WWE's Spin On The Upcoming Ultimate Warrior DVD
Submitted by Daniel Pena on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 at 12:34 AM EST





In the latest issue of Smackdown! Magazine (with Chris Benoit holding the US Title on the cover), there is an article/review about what you can expect from the forthcoming Ultimate Warrior DVD to be released by WWE on Tuesday, September 27, 2005.

It looks this DVD will be a bury-job on Warrior for the most part, the first time WWE has buried a wrestler on a home video release about him. Also, this DVD will be a six hour double-disc DVD, not a three hour single-disc DVD and it will retail for approximately $30.00. Silvervision.co.uk and Highspots.com had the DVD previously listed with only five matches and at under $20, so some may have feared that it would only be one disc, but that is not the case as it will be two discs jam-packed with hours upon hours of nothing but Ultimate Warrior footage.

Anyways, here is the complete article from Smackdown! Magazine.

The Highs and Lows Of A WWE Icon

Available: September 27
Suggest Retail Price: $29.95

One of the most enigmatic figures in WWE history adored by many, but not highly regarded within the industry. At one time the most popular superstar on the planet, his bizarre behavior assured it could not last.

The Warrior DVD pulls no punches dishing all the dirt on Jim 'Warrior' Hellwig. Featuring Interviews from Vince, Hogan, Heenan, DiBase and Slaughter.

From his early days as a Blade Runner, to the Dingo Warrior to his WWE breakthrough in 1987, viewers are taken through every step of the Warrior experience. What makes the DVD compelling for fans is the other side of the story that was not seen by the public at the time. Warrior’s colleagues tell the story of a man who was unstable, unprofessional and ungrateful for the chance given to him by WWE. Despite his charisma Warrior failed to attain the success many felt he was destined to, and this DVD analyzes those reasons.

Included in the DVD are the Ultimate Challenge vs. Hogan at Mania 6, his IC title win over Honky Tonk at Summerslam, and the retirement match vs. Savage.

Unlike many DVD tributes which sugarcoat things to glorify their subjects, The Self Destruction of Ultimate Warrior is a brutally honest take on one of sports entertainment’s biggest stars. For any fan of Warrior or WWE from this era it is nothing short of a gem.
