WWE News: Ultimate Warrior Claims to Have Turned Down WWE Hall of Fame Offer

WWE News: Ultimate Warrior Claims to Have Turned Down WWE Hall of Fame Offer

Posted: Jan 23rd 2012 By: CMBurnham

The world or professional wrestling is filled with some crazy characters who might borderline on lunacy, and you probably know that Ultimate Warrior is one of them.

The former WWF Champion is well-known for his Internet rants, and most recently, for his ridiculous online feud with Kevin Nash that I don?t think anyone really cared about.

And?what do you know??Warrior is back on another Internet tirade, this time making another bold claim on Twitter concerning Vince McMahon.

From WrestleZone.com:

Former WWE star The Ultimate Warrior has posted the following on Twitter:

"The Ultimate Warrior @UltimateWarrior Follow

RT @darren0411 WWE HOF? I doubt it...many more much worthy of the honor." Yeah, and none w/balls to turn VKM invite down like I already did."

"The Ultimate Warrior @UltimateWarrior Following

RT @darren0411 UW never respected by.peers to be in the HOF you need respect by peers" One peer's respect decides ALL - VKM. And I said no."

"The Ultimate Warrior @UltimateWarrior Following

Achievements worth honoring should not also be shit upon by the very people who desire bestowing honor. That is shit this Honoree won't eat."


Honestly, I can?t be sure what to make of Warrior?s comments and whether or not they?re actually true.

We have seen some wrestling legends, like the Honky Tonky Man, turn down WWE Hall of Fame invitations in the past for a variety of different reasons. But this is the Ultimate Warrior we?re talking about here.

The guy has developed a reputation for being completely out of touch with reality, and he says some things on Twitter (or any other place online) that make you wonder how he is able to even get out of bed in the morning and put his pants on.

I wouldn?t doubt that, if given the chance, Ultimate Warrior would turn down a Hall of Fame invite once again like he reportedly did in 2010, because I certainly wouldn?t want to be in the Hall of Fame of a company that had the nerve to release a DVD entitled The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior on me, either.

But considering that this latest claim is coming from Warrior himself, we really can?t be sure if this guy is telling the truth or if he may he referring to his refusal to join the Hall of Fame in 2010.

We don?t really know what the truth is, but the bottom line is that?no matter who?s doing what in the situation?I think we all realize that the chances of Ultimate Warrior ever being elected into the WWE Hall of Fame are about as good as the chances of Heath Slater becoming WWE Champion.
