My fellow wrestling fans, you won't believe this! HE'S BAAAAACK!!!

Former WWE Champion Ultimate Warrior will be wrestling in his first match in nearly ten years when he takes on Orlando Jordan on Wednesday, June 25 in Barcelona, Spain.

The following press release was issued from his agent to WarriorCentral.net, among other websites:

The Ultimate Warrior Announces His Return To Pro Wrestling

Staggering news resounded in the NWE Arena during the Madrid show on April 19th. More than 15,000 fans had the chance to see the award presentation which celebrated the career of professional wrestling icon, The Ultimate Warrior; who was in attendance to accept his award. However, controversy erupted during the presentation when NWE Champion Orlando Jordan mocked a young fan of Warrior's at the event. Warrior was quick to come to the defense of this fan which led to a heated conflict between Warrior and Jordan.

On June 25th 2008 in Barcelona, after a 12 year absence from the ring, The Ultimate Warrior will officially make his wrestling comeback in a match against Jordan. The news was confirmed this morning by Warrior's agent, Bernie Gernay in a statement.

"For over 10 years this is what the entire wrestling world has been waiting for, the return of the Warrior. We are excited to bring back the greatest character and energy to ever get into the ring. Ultimate Warrior is an incredible marketing machine and has kept a tremendous value to his name which is why the NWE has stepped up with a substantial deal that worked very well for both sides. There is no disputing that Warrior left a mark on professional wrestling that no other talent did and the reason why still today he is often imitated, but never duplicated."

Over the next few days the NWE will inform fans of the preparations for one of the biggest and most important wrestling events ever to be held in Europe. As the news progresses it is sure to be the headlines of wrestling news and forums throughout the internet and will most certainly have all in the wrestling industry and fans alike in great anticipation to see what the Warrior will deliver on June 25th, and perhaps beyond.

I hope this is a one-time only thing or that he stays in Europe, because I'd hate to see him show up in TNA and Hell would have to freeze over about....oh....three dozen times before he'd show up in the WWE.

Maybe this will spark some more nonsensical (sp?) promos that we can all laugh at.  I would love to hear about the marrow in his veins being of a different consistancy of other mortal men. Or maybe he can explain Destructicity.

What gets me about this is:

1. Its not happening in the U.S., or even North America.

2. He's coming out of retirement to face a guy whose biggest accomplishment in mainstream wrestling was jobbing to Chris Benoit in about 22 seconds on a PPV.

3. Warrior has shown in his various rants\commentaries\tirades\speeches, etc that amongst other things he is a homophobe (one of his more infamous statements, which I believe he made in a political or motivational speech, was "Queering doesn't make the world work") and Orlando Jones is either bisexual or gay.

Number one doesn't surprise me. He's pretty much been blacklisted from North American promotions due to his work ethics.

!!!

No hair and a suit?

What the hell?

He's speaking full, yet short and coherent sentences?

Does he think he's Flair now?

Egads, those ropes are way too loose.

Ugh... he's slow and awful.

RTT

That's actually vintage Ultimate Warrior in the video....LOL!

My fav. UW match when he beat the Honky Tonk Man in like less than 30 seconds.  I keeled over laughing. 

"Professional" Wrestling has always been a great source of entertainment for me.

[thanoson]

Wow! The ropes are hideous. Please stab my eyes out.
