Considering people shelled out some hundred bucks for a random diva's panties (or for the box of an XBOX360), I don't think Warrior's ring gear being sold for 1k is so outrageous. But since it's Warrior's, it has to be made fun of See, to me I don't think the fact that are dumb enough for buying diva panties makes it any less stupid for ponying up a thousand for these. It'd be stupid no matter whose trunks they were. |

20 dollars for shipping cost? And I thought that TicketMasters fees were high.

I just wonder what a pair of Mickie James' stained underware would go for. I guess it would depend on who stained them. Washed or unwashed? lol ~Kyle |

(not that he tries to avoid that...) In the end, Ultimate Warrior (the character) can be considered a bona fide Legend in the business, so if some collector has a Grand to invest in Warrior's ring gear, more power to him. It's not like we're speaking of Barry Hardy's trunks  |

This is a post about someone paying $1000 for the possibly urine-stained underwear of a psychotic homophobic racist from the night he dropped the title to Saddam Hussein's favorite wrestler. Wow. Yeah, I can see how this gets made fun of. On a board that, again, is from a site dedicated solely to making fun of things like this. |

But since it's Warrior's, it has to be made fun of Neither do I. Also, I don't see a yellow stain, just looks like the lighting is making it appear that way to me. I think it may depend on your system. I have a nice bright LCD monitor on this system and I saw it clear as day the first time I glanced at the picture. I saw it today on my other system, which is a dinosaur of a computer complete with dark 17 inch CRT monitor. On that system I couldn't see the stain even though I knew it was there and where to look. If I had to guess, I'd say it's been washed a few times and is fairly faint so you need a good bright picture to see it. But it's definitely there IMO. And I don't think it's anything to do with the lighting. |

Because the "moster push" wasn't given to every other guy back in the Hulkamania Era. Warrior was for a brief period, as over as Hogan, if not MORE. Nobody ever had the "privilege" of pinning Hogan cleanly before in WWF, and if that happened, it was because they felt the Ultimate Warrior was the right man to push. Of course, most of the credit goes to WWF for creating the character, but, as always, the man playing it has to be the right man in the right place. Leave Warrior's views outside of this issue. Who cares if he's a "psychotic homophobic racist". It's totally irrelevant if we speak of his in-ring career. The piss-stained trunks he wore at Royal Rumble may not be worth a Grand for you and for me. But memorabilia collectors think otherwise. And thanks, I know what WrestleCrap is about, but I think there'd be a limit to mocking people, while we may be "victims" of the same insanity for other things. |

The yellow stain that people are so interested in, is merely the after effects of Warrior's Big Splash...

the stupidest thing I've ever seen on ebay was a literal bag of air that someone bought that had a disclaimer that it was air from a hurricane that happened here (North Carolina) and said WARNING: DO NOT OPEN, MAY CONTAIN HURRICANE FORCE WINDS.
Que the Shane Helms jokes now.

And thanks, I know what WrestleCrap is about, but I think there'd be a limit to mocking people, while we may be "victims" of the same insanity for other things. He wasn't more popular than Hulk though, that's the problem and the reason they took the title from him. They did their best to put him over as the successor to Hogan, but Hellwig failed. Also, his views are relevant. He's going to be remembered as much for telling an Arab student to "go get a towel" as much as he is for headline Mania XI. While he's clearly not as bad, it's like saying OJ Simpson memorabilia shouldn't go down in price when he starts murdering people. Professional athlete's personal lives do have a huge effect on the value of their memorabilia. Regardless, what of this "limit to mocking people?" We're not talking about mocking Benoit's children or something. This isn't some moral high ground where it should be immune to mocking. I don't understand at all why you think urine-stained tights going for $1000 should be beyond the mocking limit. |

He failed because WWF kinda put the rug out from under Warrior's push as Champion...
He defeated Hogan, and all he gets is a rehashed feud against Rick Rude and little more... Hardly material that could have sold out arenas... .
A "successor to Hogan" would have get something better than a feud with a midcarder.
Warrior's political views are irrelevant, and it's your choice if you feel these are a big part of judging his career.
I doubt the average fan is aware of Warrior's bizarre takes on queering and towels, and it'd NOT affect the evaluation of a career.
It's not like he killed people (like OJ and Benoit)
Still, Benoit-the-wrestler has to be remembered fondly, separating him from Benoit-the-murderer.
As far as I'm concerned, homophobic, xenophobic, paranoid Warrior > family killer Benoit.
