10 Weird Inspirations Behind Famous Wrestling Attires

7. The Ultimate Warrior (He-Man)

In many ways, The Ultimate Warrior looked like a cartoon character come to life from the 1980's. He wasn't alone, because this was exactly the vision that Vince McMahon had for his company. Looking to create larger-than-life personalities, McMahon certainly achieved that with the high-energy, babble-spouting Warrrior. First appearing in 1987, The Ultimate Warrior was instantly pushed as a focal point of the entire WWF. Just behind Hulk Hogan, Warrior was one of the top babyfaces in the company. Throughout his run, he was noted for his almost superhuman strength and mystical ability to draw power from the will of his fans. That's where the cartoon character, He-Man comes into things.

The character of He-Man is a stereotypical babyface in many respects. He rarely instigates rule-breaking, and always fights cleanly. That was a mantra of The Ultimate Warrior, who preached about the ongoing battle between good and evil. He-Man and Warrior also shared that same superhuman strength. Going further, perhaps Warrior was even based on Lion-O from Thundercats, there's certainly a physical resemblance!
