I mean, yeah he wasn't gonna give you much of a match&I legitimately can't remember if he ever even cut a promo.
Doesn't matter, dude looked awesome. If anyone ever looked like a wrestler, it was The Warlord. From him being just a swole dude to an entrance costume that looked like he'd be fighting He-man (seriously, the "armor", the silver half-mask and the big W staff ruled) the guy looked liked he was gonna wreck shit.
Sometimes you just want your rasslers to be huge, hulking brutes.

I think my earliest Warlord memories is hearing Davey Boy mention him in promos and say "Wohr-loord."

Definitely looked awesome and, especially in the era he was in, coulda gotten pushed a little more/higher.

Babydoll was his manager/valet for a minute. I thought that was cool.

I wonder how he feels about being part of this (digital) card set.

Ok, wasn't Warlord that big guy whose favorite move was standing and letting other guys propel themselves off the ropes and crash into his chest so he could wobble and swing his arms around like he was swimming?

Great look, with maybe my favorite entrance outfit in wrestling history, surely in the short list. He was really in a lot of ways a guy who was one of the best examples of the sort of wrestler he was. My favorite wrestler, legitimately! He was Batista's favorite, as well.

Post WrestleMania VI would have been a great chance to get Warlord and Barbarian in a main event run with Warrior and Hulk. I think it has long been rumored too. They hadn't exactly been losers as a tag team as heels as most of their losses came because Fuji was a hinder rather than a help. I think Warlord would have been a good Hulk opponent and Barbarian for Warrior but really either one could work for Warrior as Barbarian was animal-like and Warlord was supernatural in new appearance. Also a Rick Rude feud was so played out with Warrior already it wasn't worth it though Earthquake was definitely destined for big things with Hulk. I do think he could have saved for a feud post summerslam with a better main event for WrestleMania VII. Post summerslam and beyond WWF made Warlord and Barbarian lose to almost anyone and everyone and I don't know how adults or kids can take them seriously into 1991.

I legit thought Sheamus is no Warlord - size, fight ability and pure presence.

I mainly remember him from Chris Jericho's autobiography spending ages driving around Japan looking for steak and losing an eating competition. And OSW of course.

Seriously one of the most badass looks in all of wrestling.
They should've built him and The Barbarian up as title challengers during Warrior's reign.

While the visual would have been cool, once the bell rings woof! With the Warlord at least, I could see Barbie having a decent little brawl with Warrior.
