Ultimate Warrior coming back to the WWF in 1997 for a fourth stint?

Oh yes, Warrior would definitely be a huge upgrade (busines-wise) over the departing Bret Hard/Bret The Wrestler.

He was only 38 years old in 97. Attitude era Warrior would’ve been Dimes

oh for sure. At least Warrior could get you a true return on the investment and is actually a proven draw compared to Bret who still can't draw.

was he still able to wrestle though? that match with orlando jones and his last appearance on raw show he could barely walk. i wonder if by age 40 he wasnt suffering from health problems already which made him unable to do much wrestling

The AE had zero 5 star matches, it was all about the storylines anyway so he would have been protected there.

he could do some basic moves. but i think by 40 his hips or legs were shot. he really had trouble getting to the ring for the orlando jordan match. he claimed he hurt himself training but years later he looked to be limping right before he died on raw

He'd need a new finisher, you didn't get over in the AE if you didn't have a good finisher and his splash was dogwater

The nostalgia aspect of his finish would have made it still work. Hogans leg drop still being over was proof of that

The leg drop was basic, but it at least looked good. Warrior's splash had no impact.

His finish was the Gorilla press followed by the splash though
