#3 Vince talks about The Ultimate Warrior

The rift between The Ultimate Warrior and WWE isn't exactly a secret, as WWE put out a DVD titled "The Self Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior" in 2005. The presentation saw various WWE personalities, including Vince McMahon, talking about Warrior's career, with some taking jibes at his in-ring work and mic-skills. Around a decade later, the two parties got together and left the real-life feud in the past. WWE honored The Ultimate Warrior with a Hall of Fame induction in 2014, with the WWE legend headlining the class.

A tearful Vince McMahon paid a heartfelt tribute to Warrior in his 2-minute address. Fans of Warrior found joy in the fact that he deservingly bagged a Hall of Fame spot in WWE before leaving this world.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
