The Ultimate Warrior On Occupy Wall Street: ‘They Have No Common Decency’

VIDEO
» 49 comments

On the same day that the Muppets took over WWE’s Monday Night Raw, wrestling legend The Ultimate Warrior told TMZ that he wasn’t a fan, at all, of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, saying that if they really want to be heard, they should stop their chanting and, instead, start boycotting products. He also let them have it for a lack of knowledge on why they’re protesting. “They don’t have any idea of what they want to be done,” he told TMZ, “they just want to participate in this energy that’s down there.”

In a surprisingly well thought-out argument, Warrior, when asked about the protests, first said that he didn’t think he’d be able to give an answer that would work well in a sound bite (an art form that he perfected in the 80s and 90s). He then paused, and tore into the protesters, saying that he finds it ironic that most of them have iPads and iPhones — material goods that are a big part of, “the consumerism that goes on,” in this country. “Things just don’t fall from the sky,” he said. “Somebody’s got to make them.” He added that the biggest statement the OWS crowd could make would be to boycott some of the companies:

“Don’t buy the stuff. Start living your own life, practice what you preach. I don’t see a lot of that going on.”

The man from Parts Unknown then lit into the protest camps, saying he’s not a fan of the squalor. “It’s like they have no manners, they have no common decency, there’s absolute misbehavior.” If anything, The Ultimate Warrior’s stance should be a nice shot in the arm for the anti-OWS crowd, as one of the most intimidating men in wrestling history now has their backs.

Enjoy the video below, courtesy of TMZ, of The Ultimate Warrior expressing his displeasure at the Occupy Wall Street crowd:

    OMG The Ultimate Warrior! Yes! I always liked Warrior better than Hogan. I can kind of see his point, though I find it a bit unfair to ask people to basically not partake in the world as it is. If you’re going to live in this world you probably have to engage these corporations and support them on some level. You can’t just boycott the world. I don’t have a problem with people wanting a change to the system, even if it’s a system they use. Most people have partaken in a system they would like to make changes to, at some point in their life. Why am I even analyzing Warrior’s comments this deeply? The guy’s crazy! That’s why I loved his act back in the 80′s/90′s. That same crazy energy he describes, pertaining to the OWS movement, he used to harness everyday as part of his act in the ring. Given some of his recent interviews though (Not this one. This pales in comparison to his others.), he might actually be “real life” crazy. Well, hell, if he is throw him up there as the next frontrunner for the GOP presidential candidacy. You’ve have a lot better chance getting me to vote for him than most of the other people running on that side.

    OCCUPY WALL STREETERS! Google Jon Corzine and see what Obama’s letting him get away with.

    Obama’s student loan relief plan is a drop in the bucket. Here’s Obama’s buddy Jon Corzine walking away with $12 Million that could have gone to more help for you but Obama’s Wall Street buddies always comes first.

    No perp walk here!

    The rapes continue at OWS, this time a young deaf man was raped at OWS;

    It is like the Lord of the Fleas down at the OWS.

    But the MSM just looooooves OWS…even though they are raping people down there.

    Oh and because of OWS Wall Street a nearby restaurant had to lay off 21 people because of those POS down there;

    Yet the MSM is behind OWS, meanwhile 21 people have lost their jobs, plus others across the country because of these animals.

    Well, shit. If the Ultimate Warrior is speaking to all of us little warriors and declares that he’s not a fan of OWS…then, gosh darn it…neither am I.

    It stands to reason that the guy that was considered crazy even in the world of professional wrestling for giving incoherent, rambling, pointless promos is a right-wing nut-job teabagger. 

  • Your Mama’s so fat

    There’s a point when you’ve been pile driven too many times into the mat, and I think for the Warrior that time has arrived.  Then there’s the whole steroid angle we won’t even get into to.

    what’s your excuse? what should be done about you expressing your nitwit comments?

  • Blah

    Yes, yes. Now here’s one man’s opinion who we should all really listen to. I mean, what an intellect! Almost as great as the brain-dead who watch wrestling. Oh, and I know that the 14 million people who one party is trying to get back to working again must keep you up at night like those 21. Of course, the Wall Street/Banksters/ Corporate welfare lovers don’t give a rat’s ass about them. After all, if Hannity and O’Reilly say something, it must be true!

    “The Ultimate Warrior On Occupy Wall Street: ‘They Have No Common Decency’”

    Says the man pumped full of steroids who makes his living as the third or fourth version of a character who wears neon tights and tassles around his biceps and participates in staged athletic demonstrations.

    I don’t usually pay attention to people who paint their faces, nor those who have anything to do with wrestling…

    However, he’s right.  There isn’t much walking the walk and a whole lotta talk.  And their behavior down there is less than civilized and the latter is incredibly revealing.  Hard to walk a moral high ground when you have to have committees to deal with assault allegations.  For if you cannot police even yourself,why would you think that anyone else from the outside would want to a) jump on your bandwagon or b) find you credible?

    You know, you using Corzine as a ‘well, your guy does it too’ argument actually validates OWS’s mission, which is to remove corporate influence and money from our political system.  

    Thanks for the unintended support!

  • Anonymous

    Um, it was due to the police barricades, not due to the protests.  

    The protesters are peaceful and non-violent.  The use of barricades was a police decision, one that many would argue was unnecessary.  So, if you have beef about this, bring it up with the NYPD.

    Actually they did start boycotting. That is why Bank of America withdrew its $5.00 a month debit card fee. OWS is just what this nation needs to wake voters up to the fact, that YES, THERE  are people who are perfectly willing to fill a void in democracy with lots of OLIGARCHY. The people in MI are getting first hand a lesson in TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, and we are all getting ripped off every day with the PRIVATIZATION of public services which were supposed to be better and cheaper. But then again, the privateers have to build inn the profit margin and the financial pirates know how to do that. Create a drug shortage and you get a $12.00 vile of cancer meds, raised up 8000%. I would say that is a pretty good profit, although greed is never satisfied. so, I am sure if they can get away with it, the next time around they’s be charging 9000%. And of course, if it is cancer meds for children, the govt will be paying because those private insurance companies don’t cover chronically ill children for very long.

    Nope. Rude, crude, and a personal attack with no connection to the article.

    I happen to agree with your flagging that guy.

  • Hilarious

    A)What is funny about your post is that the supposed “MSM” didn’t even pick up the Occupy ANYTHING story until it spread beyond Wall Street.  Even when people were getting assaulted and hauled off to jail for demonstrating the supposed MSM didn’t report anything until just recently.

    B) There are a lot of Ron Paul supporters that agree with the OWS movement.

    C) Aren’t you one?

    So did Hogan in ’98 XD

    common decency? coming from a guy who would make cancer patient children wait for him all day in the next room before he would meet them…that is the ultimate wuss’ legacy
    uncaring and devoid of common decency
