The latest issue of Smackdown! Magazine features an article promoting the upcoming WWE DVD entitled, "The Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior". Aside from hilighting one of the most colorful superstars in WWE history, the DVD will be especially interesting because it will be the first time WWE has released a "Best Of" DVD collection with the intentions of madmouthing and burying the featured talent.
The 2-disc 6-hour DVD set hits stores Tuesday, September 27th. Below is the full review from SmackDown! Magazine:
The Highs and Lows Of A WWE Icon
One of the most enigmatic figures in WWE history adored by many, but not highly regarded within the industry. At one time the most popular superstar on the planet, his bizarre behavior assured it could not last.
The Warrior DVD pulls no punches dishing all the dirt on Jim 'Warrior' Hellwig. Featuring Interviews from Vince, Hogan, Heenan, DiBase and Slaughter.
From his early days as a Blade Runner, to the Dingo Warrior to his WWE breakthrough in 1987, viewers are taken through every step of the Warrior experience. What makes the DVD compelling for fans is the other side of the story that was not seen by the public at the time. Warrior’s colleagues tell the story of a man who was unstable, unprofessional and ungrateful for the chance given to him by WWE. Despite his charisma Warrior failed to attain the success many felt he was destined to, and this DVD analyzes those reasons.
Included in the DVD are the Ultimate Challenge vs. Hogan at Mania 6, his IC title win over Honky Tonk at Summerslam, and the retirement match vs. Savage.
Unlike many DVD tributes which sugarcoat things to glorify their subjects, The Self Destruction of Ultimate Warrior is a brutally honest take on one of sports entertainment’s biggest stars. For any fan of Warrior or WWE from this era it is nothing short of a gem.
