I mean, possibly, though it's probable that, having already been Dingo Warrior when teaming with Sting as the Blade Runners, that he was keen to change as little as possible, so he would have wanted to be some sort of Warrior.

in an alternate universe the Dingo Warrior comes into the WWF and gets thrown into a tag team with Outback Jack.

I believe the story was that Vince came up with it because he didn't know what a Dingo was. As he Warrior was going by Dingo Warrior before coming to the WWF (including I think a few dark matches in the WWF under that name)
and wanted him to be better than the Road Warriors, The Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich, and the other variations of Warriors that were running around... and came up with the adjective "Ultimate".
True or not I could easily see something like that as where the name change came from.

That’s the story Bruce Prichard tells on the 100% truthful definitely not slanderous Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior DVD. |

After a 2 year run Outback and Dingo could have formed a stable when the Bushwhackers came in.

I always thought the story was that he was filming promos before his debut and he called himself "an ultimate warrior" or "the ultimate warrior" in one of them. Vince looked and said, "what did he just call himself?" Davey Boy, who had a tendency to watch and try to make people try and crack up while doing these videos said, "he's the ultimate warrior" and Vince said, "That's it. You're The Ullllllltimate Warriorrrrrrrr"

Nothing to do with the movie.
Allen Coage, aka Bad News Brown, was also called the Ultimate Warrior years before his or Hellwig's WWF stints. Nothing to do with that either.

All I know is that my brother was only about 3-4 years old when we started watching WWF as kids, and he could only pronounce it as "Untimet."
