Hindsight can make anyone a judicious oracle of sapience (a what of what?). In hindsight, we know that giving The Ultimate Warrior the brass ring wasn't a sound decision. It didn't yield favorable results long-term, but when you watch an early Warrior bout, you can't blame Vinnie Mac for pushing the fucker to Saturn. How was he to know that Jim Hellwig was a flake in waiting? Look at the reaction he gets in today's match that time forgot, a six-man tag from 1988. Relatively speaking, Warrior was a wishful apprentice. He was as green as a turtle's undercarriage, but the crowd fucking loved him.
Watch as he teams up with The British Bulldogs to accost Mr. Fuji and Demolition. The crazy son of a bitch doesn't even need the other five participants to entertain the attendees. I'm not convinced that he realizes it's a tag team match. That's our Warrior! He botches a gorilla press slam towards the end, but who cares? The shrill, deafening fans clearly don't, and that's what matters.
