>>10251377I was a very wee tyke when Warrior was at the peak of his popularity, but I distinctly remember all the adults in my life despising him.
At the time I hated him because I was an enormous Hogan mark.
Today I can appreciate his bizarre charisma, the kind only possessed by prophets (who are more often than not just charismatic schizos).
I do think it’s fair to characterize Warrior’s popularity as a sort of mass hypnosis, but I don’t think that’s necessarily an insult to Warrior if that makes any sense.
