Chris Masters shoots on Ultimate Warrior

Earlier today, I read a very interesting article on Slam! Sports that featured an interview with former WWE Superstar Chris Mordetzky (pictured above), better known as "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. In this interview, Masters had some very choice words for The Ultimate Warrior with regards to appearing on the same wrestling show as him in Barcelona Spain last June that featured the Warrior's comeback match against former WWE Superstar Orlando Jordan.

In the article, which can be read by clicking here, Mordetzky refers to Warrior as the "Ultimate A-hole" and stated the following...."The guy is 50 years old and he expected the red carpet rolled out for him in NWE....We were doing a three-week tour of Spain and they brought him in to create a buzz for the product. He had one match to do with Orlando Jordan for our big show in Barcelona.....They rented him a house and flew out his wife and daughters and all I was hearing about from the guys higher up was his moaning and saying, 'I am the Ultimate Warrior, you should be promoting this more,' and doing everything he possibly could to make it hard for those of us who were working every day busting our rears."

Mordetzky was not done there as the then took aim at Warrior's match, pretty much calling it horrible. "The guy trained for this match like it was a bodybuilding show. He hadn't wrestled legitimately in about 15 years, because let's be honest, that WCW run doesn't even count. He gave Orlando a hiptoss and a backdrop and then blew up in two minutes; there was nothing that Orlando could do. He stunk the whole joint out. We were backstage and it was unlike any atmosphere I have ever felt. We asked Juventud Guerrera what they were chanting in Spanish and it was things like boring and BS. Whatever he thinks his value is, he is completely delusional. It is safe to say the Ultimate Warrior is an a-hole, the best way to describe him is ugh."

Wow! Tell us how you really feel about Warrior Mr. Mordetzky. I think its safe to say that this story is a prime example of why no professional wrestling company in the States has wanted Warrior to work for their organization since he left WCW in 1998 after Hulk Hogan avenged his Wrestlemania VI loss to Warrior. What else do you expect from a gentleman that legally changed his name to "Warrior" and speaks in a form of tongue that no one, not even his most devout fans, can understand.

Warrior really has a high opinion of himself and appears to be living off of past glory. I cannot believe that a small time independent wrestling organization actually accommodated Warriors requests and demands when any other promoter would have told Warrior to get lost.

However, I don't know why it came as a surprise to Mordetzky or any of the other wrestlers that Warrior was blown up in the ring after doing several moves. Shoot, at the height and prime of his career, Warrior blew himself up before the matches even started by sprinting to the ring, which was the most exciting part of his entrance once his trademark music hit. Once the bell rang and the match started, it was all downhill from there.

I wonder how long it will take Warrior to post a rebuttal commentary to Mordetzky's comments. But what would be the point? No logical person would be able to understand or translate what he would be saying.
