Ultimate Warrior's 11 Losses - From Cleanest To Screwiest

9. Vs. Dino Bravo - House Show June 29, 1988

In the sort of politicised, dopamine-releasing result that doesn't really happen anymore, because Vince McMahon is a lunatic, Dino Bravo scored an ultra-rare pinfall win over the Ultimate Warrior in his home city of Montreal.

The idea is, or was, to get the local hero over in their hometown to delight the fans - people like to be happy - and to reaffirm to those fans that belief is a good thing to have. Remember all those times your favourite sports teams lost derbies, and your heart got broken, and you arrive at...

...Vince McMahon's preferred method of making you feel like sh*t!

Vince McMahon last year told investors that he is going to have to "reimagine" live events because they are "antiquated". Perhaps they wouldn't be out of fashion, were he not so cruel.

"Daddy, why did my hero lose?"

"Because you and I are from X city and we all smell, son. We all smell."

Regardless, Vince used to get it, and he got it here by booking Bravo to go over Warrior when Warrior was on the ascent to superstardom. To protect his investment, Bravo used the ropes for leverage to eke out the three.

Clean rating: These jeans can go another month without being washed. They're only jeans. There's another layer between them and your foul, sweaty perineum.
