February 2, 201312 yr Author comment_5532598 Warrior is finally getting his act to a point where it's tolerable. I'd look back and say the problem was that he got the title too soon. He was more over and more effective in this and other recent segments than he was as champion.
March 6, 201312 yr comment_5537999 Warrior really, REALLY needs a strong storyline to focus on to be presentable. That's the case here. Warrior brings up the Ultimate Challenge and the destruction of Brother Love in relation to WM7, which are nice touches. Then he makes threats to the Undertaker. Probably not the best Warrior promo but still an impressive one, where he's successfully able to weave together a few disparate storylines into something cohesive.
March 28, 201312 yr comment_5540114 Warrior is ready to end reign of Savage. Okerlund mentions Undertaker and Paul Bearer talking about sprinkling ashes on Warrior’s grave after he loses match. Building to the next feud. Warrior isn't bad when he is more focused in promos.
May 24, 201312 yr comment_5545453 I thought this was a dare I say it great Warrior promo. He answered the question in good fashion and didnt look like a bumbling idiot in the process. One of the few times were his words matches his persona and mystique.
April 27, 201510 yr comment_5666368 Vince seems to have learned from the mistakes he made with Warrior as champion. Too bad he won't get much of a payoff long-term. That said, they're starting to focus too much on Warrior/Taker, which isn't bad in itself but gives away who's winning this match (although Gino acknowledges that the fans could be waving goodbye to Warrior in response to a Heenan quip). If this was the way they wanted to go, they should have been pimping a possible post-Mania feud for Savage as well, maybe even sowing the seeds for him and Jake. I honestly don't know which other babyface they could have sent him after had he won, except for round three with Hogan, which would have been a step backward (if you can call a World title program such a thing). I liked the references to Mania VI and especially to the destruction of Brother Love. No, beating the hell out of someone who was never a wrestler doesn't guarantee anything against Savage, but it means that Warrior's on a positive roll and has momentum (at least of a sort), which is always a good thing heading into Mania.
