WWF Scam: Warrior University
lomb...@usa.pipeline.com
What a scam the WWF is running - Warrior University. For $9.95, any chump
can get an intro package and application to what is suppose to be the WWF
training camp. The $9.95 will be applied to a seminar led by the UW
himself in Scottsdale, Arizona. Yeah right. How many marks out there will
send in their money and then spend more money for a seminar and travel to
Scottsdale to learn how to take 'roids and shake ring ropes.
I guess UW worked this into his contract with VM.

Ummm, are you starting a betting pool? A lot of 'em will do this who live in

When the warrior first started his school...I talked with him through
a chat line on AOL I belive or prodigy I forgot and he actually called
me up at my house and got my address and sent me a whole bunch of shit
on his school and gym. His gym does look pretty tight..it's even got
like an airbrushed picture of his face against this wall. there were
pics and explanations of how he commanded 10,000 a match in europe
while he was on hiatus and how "you" could do it too and it says that
after attending the school if he thinks you "have what it takes" he
will GUARANTEE you a career in wrestling (probably for his independent
federation), The school costs 5,000.00 though. Shit the house of
hardcore is only 3,000. I think I'd rather learn from Taz and Cronus
than warrior. I bet half the marks don't even have 5,000 let alone to
spend it on a wrestling school!

I remember Warrior made the claim you don't have to learn how to work in his
school, he would teach you "charisma" which he claimed was far more important
than putting on a realistic match.
Yeah right. It looks like Vince is getting suckered by this goof again.

Nothing against Jeff, or Evan, or the rest of RSPW here, but it's
times like these that make me want to just cry, whimper, wince, sigh,
whatever. It's been established that I, Jeremy Soria, am the only
Warrior fan on the newsgroup--- and even now I'm questioning myself if
I still want the responsibility. It's not like RSPW is trying to
convert me into a workrate freak or into a straight guy or anything
like that. I mean, I can't enjoy Warrior on the newsgroup without at
least one person giving me a guilt trip about how badly His workrate
is, not to mention that He's not going to change for the workrate
freaks that go to the matches. (But then again, the percentage of
Meltzer/Keller/Scherer/RSPW folks that go to the WWF matches is small
compared to everyone else in the arena.) And I've tried time and again
for folks to let me like who I like in peace, but no one ever takes
that seriously.
If you're trying to convert me into a straight hardcore workrate
freak, it's not working. I would much rather give up the newsgroup and
give up wrestling entirely before doing that. I'd love to stay on the
newsgroup. It's getting harder and harder for me each day.

Jeremy, would you please stop doing this every time someone says something
negative about the Warrior. No one is directing it at you, do NOT take it
personally. Its just getting dumb when you keep complaining like this,
people don't like the Warrior, so what? No one has said you can't. Just
let it go man.

What the hell are you talking about when you said it was a scam? The IS a Warrior
University. It IS taught by the Ultimate Warrior. It's advertised in most major
wrestling magazines(PWI). But it is in the Warrior's contract.

What about the guy with the 28-line signature that has the Warrior
face on it and the WWF logo (Pat "CousinIt" Savino). Nothing against
you, Jeremy, as you often have useful stuff to post, and your opinions
on various RSPW topics are *always* well thought-out, articulate, and
entertaining, but there must be something about Warrior fans and large
signature files. Between your 13-line sig and "the" other Warrior
fan, you could corner the market on post-article text. ;-)

$9.95 a scam ? You ever apply for college ? When I did, I applied to
five, at $20.00 a pop( in 1964). God knows what it is now. Its not a

Jeremy, you are NOT the only warrior fan on the net--My fiancee is a HUGE
Warrior fan, and I kinda like him too.
And you are NOT the only one who thinks that workrate is
overrated---personally I don't give a damn about workrate---I give a damn
that the wrestler CARES enough to entertain. Which is why i'm a Kid
freak---and why I also like the Warrior. Workrate is a bunch of hooey,
and everyone knows it.

