For those questioning Warrior's racism, look up any of the comments he made dismissing Martin Luther King. Even if some of his speeches/essays weren't on the subject, he'd just casually/randomly bring MLK up just to run him down. I recall one time he was writing a positive thing about who he considered role models that inspired him and wrote, word for word "Martin Luther (NOT King.)" Like, OK dude, we know you're talking about the Lutheran leader Martin Luther. No need to be petty. Sometimes actions speak louder than words and his black colleagues always said he treated them right and with respect. Ahmed Johnson m.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ94sAGfvq8Bad News Brown m.youtube.com/watch?v=bA9fTyMcOPoBooker T On the flipside, the same can be said about Hogan treating his black colleagues right, but I don't think Warrior had a racial issue. He wore his emotions on his sleeve and would have said something horrible very quickly if he was that way inclined. But actions don't negate words. So he didn't do anything to his co-workers at his job he was being paid a lot of money for? That's akin to "i can't be racist, my co-worker is black." How could someone not racit take the time to write, post and later speak the things he's said?

After the Paris terror attacks, Sunny said she thought it was time for another Holocaust, but against Muslims. Hey! She said she was "just joking" if I remember correctly. Because they're always just joking, you know? Or they “just want to have a conversation”.

It’s always bothered me that whilst Hogan was removed from the Hall of Fame for past comments, not only was Warrior still in, he had a f***ing award named after him. I’m not defending Hogan’s comments and yes, it is a case of “whataboutism” but it is a ridiculous double standard. (And that’s not even mentioning the convicted rapist also in there). Or the murderer or the human trafficker. The wwe Wrestling in general is a cesspool. It will never change. Fixed. And I don't think anyone outside of Bobby Eaton or Owen Hart maybe are totally blameless.

I think more than enough time has been devoted to Warrior in this thread.

I honestly wish that Warrior had never reconciled with the WWE. I hate all the teary eyed glorification of him that's happened since he died. The guy had horrible views, and was more than eager to share them, for free and in exchange for money. Basically, any of them who have spouted racist, sexist, homophobic stuff are on my shit list. I have no time for any of that stuff. If you say something stupid but then apologise and acknowledge you were wrong, that's different. I was thinking about that too. The Warrior praise by the WWE now is just head shaking because he was a piece of crap.

I’m taking Owen off the list for breaking Austin neck and never apologizing, and using the move when Austin begged him not to do it. The only saints in wrestling are Eaton and Molly Holly. Everyone else is a carny bastard.

The Warrior praise by the WWE now is just head shaking because he was a piece of crap. No he wasn’t. As a person who spent time with him he was a pretty decent human who did regret things he says and admitted faults. He was a good father from what I can tell. When I was with him he was quite respectful and not the guy this forum makes him out to be. He said some horrible vile things but he wasn’t the monster people are trying to claim. I wish people could have got to spend time with him and talk to him. Very nice guy to everyone off camera. From what I can tell he changed for the better before his death.

While what he said was f***ed up, I think he had a better mindset before he passed. I’m sure he would of apologized to Heenan and whoever else

Someone just HAS to get the last word in after being told to stop.
