10 Wrestling Documentaries That Accidentally Uncovered Major Scoops
6. It's All A Work, And You're All Marks
Again: "The Ultimate Warrior was a piece of sh*t and Vince thinks you'll believe any old sh*te he tells you" aren't revelations, per se, but it was striking to see A&E outright broadcast this, particularly since the 2021 Biography: WWE Legends series was produced in collaboration with WWE.
It's one thing to acknowledge that the Ultimate Warrior was awkward and irritable, which is WWE euphemism speak for "colossal pr*ck, just a mean-spirited ar*ehole" - but to confirm to the world that Vince McMahon doesn't care about the young children that sustained his business?
At least before the 62 year-olds started falling asleep in front of RAW, anyway.
The story goes that Warrior was once identified without his face paint by a small child at an airport, and Warrior, who promptly told the kid to f*ck off, was forced to record a video apology. Incredibly, he was rattled during the process. He didn't know why he had to do it. Because he's a sociopath.
"F*ck them kids, I agree Jim" Vince said, before urging Warrior over the line by telling him that "it's a work, we're working here," revealing to all the world that WWE is a rotten place.
The implication was that, if a top star bantered off a young fan today, the apology would mean nothing.
