Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna Requested for Greatest Royal Rumble
 

This is some funny shit from the front page. I can picture this in my head and it's hillarious.



The Saudi officials in charge of bringing WWE in reportedly requested names like The Undertaker, Yokozuna and the Ultimate Warrior for the Greatest Royal Rumble, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The latter two have obviously been dead for a while.

There’s some speculation/assumption that the reason that WWE brought in Hiroki Sumi for the Royal Rumble match was so that they would have a sumo wrestler instead of Yokozuna.

The officials also requested the announcers “with the crown and the black hat,” which is why WWE’s initially planned on Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler doing commentary on the show. They were later moved to the Kickoff Show instead.

I love wrestling so much

Come on, show some love for the Saudi, dig them fuckers out.

It would be amazing if the sumo wrestler was presented as Yokozuna and if they had thrown in a fake ultimate warrior and just pretended he was real.

The Ultimate Warrior just loves to have fun!

Let a black guy play The Ultimate Warrior. Like give Kofi all the get-up and let him roll.

Should of got Fake Diesel, Razor and Taker to make an appearance. Also Iraqi sympathiser Sargent Slaughter with Colonel Adnan.

Too bad the Renegade killed himself. This was his chance.

Gertner stole my post

Missed opportunity with Axelmania and Bo Warrior.

I feel bad, in an AOL chat back in 98, I asked Renegade what it felt like to be a rip off of a much better rassler. He said something generic like he was a wcw original and then I told him he sucked. Two years later or so he killed himself. Oh well.

I came in here to mock despot nut-bags, and instead I find myself mourning the suicide of Renegade. Alas.
