patrickemmons Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My friend Adam Hunt (of Graf Orlock) and I are doing a series of screen printed wrestling posters. He is doing the art & I'm doing the printing / concept. Our first one is of the Ultimate Warrior and I just put it up in our webstore for sale, it's only $15. Spread the word and pick one up if you like it! Here is the link to purchase: http://acityinside.s...-printed-poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Honest Question: Does anyone consider what the Ultimate Warrior did to be wrestling? Sports entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Sports entertainment. the irony is that back in his day, it was very campy/gimmick-heavy but it was before it was ever really acknowledged that it was fake / predetermined / whatever. so you had a guy like the warrior running around in facepaint, talking about drawing on powers from skeletons or what have you while presenting it as a legitimate "sport." now, its the other way around. gimmick-lite and they couldnt be more open to the fact that its simply entertainment. i guess maybe thats the necessary balance for people to suspend their disbelief for a couple hours but it feels like it would be more appropriate for wrestling to be campy / gimmick heavy now than before since the whole world is clued in anyway.

Well, looking back at that period the writers gave everyone a career to build off of. The only two that really came out of that era (error?) were the Undertaker and HHH. It's weird to look back and think that the Undertaker came out of the same class of wrestling gimmick as The Repo Man, Irwin R Shyster, Issaac Yankem and those wrestling garbage men. Triple-H was supposed to just be a rich brat who didn't need to work. Anyway, I know many have fond memories of the Warrior but the guy was a truly terrible wrestler who ran up the ladder to the Main Event without deserving the push. If this print had been Jake The Snake turning heal and having a cobra bite the Warrior? That I would have bought. The Warrior's spots with Jake Roberts trying to find his inner- who-knows-what are some of the funniest pieces WWF ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlettingjoe Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 that is pretty awesome. good job man. i think a Goldust one would look pretty cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickemmons Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 For Goldust a black poster w/ metallic gold and white ink would be classy - maybe just the face makeup and wig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selfreliable Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Never was a Warrior fan, but really looking forward to what else you do. This one looks awesome, cant wait to see how Bryan comes out. That is one I can totally get behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
