Warrior (Ultimate Warrior) Rips Apart Ebay Member Over Comments Made About An Auction
Well normally I'd use the term that Warrior raped this Ebay member of his dignity. But that's not politically correct as a subject title.
Nonetheless, here's a very entertaining story involving The Warrior, and some geek ebay member who attempted to insult the former WWE Champion. Interesting that the member's name is Dave. So we'll put a picture to the name and describe what went down.
Meet Dave. Dave is an ebay member who came across auctions that The Warrior is selling. The auctions involve Pro Wrestling Action Figures by Jakks Pacific with an asking price of $300.
Some question the high price, but people don't realize it's not coming from your average Joe. Case in point. I have in my home a cigarette lighter Frank Sinatra gave my family about 10 years ago. It's a regular lighter but he sent it to me with a small card. The lighter is probably worth $20. But if I sold it with the proof it came from Sinatra, it's worth about $600. So Warrior has every right to put a $300 price tag on his merchandise.
Under THIS AUCTION being sold by Warrior, an Ebay Memeber 'Dave' sends the following message:
"Warrior, You sir are HILARIOUS!! You are my hero. If I ever become famous I wanna go off my rocker just like you. Dave"
Warrior's response?
"What you mean is that you know will never become famous, but in your dreams when you fantasize that you might one day, you would want to have the confidence and belief in the staying power and value of your product like I do MINE. The difference between the truth you are ashamed to tell and the ridicule you find humor and comfort in, can be analogized like this: You run a pawn shop and I sell valuable collectibles. You have to sell 15-16 figures to make just at $300. I have to sell one. Our ads cost about the same, around $3-5. On top of that, your 15 figures, even given away for free, can never match the value of buying the SET for $300 from me with COA's and autographed 8x10's. If you think so, then you win the prize for hilarity, not I. Who's off their rocker? And who's the hypocrite? You bash me for capitalizing off the value I worked hard and sacrificed to build, and yet, you run out and buy my Intellectual Property, which I own the legal right to license, and, then, you turn around and resale it for a profit, yourself! For you, and others like you, I consider my highly-valued auctions charitable contributions to the study and practice of psychology. All you begrudging flops get to write and belittle my auctions and, therefore, have your self-esteems fed vilely the same. It makes you all feel bigger and more socially-conscious about yourselves: Is he nuts? $300 for action figures! Why, I wouldn't pay... Excuse me, Davey Boy, yes you would. That is, if you had it, you would. You want these figures, Davey Boy, but you can't afford the $300. You’re welcome for, both, the business lesson and my charity. And I must, in return, thank you for the laughs and the fun break of two minutes I spent scrawling this out for further public amusement. Have a great non-motivational, indebted life. W"
Gotta love Warrior. Contrary to our support of Warrior over the years, you'll now see all these geeks that have ripped Warrior in the past find him as being cool. Maybe Warrior can do us a favor and put up some fresh packets of Kool-Aid on Ebay for Dave and the other geeks that all of sudden have cotton mouth.
