The Ultimate Warrior: 10 Most Shocking Controversies

8. Hurricane Katrina Wiping Out New Orleans

Hurricane Katrina is planted firmly in most of our minds as arguably the biggest post-9/11 tragedy to hit the United States. It destroyed New Orleans, Lousiana not just physically, but also economically. What does it say about Warrior's world view that he didn't think this was a big deal? Warrior had this to say about the disaster which befell the people of New Orleans, "If we could be shown what general conditions they lived in before the hurricane, we would see that had little respect for what they did have. "They never gave a care for order, cleanliness or function before, but now that they can get someone's attention who will possibly take over the responsibility of their life for them, they go on these tirades about how their life has been ruined. Their lives were already in ruin €” self ruin." You can decide on what he means by "they" yourself. It's excruciatingly ironic that his Hall of Fame induction ended up taking place in New Orleans given his comments about the city. It was a mostly international crowd at the ceremony luckily for Warrior, you get a feeling the locals may not have been too fond of him after these comments - "They claim New Orleans was (is) a great city. Maybe once it was, I don't know. Too, maybe it's just always been corrupt as it has been for years and years. Truth is, today, it was nothing more than a pornographic cesspool of decadence and depravity."
