Long before the Ultimate Warrior was unsettlingly lionised by WWE's relationship with Susan G Komen, he was worshiped by a generation of talent that grew up as huge fans of his lunatic persona and heroic presence.
His Royal Rumble 1991 attire was just one of the three legendarily patriotic attires Zack Ryder paid tribute to during his United States Title clash with Rusev at Battleground 2016.
With the tights, wristbands and kneepads of the Warrior, Ryder also sported a jacket similar to the one worn by Sting at 1990's Great American Bash, and glasses identical to the ones Randy Savage selected as part of his USA ensemble during the ill-fated 'Lex Express' call-to-action tour for the former 'Total Package' in the summer of 1993.
'Long Island Iced Z' was unfortunately substantially less successful than his costumed counterparts. Falling short against the 'Bulgarian Brute', Ryder was beaten further following the bell until 'Hype Bros' comrade Mojo Rawley confirmed his main roster draft with a run-in and run-off of the fearsome champion.
