As Lawless and Metal will agree,my personal Wrestling style has all-ways been that of The Ultimate Warrior!! For me the Warrior,From the first time i saw him racing to the ring and totally Demolishing the Jobbers put in front of him,was how a squash wrestler should be? He was Big,Had Long hair,Had Great entrance music and he did the job fast with military precision. Ok,so he wasn't the most technical wrestler in the world but he Had Everything else? Charisma...Jim had this in Spades! Aura of Intrigue...You always wanted to see what he would do next? Stickwork...The best bar none when it came to getting you psyched for an upcoming match,even though you really didn't understand everything he was saying? Ringwork...You knew you wasn't in for a 20 minute epic but his Energy just swept you along for the ride! Beleavability...Hey! Jim Believes he's the Ultimate Warrior so who am i to say?
For me a One off(until Bill) that will always be special in my memories of 80s Wrestling! Ultimate Or Not?? For me [shadow=red,left,300]Ultimate!!![/shadow]

I vote for the Ultimate and wanna name you the best five matches he had in my eyes: 1. vs Rick Rude in the Steelcage (see RR-discussion) 2. vs. Hogan in the Ultimate Challenge; they tried so hard to push Hogan and give him the babyface-role, but in the end it was 50:50 Little Warriors against Hulkamaniacs. Due to the fact that I wanted to see Hogan lose a year before Wrestlemania VI vs. Savage I put on my mask and roared for the maniac. 3. vs Honky Tonk, Summerslam 88; he surprisingly replaced Beefcake (who was beaten up by Ron Bass right before the match) and became Intercontinental Champion within less than a minute 4. vs Savage at Wrestlemania VII, not because of the Ultimate win, but because of the re-turn of Savage; tremendous match 5. Survivor Series 88 when he teamed up with Beefcake, Blue Blazer and the British Bulldogs to take on Bass, Honky, Greg the Hammer and the Rouuuueghoeuouoo- Brothers and stood as the winner in the end. The entrance still may be the best ever. Cannot be more Metal. Ultimate hail!

I Agree 100% with your Match choices Grandma,Although there was a match on Superstars? years ago which had the Ultimate One Absolutley Destroy a Ham n Egger in about 30 seconds,it was the best squash match since Sid vs Lee Scott in the 80s. I believe Jims opponent was none other than Joe Cruz that night.
