WWE Where Are They Now: 5 things you didn't know about The Warlord

WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior & The Warlord

The Ultimate Warrior (Jim Hellwig) is better known for his bizarre promos and fast paced ring entrances than his technical prowess. Although he did have amazing matches against fellow Hall of Famers like Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, he also made some enemies backstage, as evidenced by WWE's Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior DVD. Coupled with a post-wrestling career move into the world of extreme right-wing politics, the Warrior is undoubtedly one of the most controversial figures in wrestling history.

Don't count The Warlord among Warrior's many critics, however. In fact, he doesn't have a bad thing to say about him and instead has high praise for the former WWE Champion.

He confided in Sean Mooney,

"I loved Jimmy [Warrior]. I always said, 'Jimmy is Jimmy. Let him be that way.' If you understand him that way, than you'll know what he's about. Jimmy was a different kind of planet person."

The two became close on a European tour when The Warlord saw The Ultimate Warrior stand up for the rest of the locker room,

"Jimmy had a good heart. He wanted a lot for all the boys. He did his best. When we went over there, they were trying to screw the boys and Jimmy stuck with me and tried to get everybody's money. He already had his money. He didn't have to do anything. He didn't have to care, but he did. He said, 'I'm not doing any more shows unless these guys all get paid,' which I felt was great because he didn't have to. He was a big Superstar already. He didn't have to."

The Warlord continued,

"Jimmy was a good person. He was a nice guy. He really was a nice guy. He was different, yes. He was different, but he did have a good heart. He was for the boys - he always was for the boys."

The WWE legend also had high praise for Tito Santana, "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, and Bret "Hitman" Hart.
