Why are you working out with RVD? Everyone knows he is always praising the virtues of pot on his website. I thought you were against drug abuse. Just go back and read your Heath Ledger post in which you said his child was better off with him dead since he used prescriptive drugs. Let’s see if you have the balls to post my comments you hypocrite. Are you going back to wrestling because your public speaking career self-destructed? Also, how are you different from Hogan and Flair who have continued to wrestle beyond their prime?
[Reply]
Great to see you back. Great to see you breaking a sweat in the gym too. It shows how much discipline and determination you have to come back better than ever. This is how a return should be done! Yes I am talking to you Ric Flair, Yes I am talking to you Roddy Piper! Show them how it’s done Warrior.
It’s cool that Rob Van Dam was there to see you. I guess those rumours are true afterall!
I hope I look like that when I am 49 Warrior!
Keep busting those blood vessels! Feel the burn!

P.S A message to RVD - Hi Rob! It would be great to see you post here man. I am a big fan of yours too and I can’t wait to see you back in the ring some time soon! Thanks for the memories man. We all appreciate you busting your ass. Take Care.
[Reply]
RVD to make a comeback with the Warrior??!!!
[Reply]
You’re doing very well, Warrior. Each day is just one step at a time.
[Reply]
Great pics Warrior! You look in great shape as it is, so June 25 (and beyond?!) should be something special. It’s really good to see you looking so happy to be in the ring again. Hope everything goes well with the training…It can’t hurt having RVD around either.
Feel The Power!
[Reply]
Warrior.Hello.What a great insight view you have given us.This comeback will silence all of the HHHs out there.I know you will be ripped to shreds with arms the size of most peoples legs.You have given us so many great memories and now this.Wow.Thanks a million.

[Reply]
You look a gazillion percent awesome! I’m anxiously awaiting the training videos!
[Reply]
thanks for the inspiration over the years Warrior. Pro wrestling is one thing I would love to get into, but my size is what would kill me.
Keep up the training man. I’m sure you havent lost your touch.
[Reply]
Are you going to wear a wig when you return?
[Reply]
Keep working hard Warrior, you’re truly an inspiration! Can’t wait to see the return!
[Reply]
Hey Warrior. Big fan here and member of your awesome workout kit. Love to see you back. One thing i read on a blog with over a hundred comments about what you will look like when you return. Simply because you have short hair. Most recommend you should consider putting on hair exentions for a least that 1 match. Ultimate Warrior wouldn’t be Warrior without the long WILD hair. People in the blog were saying you will look more like Sting with your short hair. I hope not, Sting sucks, lol. Can’t wait to see your return. You really kicking butt on the net.
[Reply]
I cant stop checking this site!
[Reply]
great to see RVD with you. I’d be interested to know what you think of him as a wrestler and a person and also orlando jordan? As two people who have had trouble with mcmahon and his wrestling organisation, i think youd get a lot less of an unbiased and more understanding of your stance over the years. anyway from Liverpool,England. i wish the best of luck to a childhood icon who has always captivated me.
[Reply]
Hi WARRIOR. How you’ve been? We’ve written to each other before but you probably wouldn’t remember with all the fans you have & besides it was when i was 18 years old & now im 30, & still a true die hard fan. I always kept WARRIOR in my life, heart & soul. The WARRIOR in me always helped me in struggles of life thanks to reading your missions & statements. We,ve grown with you. I for some reason knew you had to return in the ring. I have made my family & friends aware of you since i was small & they’ve become hard fans, even my 6 year old son. Anyway thanks for helping our youth with you college speeches, & always know that you have a true die hard WARRIOR family here in Ridgewood, Queens New York, & we always beleive.
Love, Marero family
[Reply]
With all this training out there with RVD, thinking about doing a Van Terminator to Orlando? Maybe a frog splash?
After the wrestling thing is done with, have you thought about running for public office?
[Reply]
wow you look so intense can’t wait for your comeback warrior
[Reply]
Cool
[Reply]
Good luck with your return match Warrior
[Reply]
i wish i had a way to go to barcelona to see you fight for the heavyweight title…this is more than wrestling.. biggie and pac is gona.. mike tyson retire.. dont know what prince doing.. you are the only hero the world has left and we as warrior fans would like to cherish the momment that u hear because we might not get to see you again.. if not barcelona if you are on a card at wrestlemania quarter of a century i would be there hopefully with other warriors follwers.. on some real stuff thank you for the memories
[Reply]
MMM,this year looks very promising Axl Rose,Ghostbusters and now THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, my childhood idols are preparing their respective comebacks in one way or another, this is totally amazing. Wish you all the best Mr. Warrior im a true fan of yours and i have Always believe in the POWER OF THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR**.
[Reply]
Finaly My Kids get to see a real wrestling hero, like I did as a kid. Godd luck Warrior
[Reply]
I dunno, seeing pictures of you training with RVD is so surreal. I still think I’m having a prolonged dream that began when I did my weekly typing of ultimate warrior in the yahoo news section and it said Warrior to Return to the Ring.. And that roundly Italian guy, I could tell by the pic he’s a funny guy, LOll.. I’m lovin’ the Warrior knee pads..
[Reply]
hi mr,warrior habe been a fan since 9yrs old now im 29.im from VENEZUELA here are too many wrestling fans too.i think IF you are going to spain there will be a lots of spains fans…our lenguaje its spanish.by the way its very difficult that your page can be traslated on spanish languaje to understand your philosophies a bit better? Always a believer! i cry when a saw the videos of you returning.i have a lots of u.s. friends thats hates you i have meeting them by playing wwe smackdown vs raw 2008 in i hace a created warrior indentically to you and im a great player so when a ibeat them with mi warrior the begin to insult me! ha ha ha