I don't want to start a huge thread on the subject of the warrior's workrate
(or lack thereof) but I do have a gripe against the Warrior, and it goes
something like this:
For a guy who's been around since the late 80's, he's picked up next to
nothing pertaining to any aspect of his character. His "workrate" hasn't
improved, sure, but neither has much of anything else. And while we're on the
subject, where did he get his training, if any? Fritz Von Erich... or someone
like that down in Texas, or did he train somewhere else? His work in the ring
dropped noticably upon his arrival in the WWF, and (with the possible
exception of his match at WrestleMania VI - which I thought wasn't all that
bad) has kept dropping ever since. I had thought that maybe he'd at least try
to show his fans something new, especially with a layoff to improve, but he
hasn't. (Whether it's because he hasn't tried or because the WWF doesn't
expect any more of him is an interesting subject to debate but not really
germain to the point.)
The problem lies in the fact that he was (and is) the quintissential gimmick
character. A mysterious, unbeatable, Warrior from parts unknown whose only
purpose it seems is to serve as an icon and a model for action figures, comic
books, etc. (Kind of like Hulk Hogan, but with even less personality - because
none was required.) Ther WWF never had to establish him as a person(ality)
because it wasn't necessary for the character. His interviews never had to be
good because no one even really cared if he spoke or not. The reason for and
causes of his matches and feuds never had to be that well established because
his only purpose was to "defeat evil."
All this is not the Warrior's fault: It's the WWF's. Is there room for this
type of character in wrestling? Yes, of course (and it often seems as if they
dominate the sport occasionally.) Hell... I dig the Undertaker! I like the
gimmick. I like the entrances. I watch his matches with the full realization
that I'll most likely not see great wrestling. I then move on and watch other
matches with other wrestlers that I like for other reasons.
And of course none of this means anything towards the Warrior himself. He may
be the greatest guy in the world, and I have nothing against him, but he
simply isn't a character that I was all that interested in from the start, and
there's been almost nothing since to change that fact for me personally. As
the Dingo Warrior I saw him as a Road Warriors clone. In the WWF he became
Hulk Hogan Mark II. With his latest return he's stood for something else: An
era in the sport that even Vince McMahon has tried to bury and forget.

Take the criticisms against the Warrior for what their worth. If the
discussion involves good in-ring action, then criticism against the Warrior is
valid. If it's talk of him even getting worse, then he usually hears the same
gripes we deal out against Hogan, Savage, Flair, and everyone who continues to
be prominent in the wrestling scene well past their primes. If you're
discussing wrestlers as characters, then it's your choice whether to ignore
the criticisms, or stand up and voice your own rebuttal. You can't just lump
every criticism against the Warrior and take them all personally. Some are
simply irrefutable. Some are debatable. Some are just plain wrong.
Workrate isn't everything. But it is a better indicator of understanding just
how much a particular athlete cares about himself, his sport, and the fans.
It's easier to watch, for example, a Chris Benoit match and and think "he's
working that hard because he cares." (Whether it's about the fans or getting a
bigger paycheck, impressing his co-workers, etc., is debatable.) It's hard to
read anything like that into the average Warrior "Run in - pick 'em up - drop
'em - splash 'em Match." Was the match so short because he's so good because
or because that's all he can do? It takes a bigger suspension of disbelief to
root for him (from the neutral viewpoint of the average fan.)
And as to liking or not liking the Warrior: Go ahead. Just don't expect to
equate the reasons you like him with the reasons someone else may like Ric
Flair, or The Blue Meanie, or Doink.

I'm glad you're aware of what everyone knows. Besides which, the Kid
wouldn't be entertaining at all if he didn't have a good workrate.

Cool! :)
This Warrior U garbage is just another way for the WWF (and the Warrior) to
slip their sticky fingers into the marks' pockets and take whatever they can
find. And what's worse is that those marks are volunteering for the job!
(and TO job if they actually get hired)
If I was in any shape to compete in professional wrestling and had the time
and money, I'd definitely move to Calgary and go to the Dungeon. Stu Hart
has been cranking out some of the best wrestlers anywhere for a long time,
and if anyone could teach a poor slob like me how to sell a piledriver, it
would be him. :)

too ( not just to receive the application package), since the University

application.
What I do not like is paying to get the information about something that I
will have to pay even more money.
Next thing you know someone will tell you send us $ 10 with your resume
when you are ready to leave Iowa State and we will then send you
information that you don't qualify for a job with us and we will keep your
$$$$.
As far as kids sending in their money - Isn't that why we have parents? To
check how their children are spending their money and to see what they are

Hmmm... a couple of photocopied pages and some pictures of the gym is
more like it, but who's counting?
If you look at the instruction offered, the lengths of the training
options, etc., it looks like more of a fantasy camp than an actual
training program.
The Warrior is no fool, especially when it comes to marketing. What he's
running is a lot more lucrative than a legitimate training program could
ever be, and he's got it worked out that he can turn a buck even from the
nine year old wannabees who request info.

