That's a pretty good comparison.   Two memorable runs that did not last long from wrestlers who had character appeal but not appeal in terms of technical wrestlers.    Although I would say Warrior probably had better matches.   Two guys who would probably not work (as regulars) with the over exposure today and the idiot marks.  Neither guys who were particularly popular amongst their peers.

I could have certainly erred in my analysis of him as a wrestler (and that is the good thing about being confronted on ideas), but I think my main takeaway from the bio still stands.   My conflict from the documentary come from the non wrestling side.[/I]

I got a bit emotional watching the reconciliation between individuals / groups who treated each other like crap and made up.  That was a good story.

But as I said I was conflicted afterwards.   He grew as a person in some regards, because a big part of his person was the deplorable comments he made ,,, and that was never reconciled or apologized for and the way it was explained away (he listened to talk radio) was disingenuous.

So if he is one of the few wrestlers that has a statue at WWE headquarters -- that I can live with from his memorable wrestling career.

But the Warrior Award.   Look at the definition "exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance, and who live life with the courage and compassion".    It just doesn't work with me.
