Standing out than the rest, Ultimate Warrior became one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWE (back then in the WWF). During his run from the 1980s-90s, Warrior became known for high high energy when running down to the ring with his music hits, shaking the ropes during his entrance, his signature move, the Gorilla Press Drop and the Big Splash, which seems that Warrior would be one the only non-heavyset built wrestler to use it.

Before reaching high status to become a main eventer in the WWE, Warrior became popular when he became a two-time Intercontinental Champion by defeating the Honky Tonk Man (Roy Farris) (within 32 seconds at the first ever Summerslam in 1988) and Ravishing Rick Rude.

Warrior is now retired.

One of the longest-running pro wrestling myths states that Jim Hellwig is actually the second wrestler to portray the Ultimate Warrior, as the original died of steriod use in the 80s.
