The Ultimate wrestler

Ultimate Warrior

Yep that's how he looks now
Yes the ultimate wrestler is the Ultimate Warrior. Okay so that might be going too far. His in ring ability was far from outstanding, but his physique was, and his facepaint wasn't badly done either [contratulations to the make up artist]. After first being interested in and getting in to bodybuilding, he decided to divert his attention to wrestling. After spending some time in various promotions, including teaming with Steve Borden [Sting] in one of them, he was signed by the WWE in 1987. As Intercontinental champion he defeated Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania to be the first wrestler ever hold both the Intercontinental and World championships. 

Warrior [a name he legally now holds] left the WWE in 1991 after some contract disagreements but was asked to return in 1992. He did, but was released that same year for disputed reasons. In the years 1992 - 1996 he was semi retired, wrestling occasionally. He made one last return to the WWE in 1996 to squash Hunter Hearst Helmsley [Triple H]. Once again he was released not long after with various stories as to why he was let go.

Warrior's last appearance in the 'big time' was in WCW in 1998. Once again he did not last long [only a few months] before he left. He announced his retirement 1 year later. Where is he now? It's hard to say. One thing is for sure, there is a lot of anamosity between him and the WWE and he is no longer involved in wrestling. A recent rumour said he is in the motoring business now. How true that is , who knows?
