10 Compensations Wrestlers Accepted As Payback

10. The Ultimate Warrior - A New DVD

Even at the time of its release, The Ultimate Warrior sort of got the last laugh after the infamous Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior DVD due to the last frame featuring the detail that his name was copyrighted to "Ultimate Creations" rather than World Wrestling Entertainment.

But that minor win probably didn't feel like one after an all-timer hatchet job from the organisation that came before it.

When he came back for his Hall Of Fame induction in 2014, WWE had little option but to completely reframe his legacy entirely. The late-1980s icon they'd positioned as a painted up clown wouldn't have been worthy of their supposedly prestigious Hall. An all-new DVD and documentary was made before his untimely death that featured matches broken up by comments from Warrior himself.

His involvement stood as a monument to the supposedly legitimacy of this project, even if it put forth propaganda of a different kind.
