The Ultimate Warrior's original WWF run from 1988 to 1991 was legendary for the immense success he experienced in only three and a half years. Despite his poor wrestling skills and often incomprehensible interviews, the Warrior had a look and charisma that connected with wrestling fans and propelled him to the monster babyface push of a lifetime.
The Warrior was seemingly unstoppable: he squashed the Honky Tonk Man in under a minute to win the Intercontinental Title and end Honky's record-setting 14 month reign, spent months bodyslamming and pinning Andre the Giant in 30 second matches on the house show circuit, defeated Hulk Hogan for the WWF Title in the main event of Wrestlemania 6 (becoming the first man to ever hold the WWF and Intercontinental Titles at the same time), then defeated Macho Man Randy Savage in the legendary retirement match at Wrestlemania 7.
Then suddenly, he was gone. No angle, no injury, he just disappeared at the conclusion of his match at Summerslam 1991 and wasn’t seen again for months. For the next seven years, he would repeatedly return, make waves again, and then disappear without a trace once more. This book tells the tale of perhaps the most elusive megastar in wrestling history: the Ultimate Warrior.
This book also contains the bonus feature Tatanka: The Undefeated Native American Superstar!
