Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

The strange career of one of the wrestling world's most controversial figures is explored in this WWE Home Video release focusing on eccentric brawler The Ultimate Warrior. When The Ultimate Warrior thundered into the arena with his signature arm bands in place and face paint indicating he was ready for battle, the roar of the crowd would turn almost deafening. In his victory against wrestling mega-star Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania VI, it seemed as if Ultimate Warrior mania was set to sweep the globe. Though memorable matches against Randy "Macho Man" Savage and Ravishing Rick Rude hinted at a bright future, The Ultimate Warrior's career in the ring began to fade following his strange spectacle at Summerslam 1991. Now through interviews with Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff, and others who worked with The Ultimate Warrior in the WWE and WCW, the truth about America's strangest athlete comes to life as never before.
