WWE: 10 Talking Points Of The Ultimate Warrior's Career And Legacy

2. Mending Bridges In 2014

There was bad blood on both sides after Warrior left the WWF in 1996. He went on to bash Vince McMahon on various occasions and Hulk Hogan too. On the WWE side, they shot back with the 'Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior' DVD, an unprecedented smear of the iconic performer. It seemed very unlikely that the relationship would ever be mended. Then in 2013, relations eased, the WWE reached out to Warrior and a discourse was established. Warrior helped promote the WWE 2K14 video game and worked with WWE for a new DVD release, the entertaining 'Ultimate Warrior: Ultimate Collection.' Finally, Ultimate Warrior took his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and had a special moment in the ring on Raw the next night. His comeback to WWE was complete and his history was restored to its rightful status of achievements. Things had came full circle for the star, the WWE superstars could finally acknowledge what a good guy he actually was and how much of an influence he had on the industry. "Icon and friend," Triple H described him as. Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan said "The Ultimate Warrior was my favorite as a kid, and getting to speak to him this weekend was one of my favorite moments. He was so nice to me." The final act of Ultimate Warrior on this earth was to fix his relationship with WWE, ensuring his legacy will continue to be recognised as it should.