Huh? The Kid is one of the best workers in the business, with one of the
highest workrates.
Sorry, folks, but I want to see action supplemented with angles and other
ring psychology. I don't want to see meaningless gyrations having nothing
to do with the match at hand.

I think it's fine for you to like the Warrior. But why should your
being a fan of the Warrior affect what other people post? Heck, I like
Dusty Rhodes, always have. But I don't think that means nobody should
ever post criticism of Dusty on the group.

OK,...this is the type of thing to piss a person off. Especially about
Iowa, and Iowa State,..because I hate them both. First off,...I was not
comparing ISU to Warrior University. You see,...this is the problem with
half of you fucks out there.....YOU DON'T READ THE FUCKING POSTS!!!!! If
you did,...you would see I was responding to someone who asked what the
fees were to apply today,..compared to what he did in the 70's. Half of
this newsgroup is people who make shrewd remarks and flame people without
reading the whole post...and make comments without knowing what the hell
they are talking about....and it's pathetic. It wasn't this bad 1 year
ago,..now it's pathetic. Just read the damm posts and at least know what is
being said before you comment on them. I'd bet that eliminate half of the
posts and problems on this newsgroup.
Secondly,....Iowa Sucks Balls!!!! I'm from Illinois,..about an hour from
Chicago (granted,..in some cases not the best,..but miles ahead of this
backwards state.) Iowa State is pathetic. I don't know why I even came
here,...I guess to get away. Big surprise I got. Their isn't Jack
here,..and a horendous music sceen (Clasic Iowan: Music?...What's
music? Being a musician,..it's just a tad important.)
Anyways,...don't critize me cause it's ISU,....I critize it every day I'm
here. Arizona State,....here I come.

"Pay to have transcripts sent to them"? I've never heard of a

Warrior University does exist. Unfortunatly it costs about 5000 first

would send in $10 dollars to find find out it would cost them $5000 (+
transportation and living expenses, I assume) and then figure out that they
cannot afford it.
Yet, WWF/Warrior enterprises still got the $10. With the number of
wrestling fans out there say for example 50,000 people in the US (modest
figure) sent in their money. That is half a million dollars less
$100,000(est.) for printing and shipping costs for a net profit of
$400,000 for doing a 1 minute commercial. Not a bad scam!!!

Yeah, but that doesn't mean he can wrestle. I like the warrior because of his
energy, but guys like him are pretty much a dime a dozen. Warrior is not going
to last 10 years in the sport like guys like Ric Flair and Brett Hart.

thousands, and possibly millions, of info packs to kids who are years away
from even being considered? Warrior University is not some brand new sceme
the WWF created. Warrior has been running this school for years. They
just don't want to send out packs to kids. There's nothing wrong with
this.

How dare anybody even consider calling this a scam? Considering how
many UW fans there are out there, who would you expect to foot the
bill for answering all the mail? He's in business to make money, not
give it away. That $10 is reasonable for a promotional package and
an application. If anyone objects to spending the money, it's unlikely
they were serious about joining the school in the first place.

I'll take a wild guess...what about the Renegade?
The guy looks like him, dresses like him, and acts like him. And it's
been noted that Renegade had to go back to wrestling school. So why
not 'Warrior University'?
Another thing they both have in common is that neither one of them
knows more than 3 wrestling moves!

Warrior *has* been running a school, but he *hasn't* been charging ten
bucks for the information. How many schools do? No many. I don't
feel sorry for anyone ordering information, nor do I condemn Warrior
and Vince for trying to make a buck, but only a sucker is going to pay
that much for a catalog. It's paying for the priviledge to be a
customer.

That brings up an interesting question. How long has UW been
in pro wrestling? He was known as Dingo Warrior before.
Wasn't he in a tag team called Power Team USA? Was his
partner Sting who was called Bladerunner Sting? Didn't they wrestle first
for Fritz Adkisson in Texas and later UFW for Bill Watts?
I don't think his ring work ever improved from those early
days.

Since you mentioned faeries...
Once I was wandering in the northern part of the land of Hyrule, when I
happened upon a spring. Dancing daintily on top of the spring was -- imagine
my surprise! -- a faery. I had been feeling a bit lethargic, but upon the
sight of the faery, I felt a revitalization as I had never felt before. I felt
capable of slaying even the most dangerous of Dodongos or tenacious of
Tektites.
So, if you ever encounter a faery while prancing jauntily through the woods,
do not be alarmed! It can only mean a pleasant experience for you and yours.
