10 Most Embarrassing Falls From Grace In WWE
7. The Ultimate Warrior
Don't let the WWE's current lionization of the man fool you - for nearly twenty years The Ultimate Warrior and the WWE absolutely despised one another.
Despite being pushed to the moon in his time there, Warrior was seldom on good terms with the WWE. Like the worst kind of toxic relationship, the two would spend the 90's breaking up and getting back together before the Warrior's blisteringly bad 1996 run seemingly severed relations between him and the McMahon's company for good. (If you can, watch his match with Goldust from that year. It's almost artistically terrible).
The absolute nadir of their relationship came with 2005's The Self-Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior. A brutal 90 minute burial of both the wrestler and the man, it remains to this day the only time the WWE have released a shoot docmentary for the sole purpose of humiliating a former talent.
Although Warrior would patch things up with his former employers just before his death in 2014, The Self-Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior still acts as a stark reminder of how far the WWE are capable of going to embarass their own talent, no matter how highly regarded they used to be.
