Paid Members air_raid Posted July 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 So are there any decent matchups for him if he does come back to compete? Â Decent matchups?? The man hasn't wrestled in ten years, and in his prime he wasn't exactly the safest of guys to work with. What would he be like without the strength he once had and ten years of ring rust? Â I understand what the thread is about ya nobber, but he was obviously referencing the game inclusion in his question that was already mentioned. Sarcastic response not always required eh. Â If we're going to get all sensitive about warranted sarcasm for someone completely missing the point, I expect there'll be tears shed over "smart arse" and "nobber."

PSF Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Aim sarcasm at me all ya like pal, but those types of responses are shit arn't they, when a simple "no mate" would suffice. Â Anyways, I was never a massive Warrior fan when I was a kid, but when he came back a few years back at NWE I was buzzing. Not sure that we will see anything other than this appearance, but it will open up a few doors and a HOF indcuction is now more likely to be on the cards.

DannRead Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Colour me naive but hasn't Warrior already been in a WWE game before? That All-Stars arcadey game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Probably no different. Exciting buildup though. Perhaps the wishlist should be labelled "wrestlers you want to see injured soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were done through the gaming company. Warrior would sign with THQ and didn't deal with WWE. The big story is that Warrior has signed WWE's developer and is doing promotional work for WWE. Including the press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wolf Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Warrior going over Punk would be my favourite moment in the history of history, hopefully no selling the GTS, Anaconda Vice and Punk's lame elbow from the top rope. Â Realistically, I'd settle for him going into the Hall of Fame. A cheeky wee Rumble appearance would be awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 He did work for NWE, and he had one of the shittest matches I've ever seen with Orlando Jordan. Â If I hadn't seen that, and with this news, I'd probably anticipate the potential on screen return of a legend to WWE. With that match, and the fact that I wasn't around for the nostalgia kick it would provide to you older guys, the idea of Warrior as a featured star on WWE programming fills me with dread. I'd be okay with a Raw 1000 esque one-shot though, surely he could run through a decent two minute match with Heath Slater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 14, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 Didn't Warrior tear his quad or something stepping out of the curtain? It wasn't a full on Triple H job, but he tore something and lipped to the fucking if I recall. I remember some comedy injury occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have no idea, but booking a 20 minute match with Orlando Jordan dooms it to disaster, injury or no injury. Also, whoever booked the finish needs shooting. Haven't watched the match in a long time, but IIRC Warrior gets the 3 count after TAKING a superplex.

PSF Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 He beat OJ with the running shoulder block. You can't blame them booking a 20 min match, must have been looking to get there monies worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Ah okay, must have been a near fall. Definitely happened though. Â Warrior was never the type of wrestler to go 20 minutes though. He was a big flashy power guy, they should have booked to his strengths. Much like the debate about Goldberg the other day.

Captain Wolf Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It's got to be a difficult one to book though. If I'm going to that show, I'm going to see the Warrior, they probably felt obliged to have him work longer than 3 minutes. Albeit they probably went too far in the other direction.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 14, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 I think Warrior was the one who demanded the 20 minute match. Fuck knows why, though. Chris Masters was on the card and said a load of wrestlers had to go out after the Warrior match because it was so poorly received. People hated it in the arena. Â As far as current day, all Warrior would need to do is an appearance where he saves someone on a mini segment at WrestleMania. I love the Warrior, but I honestly dont want to see him wrestle. That's if the relationship still lasts in time for Mania. Warrior is a legit looney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 Fuck knows why I thought that Orlando match was 2003 when Jordan hadn't even debuted for WWE by then. PMS or something. Â He did work for NWE, and he had one of the shittest matches I've ever seen with Orlando Jordan. Â That's saying something, even if you were saying it was one of the shittest Orlando matches you'd ever seen. Â With that match, and the fact that I wasn't around for the nostalgia kick it would provide to you older guys, Â Hah! 1998 Warrior was my limit, thanks. Â I'd be okay with a Raw 1000 esque one-shot though, surely he could run through a decent two minute match with Heath Slater. Â Now we've gone so far as to be expecting Warrior, who normally needed carrying, to be the one to drag Heath Slater to "decent"? I mean, Warrior was OK, but he's no Sid.
