10 MORE Strange Times Wrestlers Appeared In Commercials

2. The Ultimate Warrior Sells His Own Wrestling School

The idea that the Ultimate Warrior once ran his own wrestling school is stranger than the commercial itself.

Imagine learning one's craft under Jim Hellwig, Christ almighty. He could teach you how to throw lariats with your armpit and drop people wherever they land with a numbskull gorilla press slam. "Hey, where they land is their f*ckin' problem. Everybody needs to take accountability for their own actions!"

Of course, being literally anything associated with the Warrior, the commercial is strange.

As if his promos weren't sufficiently unintelligible, he adds an echo effect to whatever it is he is saying. Something about the mad man being back?

He tells prospective trainees that strength of character is equally important as athletic ability, as the commercial segues to him training. Look, the idea is to make it seem like hard work, so that everybody knows what exactly they're in for, but he sounds like an animal in agony.

Come to Warrior University! Have a sh*t time and learn to become an even worse wrestler!

It's no wonder he took the Vince money a year later.
