The 32nd UFWL Draft Pick: The Ultimate Warrior



The 32nd UFWL Draft pick is none other that the Ultimate Warrior. The UFWL Board of Governors debated this one for a long time, and he may be the only wrestle we draft that is severely lacking in actual wrestling skill. However his character was large enough for us to go ahead and bring him in.

Given the fact that he beat Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 we feel confident that we can place the Warrior in our main event, World Title division, but we will have to pair him with guys who can get the most out of him.

Thankfully this is fantasy wrestling so we will not have to deal with the personality of the man behind the Warrior. Hulk Hogan told us that he took direction well in their buildup to Six and we are hoping our roster can get teh best out of him in the ring.

Of course this creates a unique challenge for our creative department, as they will have to do a lot of extra stuff with him, as we can not always depend on him to give it to our fans bell to bell. The first idea that we had was to put him into a feud with the Undertaker.

This is a booking designed from a long ago angle in the WWF where 'Taker assaulted Warrior and locked him in a coffin. Warrior never got his revenge on 'Taker and we think that The Undertaker can help guide Warrior through a successful program.

We are not going to lie, this is a huge gamble but we hope there are enough wrestling fans out there that remember the impact Warrior made on his initial WWF debut.