It was an amazing experience having the Ultimate Warrior at the School of Hard Knocks. Quite a surprise indeed. The Warrior will make an Ultimate comeback into the world of wrestling as he still has the energy that most wrestlers do not have. Warrior has that electrifying energy that is ready to explode in Barcelona Spain. We here at the School of Hard Knocks wish Warrior lots of luck. Rob Van Dam was awesome as well helping Warrior to get into ring conditioning. Special thanks to the American Sports University in allowing us to give Warrior and Van Dam the red carpet treatment, along with the bump guys Ryan Taylor and Brandon Gatson.
Sincerely,
Jesse Hernandez
School of Hard Knocks

Hell ya, thank you for the video! That made my day, I read about it when I was at work unfortunalty youtube.com is blocked. So I was looking forward all day to get home and check it out. Well worth the wait. I am getting more and more excited for your match Warrior! The last time I saw you in person was when you beat Andre ar a house show in Salt Lake City. I am glad to see that I am not alone as far as being a fan of yours. Why should I be ? I will not just sit here and allow people in Stanford to tell me who I can and cannot like. ALways Belive!

The post by tommy above does raise a good point. Why RVD? his connection with drug use is highly documented. Mind you it is only marijuana and it seems that RVD has not put himself in the position of Ledger and many other hollywood stars. And i also ask why are you wrestling at the age of 49 when you have stated that other wrestlers at this age should hang up their boots and “grow up.” Is the difference motivation: as in WHY you are wrestling. I’m waiting to hear some reasons as to why you have decided to step into the ring again. As a former pro wrestler myself (granted, on the indy circuit)and a current academic, family man and teacher, stepping into the ring again seems out of the question. mind you, i do not have the star power to make my message heard. I hope that the reason you are stepping back in the ring is for the right reason. If it is a simple matter of a huge payout, I will be seriously dissapointed.
[Reply]
Dear Warrior,
I am very excited about your return to the wrestling ring. I am so happy you are returning with the intensity matched by no other. If Ric Flair can wrestle til age 60, I bet you could do it til age 70+ and still look good. Your body is in mint shape it seems. Good luck and see ya soon!

