WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (2 Oct)
5. Ultimate Insult
'Unleash Your Warrior' was the call-to-arms from WWE (and Jim Hellwig's widow Dana), as they launched this year's saccharine Susan G Komen campaign. Stood next to some legitimately heroic cancer survivors, Warrior's widow asked those and others stricken with the awful disease to 'Be Strong. Act Bold. Always Believe'.
Oh. Unleash that Warrior.
So don't unleash the Warrior that once infamously commented publicly that 'queering don't make the world work'? Or the one that referred to Todd Grisham and Droz respectively as 'the queer and the cripple'. Or the one who responded to Hurricane Katrina with an astonishing takedown of a city in ruin too long to post here. Or, similarly, the heartless rant he had at Heath Ledger's expense after the actor committed suicide. Both of those diatribes and countless others are available to view in Deadspin's excellent 'The Ultimate Warrior Was An Insane D*ck' thought-piece, bravely penned in the wake of his posthumous deification.
But yes. Unleash your Warrior. Just absolutely not the one the called Bobby Heenan a 'pure two-faced bag of s**t', noting that it was 'too difficult to keep a straight face' talking about his suffering. From cancer.
