GET YOUR OWN GIMMICK!! by Gene Jackson

I saw a link to a story earlier today and went and checked it out and I wanted to comment on it and post it here so everyone else can go check it out. It's a newspaper article (with video included) of some douche bag from Jersey who is going around working shows as 'The Warrior' portraying himself to be the original "Ultimate Warrior", though only referring to himself as 'Warrior', which doesn't cover his ass cause Jim Hellwig used that name in WCW and actually had his name legally changed to Warrior. The guy even goes so far as to carry around promo pictures of Hellwig in his heyday and charges $10 a pop to sign them. This type of thing is complete bullshit in my opinion and is completely unfair to guys who are trying to come up in the business and make money on their own merit while guys like this get bookings and a better pay off from ripping off someone else. An example of this in this area is a while back when they had this guy running around dressed up like the Undertaker calling him 'the Deadman'. While I like Kenny Valiant and Rodney Grimes and some of the guys who used him, that is such bullshit to mislead people and charge them money to take pictures with some guy who they think is the Undertaker circa 1997 by the way, that's the part I didn't get about all these idiots thinking it was really him, he looked like the Undertaker 10 years ago, not the one of today. Anyway, I think this kinda shit is just another blight on the wrestling business and we really don't need anymore. Anyways, go check out the article and scroll down to the bottom of the page and check out the video of this wrestling and explaining himself.
