Ultimate Warrior

Bio
Making his debut in 1987, Ultimate Warrior quickly captured the attention of the WWE Universe with his comic book physique, neon face paint and aggressive ring entrance. While most Superstars slowly walked to the squared circle, Warrior sprinted full speed down the entrance ramp and ran circles around the ring before shaking the ropes like a man possessed. The wild Superstar's matches were often as quick as his entrances. At SummerSlam in 1988, the powerful competitor famously defeated The Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontinental Championship in 30 seconds. Legendary Superstars like "Ravishing" Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect also felt the devastating power of Warrior’s Gorilla Press Slam.

Ultimate Warrior's biggest victory, however, occurred at WrestleMania VI in Toronto's SkyDome. In front of 67,000 rabid members of the WWE Universe, Warrior defeated WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan to win his first, and only, WWE Championship. On that night, he achieved the rare feat of holding both the Intercontinental and WWE Titles simultaneously.

As devastating and intense as any Superstar who stepped through the ropes, The Ultimate Warrior may be the most enigmatic man to ever hold the WWE Championship. Hailing from Parts Unknown, he hid his face under a painted mask and spoke in cryptic puzzles, but the considerable impact he had on wrestling is still talked about today.
