5. Inspiring Promos Made Him Stand Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrYwvd6ovCw When wrestling fans think of the Ultimate Warrior they don't think of his matches first. Maybe there are a few that stand out, but part of the appeal of Warrior was his unique interviewing style. We couldn't always understand what Warrior was saying. That's what was cool about it, though. He could spout off these lines about "destructivity" and other things that ten year old me didn't really get, but somehow it worked. Why? It was delivery. It was his presence. It was his unparalleled charisma that nobody could compete with. Watch his speeches at the Hall of Fame on Saturday and then on Monday's Raw. Those speeches were inspiring because we got to see this man in his 50s talking about the love he had for his family as well as how much he loved performing for the fans. Fans loved the Ultimate Warrior for a lot of reasons. His promos may be at the very top of the list.
