First things first, I am was and still am a HUGE Ultimate Warrior fan. I got back into wrestling from 1997-2002 (I still watch it here and there but no longer consider myself a fan any more) and cheered for wrestlers like The Rock before he was big all the way up until he left (probably the single biggest reason why I lost interest in WWE again). Before that time I was a WWF fan from 1987-1993 and I absolutely loved the Ultimate Warrior. Bar none, he is my favorite wrestler of all time, as short a moment in time as it was.

I state this to make it known that I was extremely excited when I heard that WWE was releasing an Ultimate Warrior DVD, scouring the Internet for news on a daily basis to learn more about what was being released regarding my favorite wrestler of all time. I knew that this was not going to be any love-fest by the WWE brain trust, but I didn’t care. Just the ability to see the warrior in the DVD format and have others talk about the individual that made moments of my sometimes crappy childhood filled with joy… it took me back to happy moments that you cannot easily feel again.

After having rushed out to pick up “The Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior” and watched the 1.5 hour special about his career in the ring, I find that it was a very FAIR assessment of Warrior’s wrestling legacy. Other Ultimate Warrior fans have written online that this DVD badmouths the former Mr. Hellwig and puts him in a light that isn’t completely accurate. In a situation of “he said she said” usually the truth lies somewhere in between so I am sure that this DVD isn’t 100% accurate, but my overall impression of this disc is that it is very FAIR (and again, I remind you that I was about as a big a fan as there is of The Ultimate Warrior).

Starting off with the origins of the Ultimate Warrior from Rock to Dingo Warrior to Ultimate Warrior, this DVD speaks of UW’s quick rise from a house show wrestler to beating the Honky Tonk Man in 30 seconds at SummerSlam 1988 in Madison Square Garden. Following Warrior’s rise in popularity, the UW does the unthinkable on April 1, 1990 in Toronto, Canada at WrestleMania VI as he CLEANLY beats Hulk Hogan in the middle of the ring in what is the penultimate moment of my wrestling fan “career”. From this point on we learn how the Warrior defended that very title as best as he could (and I truly believe the Warrior did the best he could do), until he eventually lost it to Sgt. Slaughter and arguably then had the best match of his career with Randy Savage at WrestleMania VII. The Ultimate Warrior’s 1st run with the WWF came to an end in 1991 when (as the WWF and Vince claim – Warrior himself says this isn’t true) during the SummerSlam PPV Warrior demanded more money or he wouldn’t perform. After a 7 month hiatus we see The Ultimate Warrior make his incredibly shocking return at the end of WM VIII to begin his 2nd run with the WWF which would only last a mere 8 months or so. Warrior’s last 2 runs at wrestling for major promotions are covered in his 4 month 1996 WWF run and his 3 month 1998 WCW run (he hasn’t wrestled in a big promotion since that time).

Throughout the history of UW’s wrestling career we get comments from Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff, Ted Dibiase, Bobby Heenan, Gene Okerlund, Jim Ross, Hulk Hogan, Bruce Pritchard, Jerry Lawler, Christian, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair and many others. To say that these fellow wrestlers put Warrior in a bad light is like saying that rotten eggs smell bad. It’s quite evident that Jim (most of these guys refuse to call him Warrior unless it’s with their eyes in the back of their heads) wasn’t very popular in the back room, and never will be.

But as I have said numerous times in this review, IT’S FAIR.

You generally get the impression when someone is lying, and it’s pretty evident that everyone on this DVD is speaking from their hearts. They truly believe what they are telling the camera about the Ultimate Warrior and it is highly entertaining to say the least.

As an individual that prides themselves on knowing as much as possible about The Ultimate Warrior, I learned new things about the man from Parts Unknown, more so than anything else, how little he was respected in the back room by “the boys”. As much as wrestling is for the fans, when it comes to the end of the day, the most important thing is how you interact with your little wrestling family in the back room. The fans you see maybe 20 minutes a night, your fellow wrestlers the entire rest of the day. It’s a shame that as loved as the Warrior was from 1989-1991, he was so disliked by everyone else.

If you read any of Warrior’s posts on his web site (ultimatewarrior.com) he’ll tell you over and over again how much he can’t stand the WWF and that they are liars, but when you have so many people saying 1 thing and 1 other person saying another, you can’t help but think that maybe the problem isn’t everyone else. Mr. Hellwig (sorry, WARRIOR) would have you believe that Vince has “brainwashed” his entire stable, but after watching this DVD you will probably feel otherwise.

My only complaint is that as good as 1.5 hour feature is, this collection could have been even more. It’s quite clear that no “double dipping” will be done for another Ultimate Warrior DVD, so why not have matches on here like Warrior/Slaughter from Royal Rumble 1991, the complete Super Posedown from RR1989 with Rick Rude, more interview segments like when he gets hits by Honky Tonk in summer 1988, Rude at WMV, Hercules at WMIV, the whole Jake feud in 1991 and so forth? There are a handful of matches on here including the 2 big ones with Hogan at WMVI (sadly Jesse Ventura’s commentary had to be cut out) and Savage at WMVII, but this set of choices feels lacking.

Overall, a very entertaining DVD that any Warrior fan should take a look at, and any wrestling fan that wants to learn more about the Ultimate Warrior shouldn’t ignore (especially if you are ignorant of the story of Warrior).

**** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Not quite the hatchet job it has been made out to be, this documentary actually does get across what a huge star Ultimate Warrior became, before his 15 minutes ran out. However, in the last third or so, it does become rather unrelenting negative in its portrayal of the guy, and it would’ve been better if he had been given the opportunity to give his side of the story.

Then again, having read some of the nonsense he’s spewed in recent years, he does seem a little ‘off’, and it would’ve probably been quite difficult to get anything worthwhile from him. If anything, having him rant about himself on this DVD might’ve ended up making him look worse.

A must-buy for any wrestling fan who grew up in the 1980s.
