November 9, 201212 yr Author comment_5519419 Finally, these are over! Sean Mooney is nothing but a normal, according to Warrior. He throws him out of the room and says he doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as him and Hogan. What a jerk!
November 11, 201212 yr comment_5519733 Hogan promises to "save" the Warrior and the Little Warriors and bring them into the light. Hogan is already hedging his bets by saying what kind of winner or loser you are is more important than winning or losing. Ha. "And Warrior, I just hope you're a good loser" is the kind of lines we needed more of than the pseudomysticism bullshit both guys were spouting. Warrior foreshadows the coming of the Rock by abusing his interviewer. Warrior draws on then-current US/USSR events and pledges to bring the Little Hulksters and Little Warriors together. Warrior is now actively attempting to come off as a babyface (once Mooney's out of the way) but as I said in his last, more straightforward promo...too little, too late. I was off the Warrior bandwagon by this point.
December 3, 201212 yr comment_5521517 Hogan spells it out for us that it is not whether you win or lose so i guess we got some foreshadowing there. Warrior acting above mere mortals didn't exactly make him a sympathetic babyface either.
January 18, 201312 yr comment_5528703 You are nothing but a normal! Poor Sean Mooney. He’s just trying to do his job. I'd take as a compliment though after all the crazy stuff Warrior has been staying. He indeed is not normal.
January 23, 201312 yr comment_5529884 Ultimate Warrior is hilariously self-absorbed by kicking Sean Mooney out of the room for being a mere normal. Did the WWF think this was going to be the way to get a large part of their fanbase to relate to this guy when he was champion? Not that Hulk Hogan is anymore relatable at this point, mind you.
December 26, 201410 yr comment_5647032 Those who try to fit Warrior and Hogan into the traditional babyface model are missing the point. The entire concept of their characters is that they don't need the fans' sympathy any more than Bobby Heenan does. Rather, they're such powerful forces of nature that any fan that doesn't follow them automatically just because they are who they are isn't with the program and better get on board before they're left behind for good. They'll live forever with or without fan support; it's the fans who will benefit by adopting them as heroes. Sure, they both pay lip service to needing the fans' support, but they can cast aside the "nonbelievers" because they know in their hearts that who and what they are is right regardless. Sounds kind of like Tully Blanchard or Ric Flair without the steroids, no? At any rate, other than the Warrior preaching togetherness for all instead of mass suicide, there's nothing terribly different here than there was before. As Loss said above, thank God the time for talking's over!

February 13, 20178 yr comment_5788356 Hogan trying to soften the blow is pretty funny. Especially given his penchant for making sure he loses as little as possible.
