Ultimate Warrior's 11 Losses - From Cleanest To Screwiest

11. Vs. André The Giant - House Show April 3 1988

Shrouded in urban legend, the patchy record-keeping of professional wrestling does however nail a specific date on which the Ultimate Warrior lost just one of two indisputably clean WWF (or indeed any) matches since his repackage from the Dingo Warrior persona: April 3, 1988.

But how?

Message board whispers suggest that André simply sat on Warrior for the three count. This rumour might be informed by the fandom's knowledge of André's later years, in which he was barely capable of doing anything, much less sitting back up. His condition at the time lends itself to conjecture.

"I heard that he took a sh*t on 'im, too!"

Promoted in Cesena, Italy, the very reputable and knowledgeable Chris Harrington - who serves now as All Elite Wrestling's Vice President - revealed that André kicked Warrior in the face en route to victory.

Both accounts are true. Held a year after WrestleMania III, astonishingly, the Giant defeated Warrior with a big boot.

Sort of.

André won, technically, with the same cut-off spot you see on every wrestling TV show most weeks. Warrior sprinted into him in the corner, André raised his foot, and Warrior fell to the ground. Too far gone to execute the sit-down splash, he used the ropes to ease himself down slightly.

Clean rating: Nowhere near the taps, brother!
