Not really. In the end, the Ultimate Warrior was just another musclehead with long hair, face paint, and tassles. His look was not that unique. Hell, if anyone could sue anyone I wonder if Fritz Von Erich had never thought to sue Vince for hiring the Dingo Warrior and changing nothing about him besides a part of his name. The only thing that made UW unique was his own personal charisma.

well keep in mind trademarks and stuff like that werent that strictly enforced back in the day like today. Vince thinks since he owns everything that why not trademark everything?....so back in the day a lot of the stuff that was trademarked just by Vince if I had to guess. I guess the Renegade thing could of been considered a parody so they cant offically sue WCW for it. Much like WCW couldnt sue ECW over the bWo parody.

And don't forget that the Renegade flopped and quickly became the biggest jobber ever--he might have gotten over if Vince sued.

I think I might've seen this guy at a local show when I was seven or eight. Infact I'm pretty positive it was him.

Yeah that's really funny.... classy. Apparently you haven't seen the Warrior shoot video. But you can stay on your little high horse if you'd like.

Yeah the interviewer was like
"Y-Yes..he's..dead too.." ..apparently unaware of how big a jackass Warrior could be.

I remember his debut, it was funny and sad at the same time. Looking back, he looked like a mix of the worst parts of RVD and Warrior.

I remember post-Warrior clone Renegade. Instead of ripping off Helwig, he ripped off Lorenzo Lamas. Poor guy couldn't catch a break.
But for some reason, I liked his team with Joe Gomez, even though they existed for about a nanosecond.

But what I really can't understand is how and why Arn Anderson did the j-o-b to the Renegade and dropped the TV title to him.
The Renegade was just as bad, if not worse, than Erik Watts.

The only thing that made UW unique was his own personal charisma. The music, running to the ring, and shaking the ropes made Ultimate Warior unique.

Yeah Renegade was Ultimate Warriorish for a short time. He won the TV Title, then lost it, then he lost the paint and the tights, put his hair in a little pony tail, and grew a goatee, kinda like a sucky version of Rob Conway.

The only thing that made UW unique was his own personal charisma. That kind of reminds me of something I was telling my friend the other day. I told him "If you thought his wrestling sucked in the WWF, you should have seen how god-awful he was when he was the Dingo Warrior in WCCW, my LORD was he bad!"
