The Ultimate Warrior will be making his first WWE appearance in 18 years when he gets inducted into WWE Hall of Fame on April 5th, 2014. A big part of Warrior?s most recent fallout with WWE involved the ?Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior? DVD (2005), which featured many WWE legends (as well as Vince McMahon) burying Warrior for his unprofessional conduct in the early 1990?s. One event in particular was that ?Warrior held up Vince McMahon for money backstage at SummerSlam 1991.?  The Ultimate Warrior vehemently denied this story and provided proof in court back in 2009 that prove the story is completely false.

Here?s the letter transcribed:

 

 

?Vince,

 
Writing this is a different approach in expressing my feelings about the things we discussed the last 2 days under the pressure of TV. Knowing that any second someone would be knocking on the door, etc. Every other avenue we tried ? via phone, face to face, myself still walking away with unanswered questions. Always put off till a later date. Always with the same result ? no result.
 
Writing sometimes allows a person to express feelings or say things that don?t come in conversations such as we have. Some of the things will once again become repetitive ? so what I?ve heard ?in an Essence? at least a million times. I?ve tried to speak as a friend but sometimes you don?t hear. I?ve spoken as a professional but the direction always gets changed. No, you never let me leave without a response, but the words you speak never have any definitives. My whole life for the last 5 years has had no room for anything but definitives (Los Angeles on Thurs, San Diego on Friday, San Francisco Sat. Sacramento on Sunday, Prime Time on Monday?) but you always have to have the best way of time. Time to say stew things over to work them your way.
 
I have been from day 1 different from the others. I have sacrificed myself enough both in my personal life and physical well being. The fairness you say you want everyone to have is unfair to me. I grew in 5 years to become what the ?Ultimate Warrior? is today, Always questioning, but nonetheless taking him in the direction you wanted him to go past any particular time. Done what would and has taken other 10-15 years.
 
The points and suggestions you have made over the last 5 years were very well taken. Now I look at other individuals with less than 1/3 the creativity, desire and hunger I had (have) and wonder how you can look and see them as The One. For you as a friend I pray all the things you believe in rise to the surface and present themselves.
 
Then there is the side that says ?What the f man?? When I was thought of as The One the topics of conversation were ? ?Treat the veterans with respect?. The veterans you spite are the very ones who will **** it up for you. No matter, I listened. I would go to ring push myself to the brink of a heart attack and you would say ?When you go to the corner ? SMILE??!?! You spoke of the Ultimate Warrior appealing to all, old, young, ugly, beautiful, fat, skinny, black, white.
 
A character who would show ups and downs emotions and intensities, sensitivities and cold-heartedness when it was needed. Like a yo-yo I obliged so I could be The One. Where the hell are this man?s ups and downs. ? Total jugular-vein popping yelling at all times. Is this the Total Picture, character, or presentation that can be The One? I learned with you to show intensity at this level but also to show just as much intensity with the look of my eyes or with the whisper of my voice or even better ? extreme intensity in total silence. I did all you asked.
 
The the long-term plan changed. At first I was reluctant for what I believed were the right reasons ? but once again I went with what I knew I could believe in ? ?Vince has never ****ed me.? I dealt with what you thought was best no matter what the cost to me, no matter the countless # of sleepless nights there were to come, no matter the # of times I had to knock on your door with questions I should never have had.
 
For the last 2 1/12 years I should have never had the questions I did. To stand and make a videotaped apology for something I never did made me realize all we have is business.
 
Once again I went without sleep, if ever I do so again it will be because I elect to, not because my wandering mind says to do so.
 
In reaching this conclusion I ask for these things. You say 500,000 for Wrestlemania is unfair, then I say the last 8 1/2 years of not being compensated equally when I meant as much or more to the company was total bull**** and most definitely unfair. I have sacrificed more than 500,000 more than 1 million dollars, even more in monies that should have been paid to mein receiving equal compensation as Hulk.
 
I paid my goddamn dues long ago. I need not pay anymore. I have given everything and never once was there a knock on my ****ing door. Whether to bull**** as a friend or help me thru my times of need or you trusting me to help you thru yours.
 
I ask for these things Vince and the answers must come for the next event is upon you. It has been for me the 5 years and for you to tell me you need to ealuate whether or not I?m cost-effective and this takes time us unfair. A show runs at a given time and date ? I have always been there, never asking for time to see if I have the rest, food or whatever it takes to make it. Now I ask the same of you.
 
I want (1) $550,000 release from the monies alloted me to purchase my home. This will suffice as my Wrestlemania VII payoff, but let it be noted it is not fair. I meant as much or more to that show as Hulk ? I deserve to be paid the same (I know what Hulk will get)
(2) 4 days off every other time off period ? except Pay Per View only.
(3) I want the same pay cut as Hulk gets on all Pay-Per-Views, SNME, FRIDAY PRIMETIME, house shows and proof as such. The same pay cut applies to what Hulk has been paid with relationshio to past events Wrestlemania V, VI, VII i.e when Hulk was top draw.
(4) I want numbers and prove of monies done on 1-900-Hulk and likewise same pay cut.
(5) Same pay cut on all forms of merchandising.
 
Because I have had to always knock on your door, words alone are not good enough. I understand Doug Sages is on Vacation, call him take his days off away like you do to the boys and myself and have it written. Everytime I had to knock upon your door upon leaving I have always apologized. I no longer feel I have any reason to apologize, therefore I will not. I have tried to speak as a friend, but maybe I don?t have the qualities you required to seek me out as a friend. The videotaped apology was the icing on the cake ? you see it as business so whether I like it or not I must do the same. Whatever your decision I can and will live with it. Till then I remain home with one who cares.
 
-Jim?
