Thankfully Vince McMahon and The Ultimate Warrior were able to put aside their differences earlier this year. This allowed Warrior the opportunity to take his rightful place within the WWE Hall of Fame before sadly passing away only days after the ceremony. The idea of McMahon and Warrior even being so much as in the same room as each other was inconceivable to many of the sceptics for a great deal of time, due to their very heated disagreements. The most notable issue came in 1991, when The Ultimate Warrior sent McMahon a handwritten letter demanding the money and perks that he felt he had earned. McMahon replied with a letter of his own, agreeing to succumb to the majority of Warriors demands, as well as signing off with the positive and seemingly reassuring, I would like to express to you my deepest appreciation and admiration for you as a performer, as a member of the WWF family, as a man and as my friend. Naturally, McMahons acceptance of Warriors desires allowed a temporary hiatus in a confrontational showdown between a challenging employee and his business minded boss; temporary being the predominant word. Two month later, subsequently after Warrior wrestled at the WWEs high profiled PPV event SummerSlam, McMahon suspended the demanding superstar and subsequently cancelled his previous acceptance of Warriors demands, stating: in the face of your threatened breach of your Contract, I had to sign the modifications, because the only alternative was that Titan would suffer great loss and irreparable harm if you failed to appear at SummerSlam. Accordingly, I consider those purported modifications to be null and void. As you can imagine, things became pretty sour from there on in.
