Goldilocks and The Three Warriors



1990                           1992                           1996

Rod Stewart had to have his pumped because he swallowed too much semen. Richard Gere had a gerbil stuck up his butt and doctors had to get it out. There were three Ultimate Warriors, because the first one died and then they got a replacement Warrior and he died too. Forget the semen and gerbils, THERE WERE THREE ULTIMATE WARRIORS! It’s save to say that this was the first wrestling rumor I ever heard. What really blows my mind is that this was before the internets. This rumor spread across play grounds all over the United States of America in the early and mid 90’s. Allow me to breakdown how this could’ve happened

Warrior’s first run with the WWF ran from 1987 to 1991. This is the jacked up version of the Warrior we remember when you think of him. This is when he feuded with Rick Rude, Andre, and beat Hogan for the title at Wrestlemania 6. Then Summer Slam 91 happened and Mr. Warrior threatened Vince for more money otherwise he wouldn’t wrestle in the main event. This got him fired and he disappeared from the WWF Universe for about 6 months. He made this triumph return at Wrestlemania 7 by saving Hulk Hogan from Papa Shango and Sid Justice. This is where the “replacement” warrior rumor starts, all because he cut his hair shorter and it was darker.

Warrior’s second run with the WWF had my favorite feud of all time. Still remember watching Superstars on that fateful Sunday morning when Papa Shango put a cure on The Warrior. Everything from the green pea soup to black ink running down the face of the Warrior was awesome. I have attached four video below that will get you caught up if you haven’t seen it before, but if your reading this blog right now it’s safe to say you’ve seen it. Warrior stayed with the company until Survivor Series 92. He would stay away from professional wrestling for almost 4 years.

Warrior’s third and final run with the WWF was in 1996. He retuned at Wrestlemania 12 and squashed Triple H in a mere minute and 36 seconds. This time around he feuded with Jerry “The King” Lawler and Goldust, and was gone by July. He did look a little different because of his hair was blonder. You know what, I’m blaming this whole rumor on hair color and hair length. Oh yeah and face paint.
