Where to begin?

The Ultimate Warrior was an awful human being.

Per Bret Hart's book 'Hitman', the Warrior was once asked to meet a terminally ill child. This bothered the Warrior, whereas every single other wrestler ventured outside of the locker room to greet them. When Warrior was asked when he would do the same - the child, wearing custom tassels, heartbreakingly, was there to see his favourite specifically - apparently roared "in a f***ing minute!" before never going to the bother.

Warrior laughed in a blog entry about the slow, agonising, death of Bobby Heenan, comparing him to a colostomy bag.

What did Heenan do?

Per Heenan, he took an errant blow to the neck from the Warrior despite expressly asking him to avoid what was an aggravated body part.

This continued a pattern of behaviour; in a shoot interview, Demolition Smash once claimed that Rick Rude once confronted the Warrior about the exact same thing. When Warrior claimed that he didn't need to ease up, "because I'm the Warrior", Rude apparently sparked him clean out then and there.

Warrior was outwardly homophobic when he attempted a living doing lectures on the college circuit, and felt no sympathy for the residents of New Orleans, following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, because "their lives were already in ruin - self-ruin".

What a d*ckhead.