Hi Mr. Warrior! I’m a big fan of yuoi from Italy, sorry for my english. I would want to know, as you will enter in the ring the 25 june in Barcelona? You will have the face paint? You will arrive running? And with your classic and energetic entrance theme (called unstable)? And the ring gear? Sorry, I know that I must be patient, but I’m very curious, I can’t wait to see you again fighting in the ring!!! I’m sure that you still got it and I hope that you will remain in the business for a long time, because the warriors need you! Always believe!!!
[Reply]
All that i can say is O.W.N.
We are all right behind you Warrior. Kick Orlando’s arse
[Reply]
While the truth may never be known, a comeback is probably not for financial reasons. Once a wrestler, always a wrestler and some become infatuated with the popularity of their youth. This is not only an issue with wrestling, it occurs in other areas of entertainment. Ocassionally there are exceptions, but for the most part, a wrestlers popularity is decided by the promoter/promotion. Hogan was over because of his crowd appeal, not because of his in ring skills. Forming an opinion of a wrestler is along the lines of hating Elmer Fudd for trying to kill Bugs Bunny. While he may go over in Spain, I can’t see a return of any impact Stateside. Good luck!!
[Reply]
Just wanna say jaun manuel abreu’s comment rocked, that is so cool how he stands by Warrior against his warrior hater friends. Reminds me of myself in grade school..
And Jesse Hernandez, your words brought tears to my eyes.. There’s just a sadness that hits me knowing he’s done there at your school. Lol, of course, he has to leave and move on to the next step. Nevertheless, there’s a sadness to it. If I was at that school, working with Warrior, it’d just be overwhelming for me when he left..
*And to Kris, Warrior has already made clear in the past that he’s still capable of wrestling.. I guess you assumed because he hadn’t come back, that it was all BS. Anyway, all your other questions, he’s answered them so many times in so many beautiful ways, all you have to do is read the posts on his site (some may not be there anymore). And that’s why your question is so stupid, just a typical warrior hater question, like ‘why do you hate gays, warrior, when you wear pink underware feel up on men in the ring?’ It’s like, you didn’t bother to read his writings on what he means be queering don’t work, and just waste your time. It’s like why, with your stupidity, are you even coming in here?
[Reply]
looks like we might see allot more moves in the ring now that rvd is training with the warrior
[Reply]
They say anything can happen in the WWE,in wrestling, in life man. Just when I thought the Ultimate Warrior would remain a past and fierce memory, only viewed again in video tapes (again and again) to relive my best and most tresured memories of how me and countless others became wrestling fans in our childhoods, Mr. Warrior, the Ultimate warrior returns!! This is truly one moment that brings me back (and maybe for Mr. Warrior 2 steps forward). I don’t even care if its in Spain in another organization for one night but the thought does linger and always will about Warrior on WWE TV yet one more time!! OK maybe im ahead of myself and others, maybe thats a thought people will entertain and take to our graves locked up in a dream… But like I said anything is possible, so I’m sure the many will hang on to this one momentous moment and hold it for all its worth when the time comes that the Ultimate Warrior returns to the ring.. The possibilities are endless and best of luck in your return match! ( by the way I don’t think he’s gonna wear a wig nor extensions, in all logic, the intensity ppl talk about will be there but with a slightly new look like in the more things change, the more they stay the same.)
[Reply]
Its great to see you make a comeback for this match.I just wished it could be with your Old Partner Sting no offence to Orlando Jordan but to be able to end (if it is)your career with the guy you started with it could be just what TNA needs for that jumpstart to catch Vince.
[Reply]
heat, i am not a Warrior hater, and as i mentioned, i am not familiar with all of his thought. what i was trying to say is that with the star power that the character of the ultimate Warrior holds with wrestling fans, i hope that the return is for more than a payout. While the brand of Conservatism is too brash for most people to be able to handle I agree with what I have heard about his thought. This is coming from an academic who enjoys the readings of Nietzcshe, who also has a gruff style of proposing his ideas. My question is not stupid, just misunderstood, and probably should be taken in the context of a message i left on the blog of the first video. The worlds need of a strong (and i do not mean strictly in a physical sense)hero figure is huge, and I simply hope that the return of the Ultimate Warrior persona carries with it the weight that it could potentially hold. so once again, not a Warrior hater, and by the way, i do understand why “queering does not work”…Warrior is not the only man who has studied the great books of the Western world, not that the study of such thought is required to understand such simple notions as that. What also must be understood by those that misunderstand what i am trying to say is that, at age 35, I am not the star-crazed Ultimate warrior fan i was when i was a little boy, although still a fan and interested to see what he is capable of accomplishing in the ring when the time comes to face the new challenge. I am more interested in what and how the new stage will be used to unleash the hero figure that he is and in what way the hero will be unleashed.
