The Ultimate Warrior isn’t just a name in the wrestling industry; it represents a legacy that is etched in fan memories. However, legendary commentator Jim Ross had some harsh words for the WWE Hall of Famer.
For the uninitiated, Ross is currently working with AEW, but previously, he was the voice of WWE’s Attitude Era.
In a “Dark Side of the Ring” episode revolving around The Ultimate Warrior, Ross revealed that he did not have a good impression about Warrior’s abilities as a wrestler.

“When The Blade Runners came to UWF, I was the broadcaster. I’ve never met or seen a wrestler with less ability than The Ultimate Warrior. Hellwig [Jim Hellwig, Warrior’s real name] was very narcissistic. ‘I look this good, I got a great smile, I have wonderful teeth. What more could a promoter want?’ Well, I don’t know, maybe could you wrestle?” H/t Sportskeeda
Warrior and Sting (Steve Borden) were tag team partners in UWF during March and June 1986.
Even though The Ultimate Warrior made a name for himself, it is strongly believed he couldn’t separate his actual life from his in-ring character.
