The Ultimate Warrior Says He Spent Over $1,000,000 Fighting Vince McMahon In Court

- Mister Saint Laurent reporting:

In part 2 of his MLW Radio appearance, which is available right now on MLW.com, The Ultimate Warrior spoke about fighting Vince McMahon in court for years and spending over a million dollars in the process. Warrior also commented about the respect he developed for Vince after the long battle.

“It went on for almost five years and it was about to start trial. It was a Friday. Vince and Linda were there with their counsel, Jerry McDevitt, and I was there with my counsel. It had gone on for five years. There were 30,000 documents. There were 30 or 40 depositions that had been taken in all different places all over the country. There were 900 exhibits. It was incredible. I was already into it for a million dollars in paid legal fees.”

“I think [Vince] was surprised as time went on. In those kinds of things, Vince has the money to throw at them all day long. He doesn’t really sit and think about the consequence. He just doesn’t. It was different for me because I was so close to it and it just kept dragging on and on. Vince is stubborn. Both Linda and others in their depositions under oath said the problem between me and Vince was that we were so much alike.”

“At the end of the day, after all the fighting and everything, I respect Vince more than anybody else. The writing is on the wall while you’re there. All the guys that are bitter about where they ended up in their lives, that wasn’t Vince’s responsibility. Vince’s loyalty was to his company, himself and his family. He wasn’t going to let anybody stand in the way and even though outsiders can see some of the things he did as vicious, I happen to admire that.”

Part 2 of The Ultimate Warrior on MLW Radio with Mister Saint Laurent is available on MLW.com, iTunes and syndicated by Stitcher.com.

    What were they fighting in court about?

    • AJG316

      Vince fired warrior because he tested positive for a drug test that warrior said never happened, very interesting.

  • Chris H

    Sincr when has Warrior been so…eloquent? This is a far cry from the usual offensive rambles and tirades I usually see associated with his name. Very interesting stuff.

  • Matt Scott

    Wow… $1,000,000… What a dumbass.
