WWE History: 8 superstars Vince McMahon apparently couldn't control

#6 The Ultimate Warrior

Warrior was hard to deal with outside the ring

Warrior was seen by many as a replacement for Hulk Hogan. He was pushed to the moon in the main event of WrestleMania 6 when he pinned Hogan in the middle of the ring to win his first WWE title.

A few years later, Warrior was set to feature in a tag team match, teaming up with Hogan to face Slaughter and his partner. Warrior reportedly held Vince for more money just before the match, refusing to wrestle the match if his demands were not met. Vince agreed to the demands but fired Warrior immediately after the match.

Warrior had become one of the biggest stars of the early 90s, and he utilized his backstage pull on Vince on several occasions, which led to the creation of "The self-destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" DVD years later, which was intended as a means to embarrass Warrior in front of the fans. The two parties made up in 2014 when Warrior was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
