5 WWE Superstars who masked their mediocre wrestling skills with charisma

2: Ultimate Warrior

Ultimate Warrior’s moveset was very limited but his unique charisma helped him get a main event push.

Ultimate Warrior was one of the top draws in wrestling in the late 80’s. His matches with Hulk Hogan in that era are fondly remembered as classics, but not on account of being wrestling clinics but for all the pageantry surrounding the build ups.

What kind of person Warrior was outside the ring set aside, inside the ring he was one dimensional. His offence was so limited that there’s absolutely no chance that he would get over in today’s WWE. His finishing move, The Warrior Splash, was so simple that it wouldn’t even be considered a signature today.

However, the reason Warrior was pushed to the moon and even went over Hogan was his charisma. Warrior masked his lack of in-ring ability with boatloads of charisma, energy, unique promos and squashing jobbers on a regular basis. His ring entrance was also something completely unique to the Warrior and pumped up the crowd from the word go.
