Triple H dubs Ultimate Warrior ‘Legendary’ and a ‘Hall of Fame superstar’

[Heisenberg]

TRIPLE H has made several must-read comments on none other than the Ultimate Warrior, as well as speaking about the transition from the ring to the office and what his favorite Wrestlemania moment is. Triple H made the comments speaking to the LA Times, check them out below.

Triple H was asked in the interview if he would sign Ultimate Warrior and squash him (like he did to Triple H at Wrestlemania 12). Triple H said, “It’s funny, a lot of people bring that up in a negative way like it was this terrible thing in my life. While working with him personally wasn’t the highlight of my life from a business standpoint, for me to go to me first WrestleMania and wrestle a legendary figure in the business — and that is what he was and is — like the Ultimate Warrior, a Hall of Fame superstar in the business in my first WrestleMania appearance, squash or not, was a mind blowing thing for me.

Triple H continued, “I was thrilled to be in that position and to have that match with the Ultimate Warrior. I was thrilled with the fact that at that time Vince McMahon was willing to put me in that role. The Ultimate Warrior wasn’t there till the day of the show, so I had to do all the promotion for that match. I wanted Vince McMahon to look at me as a guy he could count on to handle the return of a guy that he was hoping would be a huge impact on the business. He had the trust in me and I would do a good job with it. So to me, that was nothing but a good experience. Potentially, I could bring him back and get the win.â€

Speaking on the transition from being a full-time wrestler to a WWE executive, Triple H said “Full-time wrestlers have fewer meetings than full-time managers do. I spend time in meetings a lot. And wearing a tie is kind of a downfall. I think it’s just learning to deal with situations in a business way as opposed to a locker room way. There is a large world of difference and you just have to learn that transition.â€

Triple H also picked out Ric Flair and Buddy Rogers as 2 people that he would like to have faced at Wrestlemania. He also picked out Hulk Hogan slamming Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3 as his favorite WM moment.

Very good executed answers from Triple H. I'd like to see Ultimate Warrior do one last run in the WWE even though it's highly unlikely. If he was inducted into the HOF, that'd be good too.

Warrior Responds to Triple H
In response to Triple H recently claiming in an interview that he would be open to bringing The Ultimate Warrior back to WWE, Warrior posted the following on Twitter:

Kinda with Warrior here it is pretty odd how lately they have soften their stance on him after deeming him unprofessional and trashing him in their DVD about him. Guess maybe they're doing this to get him in the HOF.

 

[Defiant]

He's gonna interfere in Cena/Rock and we're gonna get swerved the fuck out of.

 

[Slim]

Yeah definitely looks like they are trying to soften up to get him for something. Same thing they did with Macho Man. For years they had nothing to do with him and then they started to soften up the stance, they had him do the WWE All Stars commercial and stuff.

WWe got some sort of agenda. Triple H definitely changed his stance as well cause in the DVD he called him unprofessional and stuff.

 

[Troy]

WWE are probably trying to get him to sign a Legends deal or get him for a future HOF induction. It is amazing to see how HHH's view has changed in the past view years, from trashing him in the DVD to singing his praises now.

 

[We Are Legion]

WTF?????????

I've read several interviews by Triple H where he calls Ultimate Warrior the most unprofessional and self-righteous person he's ever worked with. If Triple H doesn't think WM12 was a terrible moment of his life, I dunno, maybe he shouldn't have said it numerous times?

I'm really friggin confused.

 

[SAIYANS]

HHH has to wear a suit now and not just for Evolution. He has to think as an exec and Warrior can make money and be a story of closure ala Bret if he gets welcomed back and goes into the HOF. COO talking, not one of the boys in the back

 

[The Cork]

Bit two-faced after they stuck the hatchet in his back with that burial DVD.

Pretty much what PSYCH said since he now works more in the front office now he has to put on a straight face and straight bullshit even if he doesn't agree with it. Thing is this isn't even believable bullshit since we all know his true feelings toward Warrior.

 

[Darth Shizzel]

No wonder he's nose looked bigger then usual he's been telling some fibs naughty naughty Triple H if your not careful Steph will have a new toy to play with if she doesn't play with the toy already.

Seriously there are multiple videos and newsites that have Triple H bagging Warrior you can't just back track them now thats beyond stupid in my view he isn't worthy of the HOF anyway (warrior) he was just a tool and unfortunatley he somehow managed to get the fans to his side.

 

[rcoot93]

Don't see the point in him coming back however you can argue he is legendary

 

[Rated R Superstar]

WWE just wants to make money, period. They'll do anything to get that money. There is truly no point in bringing Warrior back.

 

[Dale]

I'd LOVE to see Warrior come back. Him and Ryder could team up and be The Ultimate Broski's

 

[We Are Legion]

Yeah I don't see any point of him coming back either. He's always been a horrible wrestler.

 

[The Cork]

They probs just need a credible headliner for nxt yrs HOF.
