The Ultimate Warrior was one of the true legends of professional wrestling. During his time in the WWE / WWF, Jim Hellwig was able to capture the imagination of millions of fans, become a worldwide fan favourite and becoming one of wrestling's most recognizable superstars. The unique character of the Ultimate Warrior was truly what the late 80s and early 90s was all about. The Ultimate Warrior started his career tagging with Steve Borden, better known to wrestling fans as the legendary Sting. Jim Hellwig decided to go solo and become The Dingo Warrior in WCCW. It wasn't long afterwards that the WWF came knocking on Warrior's door, and he was brought into the company and eventually renamed "The Ultimate Warrior". The Ultimate Warrior became a huge star in the WWF, exciting fans as he rushed to the ring with high intensity for his matches. His theme song and entrance became just as important as his matches as he rose up the WWF ranks, eventually winning the Intercontinental title from The Honky Tonk man and having storied matches with Ravishing Rick Rude. Eventually, The Warrior was able to capture the WWF Championship in a well remembered WrestleMania moment. At WrestleMania 6, The Ultimate Warrior defeated the face of the WWF, Hulk Hogan.
