The Ultimate Warrior

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Ultimate Warrior was a suped-up, ramped-up professional wrestler. He had miles of charisma and energy, and his entrance music only served to further enhance his reputation. Everything was fast-paced and high octane, and his sprint to the ring would blast out the electric-colored, pastel face paint. His off-the-charts strength made him look superhuman, and he was, for a period, considered a future torch-bearer for the "golden age of wrestling" because he looked like he had never-ending motor.

So when Steve Addazio called Ben Glines one of the team's "ultimate warriors" in his Monday remarks this week, it evoked the same wild man image.
