Are you in the market for some rather useless pro wrestling facts? How about some gaudy wrestling stats? Can I show you something in the form of wrestling trivia? If you said yes to any or all of the above…then this is the place for you! No need to go shopping elsewhere for wrestling facts and such…I think we have what you need right here. So let’s do a little learning shall we?
This is the 316th installment of the ‘Wrestling with Sin‘ series. A group of stories that delves into the darker, underbelly of pro wrestling. Many of the stories involve such subjects as sex, drugs, greed and in some cases even murder! As with every single story in the Sin series, I do not condone or condemn the alleged participants. We simply retell their stories by researching interviews, newspapers, magazines and various other sources of media.

For fans not familiar of Pearce, he was and is more than just another face in a suit.

Sure, Warrior was a heel back in his days wrestling in World Class Championship Wrestling as ‘The Dingo Warrior’….but never played a heel after joining the WWF/WWE. So what’s the deal with the title of this piece? There was an actual plan in place to have The Ultimate Warrior go bad.
