10 Egocentric Wrestling Stars Who Believed Their Own Hype
8. The Ultimate Warrior
Rather understandably, WWE management chose to ignore the 'Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior' DVD they'd produced several years prior when inducting Warrior into the WWE Hall Of Fame, or discussing him after his death shortly thereafter. After all, why ruin the story of their rekindled relationship, despite the fact that the aforementioned DVD pretty much lambasted the guy heavily.
To anyone who has followed pro wrestling over the past 25 years, it's not exactly a huge revelation that The Ultimate Warrior had a huge ego. The man did legally change his name to 'Warrior' after all, not to mention take it upon himself to instruct others on how to live their lives, infamously uttering the line, 'queering doesn't make the world work'.
Back in the wrestling business, Warrior was notorious for keeping himself to himself. That's not a problem as such, because he was entitled to live life how he wished, but the man also seemed to envision The Ultimate Warrior as infallible, demanding incredible money from Vince McMahon in the early-90's and pretty much thinking he was the key to the WWF's success.
