5 WWE Superstars who were accused of being unsafe in the ring

#3 The Ultimate Warrior

The Ultimate Warrior will go down in history as being one of the most controversial WWE Superstars of all time. He had more enemies than friends in the locker room, if 'The Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior' is to be believed. Legendary WWE manager Bobby Heenan wasn't a fan of The Ultimate Warrior in the least and dubbed him as being unsafe in the ring. Heenan stated that Warrior clotheslined him deliberately, even after he had told him that he had a bad neck.

The Ultimate Warrior had issues with several WWE Superstars

WWE Hall of Famer Randy Savage apparently hated working house shows with The Ultimate Warrior on a regular basis, due to the latter's stiffness in the ring. The Ultimate Warrior and WWE were at odds for a long time following the release of the above-mentioned DVD, but the two parties later made up and he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. Warrior tragically passed away soon after his Hall of Fame induction. He was certainly one of the most charismatic Superstars in all of WWE, but his career was marred with accusations of being a stiff worker and someone who was incredibly hard to work with in a backstage capacity.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
