or something. Savage clearly planned it that way. If your beef is with anyone, it's with him. Have you seen Warrior -vs- DiBiase from SNME in 1990? |
