I thought I was going to be done for the day, but the punny reprobates at the New York Post have dragged me back in. In their report of Randy Savage’s death, they wrote the following.
Savage’s passing follows the deaths of several other prominent wrestlers from the 1980s, including Yokozuna, Ultimate Warrior, Bam Bam Bigelow and Savage’s one-time female partner and wife, Miss Elizabeth.
The problem here is that Ultimate Warrior isn’t dead. In fact, he’s more the Warrior now than he was in the 80s, because he changed his name to WARRIOR (legally, in all caps). The whole “the original Ultimate Warrior is dead” rumor/running gag was born in that wonderful time when dumb wrestling fans figured out they could say what they “heard” to other dumb wrestling fans and they’d believe it. I think I read the same rumor about Yokozuna joining the Hart Foundation for two and a half years.
So yeah, hey New York Post, Warrior isn’t dead. You run a terrible operation, and make it hard for people of worth to get jobs in journalism. Warrior is alive, Yokozuna is never going to join the Hart Foundation, the original Undertaker is the same stupid Undertaker being the Undertaker right now, and stop getting dX420suckIt from the back pages of the Torch to write your articles.

Poor Al Isaacs. He was so sure about that Yokozuna scoop.
Awesome, I’m glad we have you around to publicly vilify complete and utter douchebags like the New York Post.
i heard that tiger ali singh bribed a green beret to punch jared from the subway commercials so hard in the heart, that he DIED [sources needed]
Savage was recently drafted from ECW to Raw.

You are awesome for calling them out on this.

I know this article is old but I just want to thank you for correcting the NYP. I don’t remember the Yokozuna rumor but I did catch wind of the Warrior and Undertaker rumors. Both at the tim were base on mundane details. “The Undertaker didn’t have tattoos at his 1st appearance……Warrior’s hair was shorter and his muscles weren’t as big”. Really? People’s appearances don’t change? I know, the idea that Undertaker was able to gain tattoos after his 1st WWF appearance is just absurd. The funny thing is, these people that believe these unsubstantiated rumors look at US that follow the business and know the ins and outs (real names etc), like WE’RE the ones that are gullible. Funny.
ya that was just f in sick putting some one to rest b4 there time,i hope the warrior put them in there place,good to know and ya dude lets see a comeback,hell rick flair has done it how many years lets go ultimate
