It would be great if him and Sabre became regulars in Evolve, they are perfect for the current Evolve style.

Damn, Hero vs Thatcher was great, the crowd loved it, I think it was full of fans from England.
Tatanka and Ken Shamrock.
Tatanka's still rockin' that mullet
Shamrock's shirt seems a bit too tight

Anyone else notice it said Kevin Nash underneath Dana Warrior's name on the minitron?

We're just pretending Warrior wasn't a huge raging homophobe now?

Why would someone bring this up during an HoF speech? That's a stupid-ass statement to make, especially when someone is dead and can't "reform" from something they did in the past. What an asshole comment.

Cause it's weird how they're like "He's so great! He's so awesome! Let's all be like The Warrior!"
Edit: I'm not trying to fight with you here, Vince. Every time WWE shows that Connor Michalek video I cry. I'm happy they're honoring him. I just think it's weird that Warrior got tied into it somehow.

Ooh. The whitewashing worked. Everything's forgiven because Warrior got on good terms again with a fellow scumbag...? Had he actually apologised to anyone BUT Vinnie Mac, I might have given him the benefit of the doubt. But he showed NO signs of being nicer. Just calmer.

Is this, where they're unveiling an award for someone who had what they're referring to as his Warrior's spirit, all that...
Do you really think any of that is appropriate to get brought up? Is it "weird" they're not saying that the award represents some of the shitty things someone did?
Some of you are so desperate to hate things, no matter what. Let Connor have his moment here, unless you just don't want him to. I mean, he's gone - what more can you take from him?

Aries and Strong vs Ricochet and Uhaa was great, hope Aries becomes a regular in Evolve.

Thanks for ignoring the second half of my post, bro. You know that I'm one of the most willing people in WrassleGAF to happily swallow whatever WWE tells me to.

Sure, it's nice that Warrior's a better person to some dead than alive. Connor deserves his moment because he never called me out for being a faggot, whilst simultaneously devastating any of my fond childhood memories.
I guess that the award only makes some form of sense when attributed to the character of the Warrior, and not the cunt who played hero to justify his own pathetic, wretched self. Suspension of disbelief, I suppose.

That's exactly it, it IS about the character that he played in the ring, not who he was as Jim Hellwig. I'm not saying "hurr get over it" because we both know that's bullshit. Hate begets hate. It's shitty. But it's just a completely different planet than what this is.

As a father this is soul crushing to watch.
Bringing out his little brother at the end was even more heartbreaking than everything else.

1. Connor ruled, him getting an award rules
2. Fuck that horrifying-looking award, Hellwig/Warrior's face, Hellwig/Warrior, homophobia, and cancer

Back when I was of a more sensitive disposition, Warrior's comments were one of the many things that drove me to a suicide attempt. Inagine looking uo to someone who inspired you every single day, only for them to tell you that you're wrong, and that you should feel bad for it. While I am currently glad that I failed (not willing to discuss the details), and appreciate the honour Connor has been given, I will certainly call out the irony that someone who emitted so much hatred and bile throughout his lifetime ends up having an honour named after him for genuinely nice, harmless, good people like Connor to receive. All I'm saying is that it's especially artificial an award, whereas an award named after Andre the Giant in the same vein would be more apt, or someone else who was actually nice.
He was just such an unbelievable disappointment, is all. And I guess more continue to call him out on his bullshit posthumously due to him... Not doing very much at all worth speaking of in character. Sorry. I'll not mention it again.

Me whining about Warrior had nothing to do with Connor. I even stated as such in the post you quoted.

Johnny Ace, motherfuckers. Glad he took time out from leafing through Playboys, looking for new Divas talent, to show up for the HoF.
Salty.
Not saying he is wrong, but not doing himself any favors getting called back for appearances.

Oh I was disappointed too, HUGELY disappointed. I didn't love the Ultimate Warrior but hearing all the shit he said when he was doing it put him in the "Fuck, here's where the people I hoped were good that are actually shitlords" bucket.
I just think that right now, like literally tonight, isn't a great time to bring it up, because it's not about those situations, this is completely different. But tomorrow it isn't. Just tonight. I think the overly snarky responses people have been doing have caused me to catch feels about all this.

Oh I agree.
Just saying that if he has not already done something to burn WWE bridges (which would explain the lack of mention) then he could burn bridges if he goes too heavy on twitter.

That tweet ain't putting food on his back.
Of course. I'm sorry. My mistake. I suppose blaring out the equivalent of 'THIS GUY IS A DICKHEAD' during what is in essence a remembrance ceremony isn't all that nice. It's just that I was really, REALLY hoping for Warrior to turn out to be good. And he turned out to be a REALLY big arse, even among arses. But yeah, bad timing on my behalf. Sorry.

No, he completely skipped over the height of his popularity.
