8 WWE Champions With Surprisingly Limited Move Sets
3. The Ultimate Warrior
The Ultimate Warrior's recent passing caught the whole world off guard. He had just made up with WWE, went into the Hall of Fame and delivered an impassioned speech on Raw. The timing almost made it seem like Warrior had known the end was near. His passing prompted an outpouring of tributes from fans and colleagues, but remembering him for something he wasn't would be unfair to his legacy and his memory. The Ultimate Warrior was a lot of great things, but a wrestler with a wide variety in his move set was not one of them. Like so many other icons of his time, Warrior relied on the theatrical aspects of pro wrestling to get over with the crowd. He relied on his energy, exciting ring entrance, power moves and promos that often seemed like they were from the mind of an alien cult-leader. He might not have had the widest variety of exciting moves, but The Ultimate Warrior meant a lot to a lot of people, and he will continue to be a favorite among wrestling fans for a long time to come.