[Reply]
If I’m not mistaking I believe The School of Hard Knocks is where you began your training to become a wrestler many years ago. Nice to see you went back to your roots in order to make this amazing return. Good luck with everything!
[Reply]
Will you be dawning the trademark colored face paint? If so, that will bring back some good old memories. Good luck with training, and your comeback Mr Warrior. I am looking forward to seeing video of it, as a lifetime Warrior fan right here.
[Reply]
Great to see you back! Keep up the hard work. Train the bread and butter basics hard! Master them!
I wouldn’t worry about the short hair, it fits with your new look, I like the music too. It could be the beginning of something special, who know where it could lead.
Thanks for keeping us posted, I’ll be staying tuned.
All the best!
Nick.
[Reply]
Tried to explain to my 16 year old son how it was like when you hit the WWF you were heads and tails above all the others wrestling around the world . From the beginning — The Blade Runners to The Warrior were THE BEST WRESTLER !
All i can say WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG !!
Thanks and can’t wait for the match.
Maybe TNA should be the next stop and if you get there you can get the Stinger back on the weight benches again .
[Reply]
hi mr.warrior
i’ve been a fan of yours all my life
i’m 16 years old from enlgland and i’m hoping that one day i can be just like u
can’t wait 2 c u back in the ring
ur my favourite wrestler of all time and a living legend
good luck
[Reply]
ive been a fan for many years and i think this is the first time that i cant keep your return outa my head regardless anywere you go even the states or out to all of us your one of the top greant that they had i just wish i had more of your matches like i had before wen i was younger kick ass on your return warrior……
[Reply]
Warrior, keep up the hard work man! I’ve got into working out again after a few years layoff and it’s inspiring to see you getting back into the swing of things. Every rep you do I’m right there with ya man!
[Reply]
Hey Warrior. Glad I could finally have the opportunity to type you a letter.I just wanted to tell you welcome back.It really bothered me when you left the ring back in 1998.I couldn`t stand the fact that when you left, Hulk Hogan stayed in the business and actually entered the WWE like he was spoon fed or something.Don`t get me wrong, he is a huge icon but to be honest, I didn`t like him like I like you. After you beat him in Wrestlemania 6, I felt in my heart you changed the face of professional wrestling forever. You are a good person Warrior, and I know alot of people missed you and now that you are back, you have made the people who do like you,feel better.Heck maybe this comeback can lead to bigger and better things.I could see the ring annoucer saying this in a few months”and his opponent, from parts unknown,weighing in at 270 lbs,the WWE heavyweight champion of the world THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR. I would love to see you back in the WWE one more time.Well anyways The Warriors are happy you have returned. Thankyou.
[Reply]
good to see you back.i hope this all works out.who knows maybe all this publicity could lead to a match up at wwe survivor series then singles match at wrestlemania.prob wont happen but could be warrior,macho man,stone cold vs vince shane and hogan.then you vs vince at wrestlemania in steel cage.im sure you got one big match left in you on biggest stage.after all look at flair.ah we can all but dream.
[Reply]
The very first match I ever watched was Warrior against Rude for the Intercontinental belt and it was an amazing match , the pleasure you have given me over the years of watching your matches is unmatched . After watching your Shoot interview I realise you are highly eloquent as well and a straight talking man . My question is which is your favourite book you,ve ever read and will your book be available in the uk ??? ( i darn well hope so !!! )Rob from Wales in the UK

[Reply]
Feel the power! Agghhhhhh!! Load up the rocket fuel and assume the controls Warrior this is gonna be one hell of a ride. Inspired by the myth of the warrior in my younger years, can’t seem to grow out of it. Not a big fan of wrestling but huge fan of the Ultimate Warrior. All my grown up mates are waiting with bated breath for the return of the big man. Agghhhhhhhhh!!!
[Reply]
mr. warrior, why don’t you strike a deal with the nwa, i am sure they will bow down to every request you have, and i know they would want you to be nwa champion, and you could show vince, how valuable you are by helping the nwa go world-wide once again.
[Reply]
All of you look so happy to be training together. (Now that sounded weird!)
But especially Jesse…
How did you like the new facility?
Are you going to guest teach in the future? That’s what I’m talking about!
Love,
The Holliday Hellraisers
