10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 1990

6. Amanda Ultimate Warrior - The Most Awkward Segment In Warrior's History

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAn3rjBpQuw Between the rambling promos that made little sense, the snarling, and the general insanity, it's tough to pick out a single Ultimate Warrior segment that stands out as the most excruciating of them all, but we've managed to find it. It happened on the Brother Love show in June 1990, where Ultimate Warrior was interviewed heading into Summerslam to face Ravishing Rick Rude. The segment started out innocently enough. Brother Love mentioned love to the Warrior, and Warrior countered with "What do you, Brother Love, know about love?" He mentioned that he felt the love that all of his Warriors have for him. Fair enough. What happened next though was weird and, admittedly, a little bit creepy. Warrior called a small girl to the stage, who introduced herself as Amanda Ultimate Warrior. She did little tricks like a cartwheel and a handstand, which would be fine. What made it creepy was Warrior putting his face extremely close to hers and talking to her almost in a sensual way. He was also grunting while Amanda was performing her tricks, and kissed Amanda on the cheek and told her he loved her when she was done. Now, rumors are that Amanda was Jim Hellwig's niece, which makes it a tad less creepy (although this is an unconfirmed rumor), but nevertheless, anytime a wrestler approaches To Catch a Predator territory, it's not a good thing.
