What's the general consensus on the truthfulness of the Ultimate Warrior documentary WWE put out?

I saw it and thought it was pretty hilarious, but ridiculously one-sided. On the other hand, they made a pretty convincing argument for Warrior being a totally bat-poo poo crazy ego-maniac, so I dunno what to make of it. Are there any outside sources that corroborate the stuff they talk about in it?

people outside the wwe verified most of it.

I almost forgot to mention with London & Kendrick, they had them save HHH from an attack and then HHH just pedigreed the both of them.

I think the last thing Paul London ever did in the WWE was get the Liontamer slapped on him by Jericho. I was thinking they were going to have some kinda battle of the protege's with Cade/Jericho and London/HBK, since I think Shawn trained London.

Paul wasn't actually trained by Shawn and actually told a funny story about how Shawn just came up to him one day and was just like "...Did....Did I train you?"

What do you think makes a good attire, and what makes an attire look 'strictly indy?' I'm mainly asking because I've started attending indy shows on a regular basis again, and I overheard a conversation from two guys arguing about pleather tights, since one guy thought they looked cheap and nasty and only indy nobodies wear them whereas the other guy prefered them to trunks and more standard tights.

If you wear baggy pants that resemble trash bags, you look very, very indy.

Most of the actual facts discussed in the doc are accurate, though they weren't able or willing to give Warrior's side to anything so the story you get is pretty biased (as you noticed). The problem is the entire thing is full of editorializing so it's hard to separate the factual information from the speaker's, any by extension the WWE's, opinion on stuff. In particular, half the stuff Hogan says during the doc is bullshit.

True. But once he refused to participate, they apparently weren't able to bring in anyone sympathetic to his side of the story to talk on the DVD. Of course, I'm not even sure if there are any people in the industry who are sympathetic to Warrior at this point. At any rate, in the end the WWE wasn't really interested in making a positive documentary about him.

The only bullshit part of the doc was when Hogan said Warrior broke the "first rule of booking" by mentioning he beat Hogan before.

The entire angle was that he beat Hogan once, and the introduction to the Warrior was about how no one could beat him.

It was one of the most transparent moments of Hulk being a self-conscious prick I have ever seen.

Good attire: Dryan Banielson. Baniel Dryan. Whatever. One sold color, makes him look serious and it's become a trademark look. Pretty much anyone in the WWE has their poo poo designed for them and it all looks pretty good.

What is an "indy standoff?" Is it when two wrestlers do a bunch of really awesome chain wrestling and then end up landing face to face and staring at each other while everyone cheers? Because I love those.

He switched right around the time of the first Taboo Tuesday, I think. That was also around the time he switched from his babyface character to heel.
