10 Shocking WWE Babyface Burials You Totally Don't Remember
1. "Amanda Ultimate Warrior"
This is just what they do.
Long before John Cena filled his sandwiches with baloney, fudge and mustard or Drew McIntyre smirked and snorted his way through another expositional Monday Night Raw introduction, the Ultimate Warrior was scraping of half of his face paint and being brought back down to earth by the love of his fans.
Jim Hellwig probably didn't say enough nice things publicly during his complex life, but the last place he should have been revealing his softer side was mere months into his one and only WWE Championship run.
"Love" was the broadly acceptable tone thanks to the interview taking place with Bruce Prichard's permanently puce alter ego, but Warrior lifting a planted child (the titular "Amanda Ultimate Warrior") from the crowd and going all Hallmark was such a backwards way to go with his gimmick.
Speaking of the going backwards, that's where the rest of this unnerving segment went as the cute kid did cartwheels and handstands like that was somehow going to prep the Warrior for a SummerSlam match with Ravishing Rick Rude.
It's hack sh*t to say everybody in the past was a wrong'un, but WWE's top guy didn't exactly look right planting a kiss on her cheek and, from his kneeled position, lecturing Prichard about "Ultimate Love".
