I just watched the DVD and thought it was pretty good.
I was a young teenager in the late 80's when I first saw the Ultimate Warrior on TV in Australia. Like many people, I thought he was cool and his wrestling "theme" music was awesome.
This Doco/interview tells the unknown story of the Ultimate Warrior from his humble beginnings into wrestling to the end of his career. There is lots of actual match footage shown which is good and brought back fond memories. It's a shame that we never get to hear from Jim Hellwig (The Ultimate Warrior) himself, and his version of the story.
All the interviews from other wrestlers and associates are insightful and some are just plain funny.
In my opinion of this DVD, it does reveal that The Ultimate Warrior was a pretty weird guy and probably not the most talented TV Wrestler. But I also believe there is a lot of sour grapes coming from Vince McMahon and other wrestlers. It appears to me that Jim Hellwig was unhappy with his salary and thought he should be making more money than what he was being paid.
In summary, this was a good watch, with lots of great footage and some funny interviews. I would recommend this to everyone including non-wrestling fans.
