WWE® Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior™ To Make First Wizard World Appearance At Minneapolis Comic Con
WWE® Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior?
The Ultimate Warrior was one of the most iconic and exciting Superstars in WWE history. When the distinctive ring entrance music of Warrior hit, he would burst out of the dressing room and sprint towards the ring, causing a frenzy of excitement amongst WWE fans. Inside the squared circle, Warrior was responsible for many of the most memorable moments in WWE history.
In 1988 at the inaugural SummerSlam®, he defeated the Honkytonk Man™ in record time to win his first of two Intercontinental Championships. In 1990, Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan™ to become WWE Champion at WrestleMania® VI in one of the most exciting matches in WrestleMania history. Warrior would continue to captivate audiences around the world with epic encounters against WWE Legends such as Undertaker® and Randy Savage™. After a storied career that also saw him compete in WCW®, Warrior stepped away from the ring in 1998. Last year, he was featured in the WWE 2K14 video game as a downloadable character, giving the next generation of WWE fans a chance to “feel the power of the Ultimate Warrior.”
“I can’t wait for my first Wizard World appearance! I’ll tell you that right now I’ll be as excited as any fan in attendance. My Ultimate Warrior fans mean the world to me. My total and absolute focus while I am there is to have each and every one of them know it. No one interacts with their fans like I do. No one. And at Wizard World Minneapolis Comic Con, I promise to prove the truth of this bold claim one more spectacular time. It’s going to be awesome!” said Ultimate Warrior.
“Ultimate Warrior was the premier entertainer to a generation of WWE fans across the world,” said John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO. “He represents everything that was exciting, thrilling and exhilarating to every kid who watched in amazement at his skill, talent and physique and we are thrilled to have him in Minneapolis.”
