WWE needs to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone

[Cena's Jeans Shorts]

Vader got a bit of a pop, so I expect Warrior would get some reaction. I don't know how many would actually know who he is or would even really care other than giving a nice nostalgia pop. I suspect he'd get his fair share of boos from some of the more "smarky" parts of the crowd for lack of a better term.

The guy is getting on in years though. From what I'd seen, he keeps in great shape, but it's taken a toll on his body. He walks like a guy on some pretty shot knees. The guy made it clear that as hard as he trains, he's not training to be a bodybuilder anymore. He's not going to have remotely the same mass he once did. I just can't see him, at 50 years old, holding up to the same physical standard of size and physicality that he did as when he was 28.

He can come back looking in great shape, just won't have that same mass monster look that one associates with the Warrior. I think he could be a good heel, but I don't expect his matches would ever hold up today given what limitations he'd likely dealing with.

But I suppose if he went into a rumble, ran the ropes, threw a few clotheslines and got taken out, that would get a nice nostalgia pop.

I would actually be willing to bet Warrior would only get a moderate pop at best. There's still a ton of people who know who he is, but because of WWE and his own mistakes, he's also widely considered a joke... on the level of Doink and Manataur actually. That's actually what I would expect his reaction to sound like. Basically like it would if Max Moon suddenly appeared and ran to the ring.

OK I agree with you quite a bit, but Max Moon really? Warrior would get an amazing pop upon return. Now it would have to be a rumble appearance because it wouldn't last, but if his music hit the place would go nuts.

Maybe Max Moon was a little harsh. Maybe somewhere more in the area of Gangrel.

Anyone who had name value from the wrestling booms will get a pop. X-Pac got a pop ffs.

Somebody besides me remembers Max Moon?! I officially declare that I like you.

 

[We Are Legion]

He's Konnan

 

[Nevermore Arcanum]

Holy shit, I never would have (remembers Max Moon rolling in circles at the start of his matches)...nevermind.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I wouldn't talk to a wrestling fan if they didn't know who people like Max Moon were.

Konnan only wrestled a few matches as Moon before he left anyhow. Paul Diamond took over afterwards.
