10 Unbelievable Wrestling Fan Theories
1. The Original Ultimate Warrior Was Replaced
More of a playground gossip memory than something even the most dense of mutants still believe to this day, no, there weren't two Ultimate Warriors.
It's honestly quite touching how naive fans of a certain age - your writer included! - were to believe it at eight years old or so. No, these heroes of millennial youth weren't injecting themselves with anabolic steroids and drawing the ire of an increasingly meddlesome mainstream media. That can't be true.
The Ultimate Warrior tragically died, perhaps by rescuing the life of a minority he definitely would have deemed worth saving, and was replaced by a skinnier model!
This couldn't have been the real Ultimate Warrior because he was a skinny wimp in comparison! And his hair was too short as well, naive idiots said, too dumb to realise that, were the 'WrestleMania VIII Warrior' an actual different human being, the hair would have been the first thing they'd have copied exactly.
Look, if anybody out there still believes the conspiracy theory, consider this: wouldn't the WWF have simply found a competent Warrior who wasn't an unemployable sh*thead to play the role instead?
