I used to tape all the WWF PPV's at the time as well (from 88 onwards as my neighbour had the old school satellite dishes).    WM6 and WM7 were classic matches without a doubt.    He did have memorable matches (3 in my mind( in a short run even if he had limited talent.

But it's still a very short run to be at the top of the WWE hierarchy.   So just purely from a wrestling perspective it seems off to me from a career perspective, even though I loved him as a kid-- and that is before we get into any human stuff.

But I can see how you disagree on his wrestling legacy -- he had some very real highs and had a huge impact on younger crowds.  Legacy assessments are ultimately personal things.  I can't tell you who you loved the most, or you can't tell me who I loved the most.

But my issue with the documentary is how it presented Warrior as redeeming himself on several levels by showing how great a family man he was.    And for certain things it worked -- the reconciliation got to me on an emotional level.   But it was only after the doc when I thought about it that I was left with a bit of an empty feeling on other human things that he never apologized for and were never redeemed.
