Needless to say, the relationship between The Ultimate Warrior and WWE hasn't always been a smooth one. There was a period, from around 1996-2013, where Warrior and the McMahon family didn't really see eye-to-eye. Given the mended relationship between both parties in 2014, it's likely that WWE would love the whole world to forget about their hatchet job DVD on the man, 'The Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior'. The release was less-than-flattering for Warrior, and has since shown to be less-than-flattering for WWE as a company, who appeared to be selling nothing but sour grapes with the set. On Warrior's side, he always maintained that he was poorly treated during his runs with the company, which is clearly not true. Financially compensated beyond belief for his work as a top babyface in the early-90's, it was Warrior's own arrogance which would lead Vince McMahon to believe his self-appointed star was more hassle than he was worth. Disagreements over appearances and money were at the heart of the problems, but hearing comments from other wrestlers gives the impression that Warrior wasn't exactly popular with his peers when on top.
