3. He Was A Babyface His Entire WWE Career
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZP5r8tXswc One of the most fascinating things about Warrior is that he spent his entire WWE career (and WCW too) as a babyface. There aren't too many performers that can say that. Even a guy like Rey Mysterio, who has been a babyface for most of his 20 year career, can say that he was a heel at one point when he was in WCW. Warrior's one of the guys that fans could always believe in. They knew that everything that he said was that of a hero. It's why we're sitting here more than 20 years after his prime and reflecting on his legacy as one of the most popular guys ever. Imagine what kind of business a Warrior heel turn would have done? Huge. However, it likely wouldn't have worked that well because he believed in his Warrior persona so much as a hero to the fans. Even if it was pitched to him, it's unlikely that he would have ever gone through with it. That's not who he was. Nobody believed in their character more than the Ultimate Warrior. He even legally changed his name to "Warrior" as proof of that.
