On a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone reacted to the comparisons between The Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg.
Schiavone analyzed the similarities and differences between the two WWE Hall of Famers.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On comparisons between the two: “That makes sense, Goldberg did not have a strong promo, he was strong, big and powerful, didn’t really stay in the ring that long… Of course the Ultimate Warrior was pretty weird because all that he talked about, and Goldberg was kind of this real tough, rough, former football player.”
On Warrior’s famous entrance: “I always thought that he didn’t do a good enough job of milking the entrance, and I knew that was his character. He sprinted to the ring, grabbed the ropes, shook the ropes, compare that to Hulk Hogan, who took his time and was talking as he came to the ring… I’m sorry, I never got the Ultimate Warrior, I never understood him. I just never [got him], you know everybody always says that he blew up within the first three minutes of the match, but you can see that he’s taking his time to get back into the ring.”

In a recent episode of his podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone discussed the comparisons between two WWE Hall of Famers, The Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg. Schiavone analyzed the similarities and differences between the two iconic wrestlers.
Firstly, Schiavone acknowledged that both Goldberg and The Ultimate Warrior were known for their physicality and power in the ring. Goldberg, a former football player, was known for his toughness and roughness. On the other hand, The Ultimate Warrior had a unique character and was known for his intense energy and athleticism.
However, Schiavone pointed out that there were significant differences between the two wrestlers as well. Goldberg was not known for his strong promo skills, whereas The Ultimate Warrior had a distinct way of delivering his promos. Goldberg relied more on his physical presence and dominance in the ring, while The Ultimate Warrior had a more eccentric and flamboyant persona.
Schiavone also discussed The Ultimate Warrior’s famous entrance, where he sprinted to the ring, grabbed the ropes, and shook them vigorously. While some fans appreciated this high-energy entrance, Schiavone felt that The Ultimate Warrior could have done a better job of milking the moment. He compared it to Hulk Hogan’s slower and more charismatic entrance, where Hogan would take his time and interact with the crowd.
Despite The Ultimate Warrior’s popularity and impact on the wrestling industry, Schiavone admitted that he personally never fully understood or connected with the character. He mentioned that some critics claimed The Ultimate Warrior would often tire quickly during matches, but Schiavone observed that the wrestler would actually take his time to get back into the ring, contradicting that notion.
In conclusion, Tony Schiavone shared his thoughts on the comparisons between The Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg. While both wrestlers had their own unique styles and contributions to the industry, they also had distinct differences in terms of their promos, in-ring presence, and character. The Ultimate Warrior’s intense energy and eccentricity contrasted with Goldberg’s brute strength and physical dominance. Despite not fully understanding The Ultimate Warrior’s character, Schiavone acknowledged his impact on the wrestling world.
