Ultimate Warrior a 'no-go' for WWE HOF
3-15-10
Plans for this year's WWE Hall Of Fame to be based around the Ultimate Warrior have failed. According to sources, WWE were attempting to rebuild their relationship with Warrior and had even offered a 'Legends'
contract, which would no doubt guarntee him some future WWE appearnces and cash further down the line.
Merchandising deals with Warrior's own company, Ultimate Creations, were also being disucssed and everything was ready for lift off, hence WWE adding Warrior to their montage at the last possible minute last week.
However, word has surfaced over the weekend that Warrior has given WWE a notice that he will not be appearing at the event solely due to the 'No Compete' clause in said Legends contract. WWE Legends
contracts are worth $5,000 up front and, an HOF induction, WrestleMania appearence, and an HOF ring.
WWE agreed to pay Warrior considerably more without hesitation and made the decision to base the whole ceremony around him and give him a major, marquee appearence during WrestleMania. After agreeing to everything, Warrior has pulled...well, a Warrior, and backed out it seems.
Warrior insists that WWE remove the 'No compete' clause from the deal and he'll show up. WWE flat refuse up to this point. Further speculation is that they will not back down and Stu Hart/Ted Dibiase will be 2010's
headliners, while next year's event will be a WCW tribute affair.

**** WWE. Remove the
**** no-compete clause and let us see Warrior again. His speech would be off the charts! I don't care if he never had Dave Meltzer five star matches,anyone who grew up on 80's/90's WWF loved the Warrior though the smart marks won't admit it now.
