Ultimate Warrior -- Accused of $28k Wrestling Panty Raid
3 minutes ago by TMZ Staff
The Ultimate Warrior has been named in a police report ... accused of bilking a
collector out of $28k and a ton of wrestling merchandise, including ring-worn
wrestling trunks ... TMZ has learned.
The report was filed with the Sante Fe County Sheriff's Department in New Mexico by
a sports memorabilia dealer named Christopher Elias.
Elias claims he struck a $28k deal with Warrior, in which the wrestling legend
agreed to send Elias a bunch of classic merchandise from his personal collection.
Warrior was also supposed to sign twenty wrestling belts and ten Wrestlemania
posters that Elias owned.
Elias says he paid Warrior nearly $30k for the gear and the autographs... but claims
the wrestler went MIA and never sent Elias any of the promised merchandise.
So, Elias filed the fraud report asking the Santa Fe Sheriff to bring criminal
charges against Warrior. He also vows to sue the wrestling great if he doesn't get
back his money and memorabilia ASAP.
We reached out to Warrior's rep for comment -- so far, no word back.
